No matter how hard I try, my inbox always overflows. So I'm not gonna try and contain it anymore. Nope. I currently have 1841 devs and 37 journals to click and clear. D: I feel guilty whenever I just delete things and don't look at them -- I volunteered to watch all these people, so dammit, I'm gonna watch them.

*Dianae's digital painting tutorial is lurve. She actually captured it on film (I guess that's what you'd call it) and has 8 vids on YouTube of her painting it. *__*; I'm in awe.
Link that links to everything: [link]

People who say dodge and burn are always bad tools have no idea what they're talking about, by the way. Overusing them's a bad thing, but you can overuse anything and it'll look bad. (Yay for ambiguous pronouns.)

Since this has turned into a pimp journal, I'll continue.

Love *Saimain's stuff too. I've watched her for about a year and a half now. >>; This dev's worth staring at for hours: [link]

_{Yes, I now have a digital painting fetish. Shutup.}

~SprinklyCupcake told me she would spam me if I didn't post something soon. This is just to say that I'm working on something. I swear it'll be done before next Tuesday. |DDDD

Edit 1: ...can I beg off updating until this Friday? Just realized I have to write a sonnet in 3 hours.

Edit 2: [link]

Yeah, that's my new account. I don't care if you watch that one or this one or give up on me and just decide to not watch me. Whateeeever.

So, I've lurked around forums and learned that some people draw at huge sizes (1600x1200). How do you draw that big? A vague outline first, zoomed out, and then zoom in? Or what? I've tried to draw at a large size on my tablet and I have to have it at 100% to have smooth, unbroken lines so I don't get how people draw huge and then shrink it later. <<;

So the question is: how do people draw at such large resolutions?

I was going through random sites and found one that would make titles in the Harry Potter format. I just inserted my name in it.

So...exams tomorrow. I don't think it'll be that hard. But I'm literally going to fail my Latin exam in two days. I'm 100% Chinese and I would completely and utterly fail a Chinese exam. <<; Brain deficiency, I tell you.

My history teacher's really nice. She gave out the exam's prompt beforehand and said she doesn't expect what we write down to be completely polished. Of course, I thought it did so I was wasting time hyperventilating for nothing.

Watch me completely blank and fail my Latin exam~ ;;;;;

The thing about Latin is that even severe, hardcore scholars have to look up words. You can't know all the words. Which I consider both a good thing and a bad thing. You don't have to remember all words you evar read but you have to know the grammar really well.

Today's history cramming, tomorrow's Latin cramming.... O, where art thou, summer break?

_{And my English teacher went off the deep end halfway through class. She started talking about Juliet's breasts hanging off a balcony.}
