ok thank you!

oh yea i know sengoku nabe tv but i didnt know hiroki did another one besides the duo w/ ryouta. were those the only 2 “groups” he did?

even the beginning is cute LMAO also where is this from?

Oh!! This is from Sengoku Nabe TV (戦国鍋TV). The show already ended but from what i get it was a parody-like of japanese historical characters being idols. There is a music video for each "idol group", they are mostly guys but there is also 2 groups of only girls. Oh yeah and there were two big concerts were all of them performed, the last one was in 2013.

its okay! I think that feeling is pretty much universal (me and my friends are going through the same thing.. its really tough) i was pretty much on the same boat 

i think a sketchbook helps! just keep drawing and drawing ^^ start with technical stuff until you feel more confident to execute your ideas (going to an art teacher can also help bc they can give you advice) i have a list of sketchbook prompts that i can always refer to

making a college portfolio can be intimidating but its important to just keep drawing! colleges want to see YOU so anything you draw can be put into your college portfolio (ofc theres stuff that you cant put in like fanart, etc)

its also good to find your passion.. read the news to find an issue that you feel strongly about and just make art out of it! i use environment and media to inspire me (im now doing a piece on the drought in california.. also im doing another on the empty consumption of our modern-day society.. im doing like 5 different projects rn that none of them ive finished jfc) 

wahh thanks so much you deserve a thousand hugs :'))

1.) thats a hard one! ive drew stuff since i was a small kid just tracing stuff from manga books and wasting watercolor painting orange-skinned magical girls idk it goes way back

2.) yeah ive taken art classes! ive been to technical art classes (practicing color pencil/sketching/oil/charcoal) but now im taking a more concept-driven art class (more sculputral and utilizing unconventional materials to create pieces rather than traditional pencil and paint) to help me build a college portfolio

3.) i used to bring my sketchbook EVERYWHERE because i had no access to a computer (now that its summer break i stay home all the time so i draw digitally) but probably when school starts ill start bringing it to draw in class (haha im a terrible student)

4.) !!! when im in an art block i do technical stuff (studies of photographs, different techniques, other artists styles, etc.) until i come up with a good art idea that im willing to spend time on. i never keep my hands idling ^^ always draw something no matter what!
