And the homework begins. I gotta draw 50 buses by next week. Hence the being awake at this hour. I have problems working in the day, it's too darn hot and noisy. Night time is better for me. I hope I wake up in time for my life drawing session. ... more like I hope the boyfriend wakes up in time for it too. -_-

I make the exact same face that the character has when I'm drawing. If the character is smiling, I'm often grinning. It's quite disconcerting to anyone who's watching.
