5 weeks left of summer, and i truly am counting down the days until i can go back to oregon and all my terrific friends there. not to mention the parents often drive me crazy!

anyway, i'm in the second week of classes now, and i'm actually really happy with my courses this semester. i'm taking french, women and gender in medieval europe, philosophy, and an art history class on da vinci. as of now, french is probably my least favorite simply because it's not that interesting. i mean, i like the language, and plan on becoming fluent, but comparatively, it's just not exciting. in contrast, my women and gender and philosophy classes are both fascinating, and in my art history class i'm finally learning to appreciate the art of that time period.

last semester i attempted, unsuccessfully, to start swimming on a regular basis, and this semester i think i've finally done that. i didn't realize how much i missed swimming, and now that i've gotten into a routine of going, it will be easier for me to continue.

on another note, i've been thinking about selling some of my art. everything i've finished is in my gallery here. if anyone's interested, just send me a note. i've found that i'm not as attached to as many things as i used to be. so it's just taking up space!

i hope everyone has made it through 2007 alright and in one piece and is looking forward to the start of a new year

i can't believe i've completed a semester of college now- it still seems weird to me that i'm no longer in high school, have moved to a new state, and have a completely different life. the last few months have been scary, exciting, and awesome, and i'm really loving college.
surprisingly, i've still had lots of free time and have been continuing my drawings. of course there's never enough time for all the ideas i've got so many things i want to do- the hard part is picking which will come next! also on the agenda are a new i.d. and avatar, which i know i am in desperate need of- soon to come!

right now i'm enjoying the last few days of my winter break before the spring semester starts and i'm back in rainy oregon. trying to fit in as many people as possible, and it just seems like there's all these little chores that are piling up! i'm trying not to think about everything i still need to do and staying relaxed.

despite returning to classes and homework, i am looking forward to going back to school. i think this is a sign that i am fully adjusted and truly enjoying myself, probably more than i'd imagined. now i don't know how i'll make it through an entire summer at home, without people constantly around and rooms to wander into at 3am!

it's been way too long since i've done a journal entry- even if no one reads them! lol
well, part of this is because i've just graduated high school and moved to oregon to start college at willamette university. and also i've just been lazy!
so, lots has been going on with adjusting to college life. it's good so far, but there've been hard times, too, and more to come! it's difficult being so far away from friends and family, but i'm enjoying being more independent. i love my classes and got really lucky with my schedule (no getting up for 8:00 class!).
umm... in the art department i did absolutely nothing during summer! but i am starting to draw a bit more now. i just finished a quick portrait- smell the roses- and am going to start another, more classic, looking drawing. unfortunately, i think i left my sepia-colored pencil at home, so i'm waiting till i can get a new one.
i'm finally caught up on all the deviations and journal entries, and i can't believe how many new deviants i'm finding to love- it's great. thanks so much everyone for sharing your amazing work.

i can't believe my last journal entry was in september! well, this year's been kinda crazy- i'm graduating high school in less than two months, so i've been really busy with college stuff and keeping up in all my AP classes! plus, i've got my last swim meet ever coming up followed by league finals, so practice is keeping me tired as well!

anyway, i've finally gotten around to submitting some stuff, though i'm not sure what'll be up next. i'm kinda in between projects right now, deciding what to work on next...

i'm slowly working my way through deviations and jounals, and i'll try to write more soon and keep updated!

i have to have a theme to work on for my art class this year, so i'll be doing the seven deadly sins and their contrasting virtues. i'm not working on them in any particular order, and there will probably be some other stuff submitted in between them. so far i've completed one (envy), and i'm almost done with zeal (the virtue for sloth). i'm having some trouble with the face in this one, so that's all i have left, but hopefully it'll be done by tomorrow. i haven't decided which to work on next...
anyway, hope everyone's doing alright! sorry i haven't been commenting, i've just been letting all my messages build up lately.

