I do believe this is the first time that I've worn a skirt since...I was what? I can't even remember the last time I wore a skirt. Good grief, and also I decided to wear this to a Harujuku/Japanese streetstyle lolita event. Hahahha, so many people were in bright neon colors, heavy taffeta and gauze and glitter, then there was I, a la pioneer milk maid in consistent pastel colors and cotton. Ah, I felt so under dressed for the occasion, but I don't think there was much else I could wear that would've made the heat emanating from the mass of people bearable other than shorts. There were a lot of well dressed people! Costumes galore with their best polished shoes put forward. Ah well, what's done is done. Perhaps next time I'll put a little more effort.

School has started and I'm off to an incredibly shaky start with only two math classes. Math classes. Of all things. There are times such as now where I wonder in the point of school, and how seriously I take my own education. Which..isn't very. Psychology is interesting enough and like many other students out there, it will just have to do. Haven't not touched math or glanced over a math problem in two years is posing to be a bit of a challenge. Oops! Ah well.

I'm wary of trying to get into another art class. My skill does always improve each time, but as skill increases in class, I always stop drawing on my own. The exploration stops whenever I step into a classroom. Hmmmm. Decisions, decisions.

Here's a doodle. This past summer, I've managed to familiarize myself with sketching and doodling in my sketchbook once more. I'm going to start a project that I had long ago been flirting with...like..when I was in middle school long ago. Oh well, by now it's already been done by a hugeeee artist, Stanley Lau. Ffft. Better late than never though, eh? It will be stylistic exploration in portraying the same one or two characters. I will attempt to push my own limits, and even emulate other styles I admire, or just find plain contradictory. The one above was a warm-up for color. It also doubles as a huge characterization project, so that I can maintain a sort of consistency. Derp.
