PapemelroticPAT ... New Year are both fast approaching! Hehehe. So you all know the drill: as long as there is food... *gestures "call me"* XD Nah, joking aside, would most likely be among those prepping food for both events this year. Unlike last year though, there... /2 11:42 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT Hmm, online training starts in an hour, so guess I could still write untold stories a bit more? Only remaining thing I could share for now related to work (kinda, since it is personal too) is: DUNDUNDUN, Valentine's Day and Chinese Spring Festival/Lunar... 11:33 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT At the end of it too, everyone was satisfied with their portrait sketches and agreed to send the guest artist sweets/desserts days later as further token of appreciation (hey, was not the only one who suggested it, swear XDD). All's well that ends well. :3 11:28 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... than mine. So there you go, the similarities? Human brains doing their human brain stuff with thought patterns and self-perception. XD /23 Overall, it was fun. Would probably do it again many years later, just to see how I realistically look like then. 11:24 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... honestly fixed myself up better (we can pretend my hair would comply, as if hahaha T_T), but normal. Felt self-conscious afterwards and did not open the sketch for a few days (that was a late upload, yup). Also thought others' looked much better... /22 11:18 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... with both co-teachers' and online messages/questions about my portrait sketch being I "look like a lady" or someone "royal/prim and proper" (with that hair + this attitude LMAOOOO? JK JK HAHAHA). Personally, I think I look okay there, could have... /21 11:15 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT Not really about being "more beautiful" or "favored", when honestly, there is usually more logical factors at play. The guest artist is as professional as they can be too. Lastly, it is the usual trope of self-perception too: for example, I disagree... /20 11:11 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... sketch in real time such as that one. Forgot the details mentioned about it, but generally, being that expressive/animated is good for friendly interactions, yes, but does "not do much favors when capturing one's true appearance in live sketching." /19 11:06 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... how I mentioned they were mostly chatting non-stop with the guest artist, with some even joking around or teasing them? Most would even smile OR smile in static as their pose for the portrait sketch. THESE contribute too, especially when it is a... /18 11:03 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... already laid out [as one of the reasons: again, simply hair type and texture]. This might sound ignorant of me lol, but might nerd out a bit because since I am no artist, I genuinely enjoyed learning about these reasons lololol. Second: remember... /17 11:00 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT Because my co-teachers were lightly joking around and poking fun at how it was "unfair" that I was "sketched like that". However, there are actually more realistic and boring reasons as to WHY, which both OP's message and the guest artist's comments... /16 10:58 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT Which brings me to my next point too: while of course grateful that they found the sketch fun to do---which DOES explain why it looks "alive" or "well-done" as per everyone's synonymous feedback---learned that it is not really being biased or anything. /15 10:53 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... all similar (artists preferring to illustrate straight or only slightly wavy hair + full fringe bangs/with bangs, for example), both OP here (whom the message is from) and our guest artist then seem to have the same opinions, I guess? Interesting! /14 10:50 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... well, even the hair strands sticking out and the chaotic curls of it all LMAO. And that message is actually accurate too, yup: the artist did say they enjoyed figuring out + drawing the texture! That was spot-on haha. Now while other artists are... /13 10:44 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... no hair gloss was applied. Or when you brush it more than once/twice a day (curly hair explodes somehow lol, I swear T_T). Anyway, agree that it seemed quite the highlight of the sketch no? Really impressed me how they were able to capture it so... /12 10:41 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... too (wildness of the curls LMAOOO) because it was a half-day then, sure, but still after work hahaha. Not going to defend much of my hair type/texture though, because it typically looks like it was electrocuted or something whenever waking up or... /11 10:38 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... say, actual actions + fulfillment of completion taken... when I totally CAN too. Hence why the portrait sketch from weeks ago also turned out like that: untied my hair and let it be as messy as it really is, for the most part. Probably increased... /10 10:33 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... were gone when I was finally sketched weeks ago---actually, while lessened, it was STILL there, hence the initial awkwardness + hesitation to even proceed. However, considering my age too hahaha, really do NOT want to live with more regrets than... /9 10:30 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... like to see how I do appear REALISTICALLY, and also to portrait artists like these, then of course keep mementos of it. Because having been sketched NOW, it is quite the valuable experience for me. Very fond of it. That does NOT mean insecurities... /8 10:28 PM Jan 25th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... insisted that I would only watch and wait for my cousin being drawn instead of being a muse as well. It might seem shallow, but in later years, always felt a tiny pang of regret and foolishness for refusing that, you know? Because would genuinely... /7 10:24 PM Jan 25th from web