just got back from a 3 week trip to australia, which is the reason i haven't been on much for a long time. though i haven't drawn much, i did do some sketches in between traveling. i'll put those up later just for a quick peak and then move them to scraps.
anyway, australia was great! did a lot of really cool stuff and made lots of new friends. the best thing was scuba diving on the barrier reef- gorgeous! i'm getting my pictures tomorrow, hopefully, so i'll try to put some up in the next few days. i'm not going to detail everything i did, since it's probably a waste of time (does anyone read journals?)
hope everyone's having a good summer- i can't believe it's gone so fast! only a few weeks left! i still have lots of summer work to do. but i'm going camping on the 13th, so that should be fun...
well, i need sleep, so bye! i think i'm still catching up on the 17 hour time diff, or maybe it's just me being lazy!

i've only got 3 more half-days of school, and 4 finals, then summer's here! *dance* i'm mostly just worried about my math and physics finals, but hopefully they'll go ok. then i have drawing and french, but those are easy-breezy.

i finally have all my artwork back, so i have a couple of things to submit. i think it'll be easy to see that i have definitely improved this year, with drawing anyway. i've discovered that i really love charcoal, and i tried some chalk pastels, which i could get into. still not too fond of painting, however.

my art teacher told me about a silent auction being held next fall that i could put some of my work in, so i'm excited about that. i'll have the summer to create some new stuff, since there's only about one thing i might want to put in right now.

well, i'm off to submit my new artworks. hopefully the picture quality is ok- i had to take digital pics since they're too big for my scanner. i'm not great with cameras, so

i can't believe i haven't written a journal or submitted any work for such a long time! with the new year i have become so much busier! it's time for me to start thinking about my SAT and AP tests, classes i want/need to take next year, and colleges i want to apply for. plus, i've just started on the school swim team for my second year- only because i need one more semester of p.e. credits!

this coming week i have winter break, and my mom and i are driving up to oregon to check out a college that i've become really interested in. i'm really excited, and i hope that it's as good as it sounds. although i'm not looking forward to the weather up there!

now, for an art update. i'm working on an assignment right now that is a recreation of a renaissance image, in charcoal. i always thought that i hated renaissance art until i actually spent more time looking at it. this is my first time working with charcoal, and the drawing is fairly large, but i think it's going really well and can't wait to see how it looks finished.

i hope everyone had a nice valentine's day

i barely finished my card for the holiday card project in time for the deadline. i started way too late, so it's not exactly what i had in mind. but oh well, at least i got it done in time, and it doesn't look too bad.

has anyone heard about the new musical Lestat, based on Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles? i heard about it on accident and found out that it's going to be in San Francisco, which is about an hour away from me, before going to Broadway. so as a christmas present, my parents bought tickets and i'm going to see it on the 28th of this month. i'm soo excited!

i finshed the johnny depp portrait i was working on, and my friend really liked it. i'm going to submit 2 versions- one with the border and one without.

if you're off school, hope you're enjoying your time off, and if not, hope you're at least enjoying the holiday season!

sorry to any watchers who recieved some of my already-submitted drawings! i had added a little bit to them.
i'm done drawing all my self portraits and have submitted the third one along with a quick painting from a while ago.
i've started drawing my final picasso-inspired self-portrait for my latest art assignment, and it's actually going pretty well. i'll start painting next week, but it'll probably be a while before i submit the finished piece. i'm hoping it turns out ok...
i also have another painting to submit, but i've got to drag out my digital camera because it's too big for my scanner, so i'm hoping to get that up this weekend.

oh, and i'm working on a graphite portrait of johny depp for a friend. it's going ok, but it probably won't be done for a while. i've just been working on it in between classes and not rushing.

that's about it for now s ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/6821280/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/6821280/ Thu, 20 Oct 2005 17:39:58 PDT i've been neglecting my account for so long, i can't remember the last time i was on! i'm trying to make a dent in my messages, but it might take a while. i feel like i've been at it for a while, but i still have over 200 deviations to go through!

i haven't been working on a whole lot lately- just a single painting in my art class, which i'm almost done with. i don't think i'll get to post it for a while though as i have to turn it in straight after i'm finished.

