Practicing Disney drawings

-
Believe it or not, I was inspired by POGO's Winnie The Pooh remix to make a Disney drawing.  x)  It's a very cute, relaxing, and child-like remix.

I don't know when I'll finish it but I'm hoping I get it done before the summer is over.  I started practicing again because my original style of drawing is anime/manga so when I attempt to draw Disney characters, their eyes are always larger than they should be; It's weird because everyone always talks about how big Disney character's eyes are. lol

I want to create a fanart where a few of the Disney child characters from England are all at a cafe or in any place where they'll be eating food.  I got the idea of the Disney characters from England because while listening to that Winnie the Pooh remix, I realized that Christopher Robin is from England and then so is Wendy, Alice, etc.  The cafe idea came from Maid Cafes in Japan.
Yes, MAID CAFES.

My sister got to go to one of these cafe's before me and omg, was I jealous!  I'm a bit more of a Japan fanatic compared to her so when she told me about this..... ah, I don't even want to go there.  She took lots of pictures and I saw the super kawaii desserts that they got to eat, which included this really adorable parfait that had an animal face on top of it.

So there you go, that is my inspiration for this fanart that I want to make.  I'll definitely post it on here and perhaps some work in progress (WIP) pics while I'm at it.

I'm starting with Alice because she's really adorable and I thought it would be a good place to start.

Here's my first attempt at drawing her.  And of course I used references~!  Did you think I drew her from memory? xP


I thought this was cool because I usually suck at drawing Disney characters and somehow she indeed looks like a legit Disney character!  You know how there's all those rules about how you have to draw them to get everything right from how the hair is drawn to how far apart the eyes should be...  I remember watching videos in the past of Disney animators talking about how to draw the characters and they're REALLY specific on how to draw them, doing measurements and everything.

I actually did make her eyes too big so all I had to do was shrink them a bit and viola!  She magically looked like how she should!  I was amazed at how much of a difference that small detail made.

Well, I hope whoever reads this likes this post.  I'm always blabbing about how I'm an artistic person but I never back it up with some of my artwork.  Hopefully this will help to credit my claims.

Thanks for reading & oyasumiiiiii!

@hershoutouts, no the cafe was actually in Japan. I don't remember where, I think it was either Shibuya or Akihabara.

I never got to go there yet... (T.T) Which is why I was so jealous~! xD

My sister described it as there were a lot of guys there (lol, pervs) and the maids would bring them their desserts and make some heart symbol with their hands and tell them to say "kawaii!".. Something like that.

Sadly I have not been to England or anywhere beyond Boston yet.

Thank you so much! It makes me really happy to know that someone likes them. :D
Okay, I'll try not to disappoint!

I don't know why, but I just found it very funny ;u; I'm going to search for the maid cafes on google now.

You're welcome! ^-^

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

-
Image
Hello again!  My apologies for taking so long to make another 'Anime Food' post.  Enjoy! During my childhood days of watching Pokemon, I would often see Brock cooking this white stew thing.  It would look so yummy but I had no idea what it was..  And even though my entire family and extended family was Japanese, none of them ever made something like this.  (T__T)  The closest thing I got was corn chowder. Only recently did I discover that it's called cream stew and luckily, it's quite the easy recipe. ^^ I remember the very first time I made this.  I used a cream stew mix pack from the store (the one that has the blocks that you melt in the pot).  That turned out pretty bad so I highly recommend people make this one from scratch.  It's really does taste so much better this way.  I'm lazy so instead of having the pretty diced pieces of carrot, I threw in some baby carrots.  XD Close up ;3 I found this recipe on Little Japan Mama's rec

Why does Lightning look so different in FFXIII Lightning Returns? [SPOILERS-!]

-

I finally finished the game Lightning Returns recently and zomg, why does her face look so different?  I mean, she looks like she got plastic surgery. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not criticizing the game in its entirety.  This is solely about the change in Lightning's hair and facial design.  The game play of Lightning Returns has nothing to do with this. :) I didn't really notice her face change until I beat the game and watched the ending CG animation scene.  (pic above is from the opening CG scene) I was a bit disappointed that the animators weren't consistent in her facial design, especially when it was so beautiful to begin with. Here's some compare/contrast pics I found. This one is of the CG animation for FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and FFXIII Lightning Returns. And here's the cutscene animation.  It's a bit more difficult to tell the difference in the cutscene animation unless you look closely. The hair

I dyed my hurr!: Kao Liese Bubble Hair Color, Milk Tea Brown

Don't make fun of my fingers, I already know they're short and fat! lol My hair is really stubborn.  No matter what hair dye I use to lighten it, the results are almost always the same.  Even when my hair is already lightened, it somehow still manages to retain that same coppery brown color... In this case, I seemed to have gotten the 'generic' result for "Dark color hair..." I dyed my virgin Asian black/dark brown hair and here are the results:   Window lighting. (Somehow this always alters the color)  Indirect daylight lighting  Bathroom lighting Box color to actual hair comparison in low light.  Seems like it was right after all.  xP On an everyday basis, my hair color looks like a cross between window lighting and indirect daylight lighting. I was honestly freaked out at first because my hair initially looked like it was slightly bleached orange.  But after a few days, it darkened down to what is is now.  I
