A rather talented young girl, at only 17 she’s already a hit in Australia (aftr coming 6th on Australian Idol) and released her album here recently. Now if only I could find it… I would buy it.

See you when you get here has such a haunting little melody and I love the video. I really hope and think this girl will go far.
So check her out! And if you do find the album, please let me know where I can get it!

Resuri.

A change.

I’ve recentely decided that no longer will I be trying to draw in the style of Manga, but I will try and branch as far from it as possible.

This will probably be very hard for me.
Manga is the first thing I started drawing seriously. I will always love it and my work will probably always contain traces of it… But I just can’t keep restricting myself to this one, far over-used style.

It might be ok if it was something that had even orginated from my country, but it’s not. I don’t have an excuse to hang on to it.

Now I find myself wondering where to go from here though.
I’ve been trying to draw realisticly… But that’s something I’ve always struggled with. It’s a bit hit and miss with me, but of course practice makes perfect I guess… And now I sound old…

At least i can be proud that I’m not the girl who cried when it was hinted at that she should try to break away from the manga style, or so I’m told.

I need to be serious about this and actualy do something rather than just talk about it if I intend to make it as an Illustrator.
I only have a year and a half of uni left… It’s going very quickly… So I need to be more productive, sooner rather than later.

I’ve decided to start updating my deviantart account again. I really missed talking to some of the people there, they’re very supportive. Of course like one friend mentioned, you can bet watchers drop like flies as soon as I stop drawing manga… But to be fair I lost most of them by not updating regularly. And I don’t blame them.

But I’m not drawing for the fangirl community.
I’m drawing for myself.

Resuri.
