some couple

I think the contrast in styles for this drawing worked out pretty well.

I wanted to try out some techniques I used before, again...

scholarship

Have you been reading this blog and wondering.. 'what does she look like?' 'how does her voice sound?' 'what does her living room look like?'
(probably not, I expect most of my readers are people who have met me or are my facebook friends...)
well, now you can find out!!!

This drawing is part of an animation in my video! (it's me! I'm wearing that exact outfit in the video)

I made this video for a competition held in my city district for young talent.
you can vote for me by sending an email to wiewintdebeurs2013@west.amsterdam.nl  in which you state your own name, adres and postal code, MY name (Laetitia Schafer) and the title of my video (Lae 178).
Voting is possible up to the third of September. 13/09/03!!
Please do do do vote, it would really help and then I can pretend I have fans!
and after sending your vote, you can forward it to me, and for each fifth vote, I'll make a drawing!

here's a reference drawing I made for my character

So actually I wasn't planning to reveal my face on this blog and remain 'mysterious' for a while. And if I was, I wanted to first give you an idea by showing you drawings others made of me. (yes, yes, there has been fanart made of me! okay, done by friends, not exactly fans...) But I had to wait too long for one of my friends to mail me a scan or picture.
That post WILL come though, some are really good (thanks, Ha <3), some funny and one is simply hilarious (Jinhwan.. I am treasuring that drawing!).

HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH GIRLS IN THE CLUB IN KOREA! *\(0_ __0)/* part two

So these are all based on how people tried to engage in social interaction with us in clubs in Korea. But I don't think these methods are typical for Korea, but hey, it's still interesting!

yup, there was an ahjussi inviting my friend and me to his friend's 40th birthday. in reality I was standing next to my friend, whispering 'no, no, no, say noooo.' while she was politely listening to that ahjussi.

Miscellaneous of Korea

These two illustrations are based on photos I took in Korea.

This one doesn't need much explanation, I think.

One Shot's

Another batch of One Shot's!

Actually, I'm not really sure about the order, I will look at that and then post them chronically on my other blog: https://laetitia178.wordpress.com/

there you can find the whole series of One Shot in good quality! (:

I also usually post a little description with my portraits on facebook, should I post those descriptions here too? let me know if you're interested.

busy Lae

I accidentally wrote 'a' and 'lot' a bit too close to each other.. but I do know it's 'a lot', 'alot' is something entirely different.  

I actually don't produce stuff that fast, well, not if it's stuff I was planning to make. The spontaneous stuff, like this, I usually make pretty quickly.

I should save these little comics in the future, so I can put up a lot at once each time, it feels kinda weird making a blog post only for one little doodle.

Meet my dad

this one's so realistic.. I even based my drawing of my dad on a picture of him lying on our couch, reading the Donald Duck. ;)

that was actually a day to be proud about for me. Dad visited and when he arrived, he asked me 'Have you bought any interesting comics that I might read lately?'

yes, we are equals now, lending comics to each other.

Bored

This is typically me.

yes! another comic in color!!

please comment: what do you prefer? black-n-white or color? I myself think that black-n-white ink looks nicer for these comics.

Really, there's so much stuff I want to do but just don't do. And not only 'useful' stuff like learning a language, also watching tv.. haha, there isn't ONE show I've watched until the end this year. (and there's a lot of shows I need to catch up to, so don't recommend me any!!) 

Probably because everything I do, I do in the evening. That's when I get active.

I draw in the evening, meet up with friends in the evening, watch movies in the evening, work in the evening. So obviously, that doesn't really fit. ;-p

(and think of stuff I could've done during the day.. oops.)

Now I have to watch out.. if this post will sound like I feel bad about those things, my family will talk to me about it. But don't worry, mum, I'm okay!

sooo, sampi nanti!

('kau bisa bicara bahasa Indonesia??'

'sedikit saja.')

walking with a phone

after a while, here's a new comic. this time it's in color! wooh wooh

Bojan

Bojan is a soccer player, but since I don't watch soccer, my first association was 'that sounds like Trojan.' 

and the '11' looked like a pause button, I think this does not need explanation. 

boys in Korea

so this is actually maybe a bit mean, but it was not meant in a mean manner... ;p

during our stay in Korea, every now and then some guys would some up and chat with us. We referred to them by characterizing them.

For instance, when one guy would talk to us while his friend waited, we'd discuss in Dutch: 

'So they probably decided that the one with a round face should talk to us because his English is better..?'

'But I heard the one with glasses talk too, they're the same.' 

'Then.. they regard him as the most handsome?'
