10.01.15 #1 of sporadic college inktober Yesterday I was dressed really cutely in a sweater & jeans & even had my hair done but then had to go to lab & looked like a giant mess I cry. Wearing goggles over glasses is literally the worst.

REALLY MESSY THING...i colored directly under/over the sketch bc i hate lineart...ver 1 & 2 - quick lazy cell shade demo vs more in depth painting over (which i only did the hair bc it’s so time consuming...)

ALSO it prob doesnt look like it but i loosely based it off hani from exid!! hani is gorgeous but i might draw solji next bc i like her better haha. also imo up & down is good but they’ve had better. i really like every night from 2012 or thrilling from their ah yeah album!

im maybe thinking of opening a couple quick commission slots to ease the pain of buying textbooks/lab supplies this school term so drop me an ask/tweet @arcanakanata_ if you might be interested!! they’ll probably be pretty cheap ($5~$7 for full clean cell shade color/paint headshot).

08.27.15 // parks & rec is always my fav tv show and damn does it have good sayings.

08.03.15 Hiked a trail and stopped for a very brief sketch. I need to buy better pens ˊ_>ˋ the one I was using was almost dried out so I spent more time wrangling with it than actually sketching.

[eluphante]

08.02.15 Didn't have too much to do today so I drew some more. Trying to get back into art & shit is hard when you're not at the level you wish you were :( Inspirations today: Park Shin Hye, Shishio from Hirunaka no Ryuusei, some random desk I saw on tumblr, and Troublemaker (which I fucked up because the pen I was using was so thick ugh). Shishio's bodily proportions are scaring me now that I look at it in hindsight. Guess I ought to do more male anatomy studies. I LOVE TROUBLEMAKER THOUGH. they definitely do have a very risqué concept but their music is quite catchy and their dance is on point haha. HyunA's hair is to die for.

08.01.15 It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn something that wasn’t in the margins of my class notes. So I doodled a little bit today. And fuck, am I rusty LOL some of the things I drew today are a little terrifying but progress I guess I can’t go to KCON to see my queen hyolyn so I’ll just draw her going there instead I guess ;_;

[eluphante]
