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....
