Sketch 64 - hello

My new/old hairstyle. Went back to this style. Wanted something quick tonight but ended spending more time on this then I had planned for. For Those wondering its Purtalic written in katakana (Japanese), then Tamakai in kanji (Japanese), my English name and then my English name in Korean.

Work today was short due to the rain. Spent a good portion of the morning playing fetch with a black Labrador that decided it was gonna be my friend. It also showed me how STUPID people can really be. We have construction ahead signs and detour signs everywhere and they drive up to me "whats going on?" "ummm . . . road construction . . . . need you to turn around and take the detour" like seriously . . . . I get a whole summer of that and "Why are you doing this road? I NEED to get to this place. Its an emergency (like registration at rabbit hill...)" oh well! Pay is great! 22 hours and its the same paycheck I got working 2 weeks at the bingo hall <3

Anyways bed time! Goodnight world. Love ya <3

Sketch 55 - An Angel Among Us

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! So yeah I'm sorry this is an older sketch but its one that most haven't seen. Its the original concept sketch for Nanako in my Pyowaan story. She is a fire angel and unlike her friend Anna who actually starts with the angels, she starts in the desserts and lives among the villages of anthro races until she is reunited with her friends.

So my new job starts tomorrow. I have to get up before 6am uhhg. Oh well the pay is well worth it and getting up that early will hopefully make the day go by faster. I want to give a shout out to a new friend of mine Jake Bailey who has lent me his Japanese copy of Legend of Dragoon game (which ive mentioned in a previous post that I have been wanting to play again!). So cool! Now I don't have to by it and I can refine my Japanese reading abilities while playing. He has also lent me a Japanese PSP game called Monster Hunter Portable, which as he warned me is very addictive! By looking at the back and seeing the graphics for a hand held it looks frikken amazing!

Anyways it is getting late and I need to make my lunch for tomorrow and get to bed. Good night world! Love you <3

Sketch 3 - Vroom Vroom

Hello again! Today's picture was a suggestion from my amazing British partner (or stud muffin lol) Richard who is a complete petrol head. He knows I am not the greatest at mechanical things and straight lines so he challenged me to draw a car and he would try to guess what it was from my drawing. Well he figured it out so it must not be that bad eh? For those not up to your car lingo, I choose this car (Nissan Skyline GTR R-34) because it is my all time favorite and it is in my opinion the best car to come out of Japan. Now please keep in mind that this is MY opinion and not a fact. Please no haters! Another reason I chose this car is because it is the car my friend Takashi (who has been reported deceased from the tsunami) was working on this car for me. Unfortunately I had to sell for financial issues and now deeply regret it. Anyways ... the reference picture I used (with no intention of copyright infringement might I add) is here. In other news I have joined a gym to try and help my self image and confidence. All I feel at the moment is pain haha. My trainer is amazing and I couldn't ask for a better one. Let's keep fighting!

P.S. Seeing as I will need to do a lot of sketches and will probably run out of ideas leave a comment with an idea for me if you so wish! I will happily use all that I can depending what day I feel like working on it!

Donations for Japan ~ $25/$500

Love ya!

Sketch 2 - For Japan

I am sure most of you have heard the news about Japan. So for today's sketch I did something for Japan. This is a hard time for me as well. It has been confirmed that two of my friends and their families are no longer in this world. I will surely miss them and the fun times we had together. I feared for them while watching the news and seeing their town ... all that was standing was the school. So till Easter I will have a donation account on paypal going. If we can raise $500 CAD for Japan I will post a video of me singing a Japanese song. If we exceed that I will make a video of me dressed in costume DANCING and mouthing/singing a Japanese song. So if you really want to see me make a fool of myself spare some change and help save a life or few in Japan. Our hearts are for you!

R.I.P. Takashi and Minagawa-san

To donate I have a button below and to the left. ALL proceeds are going to Japan. I will mark the donations as they come.

$25/$500 so far

Sketch 1 - The first of many

Welcome to my blog!

First I want to thank my friend Mikaela for choosing my title! I love it. Anyways ... HELLO OUT THERE!!! Haha.

The Picture: Well its the first sketch of my first blog so went with drawing myself blogging... Yes i dye my hair green and I have an Alienware mx17 laptop and a WACOM Intuos 3 tablet for those who were wondering.

Why: I started this blog because like a few people I start things with passion and then fail to finish or continue.... maybe I have ADD? So I chose to start doing a sketch a day and blog about it. The theory behind my madness is that if I want to become a tattoo artist and work on a manga I need to be able to draw every day. Plus having to do it everyday forces me into a habit and therefore seeing my comic come back to life. It will also allow others like yourself to give me criticism on my art (good or bad!) so I can improve and log my improvements over the net. I'm hoping to improve my style, gain confidence, reliability and stability in my art.

I will also post stories or events that happen everyday as a life blog so it wont be all art biased. I play video games and listen to j-pop and k-pop ... although im more of a k-pop fan (BigBang FTW). I like anime and fantasy/horror novels. We will keep it kinda short for tonight so until tomorrow, I bid thee farewell!
