Good luck Christy! And may the force be with you.
Man, 3:00AM. Why am I up so late. Dunno. I think it's cause I've been use to this kinda life style. Sleeping late, waking up late. Now with school I thought that my pattern would change but it's still the same. I have mostly afternoon and night classes. My earliest class starting at 3:00PM and my latest class going to 9:00PM. I could be doing something productive. I did finish my assignments and readings. I should be drawing. But no, I'm vegging out in front of the computer with 4-chan opened and I'm monitoring my bit torrent downloads. Broadband is so evil. Discipline is what I lack. I bet many people lack that. All I gotta do is shut down the monitor and sit at my drawing table and draw a bit. Draw what? I don't know. Anything. Maybe some "H" drawings. Yeah! Actually, I should be doing some drawings for some comic idea I'm doing for a buddy of mine. He's got the whole script down but hasn't drawn much of it. I think I'm gonna try turn it into a manga. Hmmmmmm....the notion of doing a comic. I've done comics in my youth for my own entertainment. Scribbles I did when I was a busboy at my family restaurant when I was 12. I think I have those drawings. Looking back at them made me realize how far I've come in drawing as far as understanding form, proportion, anatomy, perspective. I drew on and off never really finishing one drawing. My ideas back then that I thought were awsome are now so corny. I think I still have them somewhere in my garage stored in boxes that use to contain fortune cookies from my parent's restaurant. Didn't have much paper then and I drew on napkins, scraps of paper and receipt rolls. My first comic was about this guy and his dog. I always envisioned myself of living on my own with a dog and having adventures. I did have a dog. His name was Blackie. He passed away back in 1999 around November. I miss him. I would get another dog but going through that heart break of losing a pet was something I don't know I could bear with again.
Oooooo~!!! One torrent has been completed! Waiting for the next one. Actually I'm doing this for a buddy of mine who has only dial-up. Poor fella. I remember my 14400 days.
But yeah. I don't know what will happen when my cat dies. Maybe I wont feel much of anything since I don't really like her. She doesn't do much and runs away a lot. But back to the comic thing. If I only had that inner childhood essence that I had back then I probably be able to create more and frequently. Right now I do at least probably a few drawings a month. That may change cause of one drawing class I'm taking at SJSU. It's fun, but I hate charcoal. Though it's fast and you can throw in values and manipulate it by pushing and pulling the drawing to get a quick gesture or layout, it's just darn messy. But it forces me to be very loose and to use my whole arm rather than my hand and fingers to draw. And using your whole arm is better. That gum eraser is pretty neat though. I wish I knew about it earlier when I started drawing with charcoal.
Aw, Mayer bunny survived. He didn't get teh pwnage he deserved.
