Pre-Artwork (Not a Lesson :P)

It's tough being a student and a teacher during one's last year in HS but it's paying off. :) I really enjoy it and starting next semester I will get double the amount of time to do it. (Hurray!) Anyways I thought it would be funny to let you see what my work looks like when I'm not rushed. Here are the "prototypes" of Will and Mochiko. (nihonGO's Mascots... I waited until we learned ひりがな to introduce them to you...because I wanted you to see their names in Japanese.)

• もちこさん

She had blue eyes and brown hair? lol wut?

• ウィルさん (うぃるさん)

...Yeah...I don't think he even remind me of Will. XD

I decided to make them into チビ (chibi, aka really small and cute) because it took much less time to draw. XD It's one thing to make a lesson, a recording and then to blog it, but with drawing full pictures it would have taken me a whole day to make a lesson -- and I am a senior so I can't afford to do that. (It now takes me an hour to record a lesson, 45 min. to create a lesson and I spend another 30 minutes doodling FYI. It was much higher when I started. XD)

Well you will be seeing these...well their alpha-designs..of these characters a lot more often starting from lessons 19 onward. ^0^
