Bow to the Mako, muse of muses

Fri Oct 10, 2008, 10:03 PM
Now, Many of you have noticed that as a general rule, there are two things I tend to avoid when drawing something. The first, is easy enough. Glasses. for some reason, though I myself wear them, for the most part I find myself unable to comprehend how to draw them without making them look totally inadequate. Thus, unless I'm completely totalled by a muse who won't be swayed away from them, I won't draw them on a char.

Second, though it's more difficult to tell--I don't like drawing with pencils. The why, is simple. I'm a leftie and that means that my hand is rubbing and wiping all across the image I intend to sketch. Heck, even while using pens, I have this absurd tendency to smear. Now to my other reason for disliking pencils

This is the TECHNICAL reason I try to stay away from pencils. As an artist, I am(at times) also a perfectionist. However, I'm also quite impatient to see results too. A bad combination, I assure you.

Smears and many mistakes made me swap to pens to force myself to adapt, and keep my mistakes.

ANYWAY, getting to the point of this. I haven't drawn in pencil, or glasses for quite some time. My dear friend, Amanda(Also known as teh-mako, mako-chan, boobie-chan, and honeyface) has been feeling a bit down recently, so I thinks to myself: "hey self? why not make mako a picture she can oggle and feel better by looking at?" Of course, being me, I thought it was a great idea and set off to do it.

FOR SOME REASON, the inspiration for this particular piece of sketchery only came when using pencil, and gorrammit the char had glasses too! I started drawing it, all intent on balling it up and starting over and over, when I noticed it wasn't looking half bad. I wasn't smearing it, nor was I particularly fudging up the specs.

I came to this conclusion. Mako-chan is the muse of muses. she managed to get me to do something I had been avoiding, and not muck it up horribly, without even KNOWING about it.

Well, I hope this makes mako-chan as happy as it made me.
