► eleventh sketch [Video]

[memorychains]

[Hey Johto, do you like livestreams?

There might be one going on in this feed. The feed opens up to a "pip!" and is shaky, before settling on a lopsided but decent view of paper. There's a view of a pair of female hands, a sketchbook on a desk and some art supplies around. The artist in question isn't aware it's streaming, however, starting on a queue of practicing on drawing her pokemon.

Once done, she sets it aside and works on a Piplup one, a Lugia, a Pikachu, a Typhlosion...]

[ooc: pretend they're not fast forwarded and the hands are girly :'|b dsfgfd yeah but basically she doesn't realize she's streaming. also if you have any old threads you want me to tag, poke me here, I forgot which ones I owe /)_(\]

Wow, those're really good!

[ooc: Think we have one in Ven's most recent post, if you wanted to continue it]

[video] omg LJ stop it 8|

[That almost makes her miss a line--

... oh geez is the gear on. There's some off screen "pip!" as Namine kinda gives her pokemon a weird look before just leaving it on, continuing her work.]

I... thanks, um.

[She peeks at the gear to see who it before resuming.]

Thanks, Ven.

[ooc: /backtags forever]

[video] seriously man, it's being a brat

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

They look just like the real things...

[Still marveling, he needs a moment]

So um. Have you been drawing them a lot?

[ooc: /joins]

[video] I think it's fine now

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

You think so?

[It almost looks too unrealistic, but then again, these things look like they came out of a child's game.]

It's a little easy to draw them since most of them look simple. I've been practicing on them for a while now by rough sketches, but this is my first time trying to do them fully.

[video] hope it stays that way

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh, I sure do. Kinda wish I had that kind of skill...

[He ducks offscreen and rummages around, returning with...

Well, presumably that's supposed to be a bear-face on a mug]

All I come up with is stuff like this. I mean, I'm not usually this bad, but still. I never would've guessed this is your first try doing them that way.

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[She stops for a bit to look at it.]

... is that a bear?

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[He nods]

Yeah, I wanted to make a present for a friend.

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

For who?

[Aw, it's cute. Well. Depends on how badly he butchered the bear.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Have a Sparky looking over your shoulder, Namine. He'll be especially excited when he sees the pikachu drawing.]

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Teddie! He's coming to visit, so I thought I'd surprise him.

Only...well.

[His squiggly bear-mug]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[And that's two pokemon hanging over each of her shoulder, but she doesn't mind. She holds up her half finished pikachu one that just needs more color.]

What do you think?

[Video]

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, those are amazing!

[Here's Hikari, looking over at the pokégear and seeing the drawing of
Togekiss and Piplup.]

How long did it take you to get so good at drawing?

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Well...

[She'll study it. Is it that bad? Or actually pretty decent?]

As long as it was something you made, I think he'd appreciate it.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[It's probably fairly cute, but Ven thinks it's awful since with his cast on, he can't achieve any steady lines]

You think it'll be alright?

[Video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Oh, ...I usually spent most of my time drawing so... I suppose I'm really just used to it?

[Try drawing non-stop for almost two years.]

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I think so! It's kind of cute in its own way.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I hope he likes it then. Even after a few tries, this was my best one.

Re: [Video]

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Ah. You've been doing this all your life then? It really shows. If you had a background in there I could almost mistake the drawings for a photo.

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

You're injured, so it's kind of understandable.

[Video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Mm, sort of. It's.. one of the only things I could really do.

I haven't thought about it since these are just for practice. I want to see how well I could do them.

Re: [Video]

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Oh, so this is your first time drawing your pokémon then?

I've tried taking a couple of pictures... but then gave up. Most of mine won't stay still long enough for me to get good pictures.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Kachu!

[Thumbs up!]

[Video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Mhm. Usually it's people or backgrounds.

Maybe you can find something that will catch their attention and make them stand still?

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[She reaches over to pet him at that before continuing.]

Where's Roxas?

Re: [Video]

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Well, at least it looks like you're just as good at drawing pokémon!

And that's probably going to be a bit difficult. Six of them are still babies, it's hard to get most of them to focus on anything.
