   HEY!!!
Hello! I'm back! It's been a while since I've updated, but here I am again!!! ^___^

The weather here in So. Cal has been very hottttt!!! It's been over 100 degrees in some areas. I live on the coast and the weather around here is never more than 80 degrees (F). It's usually 65-74 degrees. Houses around here (well, at least the very old ones like mine) weren't built with air conditioner because it wasn't necessary. We get nice weather 365 days a year. So, in this heat wave, we've been getting temps up to the late 80s. Sunday it was 84 degrees, here in the coast. We didn't know what to do. The beaches were packed by people who were from out of town. So what we did was just go out to the store where they actually have A/C and spend the day there. We went to Borders. I love it there. I could spend the entire day there =D

So yeah. Fans and A/C's were sold out in EVERY STORE IN TOWN. So there's none to be found yet. Neh.

Right now it's nighttime and it's still hot. Ugh. So that's why I haven't updated in a long time because my room is just too hot during the day and night and my comp is in my room. So yeah.


Anyway, July 28th was my lil' bro's 16 b-day ^^ Yay!
I don't know if you guys remember a long time ago (um, i think it was earlier this month) when I said that I was gonna draw him a Cowboy Bebop pic. Well I finished it and gave it to him and he liked it. He said he was freaking out because the pic looked exactly like the original pic, lol.

Here's the first stage:

It was a rough sketch and I liked it the first time around. I first drew in the black border and the vertical black lines. The vertical lines had to be measured out by 2.5 inches. I had to be careful to draw them straight. The process took me two days: to draw the border and lines. And four 30 min days to draw the sketch.
Didn't continue to the second stage for 2 weeks.


Stage two:

Drew it over with a black permanent marker because it's the blackest color possible in a marker.

^ this is the comparison. The pic I was working on was a screencap of the Cowboy Bebop intro. My printer had run out of color ink so it have me this magenta color instead of a red color for the background. Since it was a screencap I had taken, the pic was blurry.

The final stage!:

Yes I was pleased with the results. I finished the marker thing in less than one day. Lol.
