Description Ayeeee Merry Christmas, everyone!

I may have been inactive for about.. 2 months??? But I still haven’t forgotten about Christmas!!

I didn’t really set a light source when I started shading, so when I remembered that I didn’t set a light source I was already half way done and got kind of lazy so I just selected everything and shaded with a dark blue??? It gave it a bit of a dark atmosphere, so I quite liked the ending result.

I did something similar to this drawing last year, I never posted it but it was a really badly coloured version with a stiff, sitting down lazy one eye closed pose. I’ve never really draw a falling down type of pose so idk how clothing is supposed to look? I probably should’ve made the hair a little bit more wild, it looks more like she’s slowly drifting down haha I added some purpleish and bluish tones to the red to give it a silk-like look. When you look at red silk, you always see a tint of blue of purple on the shadows lol

I’ve got three more art assignments I made for myself that I need to finish before the end of the year, one is a collab and the other two are special events.. can you guess what they are?

P.S, I swapped around Alice’s eye colour, I’ll probably elaborate on that later.

//Gladly cleans it for you

I actually drew the rough sketch during the flight xDD at 12-3 am lol Recently I’ve been picking colours beforehand to see whether they work or not, I’m really bad at picking colours on the spot xD
Soft light did all the work I’d usually use overlay but that made it come on too strong??

Aaaa I’m glad it comes off as painterly!! I switched over to IbisPaint and the brushes... aren’t exactly accurate to what they say it is so it was hard to give it that painterly look xD

hA nO HAVE A LOOK AT YOUR 2017 SUMMARY ARE YOU KIDDING??? LOOK AT ALL THAT BOOTIFUL TRIAL AND ERROR AND IMPROVEMENT THAT MAKES YOUR GORGEOUS ART THE WAY IT IS NOW-

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO!! //starts to cry  F-for me?!? I am so touched aaaa Im going to try to finish my Tenma and Squid drawing asap then!!

I've never been on a flight but it takes abt 10 hours to travel to the furthest state and sitting in a cramped car for the entire duration with heavy traffic isn't really ideal to draw xDD

Ooo yea I recently noticed that too! I'm usually using overlay or multiply but I started checking what the other effects look like and soft light is gorgeoussss
It looks quite painterly dw!! 

BUT MY SUMMARY LOOKS TOO EMPTY/PLAIN THO- IDK Y BUT I'M NOT THAT SATISFIED XDD

Yasasasa I wanna post it rn but I'm rushing smth atm so I'll do it after I'm done with editing posters ahaha

The plane ended up being really noisy haha, we got Ice cream at 2 AM xDD I kinda just sketched the body, and then watched some movies and listened to music haha

Overlay is convenient for shading over patterns, you don’t have to change colour each time you shade a different part of it :’D

YOU WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED //Slap Hamilton reference lol At the end of each year, I always think “Okay, next year I’m going to learn how to do backgrounds and actually draw boys.” That’s been happening for a couple of years and I only started this year on drawing (shota) boys and doing actual backgrounds. Imma check my files to see what stuff I have in stock so I can make my summary hhhh

I only really know the most popular ones lol

It’s 2018 now— I remember my teacher got mad at me last year because when we write the date always wrote xx.xx.16 I actually wrote that on some of my artwork too... It takes forever for to adjust to the next year xD

I’m absolutely horrible with backgrounds and still am— when I try draw 3D background they look too flat and 2D xDD

I still haven’t made it ;; I was sick these past days (Why do I have to be sick on new years cri) and my dad gave powdered medicine and it tastes like crap-

Imma make it after I reply to this stack of comments that Ive piled up cause Ive been so inactive c’:

LOL it was december and I still wrote 2016 somehow xDD
I kenot- my brain's terrible with dates xD

I was thinking that maybe I could model my OC's rooms and all in 3D and just sketch over that as a cheat xDDDD

Ahfdhghfgn medicine is the worst- especially the chinese herb ones, they're so spicy smelling jgghdf
Sorry if I chat to much tho! Kinda feel guilty spamming you with stuff to reply to :'D

XD my teacher is like the punctuation police— I think. I would’ve failed the test if she didn’t understand that I was still adjusting lol

XD that is genius— I should try I have time hue hue hue (I don’t think I’m smart enough to model a flipping mansion with a garden etc tho XD) You would be able to get all of them from different angles— When I (attempt to) draw a 3Dish background I like to use some sort of template (The one on IbisPaint lol) it basically is a cube that you can modify to different angles and it can help when you’re drawing a room lol

I had them earlier LOL they weren’t too bad, just really strong?? I think it cause I pored he entire packet in and just a little bit of water because I have a dinky cup xD

hA NO I didn’t mean it like that xDD Chatting with you gives me life aaaaa

I still feel weird that it's already January- I could've sworn it's still March 2017 xD

yea!! I was thinking like, "oo If i model their room, I can draw every angle without missing out anything" and stuff like that! I won't get caught either cuz I traced my own models LOLOL
Ooo I see! A friend of mine taught me smth called a 2-point perspective or whatever so I use that and boi, the amount of erasing I had to do was so overwhelming, I stopped xD

Ikr, it’s like, was that really a year? It felt like a day to me.