school's been keeping me pretty busy, but my classes are going well. all except physics, which hasn't gotten any better. i get tomorrow off though, so i have a 3-day weekend!

i'm really excited about the holiday card project, and i'd like to start soon. this year i hope to do more than just the one, like last year. i love the concept, and who can pass up a free month's subscription?! i'm wishing for a subscription for christmas this year (already been hinting parents ), but if i don't get one, i'll treat myself i think.

oh, and i've been accepted to a student ambassador program where i will travel with a group of students to Australia over the summer. i'm really excited! at first i was a little disappointed that we weren't going to a European country- they went to france and italy last year- because it's a dream of mine to explore Europe, especially France. but once i saw all the activites and opportunities in Australia, i was sure that i'll have a great time seeing something completely new and different.

well, that's the big news! that's it for now, and i apologize for disappearing for so long! ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/6567810/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/6567810/ Wed, 21 Sep 2005 21:03:03 PDT
school has been really busy, but it's been going alright. i hate my physics class- it's soo incredibly boring!- but i love my art class, so it kinda balances out. i just finished my first painting in months, but i forgot to scan it before i turned it in, and i'm not sure when i'll get it back. but i'm getting ready to start on my next art project- a surreal painting. i've never really done surrealism before, at least not intentionally- and i'm really looking forward to it. i've got a few ideas but haven't really decided on one, yet.

i have a bunch of messages to go through, but i won't be able to today. hopefully this week i can get caught up. i can't wait till our next 3 day weekend- not till the end of october!

i'm sure i've forgotten tons of stuff i was going to write, but that's it for now. ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/6094534/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/6094534/ Sun, 31 Jul 2005 22:01:00 PDT

it's been many many weeks since i've drawn, updated, or even come on to DA!

so far i've been having a very busy summer, starting with a short camping trip, a road trip to Las Vegas, and a 2 week vacation in Hawaii! so, i have lots of pictures to put up and even some old drawings from the end of school. i'll try to get everything scanned and added this week!

i can't believe there's only got a month before school starts up again! and i still have loads of summer work to do

]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/5248933/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/5248933/ Mon, 02 May 2005 16:44:28 PDT

i've got at least two new pictures- one drawing and one painting- to submit, sometime this week... should i start putting copywrights on my art? i know that DA's changed it's policy somewhat, though i haven't read the new terms yet.

only 6 more weeks of school, i'm ready for summer! i've got an AP exam tomorrow but after it's over i'll be soo relieved!

i can't think of anything else to add right now so off to study...

oh, i'm looking for a reference of a dancing ballerina, so if anyone knows of a stock account with something like this, please let me know! ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/4743108/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/4743108/ Sun, 06 Mar 2005 13:07:33 PST

sorry it's been such a long time since i've updated, or even been on here!
i've finally submitted something new, another portrait, so please take a looksie! i'm not working on anything right now, but i am going to do a portrait of marilyn monroe, which needs to be done by april. depending on how much time i have i may do something fantasy, since i've only been doing portraits lately.
i've got bunches of deviations and journals to go through, so you may be getting comments from me on 3 week-old submissions!

that's about it for now... if anyone's thinking about seeing it, constantine is really good!

although i've got a huge (and growing) 'to draw' list, i've only submitted one new picture recently. sorry everything's just been so busy and not getting better. mostly i've just got portraits to do for birthdays and such- usher, marilyn monroe, and one other that i haven't been told. in addition, i'd really like to create an entry for NibbleKat's contest...

anyway, i'm in the middle of writing an essay for history- due tomorrow, so i'm going to end this entry for now. will add some more later s ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/4344969/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/4344969/ Mon, 17 Jan 2005 17:00:26 PST

i finished the elvis portrait a week ago and i've also got a phantom of the opera drawing to post (almost finished coloring). but i've got to hook up my scanner to my mom's computer since mine isn't working, and i just haven't gotten around to it yet.

