Challenging My Self!!

Tue Dec 1, 2009, 5:44 PM
  • Mood: Wow!
  • Listening to: My imagination going fzzzboom!
  • Reading: Howl's Moving Castle!!
  • Watching: Monk <3
  • Drinking: Tea.Tea.Tea.So much tea.
Okay. So as anyone who watches me knows, I am a horrible, horrible procrastinator. I just... Don't do stuff. It's a bad habit. (Please refer yourself to the free sketches journal. Pitiful.)

Anyways. I'm reading Howl's Moving Castle and it's making my imagination go something like this:

ffffffzzzzzzzzffffffffzzzzzzzzzzzzFFFFFF ZZZZZZZZZBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM MMMMM

So I'm going to CHALLENGE MYSELF!! After every chapter (roughly) I'm going to draw a picture! It might be a horrid sketch and it might be a MASTERPIECE! but I'll post it no matter what! I can't promise this will happen as planned, but we'll see. I'll make an effort. =D

Toodeeloo!

A Confession

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 22, 2009, 12:01 PM
  • Mood: Exhilarated
  • Listening to: Robbie Robertson
  • Reading: The Looking Glass Wars
  • Watching: Glee!
  • Playing: Sims 3
  • Eating: Doughnuts . So many doughnuts.
  • Drinking: MILK!
I have a confession to make...
This is a difficult thing to tell you...
I don't know how to say this...
But...
I have this secret...
An obsession, you might say...
An obsession with...

The French Revolution.

I am SUCH A NEEEERD!!! In history class we're learning about the French Revolution and I'm completely fascinated by it. Every aspect. I just really wish that Marie Anntoinette had actually said "Let them eat cake," because that would've been totally BA. I just pretend she did.

I'm also convinced that Maximillien is the best name of all time. Of all time!

I've been doing a lot of drawings of Marie and Max etc. None of Louis yet, but I'm not a big fan of his. A few of the fishwomen, because they scare me. And none of Marat!! D8 I need to do a picture of him. Hopefully I'll be posting them soon, I'm just having trouble perfecting the way they do their hair. Augh, and Guillotines freak me out!! I'm also very bad at drawing them. It's quite a problem.

So here's hoping I learn more about the Revolution on Monday!! =)

Free Sketches Closed!

But I'm always open for requests (especially sketches) so it doesn't matter much, haha.

So now I have a HUGE list of things to draw. And if you're disappointed in how slowly I'm going, imagine 3x that disappointment and that's how I feel. BUT I WILL GET THEM DONE EVENTUALLY!!!

Here goes. -Deep breath-

I wanted a sketch from :icondeipie: and :icontop-cap:... AND :iconecosushipops: and as a result I must do sketches for ten people as well. (If I can even get 10 people to sign up...)

So! If you want a sketch, comment on this note!! The first ten people to post a comment get a slot! Feel free to request what you want the sketch to be of, but if you don't really care, just leave it blank and I'll do something fantastically creative and relevant to you. (Lizzy, if you comment, this doesn't count as your bday present, I'm still working on it!! <3)
