request: drawing process (naruto edition)
9.8.13
The disadvantages of waking up at 1am is that everyone is sleeping, you won't feel obliged to study because of the dark and it is also procrastination at it's best (evidence below) Naruto is my favourite person to draw and after following since 2003, I decided to put my dedication to use  


It might just look like a few scribbles, but the placement of these scribbles and where to draw these lines took me a good half hour *tears streaming down my face*


*1 hour of intense concentration later*


Tracing time! I use the Zebra (sign pen) and I remember it being pretty f*cking expensive in Australia and even in Shanghai it was 7 yuan which is expensive for a pen (when they're usually less than 1 yuan each). When I went to Japan, I saw these for even cheaper in a stationery store so I bought two and that was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made in life :') Although my only regret is that I should have bulked up my stationery supplies in Japan rather than just buying one of each pen crey. 

But yeah, it's actually quite hard to work with because you don't drag the pen across the lines, you have to drag your entire arm across instead (if that makes sense) And it's actually really tiring and even more frustrating when you drag your arm a bit too far then bam the line is out of place :'( 


After 10 whole minutes of sincere rubbing out (guys it's better to rub in tiny motions rather than a hard, long streak) 



*3 hours later* 
I am very proud of myself (since I haven't drawn for a while) and it came out better than I expected 



I actually screwed up the hair because usually I would use two hands, one to guide the pen and the other to hold the paper still but holding my phone in my left hand was clearly a bad idea sigh. But yeah (to the anon) this is the process (of procrastination) I guess, and I'm not sure where to find this pen in Sydney, give it a shot online?

Oh and you can't watch it as a video so it kinda comes out as a gif with a play button in the middle (whenever I upload it as a video there's a preview picture under the video which I can't get rid of so I tried uploading it as a picture and it came out gif-like so yeah :I )
