Ahh god okay I definitely began on the full body drawing of Camille, but like... ooh I really didn't feel it. It's,,,,,,,,,,,fine,,,, but the proportions were just,,,,,awful. I find that when drawings aren't working out for me, it's best to simply start again on a different sheet of paper (mostly so you don't have to look at the old one lmao but also it's taking up the whole page this time so??). Anyway I know you guys all hope I've been drawing but.... I haven't. I really haven't. And I feel kinda awful about it—not because I'm "letting you guys down" or anything, I'm trying not to be sorry to my readers for not drawing and blame myself and all that, too many people do it and I don't want to get caught up in all that. I haven't been incredibly busy, just busy (and god, lazy) enough that I don't have time to sit down and really draw. I've been doing some nice lil table sketches (practicing eyes and mouths currently!) and that's all well and good, and honestly I almost have a page-full of little mouths, eyes, and hair strips that I've been doing over the past couple months (yesmonthsdontjudgeme). Anyway, the point of this chapter today is mostly to talk about stress And also because today is the last day of April and I do nOT want only oNE flower symbol set in this whole book because nO I must be conSISTENT :T Okay Back in topic So I've found that I've been really quite stressed lately, with an AP exam coming up (although I believe I'm feeling better about that eek) and all my other regular AP tests that keep coming up okayfinesoitsmostlyliterallyonlymyapclassthatisstressfulbutwhatever and with this stress, comes...
A powerful yen to make art
<what?> Yep.
. . . . .
<what??> Yep.
It's really nice, wanting to draw! The only trouble is,,, these are the late nights when I'm up studying for AP tests feeling like um crap and wanting it not to be quite so late and wanting not to be quite so tired Then the test passes, and I have an afternoon of freedom and—er, less stress, and suddenly, I can't motivate myself to draw. Instead I feel like lazing around, doing practically nothing and staying up just as late as I did the night before?? because why???
Well This is my dilemma And I realize you didn't care to read that And I realize you probably didn't read it But I just thought it was important to put these feelings on... screen? Whatever Paper
Now, to compensate for this awful chapter, I will post those doodles I mentioned:

Yeah don't mind the white patches
Um so these are just kind of different styles I've been trying and like If you see one you like? Maybe try a bit to restrain yourself from taking it?? I realize it's not "mine" or whatever but I might use them in the future and... to each our own... style
haha I'm not funny
Props to you if you know what the corner girl's showin I've been trying to learn to draw her so yeah that's what that is
Ooh! Also! I am so sorryyyy OrigamiDragon28 I know I know it's been weeeks or something but here is a simply horrid sketch that doesn't make up for the time it's taken me that kind of might help??

Ignore the lines in upper right hand corner, this is on the same page as the sketches above,
Okay okay this is kind of it?? The best ones are the bottom ones (bottom left really), kind of drippy but mostly holding its shape (not actually as consistently wiggly as the other bad examples) and um yeah I really hope that helps and if this doesn't help, if it makes you kinda die inside with all this withered anticipation of the quality level you were expecting I'm sorry and i will try again??? okay okay that's all
I hope you guys didn't die reading these 677 words bye
