I can draw dynamic, well-proportioned figures, even just in rough sketch form whenever I teach on the whiteboard. But when it comes to drawing those same figures on regular-sized paper, it takes fucking longer and I can't repeat the correctness of what I drew on the board.

That just sucks.

Sorry for the rant, 'm just pissed that it takes me much fucking longer to draw on paper what takes me like a minute or two to draw on whiteboard.

Fuck that.

yep.

It happened last Wednesday. I once again rode in the same jeep with this beautiful stranger who i rode with twice before.This time she sat across me. Or rather, I sat across her, on purpose. Funny thing. When I was on my way to the jeepney station, I was wishing I'd see her again. Lo and behold- I was queued up- and she was a couple of people in front of me. As usual, she was with her mom (or aunt, or naighbor, I dunno).

She's got a really cute smile. I wonder if she noticed me. Hell, I wonder if she remembers my face. Maybe not. You don't really bother remembering uninteresting people, anyway. IF she does remember me, it could be as "the headband wearing fag playing a pink PSP."

When we got down at circle... I noticed... she's actually taller than me by a couple or so inches. Damn.

Maybe she's a member of their varsity. Or a part-time model. Maybe she already has a boyfriend who's taller than she is. Closer to her age, too.

Sucks to be old. O well.

Sigh.

Beautiful stranger...

I worked on a couple of watercolor paintings for an exhibit on the 20th, in Greenhills. Wilson Street. If anyone wants to attend, note me.

Special thanks to for inviting me to join the exhibit.

Yep.

Think about it.

I bet that a lot of the modern day "Moe" artists looked up to Miyazaki when they were younger. Miyazaki's girls, in spite of their strong character, do have the physical appearance of what you could consider cute and "loli".

But they took the cuteness further, focusing more on the physical aspects, made the eyes bigger to give more character *coughbullshitcough*, but in the process, left little space for their brains.

It's like how many superhero artists of today were influenced by 50's artists such as Frazetta, Wood, Hogarth. They buffed up the guys a bit more, gave them tinier heads. Superheroines grew silicon implants and removed a few ribs.

I guess the more an artist "beautifies" the physical aspect of his character work, the more it begins to lack depth. On the other hand, if he were to try and balance out his character's beauty by making his character perfect concept-wise, he ends up with a Mary Sue.

You should never aim for perfection.

I guess.

Hahaha

This morning while I was commuting, I sat beside this really pretty girl on the jeepney. This was the second time I saw her, second time I rode in the same jeep as her.

The first time 'round, a couple of weeks back, I sat across her. I couldn't help myself from taking glances at her every so often. Her face is like Tekken's Asuka with a slightly squarer lay-out and thicker eyebrows. But the eyes! The cattish, upturned strong-type eyes! Her hair was cut short, slightly below chin level with side swept bangs. She had a beautiful profile as well.

It's a face I could never forget.

When I sat beside her this morning I noticed she was rather leggy for a Filipina. Her knees almost reached up to mine. Her build was kinda like Soul Calibur's Cassandra, but maybe a cupsize smaller. Long legs and arms that were well-filled out, not skinny, not too thick, just right, medium built but lengthy.

When we got down at Circle... I couldn't tell if she was my height, slightly shorter or taller. But she is tall for a south-east Asian girl.

O well.
There she goes. And like the last time she was commuting with I dunno, her mom? Aunt?

She looks like a college student.

Damn, I think I can just draw her face.

It's not that hard to forget.



Wonder if I'll see her again.

I wonder if I can finish a small scale watercolor painting (12 x 12 max) by Wednesday. If not, I guess this will be another exhibit chance to be forfeited. Besides the slight discomfort when drawing on watercolor paper (rough grain makes for more messy pencils), my full time job (yes, right now, I'm even at school teaching, but hell, Sunday class pays more) I can't think of anything decent to create, even if it is an open-theme exhibit. My brain seems dead, I feel like drawing standing poses lately and it sucks. I need something dynamic, but, it hasn't come yet.

Give me a vision, o muses.
