Short Artpost: Spring Withdrawal

Ugh, the weather's really been bugging me lately - I don't know whether I should wade it out with boots or save my boots the grief of horrid floodwater and just brave it out with sandals. Granted the latter doesn't seem so sanitary, but it's better than the unpleasant feeling you get when your shoes are wet inside.

It's times like these I wish we had Spring here in the Philippines. I say spring because summer is far too hot for me to withstand and somehow, spring just screams pleasant weather. That's probably because I don't have hay fever haha.

In light of this spring withdrawal, I found myself doodling the way I used to back in the day, when I didn't actually pre-think what I was going to draw. And lately, with all the HSJ Art Posts I've been doing, I thought I'd try something different.

Yehp, I understand I'm not exactly the best where shading and proportions are concerned - I'm not a trained artist after all, but I think it turned out better than expected considering I had no idea what I was doing.

Somehow she has a very 'Lolita-Thumbelina' feel to her haha, and if I had the time, I'd probably want to try and have something like this dress made for my own personal use. I doubt it'd suit me though haha.

I really wanted to color this piece but with my schedule it looks like it'll have to wait *sadface*. I'm thinking a similar color scheme as my blog would do this little lady well. Which reminds me - I used to name all my drawings when I was younger. I wonder where that habit went. I feel particularly uninspired today so I think I'll leave it to you guys to think of a name if it isn't too much of a bother.

What should I name her? :oooo
