I’m still trying to improve my anime characters. This character is from Christopher Hart’s book “The Master Guide to Drawing Anime”. It took me about an hour and change, I think. The original is in grayscale, but I decided to try my hand at coloring it. Right now “Paper Planes” by M.I.A is playing in the background in my room. I think it’s a happy coincidence.

I was catching up on some anime shows the other day and I got the urge to try and draw Megumin from “Konosuba”. It’s not as good, but I think I did ok for just glancing at the character a few times.

I worked on my novel some more, however I didn’t start on it until after lunch. So my whole day is running later than I want. Anyway, I wrote another two pages. It was easy than yesterday so that’s a plus.

Yesterday, I started practicing Korean after a long hiatus. I have no use for it in my daily life. It’s not like I’m planning a trip there. I went there years ago on a short vacation. The only words I knew then were Kamsamnida and anyonghaseyo. When I got a hotel none of the staff spoke English or Spanish. Luckily, one of the clerks knew Japanese so I was able to communicate with her. In hindsight, I should have started with Japanese, but I figured English is more widely spoken and Spanish was the second most widely spoken language in the world at the time. I think now it might be Mandarin Chinese, but I digress. What I want to say is it’s handy to know more than one language. Who knows, maybe I’ll go back again someday. I really liked the food there.
