ザアザア sketchbook page!
This is a page in my sketchbook I did February this year.
In the top left, in the red pencil, is Reiya. I used a pic from his twitter as reference. I had fun drawing it, and like the result.
Directly underneath, in the blue and pink pencil, is Haruga. I used a screenshot from the 五月病 MV. Some lyrics are written in the thought bubble, although the Japanese is read as if it were English. I thought it would fit the space better this way. There are more lyrics written under Haruga’s hand and arm, I was struggling to draw the former.
On the top right corner is the band logo referenced from a MV.
And below the logo, in the blue and orange pencil, is another drawing of Reiya. A screenshot from the アル中 MV was used as reference. I had fun drawing the glasses and the cup.
As always constructive criticism and questions and comments are welcome
Wow! It’s been over two weeks since I’ve been able to draw! I’m suffering the withdrawal! I’m into a 10-20min stretching and strengthening routine for my wrists everyday, and luckily I’ve been healing great! Some days I even felt 0 pain in both wrists! This second week of healing has been alot less miserable because I have been able to do more everyday things without pain. Before I only did bare minimum self care, and listened to music in my bed. But now I can go on my phone, cook, play video games and backgammon, all without much pain. Although I can’t exert myself, too much of most of that will make me feel some pain. Something that keeps bugging my wrists is driving or being a passenger, the former is a pretty obvious reason, the ladder not so much. I guess there isn’t a comfortable neutral position when I’m sitting like that. Car rides are long and mandatory to go to town, so it’s hard to avoid. I’m hoping to draw again first thing next month.
Anyway I had some strange dreams due to the withdrawal. I’ll share:
Summary
This one came first, and was an elementary school setting, which is something I often dream of.
I was in art class sitting at the front of the class and my grade 6 teacher was doing her job and handing out our work for the period. It was a colouring page or something similar. All the other kids in class begun to colour/draw but I was telling everyone to stop. People were confused by the disturbance, I started to explain to everyone that this class was unfair because I couldn’t draw. Nobody really stopped or cared much. I kept pleading and telling them how unfair it was, event started crying. In the end I was at my desk crying to myself wanting to draw and participate really badly. The end
This one came about a week after.
I was in a small room, sitting on a couch in front of a coffee table. I had my sketchbook on the table, and my ear buds were in. I was listing to nakayubi by BUCK-TICK while drawing a page full of different drawing of a specific character from a long-term project I have been working on. I was doing line art when my family started bustling back and forth infront of the table. I could hear them faintly through my music. They were saying it was almost time to go, and someone needed to tell me to stop drawing, so I could go to. I was thinking to my self I really didn’t want to stop. At this point I was done with the line art and was painting the page with opaque water colour. I had a napkin beside me to wipe my brush, and dab on my page when I made mistakes, I was using it on my piece, wiping paint off the nose of my character. The dream ended with nakayubi still playing, and I hadn’t left with my family yet so there was still a huge longing to continue my drawing, simultaneously I knew I couldn’t for much longer.
This second dream stands out to me because it was so detailed. I could hear nakayubi word for word, and can still conjure the image of what I was drawing. I dream alot, like at least 10 dreams a night, but they usually aren’t this detailed. It’s only like the third time I had a detailed dream of drawing.
I’m so ready to draw again! I just have to wait a little longer 
I also feel really dumb that I managed to injure both my wrists… I always thought I would have a healthy back-up 
I would love to see more of the work you already did.
I have so many projects I want to finish, and new ones I want to start.
