Description
I have had this notebook since I was... 11 or 12, I think. It's made of recycled paper, it has a hard cover and the pages are yellowish. It's freakin' beautiful. I've always loved it and I've started it several times, but I always seem to stop after a few pages, and a few years later, I find it again, tear out the pages which are drawn or written and start over again. It's like a cycle.

I have had this story since I was... 15 or so. Well, the characters, at least. The plot came much, much later. For years I imagined them and gave them personalities and lives and backgrounds. Yet, for a while I was afraid of drawing them, because I knew I wouldn't be able to live up to what I had imagined.

Then I thought "whatever" and started drawing them over and over again. Most of the time there's something wrong with their faces, or their anatomy, but sometimes I get it right and it's worth it.

And then I found the notebook. Again. And now I think I broke the cycle. About 40 pages so far and counting, all about this very project.

This is the second page, and one of my favourites so far.

And this post is way too long. Uh, don't mind that sentence. She's like, made of air. : |

Tools: B Mechanical pencil on paper. Color and words in Photoshop. (By the way, I'm not even sure about the typography, but I had to put something in there)
