so this dude http://www.thing-a-day.com/author/rowstyles/ has been putting up some mad dope fonts for days.. which in turn made me want to do the same. Unfortunately all I got is this one sad little guy:

And even more tragic-  I tried neopastels for the first time on a portait with disasterous results. The garish neon bright colors I had to choose from didn’t help any as I attempted to approximate skin tones. All that being said, here she is anyway:

Finally, I put Margaret in a sweater mostly to amuse myself. She, on the other hand, doesn’t look amused at all. Since this was probably my most successful attempt at anything the whole damn night I think I’ll post it:

thing-a-day no. 3 (now I’m all caught up!) :

This drawing is fan art. Not only am I a huge fan of the comic book, Ping Pong, (which is slowly being translated at that link), of the character Peko (depicted above), and of the cartoonist, Taiyo Matsumoto (he is MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE); I am also a newly minted fan of thing-a-day poster rowstyles and his fabulous hand-drawn fonts. I hate lettering because I suck at it, but there’s no cheaper way to learn than to blatantly copy someone else’s shit. I’m also a fan of Grado SR60 headphones, plain chocolate bars, boys with long hair in hats, the Korean and German languages, and bad spelling.

Drawn with a 0.05mm Staedler Pigment Liner pen on paper. Polka dots provided by a Deleter Jr. screen (ya know, the kind you have to cut out with an exacto knife and paste on yer drawing)
