I'm back and not without a guest.
Well, actually no, it's not a living guest. I don't have many friends, and the few friends still don't know, that I blog here. Still.
As already read in the thread name I'd like to introduce you to something old. An information of mine, that is rather old, but of course still true and going on.
I love drawing.
Be it sketching, drawing humans, sceneries, or objects, coloring stuff, and so forth.
Of course, like the majority of today's drawing generation, the Manga world introduced me to it. Or rather the cartoon world. Since young I've been watching "RTL 2" and other kind of programs, which showed e.g. Lucky Luke, Sailor Moon, Rugrats, The Simpsons, Pokemon, Heidi etc..
I began to draw almost avidly after I watched Sailor Moon. All those characters with those big round sparkling eyes were beautiful, and they did so many heroic things! And it's also animated, wow!
In kindergarten my teachers were already going on about my concentration when drawing pictures, also the result of that concentration - they were by no means masterpieces of art or anything. They were still stick-figures. I still draw them, too. The women's dresses were simple triangles, "stronger" built people had round bodies and thin people had... well, the stick of the stick-figure.
Houses always had a chimney, always had bricks, orange roofs, two squareshaped windows and a brown door. Let's not forget the trees. and the McDonalds-shaped birds.
In elementary school we began drawing with watercolors. Characters weren't the main subject anymore, sceneries or objects were. I still remember drawing an igloo and a sled.
And then - as written above - the "Manga" time came.
I'd love to scan the pictures now, but I'm too lazy to get 'em. Maybe I'll do it sometime later (or never).
The pics were hilariously ugly and just... well, common for 8-year-olds. Or maybe I wasn't that good of a drawer. My friends were of my 8 y/o's opinion though: "It's so beautiful. How did you draw that?"
With time I improved; I drew women more "beautiful" (in Manga terms) and I tried drawing men. Of course it was a disaster again. After I mastered the men-drawing-style I tried drawing a woman again. That was an utter failure.
Nowadays I still draw, it's still not that good, but it's also not as bad as my former drawings. Maybe my opinion will change again next year - who knows.
But long story cut short:
Make your own opinion - I just drew this. This is our guest.
It's not finished yet, and I don't think it'll be finished for a while, but hey - at least there's a sample.
And as you can see, I'm trying to discard my Manga-drawing tendencies and try to draw them as realistically as I can. Doesn't work that good though.
That's for the "old" news.
See ya laterz, alligatorz.
PS: The military doesn't want me because I'm 5 cm too short. That's so unfair, isn't it?
I am surely physically strong enough. I mean, I have to carry ale-benches around at work, use one hand for a tablet full of 0,5l drinks and blah blah blah.
Even the customers who saw me carrying all that stuff were shocked to see, that I could do it.
Oh, and as you probably realized, yeah, I work in a restaurant-bar as a waitress.
PPS: Oh, I actually did finish it. Some minutes later :D