It’d be super gr8 to get angles correct too aaa You know those doll things people use to modify the pose and use as a reference? I got an app like that recently and It’s gr88 you can even use it as a reference from different angles. The only problem is that you need to pay to get the female model, which mean I have to pose it and then try to convert the reference into female anatomy LOL which is why my anatomy will still be wonky x,D, although ?the male models I’ll be useful for male anatomy cause I know nothing about it

I’m always told to rub out as I draw, but I tend to forget to because I used to press real hard (I used 2B) so it was hard to see what I needed to rub out and what I needed to keep LOL I use HB for light sketching and use 2B for the neat sketch now xD

I remembered back last year during my orientation, I had to introduce myself to the juniors so I took the mic, stood in front of the hall and confidently said, "Hi, my name's Athirah, I'm fourteen years old." and paused right there cuz everyone was like, EHHHH
And then I started counting my fingers and I shouted, "wAIT, I'M NINETEEN, OH MY GOD I DIDN'T REALISE" 

I'm a wonderful senior XD

Ooo I've seen one of those apps! I had a friend who used it too, but I think there was both male and female figures for free, idk what the name of the program was xD

I usually rub out everything and redraw it again //shot, and it's counterproductive imo cuz I waste a lot of time XD
2B's my only type of lead I use, tbh-- I have a bad habit of pressing hardly on the paper if I'm lining lolol

Yesterday I went to the amusement park, and you had to be over 140cm to go on 90% of the roller coasters, and some of them you had to be over a certain age xD
I think they were suspecting me xDD at one ride I was already at the front of the line when I found out I was underage for the ride by like 4 months.

(I was born on April 27, same as Usui and there was this ask corner where Usui was asked whether he was born in the pervert month and he said yes so Im born in the pervert month xDD)

I was like “Shet how do I get out of this line, I’m already at the front GODDAMMIT” But in China you are already considered 9 months old from the time you are born, so I guess it was okay?


My backup plan was to say I was a short af 14 yr old LOL


I feel like the models arent always 100% anatomically correct cause I’m pretty sure you cant stick your arm through your waist lol

When sketching, I tend to do everything to the finest detail and press heavily but then it never ends up showing //cries LOL I have really crappy erasers and use printing paper so it’s not the best method xD

Its rather hard to use 2B lightly- I tend to use it for the clean sketch and end up pressing too hard without realising it xD

Im scared when lining really small things so I tend to press lightly and the lines always end up shaky xD I thought it was solved when I got a really thin one, but I lost my 0.25 pen lol

I've never been on roller coaster awoaoajfdo- now that I think abt it...whenever I go to a theme park... I-I don't have any memory playing anything ehhh- Was I that boring as a child??

//spit drink
Pervert month XDDD
afndjsgbufi I dont have any anime characters I kno who share the same birthday with me //jealous

Omg really?? I didnt know abt the 9 months thing :0
So when they're born, they're already 9 months?? and in 3 months later, they're a year old?? woaa

I feel that too- that's p much y I don't see the use of those anatomy dolls ppl sell for a lot. I can clearly see in the pic that it can barely bend properly?? But everyone seems to want one so I just keep quiet ahahaha
I wanna try downloading a 3D one one day- making one myself is torture //shot

Modelling the model itself is fine for me- but once you make a model, you gotta make a skeleton for it and bind it together and fix up the skin to make sure it doesnt rip or stretch in weird places aND THAT FIXING UP PART IS TORTURE AAAA

aidgfdng losing a pen is a nightmare for me ;-;
Don't you just hate it when you're sketching and your hands suddenly spazzes out and ruin everything :'D

I've only ever been to amusement parks twice my entire life- I always suppress my screams even though I know I could/it looks/feels like I could die. I never screamed except once---- There was a ride where you're literally 100m in the air, I was sitting at the front seat and I could see everything xD. It was terrifying cause they stop the thing for about 5 seconds so they could take a photo at the top so I'm left staring at the ground and then you go straight down xD

Ikr, I lost it when I read it. I was like 'Usui WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, I'M NOT A PERVERT.' Well, that was during my denial phase mk, I probably can't live without some really good vocaloid producers that make some rather... suggestive stuff. Like dang why are the darkest/dirtiest songs always the catchiest xD . I'm can tolerate 15+ but 18+ isn't my thing (I'm not even allowed to see it xDD)

Ya, but it technically still doesn't count as your official age so it doesn't really matter outside of China so it's not really something I can use to my advantage.

