Discovered through trial and error process that drawing simple tears in manga recreation/cosplay, especially in this context of Lilico's hysterical laughing-crying scene in the manga, does NOT work at all. Drew normal tears on myself first, but... 3.10/๐

Meh, will continue the cosplay thread for now, because I really feel like my theatre background does not need elaboration any more than a simple mention or two (later). XD So, on to another thing I have learned: how to draw---and NOT draw---tears! 3.9/๐

Nakalimutan pala i-mention nung nakaraan, pinanapanuod namin during dinner ay 'yung limited YouTube upload ng Moriarty The Patriot The Musical: The British Scandal Reprise. Salamat po uli sa consistent updates! :"> Pero ngayong week, baka TEKKEN naman...?
