What am I doing, you ask?

[siehn]

I AM GOING FUCKING INSANE TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT REFERENCE PICTURE.

ohgod. You know how people sometimes say that artists get a little crazy, a little wild-eyed, and they HAVE TO FUCKING DRAW THIS THING BECAUSE THEY'LL DIE IF THEY DON'T (or at least they won't ever sleep, or draw, or write anything else, ever again until they do?) YEAH. THAT'S ME, RIGHT NOW.

OHGOD THIS IMAGE IS HAUNTING MY FUCKING BRAIN, AND I HAVE TO DRAW IT. I HAVE TO; I CAN'T NOT, AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL I DO THIS JEEZUS.

why let a little thing like NOT KNOWING WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE DOING stop you, brain? WHY DO THAT?

ugh. I cannot find the pose references I neeeed. I know very little of drawing humans. But that's what this picture is, and I HAVE TO DRAW IT, GOD I'M GOING INSANE.

if anyone knows of any good kneeling(girl) poses, y'know, like kneeling amongst flowers, but like, looking up, I NEED IT.

-collapses- MUST. KEEP. ON.

Calm my friend, I might have the thing for you..
This is where I go to for references sometimes. Not too sure if there's anything that might help you here..

They provide 360 viewing, so you can turn it into whatever angle as well.
Hope you get to sleep soon!

Nothing for quite what I'm looking for, but that's okay. I've found several refs I think I can cobble together to make a workable pose.

BUT OHMYGOD I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS PLACE, IT IS AMAZING. o.o I plan on going back to it, and IT MAY YET COME IN HANDY FOR THE OTHER POSE I NEED.

IN CONCLUSION: I LOVE YOU FOREVER.

...sorry if that comes off creepy; I'm slightly sleep deprived, and very very caffeinated.

[kshvoon.livejournal.com]

I thought I had another site, but can't seem to locate it in my history at the moment.
Don't worry! Not creepy, everyone needs some love! I love you too! =D

I know what you mean with sleep deprivation.. I think caffeine has given up on me..
I've been trying to photoshop a tree to make the roots go the way i want............. and i'm dying..

I've literally lost track of the amount of tea I've had. It's horrible. In a good way?

I haven't even staarted this yet. I'm trying to get all the refs I need first. It is going to be epic, though. ahah.

[kshvoon.livejournal.com]

Tea? I assume that's English tea.. Try getting some Green Tea.. Scientifically it has the highest content of caffeine, yet still has other properties that makes it 'good and healthy'.. That's like the only thing that works for me at the moment.. (it's bad, very bad)

Would we get to see this epically epic thing? =D

[siehn.livejournal.com]

Ahah. It is Green Tea, actually. I love it. x) I mean, I could probably try coffee, but I despise the stuff, sooo.

x) Oh, most definitely. Probably in stages. hahahah. It's going to be the first real piece I do with my tablet, sooo. It's gonna be fun.

[kshvoon.livejournal.com]

Let Green Tea drinkers unite! =D Nah, stick with green tea, i'd say..

Yay! Can't wait to see it!
Oh! You have a tablet! I'm saving up for one myself. I always think I don't need it desperately? But at times I get so frustrated with the mouse I wish I had one right then and there.

[siehn.livejournal.com]

Green Tea rocks. x)

Yes, I love my tablet. I have a Wacom Bamboo. It's the cheapest on the market right now at $79, and was an early b-day present, and it's very good. It's also green and black, which amused me, so. Ugh, I haate drawing with the mouse. My lines come out all wonky; it's terrible.

[kshvoon.livejournal.com]

So you'd say it's a good investment? Okay, it just jumped up a notch on my list of things to get.. =P

[siehn.livejournal.com]

lololol eeexceelleent. But yeah. No, I am like. SO HAPPY I finally managed to get a new one.

Also I think I've collected like. twenty reference pictures for ONE PIECE OF ARTWORK JEEZE. @.@; My life. My choices. I need to re-evaluate them.

[kshvoon.livejournal.com]

twenty? only? hahaha.. I say that because i'm worse for certain things. for human figures my lecturers are always telling us how we should be able to draw accurately from our imagination now that we've studied the anatomy blah blah blah.. each time we would stare at them as if they've grown a head. Ahh well, all in due time, I hope..

[siehn.livejournal.com]

hahah. I'm not done yet. x3 There will probably be a looot more than that.

Yeaah. My art teachers used to say that, and yeah. It never works for me. I guess maybe because I'm less practiced at humans. I'm working on, though. x)

[kshvoon.livejournal.com]

eyap, one thing with it is if you keep practicing it pays off.. =D It's hilarious looking back at my previous works..

Hi! We've tried contacting you several times via email and PM, but we haven't heard anything back. We would appreciate it if you would check in with your progress here (http://grimm-exchange.dreamwidth.org/3275.html) (even if you haven't started yet!), or let us know if you have too much on your plate right now and can no longer make the deadline. Thanks!

[lady-peony.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose it is true that every good artist needs to be a little bit mad as a person. Good luck with your drawing though!
