I just discovered that my shading skill have some serious problems (maybe bc I'm new to half-realistic style ╮(╯▽╰)╭), so I decide to check the shade in black-white with various different levels to detect any possible mistake. It works pretty well, except that it's VERY time consuming XD!

But inking and coloring in SAI gives me much pleasure than Photoshop. Geez....

[hychan-art]

I quite like the colors originally done in SAI, but when I opened it in Photoshop, the colors are too bright and too saturated, it hurts >"<... I hate the "color-difference-between-program". I guess I will have my retouch in Photoshop after I finish the whole thing.

Btw, Huy again bc I can never get enough of him :|...

I intended to draw Haruchan, but... I don't know if this looks like him or not. Whatever *back to work*~

I uploaded it to my anime blog this morning. Still I feel the need to put it here too. I just realize that I should use more hard-edge brush and darker color for skin shading :|...

Just in mood. He's a Gemini.

Just a moment of bore and this happened... Umh...

When I have children, I will probably tell them to follow an art activity, or a sport.

Because you'll learn in the very early stage of your life not only the bitterness, the pain, the sorrow, the jealousy coming from your own inadequacy and failure, but all so the sportsmanship, the will, the happiness, the contentment coming from your ability, effort and success.

Those are all valuable experience for a human development, from which you'll learn the lesson of creating happiness for yourself, rather than waiting for someone to make it come true, or indulging in self-created pain and sadness.

Only by keep going and trying, can we know where we can reach.

Only by constantly challenge ourselves, can we know our own limits.

Only by feeling the pain, can we treasure the happiness.

Only by appreciate that we only have one "present", can we live towards the future without regret.

Life is a creation of your own mind. So are happiness and sadness.

You're the creator of your everything.

I hate it whenever I see my tablet. It makes me want to pick the pen up and start drawing, while all I need to do now is FUCKING DO MY TRANSLATING JOB. It's hard when you have all Mercury and Venus and Jupiter at ONE single place in your natal chart. The conflicted urges for writing/reading and drawing kill me every time. And music, I love music to the point I wish I can wear headphones all day without the threat to become deaf at an early age. Whenever I listen to music I want to actually draw or write something but I JUST HAVE TO FUCKING WORK. I hate myself sometimes. For being too demanding. 

Wait I have to write more before I can fully concentrate on my work. I sincerely think that whatever we like, we must invest time and efforts so that it'll bear sweet fruits one day. You can't just running in a circle with your interest without doing ACTUAL anything to make it become something special. Everyday, if you love something, invest 1 out of 24 hours for it. 30 hours a month, 365 hours a year. Does it sound much? Yes it's pretty much. That's the result you get when you become serious with something. If you don't do anything with it, a year will fly by and you haven't grabbed a single thing in your hand - it'll just like sand slipping through your clenched hand and very little remains. We just live once. No matter how many times we reincarnate, things will never be the same again. We will never be the very same person we once born to be. So just DON'T ever let time pass by without doing anything with it. Making gifs or edits, drawing or writing, photographing or modeling, watching movies or blogging, just dedicate your time to it. Store it chronologically, safe and organized. You may grow out of it later, who knows. But your achievement will ever stay. It's OK to let go at times, but your efforts are never worthless. Whenever you look at it again, it will surely warm your heart. It will sail you through depression and angsty in live. That's the ultimate meaning behind all of this.

We just live once, so live it without regret.

The most valuable thing I've learned over this one year, is that if you love something, keep doing it. Every day, every week, every month. It will eventually pays off.

Happy Vietnam Independence Day.

The seed of your next art work lies embedded in the imperfections of your current piece. Such imperfections are your guides–valuable, objective, non-judgmental guides to matters you need to reconsider or develop further.

Sometimes I wanna go on FB or Twitter to check out my friends but seriously sometimes they just piss me off and all I wanna do is block the hell of them out of my sight geez. I guess I'm a lil bit on edge recently and it can't be help I'm getting near the end of August, meaning my deadline to finish 8/10 subjects but no I haven't finish even 7 and gosh I feel so ashamed. I'll try doing my new health schedule tomorrow, hoping that it'd help to lift both my physical condition and my spirit and many other things. I just can't stand the way things are now.

I wanna lose like... 5 kg. Umh yes I am serious.

I'd better get to my work now.

It's 100% easier to draw manga on a paper. Tablet just won't do orz.
