Yeah, that’s about right.

I haven’t mentioned this here since I’m just starting with tumblr but I really hate illustrators.  Fucking stabbity in your eyes hate.  Why?   Pure, unadulterated jealousy.  That shit you do with lines.  Magic.  When I try to make lines it turns into shit so I lock myself in a dark room with silver compounds and let Science! do it for me. 

I’ve been told repeatedly that drawing is a learned skill.  They said the same thing about music yet despite not being tone deaf I’m rubbish at that too.  I love music and prefer it to be a mysterious process.  Same goes for the illustration thingie. 

This is Annie Wu who is too young to be this good.  Damn you talented people.
