Work Overload -_-
2 min read
I am soooooooo disappointed that in the past two weeks I was not able to complete any of my artworks due to extreme work overload with school (was only sketching here and there). Sometimes I think that they are doing this on purpose to see who would survive all this nonsense. I still do not understand this american education system. But anyway, this is now what I am complaining about xD I WANT TO DRAW! But I do not have much time...This is my complaint. Especially now, when there is a medsurg exam on Thursday and I was not able to prepare for it at all because of clinicals and numerous assignments which were literally due everyday. If those assignments were on paper they would be full of sketches, no doubt xD
Anyway! After Saturday of this week I finally might have some free time for myself to rest a bit and will work on some artwork of mine. Very excited about it! I do have several of them incomplete which I am slowly working on. Hopefully I will be done with them soon so they won't be hanging in a to-do list.)
Wish me luck to survive this week xD Metal, help me!

Dialogues: English vs Russian
2 min read
Holy carrots! Today I've discovered that English and Russian languages have the same exact rules about writing dialogues, but instead of writing hyphens there is a use of quotation marks, or speech marks as they are called. Wouldn't be able to figure this out without help of one great person, who literally pointed this out to me today. That is sooo weird! Seriously! Now when I redid all of the dialogues to English writing style of them in the latest part of my story "Weird Sorcery", it looks so wrong to me and...weird haha Well, maybe this is how it is supposed to be - "weird sorcery" chapters with weird dialogues. Will have to add weird pictures now and some weird music...I cannot stop laughing xD
In the end it is a bit sad...because great authors such as Gogol and Chukovsky wrote with hyphens and I have changed those to speech marks...But hey! It is always better to look at everything from a bright side! And the bright side in this case would be that true Russian literature will be untouched by those speech marks x) Even though I was taught to write dialogues with hyphens since I was little, I better keep this habit away from English so that be it was pure.
PS. What done is done. All of the previous parts, that I've completed prior part 8, will stay the way they are. New parts will have English style dialogues.

`Sketch This` App [updated]
2 min read
Usually I don't get a lot of apps on my phone, only those that I know I am actually going to use. After seeing the notice about Sketch This app, it really catched me because of those daily challenges. I did not try it yet since I've just got the app, but I am sure that it will become one of my daily usable apps because I looove challenges!^0^
Once I am done with my first challenge (which might take a while because I am really busy these days), I am definitely going to post it on my Deviantart page.)
I feel that using this app will be a lot of fun. The only thing that is left to do is to find some time to finish my ongoing pieces of art and begin new ones. I believe I can do it! Just have to increase my skill of drawing faster without loosing the quality.)))
* * *
[update]
Decided to take the challenge of drawing a boogie man. Well...I was hoping I will not need to draw in the app because that is on a phone and I prefer SAI and Manga studio 5 Ex.
Overall I like the idea of challenges. But to draw them on my phone in a good quality would be impossible or barely possible. I still would do the challenge, but in a program of my choice.

Temporary Overload
2 min read
Looks like I have an unintentional break in my art creation.
Not that I do not have inspiration or mood for drawing...I have all that and it is trying to get out!
But because of my nursing school I am not able to spend at least 30 minutes during the day to trace my sketches over the window when it is sunny (yes, I am doing that in an old-fashion way).
So when I actually have time for drawing, it's is during the evening when dark outside and I just do my sketches.
Have lots of sketches now and they beg me to make their clean copy (feels like my sketches become thicker and thicker so I just have to make a clean copy).
That is also why my new manga page is still on a piece of paper (Yep, trying a new technique, more traditional than straight digital even because I get tired of starring at the computer screen all day due to homework).
But no worries! Soon everything will be done and uploaded! Like in a week or two.
It will take this time because I've just ordered a tracing board so I will be able to make a clean copy of my sketches at any time of the day.
I am so excited for this tracing board! Going to be my first one^_^ I am sure that I will love it.)
Also I am still trying to get used to the nursing school. Lots of work to do.
Hopefully I will get better at managing my school work and I will get more time to spend on drawing <3
