Illiteracy

Um.

Does anyone here read Japanese?



I don't even know how to start translating this... If it turns out to be something embarassingly personal, maybe it's better if you email it, but ... yeah. Need translation, please.

A Weekend's Sketchbook

Whoo-ee, scans aplenty!

I went to life drawing on Thursday so there's nothing in my sketchbook for that day.
Friday's Sketchbook - some Filler Cats and an attempt at the Bandit Queen, who ended up looking a little like me, which is really ironic because there is probably not a more opposite character. (Except maybe Fifi the Frilly Fuschia Fairy.)
Saturday's Sketchbook - A rough sketch of the Bandit Queen, a study for the next page, some babies for a cunning plan of mine (which is not having babies; sorry, Dad) and a Bandit Queen head. TONY: The Bandit Queen is totally your kind of character! Please listen to the song and draw her, pleeeeeeeeeease? It's at 22:05 under the 'Listen' button here!

SUNDAY
Today doesn't technically count but I got nearly a week's worth of drawing done. Go fig.
Page One - They both go down together. (I am an evil, evil person for drawing this but ... I had to. The Decemberists play to my morbid streak!) Co-starring tulanoodle's dashing yet untrustworhty young man from a few days ago. And yes, it was the only thing on that page. Forgive the cropping; it's in your browser's best interest. ( Trouser Trouble )

Page Two - Netspeak Man and Emoticon Woman. This was something I'd doodled in my sister's sketchbook a while ago and developed a very very little bit today. Not my usual style. I am not good at flat and graphic.
Page Three - My sister and I watched El Dorado this afternoon (say what you like about the movie, it always makes me want to animate) and then the making-of thing to see the 'It's Tough to be a God' recording session which is hilarious, and Bonnie Radford's face triggered the caricature switch in my head. I don't know how close I got because I didn't pause her, just worked from memory. Heheh, I wonder what this does to my chances of getting a job at her studio... Also, I love crows. Aaaand... a Milo-ish Harry-ish guy with glasses, for no reason at all.
Page Four - More Bandit Queen sketches, rapidly dissolving into No Drawing Skill Whatsoever, whereupon I stopped.
