Random doodles & a short update

Hello again!
A quick note: First a big thanks to the ones who read and commented on the previous post! I didn't think I would get that many responses on it, but it's good to know that there are more people out there who are going through or went through the same thing and who shared their stories with me. Many thanks ^_^!
Man. She looks so sophisticated!

Okay, I'm in a small process of rearranging my blog. Nothing really big, but I will add a few pages. Thanks for pointing this out Claire! So you may think...what kind of pages?

Well, let's see, there will an 'About me' page. Here, I will also link to older posts e.g. the questionnaires I answered.

Second, a 'Want an illustration?' page...and ehm...*mind goes blank*...not sure what else. But you will see the pages magically appear under my header.

Why the change? Well, I just have the feeling that all the stuff on the side is getting a bit too crowded. I already added all the lovely awards I got from fellow bloggers under the 'Awards' page.

That cool French lady (well I think she's cool) is part of a bunch of faces & hair I did a while back. I will upload more drawings from this later. I do think, that in the near future, I will make a bigger change; an entire new look. Getting curious? Well I'm curious as well hehe. I'm brainstorming about a cool design and a logo. So I wonder what I come up with.

Enjoy the doodles and till next post!

This was actually for the New Years post, but ehm... I kinda forgot about it hehe

  4. your logo should be a friggin' turtle!

    btw, I like the sophisticated drawing.

    Will the blog have a different design or are you just adding pages to this design?

  22. I love the New Year's drawing, TJ--it was fun seeing it now.

    My blog is going to have a slight makeover soon too. My friend Eddie (yes, that one) is drawing a new header for me! I am so excited to show it to you when it is completed. He said he should have it done by this weekend.

    Anyway--just thought I'd drop by to say "Hi!"

  24. hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....

  25. Hi! Nice blog, I really mean it! I have been reading your prior posts and sympathize with the 'struggles'. I have also studied social sciences (in my case psychology) while all I really wanted to do is to draw. Now that I have my diploma and safety net, my career opportunities in the artistic field are way better than those of the academic field O_o
    I financed my education by selling my art :)

    So follow your heart, because eventually it's a much better way to live doing something you like to do, instead of doing something other people say you should do.

    you have the talent, keep it up :)

  26. @ Melinda: Helloooo Melinda! How lovely from you to stop by ^_^. Yes. I found the sketch last week and gave it some color. Oooh a new header! I can't wait to see it! And since it comes from Eddie, I'm sure it's simply wonderful. Aah I'm soo curious! I'll stop by your blog soon!! Take care :D

    @ Adyna: Hello Adyna! Thank you for stopping by! Just stop by whenever you have the chance ^_^!

    @ Alexiev: Thanks for stopping by. No link dropping though.

    @ Hapi: Thank you! Happy Blogging to you as well.

    @ Sjan W: Hello Sjan! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and lovely words! Following my heart is indeed what I'm going to do and in the end it can work out even better. But I won't know this until I've tried ^_^. Thank you for stopping by! Take care and keep up your good work!
