    Eva and Akashic Records Dream Drawing

    I wanted to do more drawings for this, but there's no point, it's just too boring.......................x.x I just want to find some other dream to draw, couldn't really do much with this one, since everything was faded out. Bleeeeeeeeeeh

    All I did was just use the gridding method to get the outlines right, because honestly, I'm not going to spend hours trying to freaking free hand all this crap.

    People think the gridding method is cheating, but just because you can free hand a bunch of lines doesn't really do much good for your ego. Anyone can draw lines, so what's the point in stressing yourself out on drawing lines, and then getting pissed for proportions not being right, blah blah....just grid it, erase it when you have the outlines, shade it, and you're done. Same thing you'll get....free-handing or whatever.

    I think that when you realize that, you'll enjoy drawing more, instead of it being "omfg0zr am I doing this right?"

    Everyone has their own opinion, but I'm using it to just save time...A LOT of time....outlines are probably the most important aspect in any drawing I guess of people, because if you can't get the lines right to make it look like the person, it's not going to look like them.


    But I will have to free-hand a lot eventually, I guess that should be a good thing, since I was actually better doing it free-handed...or not....I can't remember anymore xD

    Anyway, enough of that.

    Spoiler for Deviant Art Link:



    Spoiler for Eva and Akashic Records + Drawings:



    I guess that was okay for a first try, hopefully I'll get better, especially when drawing other figures :s

    Maybe that Stan Lee comic book might come in handy again! I remember doing a lot of figures when I was a kid based on a drawing book of his.

    And I really suck at looking serious....LOL...I keep laughing at how hard I was trying to be serious in those drawings XD

    I wonder what dream I'm going to draw next.


    And I need a haircut

      Love the drawings, Link. Although I did question why you had a smudged eye in the first one. Digging the contrast too.

      and an Exclamation mark appears on his head....
      Hahahaha, your anime logic kicking in XP

      He came so quick, that I couldn't even shoot him because my gun didn't even fire any bullets. He shoots Eva, I get fucking pissed, and the gun magically works, I shoot the hell out of the guy.
      I dunno if you notice this, but the more you demand something to work... say the gun here.... the chances of it working increases. That was nice to see.

      I completely forgot about her, and I turned around, but I couldn't do it quickly, everything was going slow, the dream is starting to fade, and this would've been the point where I would've been lucid, since I felt so much emotion in this dream.....
      Hey that's a pretty nice moment too. I know how much you've been working on building emotion in dreaming.... and here you finally achieved a full fantasy dream of your picking. You also followed along but your dream memory kicked in and reminded you that you forgot something.

      Look, you're getting what you wanted

      Although the entire idea of why Eva appeared the way she was is very subjective. You're imparting your own reasons for why she might appear the way she does without actually knowing why. Sometimes that can be distracting and lead you down other thought patterns which can largely influence the entire dream. Of course, it might not either. It just depends on how your brain works. Judgements tend to limiting.

      Although, if you just wrote it here to help build and image for us through your writing, that's entirely different. It's an after thought. Although, having those judgements during the writing process can influence how you ultimately process what you experienced in dreaming as well.

      That and it might not really matter that much to you. Although since dreams are experienced and stored in a similar manner as waking events... I find I like it better if I'm not placing my own judgements on what happens. I mean, I try. Granted it's not entirely possible to be completely objective (or maybe it is?) but it's at least something to be taken note of just for the awareness factor.

      I messed up when I was trying to draw out the outline, so I shaded that messed up part and hoped that it made me look more serious. Some person on Facebook said it made me have that "Don't mess with me" look.

      I still think I'm horrible at trying to draw myself though, I can never get both my eyes right for some reason >.<

      Hahahaha, your anime logic kicking in XP
      No it's just a MGS3 element that was in the dream (I deleted out that little explanation from the original entry so only the dream was focused on I guess.

      It just depends on how your brain works. Judgements tend to limiting.
      I guess, sometimes I have a feeling that the same person that shot her didn't really "shoot" her. Know what I mean? Like he would be some kind of double agent that would be on our side or something, and we would have a kick ass trio on our hands.

      But nah, probably not that way, hahahaha.

      Although, if you just wrote it here to help build and image for us through your writing, that's entirely different. It's an after thought. Although, having those judgements during the writing process can influence how you ultimately process what you experienced in dreaming as well.
      I think I understand what you're trying to say. You're trying to tell me that with emotions and recall, it might tempt me to over-exaggerate the drawings. Either way, I just want to try and remember something out of it, and it won't be skewed that much.

      But I'm not sure if you're questioning the drawing or the writing, or both. If it's just waking life thoughts coming in, I try to just put those in gray font and leave out the rest in blue.

      But what I'm interpreting from you is that I might push it a little too much because of judgement. Well, it's kind of hard to stoically write your dreams without feeling some kind of emotion that might slightly alter how you interpreted it, right?

      I don't really need to have some kind of enlightened journey to know why I'm trying to draw these dreams, it's just to help with locking in recall....even though you might not think that, it does for me.

      But again, maybe I'm not understanding what you're telling me.

      Granted it's not entirely possible to be completely objective (or maybe it is?) but it's at least something to be taken note of just for the awareness factor.
      I don't understand how this relates to the dream, but I remember this dream as a pure emotional fest, I was only following her, we didn't talk, so I didn't really have to think that much to form anything. All I had to do was look and follow, but it's when I screwed up by going out of balance with alerting the guards that screwed up how I viewed the dream.





      I'll just wait for your response, I think you're trying to tell me something, but my judgment is probably going to make me see it the other way around. >.>

      Heh, the only reference to the drawings was in my initial comment. Everything after that was based mainly on the part where you thought Eva had been abused and whatnot. I was commenting on how you're interpreting what you experience and bringing into question how you apply your own reasons as to what happened versus knowing what happened.

      For example: Eva appears dirty and in physical disarray. This would be a direct observation.

      "There's something odd about her, there's this type of loneliness within her, she looks degraded, used up, raped, or something...it was kind of sickening," <--- those are judgements and can lead to an emotional link set associated with this further down the road.

      It's not a big thing... it's just one of those things where you can either say, 'I see a square' vs 'I see something that has four equal sides'. You can experience the same thing in different ways depending on how you choose to see it. What I was inquiring about was if you thought that in the dream or as you were writing it.

      Although, I admit I'm just getting carried away here and it's really just all frivolous. It just seem like an interesting point of discussion initially.

      It's not really a big deal. Just one of those things to notice if that's something you're wanting to analyze.

      I will say I think the drawings are great. I have nothing critical to say about them at all.

      I'm sorry for misinterpreting what you said, thanks Kaomea.
