!!!!!!I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!


I have so many wonderful friends around me. I tend to forget that when I'm really down, so... I can't even thank you all enough!

Already I've finished 2 pictures this year! That's gotta be a record! But the reason is because I'm hoping to draw a lot so that I can sell artwork at Anime Banzai this year (which is in October). Plus, the more I draw, the more I'll improve! There's always room for improvement!

So I decided that I'm going to draw fanart of all the animes/mangas that have inspired me throughout my years of drawing. Already I finished one of them.



So now, before watching my brother play Silent Hill - Shattered Memories (which scares the crap outta me) I'm going to write a list of all the animes/mangas that I love.... and I still need to finish friends' pictures ( ~DesShade I'll get yours done, I promise! >_<; ).

I'm attending a Copic Marker class this Thursday where I'll learn the basics of coloring (believe me, I tried to color and I'm at a complete loss. Plus, with each class you get a free marker, and so by Thursday I'll have 19.... which isn't a lot, but it's a pretty good start. ^-^ So hopefully by summer we'll all see some traditional marker works. And I'm trying my hand at colored pencils as well, but those, too, are a little frustrating for me.

But be on the lookout, peeps!

I love you all!

It hasn't been a fantastic week (and it's only Monday ._.; ) but the weekend wasn't too good. My ex treats me like a part of the wall, what with him ignoring me though he's the one that calls me to hang out with him, and her wonderful attempts at spamming me and putting me on her anti-arisa list, so it felt like the only reason why people came to visit me wasn't because of my artwork, but because of her. Plus, I failed one of my classes, and trying to register into it is being a real pain in the rear. I just want to graduate and be done with school at this point in time.

I go back to work today, which is good because I need the money, but it's going to be busy, what with annoyed customers and mad lines and ugh... I could go on.

Classes start next week, which will be nice I suppose. I'm taking a Children's Literature class.

Hopefully I can have more time to draw. My sister asked me to teach her how to draw, which should be fun. XD

And she had enough nerve to KEEP the same icon.

Once again, she's spamming. It's so annoying. =_= It's now worse than before. I sent DA a message, but I'm sure it's going to take forever. So all the page views I'm getting today don't seem deserved because it's all because of her constant spamming.

Anyway, happy new years to all of you. Let's all make a resolution to improve and to work hard, and NOT be annoying! XD

I'm working on two pictures at the moment. One is ~DesShade's late late LATE Christmas present and the other is of Mitsuki, Takuto and Meroko. So be on the lookout.

So now that Christmas has come and gone these are my new years resolutions

1 - Color More on Photoshop - EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! I got Photoshop for Christmas! So now I can color whenever I want to. :3 I'm so happy!
2 - Learn Copic markers - My mom bought me 12 of them so now all I need to do is learn how to use them. My mom said that there's a class near my house that offers to teach people how to use them. It's 15 dollars each class session plus they give you free markers. I really want to go!
3 - Write, write, write write write. Yep! The only way I'll be able to get stories done is by writing.
4 - READ! I got some new books for Christmas that I need to read. In order to improve my writing I need to read.
5 - DRAW, BABY, DRAW! The only way to improve is by practicing.

Um.... that's it for now, I think.

Pokemon is such an addicting game.

A big thanks to everyone who gave me presents this year. The comics, pokemon toys, sushi kitty, hello kitty, and so much more were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

Uwhaaa~ I slept in today! And I don't have work until the beginning of January! It's better than last year because I didn't work for a month, so my paycheck won't be too bad.

So that means I'll be home for most of Christmas break. Hopefully I can draw more and finish ~DesShade's picture. I need to make a few adjustments on it before I start coloring.

Thank you all so much for the loving comments from my last journal. Thankfully, that girl was banned since she was underaged. What a stupid troll... :shakehead: I bet you anything she'll start a new account and start the trolling again.

But true to my word, I took down just a few sketches of Twilight, while the others remain to only look and fav.

As for my life? It's pretty darn good now that I'm not at school. I don't have the courage to look at my grades yet (I won't until after Christmas). It's always a thing of mine, check after the joyous season is over, so I won't be depressed if they're terrible before Christmas. Orz.....

Merry Christmas, everyone. What are you all hoping to give and receive?
