Description
I love these recycled, brown-paper sketch books. I just wish they werenβt so damn expensive.This is not anyone in particular, but her face is based on a girl in my English class who I do not know the name of. I just had a nice view of her face from where I was sitting.
EDIT I guess she sort of vaguely represents those girls you hated in high school because they were prettier than you and they knew it.

Wow... I hate her... but I still want to date her. Heh heh, the girls that were prettier than you and they knew it? Would you be more happy with a girl that was prettier than you and didn't think so?
This is good. It's true, the paper is nice, and the face is great. The shading looks like it includes make up as well as shadow, which I think is pretty cool. Her ear is great. I am a bit unsettled by the lightness of her eyes, it makes them look a bit dead. Of course, I imagine that you were going for that.

That was a joke about the problem of evil but beautiful girls. Heh, I don't really have a type. I also don't really get attracted to illustrated women. There are a few exceptions, but that is usually because they remind me of something real in my memory. (not that memory is real....)

Yes. Or at least didn't rub it in or was pompus about it.
I hate drawing ears. I stared at my friend's ear for a while to get it right. Hehe, I was, sort of.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I am amused by this whole thing.
She is a bit sinister/undead looking. Although, it takes a while to see that.

Does it? I has hoping the sinister would come across quickly...though maybe not 'undead'. Perhaps it's all the eyeshadow?

She looks like trouble right away, but the pale irises and the eyeshadow(the whole black and white makeup thing in this picture is really cool.) start to look... inhuman. She doesn't look pleasant, and that is instantaneous.
Oh, my story will take a little longer, I wanted to write something new and I have been ill and busy. Couple days though. (and also my childhood game story journal.)

Well, girls like this are often rather inhumane. Maybe that eventually crosses into inhuman?
Considering how long it took me to get Move up, I say take as long as you want.

he he. I wonder...
Well, I want to put some things up soon, I need more images and a few less depressing stories. So I will take as long as I want, but that shouldn't be too long.

Excellent, this story exchange idea is paying off nicely. Good thinking.

I'm surprised at how motivated I have become to write because of this. I might even try NaNoWriMo!

That wold be awesome. It's funny, for some reason I have never even considered that. So far, I have generally only considered writing to be a thing I do, with script and comic writing as the only marketable ... stuff. (poorly thought out sentence) I probably needed it too. I don't know if I would have posted any test yet if not for this little challenge. Challenge? Well, you know what I mean.

I probably would have never posted anyhthing at all if it wasn't for this. I would have just let that story collect internet dust as it developed in my head, never to be typed.

No, it would not have. I still would have been very tempted to try NaNoWriMo, though.

I also had the vague idea that if I wrote a novel, I could pull sections out of it if a class required a story. I sort of already do that anyway.

Good plan, like in college they tell you never to throw out a paper, because you can get by on just two or three if you are clever.

You should, if you don't ever use them again in academia then at least you will be able to trace the trajectory of your learning over the years.

I suppose that would be like looking at the drawings you had done throughout the years. It's almost painful.

I could see that, but people forget things, sometimes it is nice to see how close you were to something you never actually accomplished or mastered. Then you know it is something you can definitely do.
