Today I got the drawing bug, so I drew two pictures. The first
came when I heard Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C#- : you know, the one
he always hated because it was so popular. The second came as a result
of iced tea. Now, I don't particularly like iced tea; I only know for
sure that camomile tea isn't bad. It was the thought of iced tea. I have
new fanart for someone... <_<7 >_>7Today's picture is welcome relief from bad drawing. It is of Link fighting the boss of the Water Temple, Morpha. Morpha is a strange orange blob that controls the water. Link looks quite nice. I drew some sketches of poses to help me out, but he looked oddly Japanese in one of them. I wonder why. Anyway, for flaws, I can see that Link's neck is too thick, and it's not really as dramatic as the official art of the exact same situation, but that's why they hire professionals!
I go in a sort of cycle for picture drawing. I draw a picture, and then if it's bad, I hate it for the rest of my life, and if it's somewhere around good, I love it for a couple of hours, and then I look at it again and hate it until a couple years later when I can look back a bit more clearly. This is happening with my most recent art right now, except for one. I wonder if it'll happen with today's drawings.
Uh, not much to say today, except that I'm officially finished two courses just in time and now I need to study for their exams. Hey, I can read "Le Petit Prince" and understand vaguely what's going on! Also "Le Hobbit". I hope to get past Chapter 3 this time. Yesterday I learned what 'en' replaces in a definitive definition. Yay. I am bad at French.
My brother is going nuts about the store Warhammer battle on Sunday and also Four Swords. At first, the fairies called us "little hero eggs", and then we were "heroes", and now we've been called for the first time "Great Heroes". Neat. I think Eric survived again (the icicles certainly did) but today we were all too tired to go outside.
Middle Earth picture tomorrow! Great Hero waits for his sailing orders!