it's been a nice 3 day weekend though, despite the busy-ness. i saw the movie white noise yesterday. it was much scarier than i expected, which i enjoyed, but over-all i was disappointed with the movie. if it's something you're interested in, definitely fo see it, but otherwise, i'd say pass. i probably wouldn't watch it again...

anyway, i've got to get going on homework. hopefully i'll have those drawings up one day this week. and i know i've got tons of journals and deviations to look at, so don't mind me if my comments are a little late.

i survived my first day back to school since break. it was kind of nice to see friends again, and i didn't vene get much homework, but it still sucks getting up early! not to mention i just found out that my finals will be in less than 3 weeks. i'm dreading history!
i haven't started the portrait of elvis for my friend yet, so that will be coming up soon, hopefully... i'm also thinking of doing something for my parents' anniversary (not till february), but i haven't decided what yet.

does anyone know if there is such a thing as a sealer for graphite drawings? something to prevent smudging once it's finished?

if anyone's interested, Meet the Fockers was hilarious, and definitely a must-see. i thought it was better than the first.
also, has anyone seen the new Phantom of the Opera movie? i'm hoping to go this weekend. i'll probably be singing along to the songs in the theatre ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/4135591/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/4135591/ Thu, 23 Dec 2004 11:25:08 PST hehe
i am soo enjoying break, i've been sleeping in every day, watching tv...
i've got quite a few new drawings up. i've kind of gotten into doing portraits and haven't been doing much fantasy lately. should i switch back, maybe do another fairy, or stick to portraits? one of my friends wants me to do one of elvis, so i'll probably be working on that during the next couple days...
hope everyone has a wonderful christmas, or any other holiday you might celebrate!

also, i've finally finished a portrait that i've been working on for the last 3 weeks in art class! my art teacher is going to mat it for me and use it in an art show, so i'm not sure when i'll be able to post it since i still need to take a picture (it's too big for my scanner).

saw a preview for The Phantom of the Opera movie! i am sooo excited!!! i love The Phantom of the Opera, but don't like the old black and white movie, so this is going to be great! now i don't have to wait to go see it at a theatre (which probably won't happen again for a few more years!). it's coming out december 22nd, i think i'll have to mark my calendar! lol

4-day weekend coming up next week, yay! hopefully i'll fit in some drawing time. at the moment i'm still working on a drawing of christine and the phantom from the phantom of the opera.

i can start my driving classes in 9 more days. yay! i'm excited but nervous too. but it'll be fun, and so neat when i can finally drive myself places! ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3745864/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3745864/ Wed, 03 Nov 2004 17:19:22 PST
ooh, but i'm working on a new pic in my art class. we're using the graphing technique to enlarge things (is there a name for it?). so i'm doing this adorable photo of a little boy. it's actually turning out pretty well- it won't be finished for at least a week though, probably. but there'll be full shading and everything i have no idea when/how i'll scan it though, it's much larger than my normal drawings.

tomorrow brian froud's going to be at a barnes and noble not far from where i live, so i'm going to try really hard to go see him. he's discussing his new book and signing.

so, that's about it... ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3622493/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3622493/ Mon, 18 Oct 2004 20:21:34 PDT
i'm hoping to try them out soon, but in order to do that, i would actually have to draw something! i've got a drawing due for my art class next week though, so i'll use them for that for sure.

and i finally submitted something new- take a look i've got tons of ideas, as usual, for drawings, still haven't had time to work on many of them though. i think i've still got about 4 unfinished drawings as well... i'm going to try to finish at least 1 this week!

i'm just getting over a cold, which has been a pain. at least it wasn't bad enough to make me miss school. normally i'd be glad for the excuse, but i can't stand make-up work and falling behind!

i'm sorry i have nothing new to submit, though i will try to work on something this weekend. it's awful that i haven't drawn anything for weeks- art class doesn't really count... i'm starting to get use to this crazy school schedule and work though, so hopefully i will be able to find some more free time.
i've got quite a few ideas for drawings, just not the time to do them! someday...

