The pencil strikes back..

Helllo again my lovelies!
Firstly thank you to the ones that actually email me your thoughts about my banter because you don't have an account and you wish for me to reply and etc, aha, I love hearing them, I promise =D. It makes me happy knowing you guys take the time to read my posts =)

So...thoughts on the new header I've posted up has been mostly positive..so kudos to you guys. Though some of you have noted that the colours are a little concentrated.
Now the problem stems from the fact that my dumb laptop has a strange default setting on the monitor that makes the colours more dull than they actually appear..so hence when I colour in photoshop...the resulting colour is different than what I assume them to be.

QUESTION: how does one calibrate their monitor???? If you could help me, I'd be so grateful guys!

Now onwards. =D
I've actually been so lazy these past few days/weeks, that time has gone by so quickly! I've only got 3 proper weeks until the start of those damn exams and lord help me, my brain has not accepted this information! I've once again left revision to the last minute and I'm still finding every opportunity to stop staring at my textbook and start drawing.

I actually did a self portrait a few days back..and lol, it doesn't even look like me...mmm I see a vague resemblance..but the overall portrait...no where near what I potentially look like. aha. It doesn't help that I drew it with webcam on...everytime I looked up the original image moved..haha. and now one questions why I didn't just take a snapshot. God...ask my stupidity.

Here's the result anyways...:

mm...the face isn't wide enough...and lol...I definitely mucked up the eyes. sigh.

BUT.  Onto a happier note.

I did a quick sketch of Ariel after listening to "Part of your world- Reprise", and it actually turned out quite well....spent about 10 minutes on it...but mm I'm pretty happy =D

lookie LOOOKIE:

I need to work on tonal work with the pencil..but otherwise..I'm pretty happy.
Anyways dudes, I've definitely gotta get some snooze or I'll never wake up tomorrow.
Love you all as always.
