Caffeine Comics

Oh my poor neighbour, she endures a lot ;) Having to put up with my allnighters, the moodswings caused by such allnighters, and my pretty extreme caffeine intake after such allnighters.

So, of course, I dedicated some silly little comics to it, as I was working on something to start the ringbinder with that's been assigned for this class. I wanted something silly and fun, without making it all too hard on myself. I have the tendency to be extremely hard on myself - everything has to be perfect, anatomy has to be perfect, it MUST be PERFECT or I will have FAILED. And that's exactly the type of thinking that has gotten me into such a massive amount of trouble at school. I might be kicked off of school for being a self-blocking perfectionist who gets into such panicked breakdowns she can't put her brush to the paper without worrying about how ugly it will probably look.

Inhaaaaale.
Exhaaaaale.
Stay calm.
Stay positive

Well then, have a look at some of the things I've been tinkering around with. This is a fun way of drawing for me, very relaxed, and I get far less worried about Super Perfection while drawing this way. I'm currently tinkering with how to show surroundings in this art style, so you'll be seeing some of that as well. But for now, facial studies and just random fun :D





"Long live daylies! (And coffee)"
"Did you pull an all-nighter again?"
"When I have to choose between getting my propadeutic diploma and sleeping, the choice is easily made."

"Go to sleep."
"Sleep!"






Oh dear, more Dutch! Sorry lovelies. Poor disturbed neighbourlady asks "WHY?" after a tiny cup of espresso, I cry "I want coffee!", and neighbourlady celebrates that the coffee has worn off in the bottomright corner.

All ye Italians. Never give me genuine espresso. Ever. Thank you.

And of course, you can also follow my neighbour's antics on her very own blog, Badly Drawn Neptune.

Stay tuned, there's far more updates coming ;)
