Something a Little Pretty

Hahaha, albums are going up on facebook from our Christmas escapades.

I'm happy with todays doodle. I was going to go all out and shade it, but when I laid in the flats and tested it on the texture I dug up, I realized I didn't really want to shade it.

I got this idea somewhere in the two hours I was sitting in the learning commons, trying to pick my electives for next semester.

I wanted something simple and expressive. I wanted to draw Suka happy, because right now, while I'm writing about her, I've got her in a place where she's frightened and worried all the time. If any of my characters deserve a bit of a break, Suka does.

So here she is, happy, probably laughing at something she finds amusing.

I like this, even if it is super simple. I think I'll upload it to devart.

Managed to sign up for all of my electives for next semester. Busy looking schedule. I lost both of my days off to eight AM classes, oh boy oh boy! I also got a couple more classes that run all the way to six, meaning a lot more days of walking home in the dark.

I'm excited for interpretive painting, and figurative sculpture, I'm interested slightly in Digital Media and Art in the Cinema, and everything else can go fall in a hole and die.

I clearly don't like this year all that much, but what can I do?

Break starts on Friday, and I'm heading home with my dad. From there, I'm visiting my grandparents, hanging around the house, celebrating Christmas and all in all doing very little. I will be catching up with my good friend Meggie, but Stephies going to be in the bahamas, so I'm not going to be able to give her my present.

Hopefully a lot of art will be done. I have half a sketchbook left, and less than three weeks to fill it. I want to work on my present for Meggers, but I don't think I'll finish in time, oh no!

Tomorrow I'm finally going to get a picture with Santa Claus, for the first time ever in my life. Hooray! It's probably just a student, but oh well!
