This is one of my old anime drawings. When I say old, I refer to it having at least 1 year of age. I drew her last year, and she is part of my pretty dress series. I got to get around to publishing the illustrated book. On the meantime, you have this beautiful drawing to contend with. With normal writing, music is not too bad. Still, I prefer the sound of the air conditioner to write. Most people take their air conditioner for granted. Back in the old country, I was one of the lucky few with an air conditioner. There were days when we just used to sit in bed, and just enjoy the air conditioner. I would also at times only play in that room. I would grab the bed sheets and tie them around myself to form a car. I would then pretend race my brother. It was a lot of fun, all things considered. For most of my life, I always had to share my room. It was only recently that I got my own very room, that I could customize. At first I wanted to paint the walls pink, but then I felt like it was too much of a hassle.

My bedroom has a unique problem. I do not have decent blinders, and my family and I are too lazy to do something about it. We always keep putting it off. We have those blinders that people in movies use to look outside, and be a creep about it. They do not keep out the light, so much as lower the intensity of it. This doesn’t work at certain times of the day. At night, the moon always shines through my window. I can never seem to angle the blinds in a way to keep her out. I call the moon a she, because in Spanish, all the objects have genders. Instead of the moon it would be she moon or he sun. It sounds odd in English, I am certain. Still, it would be hilarious to retire the good old the, and give the he and the she a chance. It certainly would make learning English a tad annoying. I always had an easier time with English, than with Spanish. Even back in the old country, I would always struggle to write in Spanish. The thing that confused me was the little tildes, you know the line put on top of the vowel to make it sound stronger. I was always guessing where to put it, or I would only write using Spanish words that did not have them. If I ever get around to translating my own books to Spanish, you will notice the trend. Then again, this will only related to those who are bilingual.

It would expand on my market. Some people just tend to do better outside their own native tongue. A good example of this trend is good old Nabokov Vladimir. He made his money not in Russia, but in the US. All his better known books, are written in English. Now, where was I? Ah, yes. My bedroom. The moon never leaves me alone. I always have to stack pillows to keep the light of the moon out. In the morning, I have problems with the sun. The morning sun always gets in through my window. It heats up the room a bit. I always end up having to remove more covers. I usually wake up close to noon. It is always an issue getting out of bed. It is like the bedroom gets heavy. This is specially true when you are like super comfortable. You just want to keep on sleeping. Still, one eventually has to bite the bullet and get the hell up from bed. This is easier when I dream about food. Just today, I was waiting in line to get my food in school, but nobody was feeding me. This prompted me to wake up. I bathed and then I finally had my brunch. Needless to say, I was starving.

Scientist folks usually recommend 8 hours of sleep. As of late, I always take an extra two hours. This is some of the joys of having your own little business, and a family who supports your artwork. Once the book thing kicks up, then we will be in the game. It is only a matter of time. Then again, my family doesn’t want me to have a true day job, if it is not necessary. They know how it is out there, and I have always been their dainty little flower. As far as women are concerned, day jobs are terrible. The female coworkers are douches, and then men are even worse. I had a couple of day jobs myself, and it is not an experience that I would recommend. It is better just to try to make it, in a different fashion. Then again, there will always be a demand for all those jobs. This is specially true since Universities in the US are more into keeping people in school, than in having them graduate. I would just cut out all the elective requirements from the curriculum. It is a waste of time, and of money.

Still, Universities are a business. It is what happens when the populous get passive as far as education is concerned. Only fools blindly trust in well established organizations. All in all, Universities were created to muscle the witch doctors out of their money. The whole “it is for public safety” is a bunch of hogwash. Nobody is that altruistic. Everything is a business, and that is just dandy. Find your niche, and bleed that beast. Now, back to my own drawing. You should know the new gambit by now. The paper is from a notebook made by Leda Art supply. The pens are two stabilo mini pens, in addition to one Morris Bamboo pen. I drew the line art portion with my Royal and Langnikel pencil. After adding the pens, I erased the pencil with my pentel eraser. The rest of the colors was added with my Derwent pencil, and a two from my Art 101 set. I hope you find this information useful. If not useful, then at least entertaining.
