This post is because Aki made me update my blog. Yeah, I know I've not been putting things up lately. Even Iman who is more busy than I am blogs even more often than me!
Anyway, yesterday I have no idea why I was such in a drawing frenzy. Frenzy... I guess you can call it that. Lol. I think I can be so obsessed with drawing to the extent that I deprived myself of sleep. I finally went to bed at 2am last night after completing a few drawings (which you can all see throughout this post). I cannot do a drawing and then continue and finish it off the next day. I just have to do it all in one go, because I think that my drawing style won't be the same anymore once I take a break. Lol.

I went through my rough drawing book which I started about 3 years back. I like to look through them and then redraw it again and it's really interesting that I can see the contrast and improvement. At times I laugh at myself thinking: Omg i used to draw like that? Lol. But yeah, I learnt a lot of new things and it's a life lesson that constant practice results in improvement:)
The sketches (of the image above) in the boxes were drawn in 2005 whereas the *better* new and improved shaded ones were done last night.
Farah told me I should create a DevID but I'm too lazy to scan and put them all up and everything. My blog can kinda be like a DevArt page too:) See? I can do both!:D

This is the elf from zimbabwe. You can note the mischievous grin and devious looks. Not because that's what I think. But that's what everyone thinks. Lol. Kidding. The elf itself made this description when it explained why it is called an elf. I say 'it' because I am not yet sure if the elf is of male or female gender. If u look at the drawing, it can be both right? Lol. Of course, the elf is an illusionist. For all we know, it/he/she might not even be an elf. That would be a shock. Owh, I know some people might find it weird that the elf is wearing such wintry clothes especially coming from zimbabwe. But that's because the elf migrated to the US. And why is the elf wearing a hat thing? Because most elves wear hat things. And the reason for blue? I like blue:) Besides, if i choose red, it'll be like a santa elf.
This is the elf's beloved fluffy ball. I drew two versions because the top one is -obviously- a ball and I'm following direct to the description. Fluffy. Ball. Though of course, the elf wrote about the fluffy ball and posted up pictures which made me rethink that OMG it's actually a human child??? *shock shock* So I drew a human child. In fluff. Though he doesn't look so ball-ish. I think he looks absolutely adorable:) Though more adorable in real life.

This is Mira. I drew her because I suddenly thought about her. I'm not so sure why. Lol. I miss her.
Why purple? Because she likes purple:)

Haha, I get the "can't take a break" feeling too, though not necessarily when drawing. (I draw less and less nowadays, how sad.) Sometimes when sewing or making something, or writing a blog entry or ... I dunno, lots of things. You get so engrossed, right? That you'll afraid when you leave it the "thing" will never get finished coz the mood is gone. :P
Great improvement, too! On your style and shading. I can't draw the anime style to save my life (in fact I can barely draw humans unless I have references), but it's awesome to look at.
I think the elf looks male. xDDD Elfff, are you not how-many-percent-masculine anyway? >:D
The fluffy ball is my favourite. ^__^ The actual ball and the humanoid ball.
masyaAllah! that's such an awesome drawing!
i've never ever been good in drawing. i cant even draw a cute smiley face. >_< it's just not my thing
oh by the way. i forgot. it's kak atiqah here =)
OMG Aneesah is alive!!! Ahahaha. Yknow if I put all the comments you wrote in my blog, I can create an "Aneesah mini blog". Because it's like you're writing as part of your blog too! And your comments are awesomely long!:D No worries, your comments are most welcomed! I know there are others who read my blog too but I really like it when people comment:)
THat's right!! THe mood thing. When I was writing my post, I was quite stuck on the word... I couldn't find the appropriate word and I had to settle for "won't be the same once i take a break".
Ahahaha. Yeeeaaahhh I remember the percentage thingy of the elf.
Like you, i really wish i can do CG. I mean, I look at the tools and it seems like there are just too many! Of course to a great artist, that would mean haven in comparison Unlike just having a pencil to draw.
I hope to meet you one day:)
kak atiqah! Yeah, I know it's you, no worries:) hehe. Thanks for your lovely comment^-^

I know, right? 8D I probably have a mini-blog on every person's-blog-that-I-comment-on, muahahaha. >_> Actually I still find it kinda embarrassing, that I type so much, but since you don't mind... ^__^
CG is cool, but there's always that special niceness about using traditional media. Seriously, there's no replacement for real paper, pencil, paints, brushstrokes... Although I have to say digital media is slightly more convenient. x) Hehe.
I'm sure I'll be meeting you one day! In fact I might already have, at one of Adni's event thingies... =P Haha.
Elf~ I was just stating the truth... lalalalala... C=
