Description A postcard for my friend Juli, who's a big David fan Yay, David LeMaye! It was great to draw my favorite Canadian expat again. I never cease to love all those freckles. I like how this came out, with the crosshatching and all. Oh, and ORANGE!

Psst, pronounce the title the way the frankyphones do--kebehkwa--or else the alliteration fails

Oh man, my French is deteriorating like wet tissue paper now that I'm not studying it anymore. The Chinese is just DEVOURING it alive. 啊,说实在的,我觉得中文比法语好多了,哈哈哈.

All the different textures in this picture work great together, and I love how he's left uncoloured against the bright background - it makes him the obvious focus of attention and stops the piece from becoming overwhelming. The curls of his hair also look very good.

Having smaller hatching behind the head was a good idea. It definately directs the focus on a piece with minimal color. It also flows nicely with the freckle consentration. Overall enjoyable.

I actually met someone from VT the other day. He used the term "Quebecois" which I had never heard. I wondered if you had...silly me. He also said that when he tells people he's from Vermont, a good portion think it's a province.

I'm part Quebecois myself My grandfather was french-canadian, half Quebecois and half Arcadian.


chapter posting would require me having more than fifteen minutes to myself at any given point during the day, a phenomenon which has not occurred much in the past few weeks. But I shall try!!

all of that crosshatching! waah and the details are all really great say, was the background crosshatching supposed to get bigger and bigger? XD i can only think of stuff like that when i'm covering up for a mistake.

Yup Or, rather, larger to smaller, since I started at the edges and worked inwards :]

因为中文没有 "conjugation" 所以比 Romance Languages 好多了。 可是,中文有非常多汉字...0.o

The characters are hard, but they sorta make it fun--it's like a secret code for a club, and only we Chinese speakers can read it!!