i haven't been drawing hardly at all lately, i just haven't had time. so much school work. but it's a 3-day weekend, so i get a nice break (of course it wouldn't be complete without homework though!). i'll try and do a little drawing soon. i've got a pic due next friday in art class, so that'll force me to do at least one thing!

my art teacher doesn't seem too great, which really sucks since that was the class i was most looking forward to. but whatever i finish in there, i'll try to post here as well (the good stuff only, of course!)...

oh, thanks for the 400 hits everyone! ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3188782/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3188782/ Mon, 23 Aug 2004 10:12:50 PDT

still haven't finished my gryphon drawing, but it's getting there, slowly. i have started the fairy i mentioned in my last entry. the outline is done (turned out very well), but i need to do the rest of the pic.

fortunately, as slow as my present drawings are going,
i actually will be taking art this year. i had thought i wouldn't be (was taking a different class- to get requirements out of the way, but they gave me art instead), but i am! it's a drawing/painting class, and the teacher's supposed to be pretty good, so i'm excited to start that. plus, my best friend will be in the class as well ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3112470/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3112470/ Thu, 12 Aug 2004 23:42:57 PDT so, here it is...

i have yet to finish the background on my mermaid drawing, which i started over 2 weeks ago! i'd like to get it done, but i just haven't felt like it for some reason. at this point, i'm going to continue working on new drawings and come back to the mermaids when i'm more into it. *sigh* backgrounds just aren't my thing- i'll have to work on that.

i've just started a sketch of a gryphon, which is almost complete. i just need to finish the front legs, which should be simple enough. i hope to *try* to color this once the sketch is finished, but i'm not sure how that will work out, as it is pretty detailed. who knows, maybe i'll try my hand at colored pencils again...

let's see... *thinks* oh, i do have plans for 2 other drawings, which i think will be very good. at least, the idea of them is good, we'll see how they turn out! one will be featuring a fairy atop one of my favorite structures in the world (i won't tell, don't want to ruin the whole thing! hehe), and the other, 2 of my favorite characters of all time- which i doubt any of you will guess! i'd also like to do a nice pegasus drawing, since i don't really have one that i like. but this is farther down the list, and probably won't be started for quite a while.

i'll be going back to school in less than 2 weeks, so when that happens, i know i won't be able to draw much. i have a feeling this will be an extremely busy school year. but, i will try my best to get done what i can before then, and hope to continue submitting things throughout the year, seldom as that may be...

also, i'm going camping starting sunday for a couple days, so i won't be on at all during that time.

ok, so, i think you're all caught up now! sorry for the gigantic entry! s to everyone that was able to get to the end of this! lol ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3059315/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3059315/ Fri, 06 Aug 2004 16:47:43 PDT i have finally finished a drawing! yay! i'm scanning it now, so it should be up soon. i'm pleased with the results, but i'm not sure what i'm going to do with the background. i think i'll submit it w/ a plain white one, then play around with red, black, just some colors. ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3005391/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/3005391/ Fri, 30 Jul 2004 18:18:05 PDT [link]
if you like, spare a vote!

