I’m thinking of adding a few...
Alien cat :T
So… one month later. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOLFIERI ! hueheuuehe i’m always late for birthday gifts OTL.
Hope you like it, I made...
Miss Laurent is ready for Hazardous’ Oscars. Whether she wins or not you bet your butt she’s gonna look damn good.
Time for bed. Goodnight!
Because EVERYBODY should watch this documentary, “Way beyond weight”.
Believe me, it’s not boring nor speculative. It’s very technical and educational, but meaningful and deep at the same time.
An illustration I made for a Japanese company’s contest but gave up because…. well, hubby and I realized it has nothing to do with the company’s style.
Eu curti, adorei as pinceladas e o efeito de luz, principalmente esses ontinhos de brilho na casca… ficou lindo!! Acho que vc devia fazer mais trabalhos nesse estilo de pintura! :D
Valeu, Sol. Acho meio dificil essas pinturas mais realistas mas realmente foi um bom exercicio! XD
Talvez faca mais mesmo.
After almost a month without even opening photoshop/my sketchbook, I had this urge to draw a ladybug. And that’s what I did… just a 15 minutes “speedpaint” (yeah, I know, 15 minutes is not exactly fast but whatever). Meh… lame
A sketch I felt like coloring but then, in the middle of the process, I got tired/lazy and just gave up. Yep.
After scanning one of my (lame) sketches today, I thought it would be a nice idea to simply scan entire pages of my sketchbook and maybe play a little bit with SAI. After all, I didn’t have much else to do/show/whatever today.
So here it is. It was actually pretty fun and I may even finish that one girl in Mercibeaucoup’s clothes (the black haired one) later. Me likez.
Okay, i swear. This is the last one of the… month! I think.
Just felt like drawing Solfi’s character, Alice, this afternoon. Solfi, ladies and gentlemen, really helped me pass through a terrible art block that was lasting for almost a year with only one single message on Deviantart! So… I really am thankful, Sol. Obrigada de verdade verdadeira! =3
Espero que goste.
Everything (except the colors) was made in the good and old traditional way, line by line… a torture. But i wanted to practice background + inking with dip pen and these new micropens i bought in Japan + the white nankin (which is just somekind of white ink to fix the blacks. Covers perfectly). Okay, that’s it for this week.
Sketch I made back in Tokyo, at Doutor Coffee, while waiting for my husband (but only now felt like scanning it)
This one is Damian, for my awesome friend Renata! :D
Acabei não te respondendo no dA, mas seu apoio fez uma MEGA diferença! Bom te ver te volta! :******
HOW DID I MISS IT???? GAAAAAAH!
Muito obrigada mesmo, Sol. Nao sei como acabei nao vendo esse presente tao fofo. E posso dizer que o mesmo vale para voce. Nossa pequena troca de mensagens no DA me animou bastante. Ainda nao estou desenhando tanto mas ja fiz bastante coisa XDD
Obrigada de verdade. <3
1. The world is trying to keep you stupid. From bank fees to interest rates to miracle diets, people who are not educated are easier to get money from and easier to lead. Educate yourself as much as possible for wealth, independence, and happiness.
2. Do not have faith in institutions to educate you. By the time they build the curriculum, it’s likely that the system is outdated– sometimes utterly broken. You both learn and get respect from people worth getting it from by leading and doing, not by following.
3. Read as much as you can. Learn to speed read with high retention. Emerson Spartz taught me this while I was at a Summit Series event. If he reads 2-3 books a week, you can read one.
4. Connect with everyone, all the time. Be genuine about it. Learn to find something you like in each person, and then speak to that thing.
5. Don’t waste time being shy. Shyness is the belief that your emotions should be the arbitrators of your decision making process when the opposite is actually true.
6. If you feel weird about something during a relationship, that’s usually what you end up breaking up over.
7. Have as much contact as possible with older people. Personally, I met people at Podcamps. My friend Greg, at the age of 13, met his first future employer sitting next to him on a plane. The reason this is so valuable is because people your age don’t usually have the decision-making ability to help you very much. Also they know almost everything you will learn later, so ask them.
8. Find people that are cooler than you and hang out with them too. This and the corollary are both important: “don’t attempt to be average inside your group. Continuously attempt to be cooler than them (by doing cooler things, being more laid back, accepting, ambitious, etc.).”
9. You will become more conservative over time. This is just a fact. Those you surround yourself with create a kind of “bubble” that pushes you to support the status quo. For this reason, you need to do your craziest stuff NOW. Later on, you’ll become too afraid. Trust me.
10. Reduce all expenses as much as possible. I mean it. This creates a safety net that will allow you to do the crazier shit I mentioned above.
11. Instead of getting status through objects (which provide only temporary boosts), do it through experiences. In other words, a trip to Paris is a better choice than a new wardrobe. Studies show this also boosts happiness.
12. While you are living on the cheap, solve the money problem. Use the internet, because it’s like a cool little machine that helps you do your bidding. If you are currently living paycheck to paycheck, extend that to three weeks instead of two. Then, as you get better, you can think a month ahead, then three months, then six, and finally a year ahead. (The goal is to get to a point where you are thinking 5 years ahead.)
13. Learn to program.
14. Get a six-pack (or get thin, whatever your goal is) while you are young. Your hormones are in a better place to help you do this at a younger age. Don’t waste this opportunity, trust me.
15. Learn to cook. This will make everything much easier and it turns food from a chore + expensive habit into a pleasant + frugal one. I’m a big Jamie Oliver fan, but whatever you like is fine.
16. Sleep well. This and cooking will help with the six pack. If you think “I can sleep when I’m dead” or “I have too much to do to sleep,” I have news for you: you are INEFFICIENT, and sleep deprivation isn’t helping.
17. Get a reminder app for everything. Do not trust your own brain for your memory. Do not trust it for what you “feel like” you should be doing. Trust only the reminder app. I use RE.minder and Action Method.
18. Choose something huge to do, as well as allowing the waves of opportunity to help you along. If you don’t set goals, some stuff may happen, but if you do choose, lots more will.
19. Get known for one thing. Spend like 5 years doing it instead of flopping around all over the place. If you want to shift afterwards, go ahead. Like I said, choose something.
20. Don’t try to “fix” anyone. Instead, look for someone who isn’t broken.
