Excitement (plus some sketches)

There's so many exciting things happening in my life right now that it's hard to decide what to look forward the most. : D Firstly, I'm going to a nice field trip tomorrow! My school has arranged a trip to Jyväskylä (200 kilometres away from my home) to visit an event in the university of Jyväskylä where they introduce the university to senior high school students. We will also visit a chocolate factory. 8D The bus leaves at 7:00 AM from our school so I think I'm going to bed early tonight. It's going to be fun! My dad and my little brother gave me all their pocket money to buy chocolate from the factory for them : D

Another thing that I find quite exciting is that I've applied for the lions club youth exhange program. We had an info about it on monday and I returned the application form today. The exhange is going to be about 3-6 weeks in the summer and those who are chosen to participate will get 500€ for the tickets. (If they cost more than that, you have to pay the rest by yourself) There's four of us who are applying to it and they will only choose one or two.. So obviously I'm really nervous and excited right now.

And then the third source of excitement: father's day is only two days ahead! My dad is really important to me, and this year I have a perfect gift for him: the latest published album from his favourite comic book writer. I'm also making a card and a cake, like I do every year. : ) I can't wait to see his face when he sees them- he's not expecting a present from me this year. But I wouldn't skip father's day for anything. It's a tradition. And I think parents deserve some extra attention once a year. After all, without them we wouldn't exist. : D


Finally, some sketches from my notebook:

A horsie of course : D A bit more finished than the other ones, but I still call it "a sketch" 'cause it's done on cross-ruled paper. Ignore my psychology notes.

I like this lineart so I think I might make a colored version. With GIMP.

Ooh, colors! : D

Ratt. :3 I like rats. They make wonderful pets. I used to own two male pet rats (named Vihtori and Silvennoinen) but they died some time ago. : <  I have thought about buying new ones but I don't know.. Maybe in the future.

Heh, sorry for the stupid title.

So, here comes my very first blog entry with art ! I don't have much time to write right now so this entry will be pretty much about these two pics.

Here's the first one:

It's Gin/Silver Fang (the version I prefer most is Finnish Hopeanuoli : D Basicly because I learned to know him by that name when I was little) from Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. (My favourite manga/anime) This is probably my first proper drawing of him ever. My fav character of the story is Ben, though. I should make a picture of him too!



And then the other one:

A shetland pony! I love horses. And drawing them. They're my most common subject to draw, I think. I like the way the pony looks but I don't like the background.. One should never make backgrounds in a rush. They turn out like this. : D Well, I'll try to make a decent one next time. : > It was very fun to color a black pony! I liked it a lot. I think I'm going to draw a lot of black horses in the near future. 8D


Both of the pics were made using GIMP.
