My first time trying out watercolour on moleskin; I haven’t touched the palette in years, not since I got acquainted with my wacom anyway. Referenced from one of the 2009 episodes of Shounen Club Premium interviewing Sho on his influence in JE and a bit on his past. He sure didn’t have it easy at all during his teenage and young adult years due to the massive amount of pressure from all sides, most of all from the need to prove himself as an accomplished student while maintaining the job as an idol, but by sheer determination and sacrifice, he had achieved so much more than what others could only dream of. He’s an amazing person who deserves lots of respect <3 *teary eyed*
Midori’s personality shone like the sun in contrast with the melancholic Naoko. She has the cutest analogies, don’t you think? Even though I don’t necessarily agree with it.
Watanabe: What’s true love for you?
Midori: For example, I tell you “I want tartlet with strawberries”. You drop everything, run, buy it, then run back, breathing heavily and give it to me. And then I’ll say “I don’t want it anymore”. And you’ll throw that damn tartalet through the window. That, that’s what I call true love.
Watanabe: To me, it doesn’t seem like it has anything to do with real love.
Midori: It does! I want for this person to answer me “I get it, Midori, sorry, my fault I’m a total ass, a blockhead a dog without feelings. I’m going to bring you something else. What do you want? Chocolate mousse? Or maybe cheesecake?”
Watanabe: And then?
Midori: Then I will love him.
I saw Norwegian Wood last weekend and thought it was nice enough material for me to pick up my pen to begin sketching again after ages of neglect in favour of positioning my mindset as a designer’s, but let’s not digress. My attempts at observational sketching are usually sloppy so I was hoping to do something about this.. Guess I just haven’t figured how to go about shading hair nor filling in the blanks realistically.
Don’t Matsuyama Kenichi and Kikuchi Rinko look just really cute together? <3 Making screen caps had made me realise, as I scroll through the different scenes, how this film is definitely growing on me; I'd just have to delve deeper, and start seeing.
Planning for another batch of sketches and perhaps add some colours. More later.
Did anyone else think of Nino while watching Jesse Eisenberg (as Mark Zuckerberg) in The Social Network? Lol I couldn’t comparing the similarities, especially those lips!! *stares* 同じ匂いがするね。That was one engaging movie by the way, I never knew such a saga exists behind Facebook.
And on the same day Curry treated all of us to Skinny Pizza, a waiter had Nino written on his nametag; G had pointed that out.. Awww.
Rewatching Ryuusei no Kizuna – brings back the fondest memories whenever the music to Beautiful Days plays, and catching up on NatsuNiji <3 GAWD I MISS FANDOM SO MUCH :’(
