Sketchbook 4

I decided that I'd give up on the scanner because I get a clearer picture from my mobile phone camera ಠ_ಠ
Anyway, here's some girl about to paint something. Don't ask me what the jigsaw thing is about, I forget.

Sketchbook 3

Again, a very old page from my book. And the scanner's majorly screwed it over. Since when can it not scan pencil, please?! But anyway, it's basically a sketch dump. I'm gutted you can't see my headless merman properly, he had awesome abs and tail, haha!

My toe feels broken.

And in other news: I start college on Monday. *ARGH APPREHENSION* Luckily it's a short day starting at 10:30am with an hour & half of maths (with Ellis, woo!) and finishing at 1pm after an hour of applied ICT (no, I still don't know what applied means). Hopefully all will be a-okay.

I was going to post another sketch but I'll leave it 'til next time :) Bye.

Sketchbook 2

This is another old picture, I think it's even older than the previous sketchbook page I posted. Trying humans again, this time in a 'cartoony' (or in my case, bad) style. I think this was also just after we'd been using watercolours in school. I liked using them so had a go at colouring at home. This picture has so many faults, and I'm not even sure I ever finished it.
Also: The scanner is being a biff and is deciding to make everything look incredibly washed out and, in some cases, non-existant.

Just got back from getting my GCSE results and it's good news!!
I got two A*s (Maths & English Lit), two A's (English Lang and French (wtf!)) and four B's (Art (so made up after all the hours I spent on it), Biology, Chemistry and Physics)!!
And in my BTEC's I got a Distinction in Business and Maths and a Pass in Travel and Tourism :)
I think I also have a B in Geography and a C in Statistics that should be there, but because I did them last year and the year before they might be in my Record of Achievement... which has gone missing lol! They better find it or so help them! :P

Everyone else I spoke to did well too. I didn't see anyone who didn't have enough grades to do what they want to do next year, so it's all good! :D

Two A*s though... 0_0 I'm so surprised!

We're going to Pizza Hut later to celebrate, I should really start asking round what time we're going :/

Well done everyone!

Sketch 1

Hello and welcome to the beginning of my sketch blog! From now on, I'll start uploading random sketches to here (because that's all my drawings are these days: sketches).
So... enjoy, I guess!

I don't know when I drew this. Quite a while ago I think. Sometime last year. Despite it being pretty stupid, I'm actually pretty proud of that guy at the top. He's actually got a pose and creases in his clothes... cape... whatever. Trying to improve on humans is so frustratingly hard.
Click it for a closer look (if you really want to xD).

I think I'm getting used to the hair now. Still a bit unsure but I'm over the 'freak out' I had yesterday when I realised my hair had actually changed colour xD

Anywho, going to town tomorrow with the friends. Haven't seen Steph in aeons (I don't know if that's a word, or just the summons on FFX, but whatever - it sounds interesting) and it's always good to see the others. I went to town today actually with mum, looking for some shoes and other stuff. I got a pair of bright pink Converse-like pumps from Barratts for £12. But seriously, they are dead ringers for Converse! The only way you know they're fakes is because they don't have 'All Star' on them, they're just blank.

I'm getting a bit obsessed with some Metallica songs. Specifically: Sad But True, The Memory Remains and Fuel. It's all Guitar Hero's fault!! ...But they are some proper tunes right there! :D

Bye.

18th August 2009

I just dyed my hair 'Mahogany' expecting to get a slight hint of red to my brown hair. It turned out weird! It's a dodgy reddy-brown colour now and, I don't know, it doesn't go with my skin colour or something xD It just looks weird.
Don't get me wrong, it's not TERRIBLE, but I just feel a bit "Euuurr" about it. I don't know whether I should be saying "Oh no!" or not xD

Ah well, I was kind of adventurous for once in my life. And at least it's semi-permanent. So if need be I could just get two showers a day to wash it out quickly!
...To be honest, now that it's drying it doesn't look too different to what it used to be. Still a bit dodgy though!

I knew I should have gone with 'Chocolate'.
