I had no idea and wasn’t on the mood to draw anything and ended up speed drawing a bamboo tree.

These drawings can actually be linked to each other.

Tying Hair


This physique is somewhat near to my ideal woman’s body. They look fit and very athletic, very sexy in my opinion.

Sleeping


After a long match, everyone would be needing some good sleep. Well, this picture probably entered my mind since I was craving to sleep the whole time I was drawing this. By the way the girl here in this picture is a Jpop Singer, who is she? Care to guess?

I was asleep for 11 hours straight, when I woke up it was already time to prepare for my work. To make up for day nine, a two drawings in one post:

Ouch!

While I was looking at my comfy slippers, I wanted to create sandals that I hate so much. The pain given by these kind of footwear is so excruciating, that I never wear these. The very least I could do is draw them.

Hair

Yesterday, I had my first waxing experience, and got rid of some hair. So here’s a hairy drawing for you!

I woke up at about 1am in the morning after sleeping for about 8 hours. The computer was so blinding that my eyes were screaming at me while drawing this picture.

I looked like him while I was drawing this piece.

The sky is up high, be not afraid to soar and reach your goals.

A real sketch this time, I wanted to experiment with colors and fast drawing. This piece took me about 30 minutes to create. I love green-eyed redheads with a tan.

Flashback from my early Ragnarok days where “automatic playing” was still not an option for me.

Featuring me and my close friend Dave when we were still on our first jobs as a magician and swordsman. I consider him to be the best tanker, the best bud and the truest friend I was able to meet during that time.

My notebooks were actually filled with doodles about my Ragnarok experiences done during class hours; I was that addicted. Here’s a tribute to our friendship Dave, as a payback for your doodles of my character years ago.

Finally, it’s Saturday! My official badminton day. Here’s a tiny tribute for the sport I love. And I’ll be off to play later.

I had a reference photo for the pose taken from here.

This was supposed to be a famous JPop singer, but the drawing ended up looking horrible and with little time on my hands, I changed the girl’s face as a quick fix. The eyes featured in this drawing still belongs to the singer, I didn’t change anything since it looked right. Can you still guess the singer who owns her eyes?

I know this doesn’t look like a sketch anymore, I’ve gone a little bit overboard. But I its okay right? I’m just letting loose.
Oh yeah, I named this girl Sakura since her lips turned out pink.

I’m starting a series called “Sketch a Day” that will be part of my daily lifestyle.

My only goal is to sketch everyday as part of my personal discipline and practice to improve my drawing skills. I don’t aim for something extravagant, but something that will allow me to doodle while being carefree of the output. I think it will be able to broaden my imagination in the long run. Hope you’ll support me on this one.

Here’s my first drawing:
