Fruit flies buzzing round my head, keep buzzin' round my head keep....

I'll keep singing to the tuneless song. Well it does have a tune, it goes to that song that's like... "Raindrops fallin' on my head, keep fallin' on my head---"

The other day while I was in the bookstore, I figured I'd buy myself a prisma colour marker. I already have a few of them, a bunch of varying grays, a green, a red... Fun stuff, but I saw the "sky blue" marker and for some reason it fascinated me.

I picked it up and decided to pay for it, the thought in my mind that I could use it to make achromatic drawings on top of my gray collection of markers. In my brain I was thinking I could start up a new style for myself as I got used to markers and started to build up my collection.

I'm enjoying it! To the right I have a couple sketches I drew tonight and coloured really really fast sketch like, just to try and get the feel. I also coloured a few of my older, cleaner sketches to see how it looked, and I've decided I want to pull out my green marker and try making achromatic drawings in green.

I also completely forgot about my gray set of markers and wound up not using them at all, but that's alright because I enjoyed myself with just the blue on top of all my messy lines and then my cleaner inked lines.

I was also experimenting with Tinettes design, and when I drew her hair I was like... "Ooooo, I LIKE this drawing!" It was supposed to be a doodle following the recent happenings of the RP, but I wound up liking the drawing enough to not want to destroy it.

My tea is incredibly sweet tonight.

I also was playing with eye styles tonight, because I just watched the Swan Princess and was like.. I want to try something ELSE for eyes! She just doesn't look... she looks far too like.. Eh, I wanted to give her more angular lines to match her angular face and her sharp personality. So for Tina, I looked up pictures of Megara, from Disney's Hercules to give me ideas for how I would pull off a more angular eye shape without looking ridiculous.

Also, something I noticed in the Swan Princess that I never picked up on before.. Adding eyelashes to characters eyes just gives them that much more depth. So when I doodled Suka tonight, I tried to give her eyelashes to look less flat and pasted on her face. AY FINK IT WORKED! Which of course, in turn, makes me happy.

Everytime I draw Suka now-a-days, she looks worried and unhappy. And is healed. I'm having far too much fun with this healed version from the RP, when in her world her disease kills her and she never really gets the chance to show off her face... Half a face is so hard to express emotions with! I like drawing her full face >< Oh well, I think I'll go and try to draw a happier Suka, and maybe play with my green marker, when I dig it up.

Tomorrow is my least favourite day of the week and I have the startings of a headache! Oh glorious.

And I am out! 10:25
