Description "Pff. This guy. Thinks he can stay up all night grading papers then use me as a pillow when I've got work to do."

A color version of the sketch of the same name. I was going to submit it to the Horitsuba contest at , but I missed the deadline... Oh well. It would have been my second entry anyway.

Um. Scan is worse than original. I am very clumsy with white acrylic. Watercolors go all over the place, and I'm not sure how to color large areas smoothly. On the other hand, I discovered I can use calligraphy ink for the lineart if I apply it after the watercolors are dry! Except in places like Fai's hair where I didn't let them dry enough, so the lines are too thick :{ .

Sometimes I am dissatisfied with my artistic ability.

b'aw to sad you didn't get in on time ;A;

though i think i could help you a bit with the thing for watercolours if you first apply a little bit of water over the whole erea you want to colour and then add the colour, spreading it it will have more an even colour ^^b hope you can try it out sometime

also i really think that sentence in your comment could've happened for real in horitsuba haha >u👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Thanks for the advice - I will definitely try that next time! I wish I could get some nice markers, because it looks like they scan better than watercolors, but... so expensive XP .

Heehee, I rather like your art so I'm really happy {read: kind of smug} to have gotten a comment from you.

Too late! RUINED!!!!!!! Celebrate with pink confetti!!! By the way, can you take a look at goth Annie's makeup? Can you do that/write instructions so I can practice while I'm up here?
So Nautica Mike isn't gonna Kuro-tan for us. (((((((((((((((( <--how unhappy I am. On the other hand, he's in Ithaca for a bit! Yay!
