Description
This was meant to be an installment to the series of Adoptables Journals I'm doing on my other account (this is going to be cross posted, btw) but I realized that it can be useful for more people than just Adoptables Makers.How many time we are trapped in art block and can't see a way out? The Colour Roulette is very handy in these cases, mostly because you'll never get the same three subjects again.
This is because when you're happy, the colour red can become heart, flower, watermelon... But if you're angry it can become blood, bomb, ladybug... (Yes, I believe that a ladybug is an eternally pissed off insect, deal with it.)
And the colours are to be picked out randomly so it adds more fun to the game!
This is also useful to design OCs, if you already have a colour palette in mind.

I use Paint Tool SAI (you have to pay for it unless you find the crack), but I know that a lot of people use GIMP, which is free but still has layers, like SAI.

I have to agree with you on the ladybug thing. One of the darn things peed on me!!!!!!! It landed on my hand. Looked cute for a minute, but as it flew away, a yellow liquid was left behind. >x
Yuki mad!!!!
Other than that, great job with the artwork and thanks for showing how to do it!

Haha, they're just the products of a very lazy person.
Because having to design different things every time sucks up too much energy after one or two drawings, but if you have some tricks up your sleeve you can go on for hours.

you say you are lazy? haha no way XD
Will have to try that once
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm the Lazy-ass Queen!
But seriously, I have tons of sketches and I manage to line and colour maybe 5% of them because, once they've been sketched out... The picture's done in my mind, no need to slave over it to make it more pretty.
When they'll commercialize the machine that lets you print your thoughts, THAT will be the most awesome day ever.

Bu- but we can't see them you know! O3O And I bet they are amazing ideas >.>
And the most horrible at the same time... Think about all that porn that people will dig out of ours minds XDD

Haha, it might fuel the fandom until the end of time.
(But seriously, half of that is crap... I don't want to subject you to crap, it's smelly! รฉ_รจ)
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
LOL I wouldn't be surprised if that was true, you know XDD
(pff you are just saying that to discourage me! O3O how can you? I'm CERTAIN it's not crap~)

Haha, you almost make me want to pick up three random sketches sheet of the last two months and see if you still think it's not crap.

Well, my train got cancelled, the train station did NOT have the new tickets for next months so I'll need to go there another time just for that, my new shoes destroyed my feet, the secretaries didn't want to give me a print I needed so I had a fight with them about The Duties of a Secretary, the exam was basically impossible (results come next week anyway) and my manga shop didn't accept my credit card because it's de-magnetized or something... And I'll have to spend 5โฌ to change it.
I swear, if there's a God of bad luck somewhere, he was looking at me ALL F***ING DAY. ยฐAยฐ

Do you have results already? I really hope you passed...

That's so simple I'm surprised I hadn't thought of it before. Really useful!

Well, chatting can get you awesome ideas too, but it's a longer process and it's not guaranteed you get fast inspiration.