also, i have added a wip to my scraps. take a looksie! ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2989126/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2989126/ Wed, 28 Jul 2004 15:11:15 PDT
and, i've submitted 2 new scraps, 1 of them a wip, for you all to take a peek at.
i think i'll also be adding some of my older drawings, but i'm a little scared, they're not exactly masterpieces. hmm, when has anything of mine ever been a masterpiece, though? lol ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2921543/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2921543/ Mon, 19 Jul 2004 19:45:21 PDT like i said, i started a mermaid drawing, which i just need to do the background on. i just need to get started and finish it. i've also started a picture of a woman, with some sort of wings. i haven't decided what kind yet- angel, dragon, fairy... it's going well, but again, i just need to start working on it again.
also, although my pretty moehog bc pic is done, i haven't been able to get it accepted. i'm actually in texas now, so i don't have access to any of my programs on my computer. when i get home i will try to fix whatever they think is wrong with it (once i figure out what that is) and enter it again.
anyway, i think that's all for now! s to everyone ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2859778/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2859778/ Sun, 11 Jul 2004 21:58:40 PDT hehe
i'd be glad for some comments/suggestions, if there's any major things wrong...
]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2853038/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2853038/ Sun, 11 Jul 2004 00:41:30 PDT obviously i'm back from my trip, it was fun, very relaxing. now i'm desperately trying to get some things done so i'll have something to submit, since it's been a while. i'm almost done with one thing, but i just haven't been in the right move to finish it, even though there's probably less than an hour of work to do!
and i did start my mermaid drawing, it's turning out nicely. i basically just need to do some sort of a background, i haven't really decided what to do though, yet. i think i'll look at a few pictures of sunsets, things like that to get some ideas... anyway, i hope to have something to put up soon!
good night! before i fall asleep on my keyboard (that'd make an interesting indentation on my forehead in the morning, lol) ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2763232/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2763232/ Tue, 29 Jun 2004 11:53:16 PDT i'm going on vacation for a week, so i'll be back next wednesday. i hope to get a few pics done, so maybe when i get back i'll have some new stuff to post. (but no promises! hehe)
i may or may not have access to a computer, not sure...
anyway, if i can't get on, toodles! see you all next week ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2735513/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2735513/ Fri, 25 Jun 2004 17:39:00 PDT anyway, currently working on a beauty contest entry for neopets... done drawing, now i have to color. cross your fingers for me! hehe
i'd also like to start a mermaid pic, since i'm not satisfied with the one i have posted now. i think that wil wait though, also. i'm thinking about putting up a mermaid drawing i did last year, but i'm not sure if i will. it's not all that great, but i might. we'll see... ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2726375/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2726375/ Wed, 23 Jun 2004 16:23:20 PDT i'm currently working on another fairy (surprise, surprise) pic, but it's taking longer than i thought, even though it's a fairly small, head/shoulder view. the wings are proving to be difficult to color.
i'd also like to start a drawing of the angel i used for my poem, "Wonder", since so many people seemed to like it. but i don't really like to have more than one project at a time. it'll be next on my list!
anyway, take a look at my scrapbook... and i hope to have that fairy done tonight, so watch for it! ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2715203/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2715203/ Mon, 21 Jun 2004 21:56:32 PDT it's turning out ok, i think. though i may be going overboard on the different blues in the wings.

anyway... i'm extremely bored, again. so i've been on here *a lot*, and i mean a lot, this and neopets...

there are a lot of pics that i'd like to draw, but i need to go get some new pencils and haven't been able to lately. (well, that's my excuse anyway. i think i'm just a little hooked on my new paint shop! hehe, i've been coloring everything, it's quite fun)

so, that's my entry for the day... ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2705447/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2705447/ Sun, 20 Jun 2004 19:36:23 PDT

update: ok, well, i am now calm. i've started over and re-done what i lost and now am almost done. i haven't decided whether to do a background or not, but i'll post it when it's finished. ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2704309/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2704309/ Sun, 20 Jun 2004 13:30:34 PDT
i've downloaded a trial version of paint shop, so i've been playing around with that. i've been thinking about getting some sort of immaging program to color stuff with and have fun with, but i'm not sure what to get. so i'm trying this out, well, trying to figure it out!
it's fun though, once you get the hang of it, which i'm not sure i've done yet! anyway, i'm coloring my 'grey faerie' at the moment. i think it's turning out nice. i'll post when i'm done.
i've got tons of pictures i want to draw, along with summer homework to do. *sigh* so much to do, so little time!

guess i should change my currently busy icon to lazy! ]]> ~bluefairy515 http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2645499/ http://bluefairy515.deviantart.com/journal/2645499/ Sat, 12 Jun 2004 18:20:40 PDT well... so far it's been a boring weekend. finals again on monday, but only 3 more days of school! yay! um... that's all i have to say for now, so i think i'll go draw. lol ]]> ~bluefairy515
