I thought this piece was just…beautiful. Discovered it on YouTube while looking for good instrumentals. The first part kind of reminds me of the prologue from Beauty and the Beast. *_*

Summer…you need to come QUICKER!

I was so exhausted yesterday, but I got stuff done, and I’m looking forward to the long weekend. Next week is the last week of class, and then evaluation conferences, and then I’m done for the summer!

WOHOO! I can get back to commissions, sit back and take it easy! And enjoy some much-needed sun.

I think I’m just going to ignore the internet today, because I need some serious ‘me’ time. It was so hard to get out of bed this morning, and I felt like I was a bit snippy at some of my online friends yesterday because I was so stressed out.

Not gonna do that!

Nope!

Gonna be good to myself so I can be good to other people! I like this plan!

Ciao for now!

Something to listen to while drawing, perhaps? It’s EPIC!

Wacom Intuos5

Only difference I see between this and my Intuos4 is that it allows you to use your hands as well as the pen, as well as being completely wireless.

USEFUL.

But I’ll keep mine around for a few more years, I think. :)

I think I have at least three different styles going right now:

Doodle/Fashion Illustration style (my stylized pics)

Pseudo-Doodle/RP Illustration style (my…comic-book style pics)

Pseudo-Realism (my attempts at realism that IDGAF about)

For no reason at all, this song popped into my head again.

Need a free alternative to Photoshop/Corel Painter, but need the tablet support that GIMP doesn’t have?

Google MyPaint.

I just downloaded this program (it’s completely free), and…I’m pleasantly surprised. It emulates natural media (like Painter), puts emphasis on the canvas (so it’s not all in a window where you can’t SEE a damn thing!), and the menus are toggle-able.

The layer options are extremely basic, but…if you know what you’re doing, that’s about all you need.

This piece NEVER gets old. <3

My selection for classes for fall quarter….

…is bad,

And I mean BAD.

I can’t find any Art History related courses that I would want to take.

All the ones I found interesting take place during the evening (buses don’t run that late, and the cost of gas would be MURDER),
or
go over stuff I already learned in this last program,
or
are ‘study abroad’ classes that I can’t afford
or
aren’t allowing anybody above Sophomore level in. 

Well…shit. So what do I do?

I guess I’ll just take a less-related one-quarter program until the program I really want starts up in winter quarter.

Not much else I can do.

Artists who inspire me

Yoshitaka Amano
