I got the sleep/wake early thing working… I’ve been practicing for a healthy amount of time every morning before classes; I’m trying to get up even earlier, but that leaves me pretty sleepy halfway through the day (and falling asleep in some of the less important classes. It’s 8pm now and I’m painfully sleepy…. I am practically working at opposite hours of my summer operation hours, I hope that won’t drive me insane and stuff. Nonetheless the mornings had been chilly and beautiful, and beautiful things make me happy
It’s the beginning of the term and I already roped myself into playing a bunch of accompaniment stuff for other people in the faculty outside of my accompanying-for-credit course. I’m a terrible reader, which means the stuff I take on will cost me a lot of my time… the last time I forced myself to do this for my own good, I don’t remember improving too much at the end of it; so was this a bad choice…? I’ve thought over this thing about forcing myself to do things I can’t really do many times over the years in various situations, and I really rather to do what I want to do and settle for “enough” is good than trying to be like the people I look up to. But without knowing it, I’m back…
and I haven’t drawn anything for a long time. I rather miss it. But from how I’m doing right now, it doesn’t look like I’ll have much of a chance to do anything in the near future. I sketched some dolls and music box ballerinas because of a piece by Ravel I’m currently studying and because I’m attracted by their creepiness, none of them have CG potential though.
Wait no wonder I don’t have time to draw them, CUS i SPEND ALL MY TIME ON TALKING/TYPING ABOUT THE FACT THAT I HAVE NO TIME! oh the irony
Anyway here’s a sketch of chillaxdom…

and here’s a video of Shanghai traffic of awesome. it brings memories of my last trip to china and how much i despise china…

And I thought traffic and downtown Toronto was something , but Shanghai looks like a really lively place. And as for your sketch , I love the city scene.
