First Attempt....

Ok so this is my first attempt at a Manga dude. Don't laugh! lol. It's quite hard but really interesting. Just learning the basics now so its all circles and ovals. Am dreading getting to the hands, could never draw hands. I always drew people with mittens. When i learn to shade and everything there shall be no stopping me!I shall take over the world mwahahahaha <- evil laugh

Derwent Steampunk Manga

I is nay impressed. I just opened my Steampunk Manga set that I got today. Included in the box is a sketch book, brush, tin of 12 inktense pencils and a CD tutorial. Pencils are lovely and sketchbook is pretty but the CD is crap, tutorial my ass. It shows you how to draw three characters, three!

The three characters are a mechanic, an aristocrat and a lady. There is very little detail. I thought it was gonna be broken down for beginners like me but no, you're thrown in at the deep end. And the fact that its on a CD rather than a book is so offputting. Grr I'm sad. Hopefully the Monster Book of Manga will be a bit more appealing.

Will give it a shot anyways and let you know what happens.

Finally..

At last my Steampunk Manga and Monster Book of Manga have arrived! Yay! Will be kept entertained for a while :)

Monday blues...

The weekend is over. :( Why are Mondays so miserable? On the plus side I have a very busy day ahead, so hopefully it shall go pretty quick. Have to sort out invitations and sort out my course :) Exciting exciting stuff

It's Friday!

No sign of my Manga books yet. I'm very sad. Hopefully they shall arrive Monday. And because they haven't arrived I was tempted into buying lots of facepaint. I'm gonna have an entertaining weekend.  Am so tempted to paint mad crazy designs all over me in neon paint tomorrow nite going out. Ke$ha eat your heart out lol

OOooo Prettiness

Look what I spotted today when out and about. It's so prettiful. I have promised to buy it for myself as a present seeing as the ipods are still out of stock in HMV. I think thats reasonable. Think this Manga thing may be an addiction now. Heehee. I may have also orderd a fairy book, a vampire book, some facepaints, a heart wax seal and other nice things. There goes my wages for the week....

Manga

Ordered this yesterday. Am very very excited. Haven't really done Manga before but heres to trying something new and fun.

Some doodles from the magical and wonderful mind of moi.....



Cheer Demon

An old doodle from when I was a little bit obsessed with One

Tree Hill back in 2006. I've a few more oldies to root out and post. Hopefully they shall not embarass me too much lol.

                                                               



Child Fairy

 

A more up to date doodle. This is a child fairy. I got bored when I was sat at home sick so decided to clean out a drawer and found a book that I forgot I had and got some inspiration from it. I seem to have improved a little. I'd want to have considering I'm working in an art supplies shop lol



Adult Fairy



Another fairy, this one a more mature one. I may be a little bit obsessed lol. Will put up more when I get a chance. Am excited about getting back into my drawing. Working on some fantasy creatures and manga.

For Paul..

Dearest Paul,

You said you are bored of Facebook. Lets start a new craze with Blogger. It looks a lot more funner. Granted its very complicated but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to learn, after all we are still young uns.

I shall promise to keep you entertained if you actually use yours. Come on give it a go!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Your friend,
Nicky

P.S. Yes I did delete my other account. I forgot how to work it so thought best to start from scratch

The Places You Have Come To Fear the Most

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours." Ayn Rand

New!

This is very very complicated. Why can't it be easy to spread joy? lol
