◆Your name?
Nana

◆If possible, your age?
Turning 20 next week.

◆When did you start drawing?
When I was 3 years old.

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right hand.

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Female. But it's a matter of practice, I guess.

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Long hair.

◆Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Facing toward the left.

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Front view ... and 3/4 side is even easier.

◆What do you have problems in drawing?
Hands and perspective.

◆What do you like to draw?
I like drawing girls. With long hair and a nice share of hips and nice legs ... and lips.

◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Both. Even though traditional is more fun for me, the best results come off using digital methods.

◆Where do you start drawing from?
The shape of the head.

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
I rarely draw what I really want to draw. Since the past years, I only remember drawing requests for other people. I don't remember the feeling anymore, when drawing what's in your head. And if I wasn't wasting my time with other stuff ... I would've done something about it already.

◆Any tips for coloring/shading?
Pen pressure and eyedropper tool are your best friends.

◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
1 week with all the procrastination. Total of 10-20 hours, I guess.

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?
Something that I can sing along with.

◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Probably instantly. I have so many ideas in my head. I'm afraid that I won't be able to realize them all in this life.

◆Your favorite drawing utensils?
Pencil.

◆Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
Green, blue, turquoise.

◆Your favorite style(s)?
If I only knew to name them. >:

◆What kind of artist are you aiming for?
One that regains the ability to enjoy the process of drawing.

Sorry for the picspam

Sun Aug 9, 2009, 1:55 AM
I kind of failed to update my gallery with cosplay photos, so I started to slowly catch up. Please excuse all the picspam.

I had some kind of a cosplay comeback after two years and it was a lot of fun so far. Next time, I'll be at gamescom 2009 in Köln, cosplaying Megami Ibunroku: Devil Survivor with ~chocolatekiller and Nina.

I should draw more, too. I just don't have a proper desk for drawing at my parent's place (who I'm visiting over summer vacation). >:

Well, school starts in two weeks anyway. That should get me back to drawing~

The new love of my life

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 27, 2009, 6:39 AM




Yesterday, this new huge shopping mall called MyZeil opened in Frankfurt and of course, I've been there on the opening day.

It was goddamn crowded but the building certainly does leave quite some impression. Amazing architecture.
If you ever go to Frankfurt, visit myZeil!

So, in that 7 stories shopping mall, I found the new love of my life: Sacha.

A shoes & accessories brand from the Nederlands and I'm totally in love with the style. I'm bad with words so I can't describe and their homepage isn't really convincing either. Because in reality, their stuff is a lot cuter.

I sooo wanna work there!
And I hope I can get myself a pair of their stuff soon.

<3

I'm so slow. It's been 9 months. D:

First of all, thanks a lot for those many comments and faves I received in that time. I'm sorry that I was so slow with answering or often didn't answer at all.

Loads of stuff happened and I learned a shitload of helpful stuff from the events (even though most of them were rather frustrating ... but isn't it always like that?).

  • I got into the college but I dropped it in the end. Kinda decided not to study something art related after all. I'm not regretting it. I'll just keep working hard.

  • Made some friends in Frankfurt, had some short affair.

  • Joined Eintracht Frankfurt for cheerleading and tumbling. Made even more friends there, got quite into shape because of it and wow ... muscles, holy shit.

  • Got a job and been enjoying life without having to worry about money all too much.

  • Been to Finland and had a great New Year's party. Made many friends in Finland.

  • Got into a déja-vu. Though, this time I'm the winner, ahaha. Quite some experience.

  • I'm in an relationship as well, at the moment. I think it never felt this nice and natural.

  • Also, a lot of unlucky stuff but I'm not going to emo about that now.


  • Most of all, I've become very independent these days. I never realized how spoiled I was before. Being single, living alone, caring for yourself for some time ... it was time to learn that. I think, I've been doing well and tough.

    Okay, this was pretty random.

    But finally, I had time to update my deviantART a bit. I've always been busy with work and cheerleading.
    But I was hospitalized after someone called the ambulance on me last Saturday. And since then, I've had a free week. And I totally needed it.
    I'm full of strength again! Also for drawing, that is. <:

    Time to improve my skills!

    I'm back!

    I had so much stress the last three weeks.
    It really was inconvenient to break up with each other at such a time because I was about to finish school and was busy with my portfolio for a new school. And, well, additional stress with finding a new place to live in without having an internet connection wasn't really what I needed. But hey, I made it.

    I applied for an academy of arts in order to study communications design.
    My grades are too low to apply for other subjects so it had to be something where my skills can make up for my grades. At least I hope that I'm somewhat good enough ... I've seen the portfolios of other people and they are so impressing, I really don't know if I can get into that college or not.

    I handed in my portfolio yesterday, on which I was working on for the last weeks (which was too less time, but it was my fault that I started so late.) Everything was so complicated but I'm really relieved that I made it in time and that everything went fine in the end.

    I didn't sleep much, only 2-4 hours per night for the complete last week. That's why I slept almost all day and night yesterday.

    I am living in Frankfurt am Main now and I could get to college with my bike in a few minutes.
    I'm sharing a flat with three other people who are a lot into punk rock and very politically dedicated. They are so different from me but, well, they are really nice so far and I love the flat, too!

    I've been making a lot of music lately.
    Breaking up with each other is always hard to take and whenever I feel lonely I start writing songs or playing on my guitar.
    I also found a pretty nice newcomer band in Frankfurt. They are called Midas Effect and I think that they are quite nice. *random*

    I'm sorry for ranting so much. ^^;
    Actually, I just wanted to let you know that I'm back but that I won't update that much for a few weeks because I'm tired from working on the portfolio.


    P.S.: I really really really want to see Paramore live! T_T
