whats your fave anima and/or mangaaa (am i late i just woke up)

ah yes, the big FAT question….

purely judging by how rewatchable they are for me, i’d say it’s between FMAB and Code Geass. there are other shows that are obviously AMAZING but those two are quite up there.

Best manga : D.Gray-man. its the only one i have physical copies of hjkfh

this might seem a bit random but.. where do you draw? like do you have a studio or someplace you know you can get inspired just being there? im asking since im currently struggling with motivating myself to get started on drawing, im not one of those people who can just doodle whenever and wherever they go so i think the lack of a creative environment (like a studio or art class or sth) is a major reason for it, so i was wondering how you feel about it? c:

oh no… i just draw at my desk in my bedroom… or wherever is convenient! i’ve been drawing daily since i was 3 so it’s very habitual for me, i don’t really do the environment change/inspiration thing as much as i should! i find places with good lighting and a lot of nature are really good for me to get inspired, if i do need it – if you have some nice woody parks or a botanical garden within traveling distance? my favourite places to go for drawing from life are actually natural science museums, because NOTHING IS BETTER THAN SKELETONS, except maybe taxidermy, and museums have both those things.

this has been said before, more eloquently than i can, but i think waiting for inspiration/motivation isn’t very effective. discipline is much more useful; just sitting yourself down and doing it, even if it sucks for a while. i’m still working on this front myself, but it’s kind of like exercise; if you just wait til you’re INSPIRED to go jogging, you’ll never get a good routine going, you know? you just have to do it, consistently, even if you have to force yourself some days at the beginning or if you don’t really enjoy it sometimes.

an art class could definitely help, because it will force you to just sit down and draw a lot, which is the best way to get into the habit of drawing a lot! but putting a lot of effort into the pre-game, like setting up a studio space or buying lots of materials, is just procrastination, and better saved for when you’ve already in a good habit of drawing and need to up your studio game. even if you’re just drawing circles on a pad of lined paper with a biro, i really think the physical act of drawing will do more to help you get started on drawing than anything else.

of course, it does depend on if you want to do art as a hobby or a profession, but in any case, preparing to draw is never going to help as much as actually drawing. (that said: if you know you’ll be drawing for a long time, remember to hydrate and do your wrist stretches!)

Honeybees and Laughter for the ask thing c:

1. Honeybees: What is something you have done recently that you are proud of? It can be anything at all, even just waking up every morning.

This one is definitely finishing writing my fic for the daiya no bang 2017. It took me so long, so many tears, so many slumps, so many times feeling like a piece of trash who didn’t have any skills to write at all but in the end i finished it up and got to post it, even with all the flaws on it, with all the mistakes, i’m proud of myself because i didn’t give up. I remember that in the beginning i told my beta reader: i will quit this, i can’t do it and so she told me: won’t you regret it later? and it got me thinking that hell yes, i would have regretted it greatly so in the end i got a hold of myself and did the thing.

2. Laughter: List 5 things that make you happy.

Beaches and Fairy lights c:

Beaches: If you could go anywhere in the world, right this moment, where would you go?

Somewhere colder, probably oregon so I could finally meet my friend. Plus they just got snow so I need me some of that. And I could finally see the ocean~

Fairy lights: If someone wanted to get to know you, what should they read/watch/listen to?

Umm I hardly read anymore but probably edgar allen poe and george orwells works because they’re my brand of dark (also the daiya manga because it makes me so happy and emotional like nothing else)Watch: the artist, one of my favorite movies of all time, and avatar the last airbender because it was such a big part of my childhood and I still love itListen to: lightning strike by snow patrol, pyramid song by radiohead, girl and me!me!me! by daoko, and the entire splinter album by sneaker pimps

kuramochei replied to your post “i just got a flashback of my 8 y/o self accidentally coming across…”

i never watched a ghibli movie fully bc i came across spirited away and some point and that shit kept me up at night

not to sound so uneducated and stupidt but i didn’t know ghibli movies could be so….terrifying and graphic?? when I first watched Princess Mononoke I didn’t know anything about studio ghibli so I thought the movie was rated-R since the blood and gore(?) was too much for little me to handle. so now that i’m older, i’m shook. how do kids like watching bloody tentacles come out of a huge scary animals. creepy…