I think it can help with basic poses and angles but other than that, I think that a real live model is better. It's hard to find the correct pose at the right angle though ;;

Omg yes, and then you cry in a corner and wonder why---- I'm terrible at keeping my wrist sill and moving my arm for long lines, it just doesn't work aaa, I had art today, and we were doing scratching with a toothpick over a layer of black paint to make cool patterns- it's fun But my art teacher said "Also, if you're gonna do anime or Naruto on this, don't. It'll take too long.' Idk whether the teacher hated anime or just didn't want us taking too long, but I think I'll be a closet otaku until I find out xD
There's actually an anime club at my school, I don't think I'll join that though because I hear all you do is go on yt and search up how to draw anime and draw it xD

I wanna try rollercoasters one day aaaa it looks fun and stress-building/relieving at the same time... tho idk if I'll scream or not cuz when I get scared, my voice doesn't come out X'D
Oo wait, how old are you, anyway? idk if you mentioned it before, I might've forgot //slapped

nOW THAT YOU MENTION IT
I
WOW I'M 20
OMG I THOUGHT I'M STILL TOO YOUNG TO VIEW 18+ CONTENT-- I FORGOT I'M OVER 18

Ooo that's so cool, my highschool was pretty strict when it comes to drawing... we only had Business/Economics class and Science Stream (physics, boi and chem) so I had to choose either one ;-;
Went with the Science stream cuz I can't rly do business... I'm more interested in learning abt organs, brains and diseases XD

XD That’s true, it can have the opposite effect depending on the person xD Hardly anyone screamed at the one in China, meanwhile in Rainbow’s End at nz screaming is 90% of what you hear, and most of the rides aren’t even that wild ;;

I kinda did indirectly? I mentioned before that I made an account when I was underage (I still am lmao don’t kill me please, just give me another year. When I first made my first account I thought you had to 18+ to make one, I was like a naive 3rd grader lmao so I was like ‘How bad can it be’) Idk how I discovered DA and tbh idk whether it was a good or bad thing?? Ehhh I kinda forgot about that account and created this one cause I wanted to bookmark some art for future reference. I’ll be twelve near the end of April. I’m so shameless haha;;

If you wonder how I’m in junior high at age 11, it’s cause we start school at age 5 lol (I got into ‘year 0’ when I started cause they make you restart a year if something happens, in this case it’s cause I swapped schools)

//Wonders how you will react to actually chatting to a edgy 11 year old for the past couple of months without your knowledge //scared

Well, if my account does get taken down after I click send, I think you’ll know why lol

Ikr, I always forget I could do something now, like how I can bring my iPad to school now cause it’s a BYOD school.

Apparently my art teacher has my brother in his class as well, and he said that my brother always looks at him like he thinks he’s in trouble xDd

Because I got into the extension class I get to take the year 8 science course while all the other year 7 classes get no science lol. We’re doing bio this term, I had to do a bunch of research about cells and photosynthesis the other day ;;

Ikr, I find learning about how the body works and what would happen if all your stomach acid would be taken out and thrown on the floor a lot more interesting//shot

I wonder if after you read this something will change, I’m scared xD

If you’re born between May and December or something you have to start in year 0 (Basically an extra year whereas we already have an extra year added on since we leave school at year 13 so we are all the same age as other kids)

The intermediate at my school isn’t even intermediate? It’s from year 7-10 and is labeled as intermediate but the name of the school is ‘(Insert suburb here) Junior high school’ so idk haha ;; We also use the word year instead of grade probably to differentiate the systems haha

Omg rlly? Idk if I appear that way but it’s probably cause I kept talking about graduation and the fact that my next school wasn’t college so it would basically be high school next xD I remember a friend forgot my age and one day she asked for my age one day and her reaction was like “hOLY are u kidding”

Ehhh don’t feel bad// You’d expect everyone to be at least 13+ here so it’s probably likely that you’d think that xD

I wish it was a prank cos I still need to wait a couple of years to be able to do some stuff I want to do (Like that 13+ ride at the park) Wait she was 21 but said she was 12 xD?? Oml

My class is basically a Harry Potter fan club so when the teacher said that we might be able to organize a school trip to Harry Potter land as a joke everyone was like YES. A couple of days ago we had this thing where you had to bring some items that tells people about yourself and I brought my watercolor sketchbook, my class screamed when they saw it (I showed them something I have yet to post here lol) and I’m just like “PLEASE CHILL, I DONT WANT ATTENTION” Someone suggested we sell my artwork to fund the trip xD

I have low self esteem on my own artwork so I kinda hid in the corner until everything died down xD

Idk much abt Harry Potter or anything adapted from a novel ;;; idk, i just can't get into those things- or maybe because I'm not attracted to anything non-2D //slapped
I wanna sell stuff in expos but I'm shy and I'm backdated from the most recent animus so aaaaa i guess it wont work that well ;;
