In here are the little doodles I do in my notebook when I'm bored. These are by no means all of them, these are the ones I liked enough to keep.
Possibly the most important notebook drawing of all, this is exactly what I want the Game Goddess to look like, but have never been able to reproduce--not even when I traced it! |
I just like this one of my character, Lady Lily Palewyng. The quote is supposed to be from Shakespeare, but my memory might be off. |
I think this is the only time I ever resorted to tracing. I just didn't think I'd ever be able to draw the very difficult Asteroid Senshi, and I really wanted to see what they'd look like in pretty dresses, such as those in one of Naoko's pictures of the 10 girls sleeping. |
This is a portrait of this guy at school, Bobby, I did while I was bored. It came out really well! |
To this day, I still sketch my characters from the KC if I'm feeling down or just bored. I don't know why I put Crissy in glasses, though. |
This is a test design for this character, Damien, for an upcoming animated short Alex and I thought of doing. |
I saw this weird figure on a blackboard that reminded me of a dress, so I drew it so I wouldn't forget. This dress ended up on a random anime girl that you can see in my Horrible, Horrible Mistakes section. |
I draw eyes a lot while I'm listening to teachers. They're easy to do and you can always use the practice. I was trying CLAMP style here. |
Another random eye, done in Naoko Takeuchi's style when she's doing characters like Hotaru. |
Just another random eye. |
Just me seeing what I'd look like if I let my bangs grow out. |
Another member of the KC, Jon, finds his way to my Irish History notebook. |
I don't know if anything specific made me want to draw Mako-chan. Maybe my hair was curly that day. |
I really can't draw lips in profile at all, so I started sketching this girl in my French class, Mary Ann. It didn't turn out too well, though, and I quickly gave up. |
Just playing with the kinds of white dresses Naoko Takeuchi always draws. |
Poor Pam has had so many hairstyles over the years, but I think this is the one she had towards the end. |
I think this was inspired by the layout artwork Bunny had on Bunny's Tour Through The Silver Millenium. Mine came out crappy, though. |
Taking another stab at Princess's original dress design before giving up on it completely. |
Princess Mars surveys her terrain from the margins of my notebook. |
A crooked Princess Venus. |
I copied this off of g o d d e s s before Crosswinds shut it down. I didn't finish it because my computer teacher got suspsicious. |
Just some random anime girl, who I admit looks a lot like a mix between Hotaru and Ami. |
Sakura, copied from a computer screen during computer class. Yeah, we didn't learn anything there. |
My hair was all messy and pulled back in a bun, and I felt a little self concious about it, so I drew it. It made sense at the time. |
DAMN this would be a lovely picture if Lily didn't look stoned! The hair and the dress blowing in the wind came out exactly how I wanted them too--it's just her eyes that ruin this picture! |
I drew VesVes's back. I'm not really sure why. |
I think I drew this after I drew VesVes's back, randomly. It just seemed to go. |
A whole page o'crap. There are a lot of things on here...me trying to draw my hand...a new fuku design...what Neo Queen Serenity would look like goth...I was really bored! |
I knew computer class was going to be trouble when I started doodling the first day. This is supposed to be a high school Chibiusa in computer class. |
I was trying to make really amazing eyes, so I decided to draw Hino Rei, but it came out so ugly, I decided to make it me instead. |
This was drawn right about the time Serena and Venus Williams were competing in...uh...one of those big tennis things. I thought this was a good pun.

Here starts my spring semester of 02. It's not a good thing to give Crissy a bunch of colored pens for Christmas. :) This is just another Naoko-style eye. |
Me--or Sailor Mars--relaxing under a coconut tree. You know it's bad when you're daydreaming about summer vacation a few days into school. |
Un bocal de tetard. :) Drawn in French class. |
Trying a CLAMP-style eye. |
Practicing making a metallic shine on a cresent moon. |
I tried to draw a very realistic eye, then colored it violet to be Rei-chan's. |
The five inner senshi, done entirely in colored pen. Fun fun fun! |
To my brain, purple pen = must draw Saturn's fuku. |
Thesis lectures make me really nervous. I drew a dress design for a contest, a trendy chick, mountains, Usagi's legs, and just a few other random doodles. |
I was thinking of Mercury's legs in the manga when she finds out she's a sailor senshi. |
Sun designs for the dress design for the contest I am going ot enter. |
The thumbnail here doesn't look too bad, does it? But click on it for proof of evolution... |
An anime style eye compared to a realistic eye. |
I was thinking of Aluminum Siren's hair when I did this. |
A profile of a very pale Chibiusa. |
Profile of my original character Kain--I find males AND profiles hard to draw, so I welcomed the practice. |
Just a pretty little rose cottage. |
On the last day of our creative writing class, she let us have cookies and soda--and napkins! |
I drew a set of vampire teeth for my friend Dan, and myself as the "Cosmic Fool" for me. |
Intro to Poli Sci was a class that made me very, very angry, so often I had to distract myself by drawing. Here is me trying out a new style on a kitty girl, designing clothes for a new layout, and just generally doodling. |
I actually draw out quite a few ideas for layouts, and other site stuff, before I attempt them. This was my attempt at a design for my 404 page, and various other things that popped into my mind during class. |
A rather good sketch of my friend Tim. 3-13-02 |
Sailor Mars with her favorite expression. I believe I copied this from the pen that Annie gave me as a Christmas present. |
I like pretty dresses. Faces are time consuming. Translation: I have no idea what I was thinking when I drew this. |
The top is another faceless girl done entirely in metallic colored pencils. The bottom--which I'm quite proud of--is grownup Chibiusa entirely in pen. |
I was feeling dejected because I think my teacher said I was a failure or something, so I drew me experiencing anime zombie loss of feeling type stuff. |
For a few days at work, I had SUCH a good pen to write with, that I was inspired to draw. It came out pretty well! But then my pen was stolen. ::sniff:: |
I hadn't (haven't) drawn in a long, long time, so I decided to try this at work. I really want to draw Queen Serenity (from the old Silver Millenium) as a Sailor Senshi, but as you can see, it needs some work. |
I had a dream that I was wearing adult-sized overalls, and that they were really, really cute! So I sketched them out so I could see if I liked them. Anyone know where I could get a pair like this? |
Back to drawing at work! I had never really read Sailor V, so I found some translations on a manga scan site. I had V-chan on my mind for a few days, and did this to keep myself entertained while on a boring conference call. |
I had Magic Knight Rayearth wallpaper on my desktop at work the entire time we were watching the series. One day my computer took so long to load I had time to copy Umi off of the screen! |
Somebody left a pink pen at my desk. I had to. |
I think Minako is on my mind a little more often than I care to admit--what can I say, I'm a Rei cosplayer. I know why I drew her in plaid, though--ever since my friend Hal requested a picture of her in plaid, it just seems to go so well. |
Yet another day where my computer took forever to load. This time I had a Sailor Moon desktop, so I drew Ami-chan. |
