For me it is... in AUS. I can't seem to finish any of my artworks properly since I don't really have my own style of drawings, sketching, linearting, colouring etc... I tried colour pencils, it is fun but when I think about how hard it is or how long it will take I get discourage and give up. =.=

At the moment I have ... around 100 unfinished works. I wouldn't be suprised if I actually did as that was a guess. Most of them I look back on and think are crap. Then in the end I have nothing new to put up since I think it's all bad and not worth finishing as all that practising has made me better somehow.

I keep my unfinished works for future inpsiration. Sometimes I think I'm the sort of person who doesn't ever finish anything they start - when it comes to art that is. I usually give up half way and show it as an end product because I'm too lazy to put any effort into fixing it and finishing it properly.

When I'm not drawing and most likely reading manga or doing school homework, in the back of my mind, I'm usually thinking that I don't have enough time to draw. The best time for art is to do art as a form of procrastination in my opinion. When I think I have free time and decide to use it for drawing or something, it comes out really bad. Also after looking at other people's "pro" artwork I'm inspired and try to draw something cool and comes out as the total opposite.

So technically it wasn't an artist block?

drawing and sketching is the only think I can really do well - in a sense.

Also my internet has been cutting out. Maybe my slow internet or crap internet is due to my dodgy internet service provider. However, it could just be late payments or something. =.=

This just leads up to: All the work in my gallery is OLD. Well most of it anyway.
So perhaps in the holidays I'll make an effort, which is what I always say and end up jsut reading manga instead.

I discovered and interesting anime: Time of Eve. It's pretty good but updates every 1-2months because of how good it is... perhaps? I won't hype it up otherwise you'll be discouraged to check it out. Examples of overhyped things: twilight... wait I can't think of any others.

I'll just be early for earth hour so I don't forget. Lights OFF 5 minutes earlier. : D

So its the 8/8/08! wait i'm late by an hour dammit.. Oh well

I finally got my new computer. It is very snazzy and ultra fast. Although I'm kinda sad my vista hates my scanner so I can't scan anything anymore and my photoshop won't work... -.- So even if I did want to add anything, I can't. Unless you want to see some of my crappy MS Paint pictures. You don't want to see, trust me.

===

Yay Olympics! The opening ceremony was wonderful!! Although one of the commentators was somewhat annoying...

Twas Simply beautiful.

===

I still have been drawing though, only realistic. I can't draw anime anymore, it's impossible now. But since I couldn't draw it very well to begin with I guess I shouldn't be seeing an improvement anway.

Art project for school lead up work due soon. I only have 2 days to do it -.-. Since I was so lazy I left it up until now. I'm not very creative anymore... so my art diary is so...so boring. Pah and my sister keeps on stealing my coputer without asking because she knows if she did ask I wouldn't let her. Yeah but I'm those type of people who can't say no very well unless I'm really angry. And when she does "homework" on my computer she's playing granado espada instead. She already has her own computer but apparently it dies Well she can deal with it. Gosh now do I sound mean. But it is unfair still I mean she has never been on my copmuter until now and coped fine, I mean it really is only for playing GAMES.

-.-"

hmm... well

Hope you are having a happy day?

Yay... I might get a new pc !!!
At the moment I have a pentinum 4 with 480 mb ram.. and not even 20gb of space.. ahhhh It's so obsolete. -.-

Well I've only been looking around and i've heard that acer is the worst brand. Also that I shud get an intel processor with 4 cores (quad). Apparently they're good, probably...
A friend told me I should just order a supercomputer from Japan. Not a bad idea but it sounds too troublesome and expensive.

I went to some local computer shops but nothing really caught my attention.

========================

Stayed at home the whole day today. Playing granado espada for a bit and reading manga. Manga mainly. Granado Espada has become boring because its just basically levelling up and I just want my characters to have pretty clothing. That's probably the only reason I play.
You have to be level 72+ to wear pretty costumes... my highest levelled characters are only 29. o.o

Oh yeah my winamp died! Must be because I refused to download the latest version. *sigh... That must be the reason. Now i've resorted to using windows media player. I never use it but I'm starting to like it although I miss my Winamp skin which has Goku from saiyuki on it.

=======================

I'm currently working on a few drawings and CG things. 3 of them maybe? One I left at school.
Well I haven't been sketching much; I've found it hard to lineart and colour. Especially If I were to try cell shading and stuff on photoshop.

I have a few ideas I want to see on paper, which means I need to get a move on.

I can't even tell when I'm finished. For example, I've been working on 1 artwork for months and months and I've been changing it again and again. Hopefully improving it.

So that's why I haven't added anything -.- I don't think its good enough. ahhh well I hope I can finish sooner or later. I should draw random sketches and just add anything although it looks like i'm lazier

Plus if anyone knows any good blonde hair tutorials? I've been avoiding the colour blonde and have been giving everyone black hair. I should try brown but then I think of Raito. Or if you know of any good tutorials then just comment back or anything to do with contacting me.

Ok besides typing out a journal entry I should be drawing!

Update
=====
Finally an update! and I have finished saturn137's request of her original character, Minazuki Shurui.
[link]

hmm I haven;t been working on manga at all and probably think i should reconsider and try drawing poses... I really dont want my first manga to look weird... so I'll try my best!!

=Upcoming Manga?=

I have had plenty of school homework to do and other things so that's why I haven't been very active. Also I'm too lazy to scan things or I think it looks stupid...

So, I've started thinking about story ideas for a manga I might create. I'm starting a Shoujo... since they seem to be very cliche it may be easier for me to do. I'm really bad at thinking of unique plot lines but we'll see how I go. I did have a shounen kind of plot line but decided it was too complicated.

I have drawn 1 page but its the most crappiest manga page in the world!! I should think about the lot more first and how it starts and stuff...

Well Look forward to a story by me! Plus other random character drawings maybe... unless I'm too scared people will steal my ideas although they're lame ideas anyway, so meh.

It is a WIP.

I'm also thinking I could draw it all on the computer, but I think I would die at the end. It would be oekaki manga! xD... ^^" I think it would be fun. I could just submit sketches of what I think manga pages look like and stuff.

===

I seem to be liking more chinese songs since I have been watching Hana Kimi - Taiwanese version. I've already read the manga but it is still very funny!! I still like the manga better though.

haha... plus I think my new DA ID looks too out of place and I'm gonna kill it very soon... Poor guy ;_:
