Casual MEME

Description

I've made a meme this time.
Some photos and informations if you're interested :aww:

Ok, here we go:


1) Jacobs sketchbook and diary:

a) my sketchbook,
this is my very personal sketchbook and I use it also as a diary sometimes. I write diary mostly at pc and at cell phone
but from time to time I use paper notebook too. Writing traditionally is a bit slower and more delicate, it can be relaxing
if we dont write in a hurry.
Anyway I more draw then write in this notebook. As you can see notebook have a spiral part on left edge - I like
notebooks with that spiral part the most. They're perfect for drawing becouse they have perfectly flat surface and
they're not closing by itself.

b) an example of drawing from my sketchbook,
(thats how my Yoko will look in the future ^_^ )

c) chibies,
I drawn them from tutorial videos. Its a great excercise and also great fun. Chibies are comfortable.

d) drawing a stick figure to make Hatsune Miku,

e) an example page from sketchbook,

f) again, drawing a pose starting from a stick figure,
Its a very useful technic.



2) a current photo of me:

g) and here you can see an ugleh me :)
I made that photo 2 days ago so this is how I look right now.
I could made better photo, I never can do a nice smile in front of camera x_x



3) things which I like:

h) my cell,
And this is the most important thing which I own, my great cell phone. Its a Nokia Asha 205 and its the best cell phone
I ever had. For me its just perfect.
I write my diary on it, I watch videos, I take photo, I write down advices about drawing, ideas for next arts and so on...
I write down short stories and imaginations which I create in mind. This cell phone is a very important device of my art
world.
I have bought also a 16gb memory card so I have a plenty of memory space. And I have here anime episodes, game
videos, car photos, arts, Vocaloid videoclips, Mr Bean funny videoclip and a lot, alot of drawing videos.
Most of time I watch how-to-draw lessons videos and drawing videos at this cell phone. In this way I learn many new
things and I get a lot of inspiration to draw. I make printscreens when I seen something interesting in drawing video and
in this way I have a reminder to draw something like that too.
This cell phone have QWERTY keyboard and very recommend it to you. If you type a lot at cell phone like me, then
QWERTY keyboard cell phone is a perfect choice. At the beginning it can feel a bit different but with time you will get use
to it and you will be able to type very quickly. Right now my thumbs jump on keys very quickly and I write down all data
quickly. I can also type at this cell phone without looking on keys, just like at pc.
Standard cell phone keyboard is a pain if we type really much, this one is perfect.

i) a Sherlock Holmes books,
I very like to read them. I'm a fan of Sherlock Holmes, he is one of my idols ^_^

j) playing cards,
Its interesting thing about them. I like playing cards, I like poker but I hate gamble.
I never played for money and I never will. I dont like the idea to risk our money in a game.
But its also possible to play without money, just for fun. Poker, cards without money its a sport - something very cool.
When we play for money then its a gamble, a hazard - something what I very dont like.
So I like cards but never for money, only for sport and fun.
And when I'm mentally tired then I like to take whole set of playing cards and I just move them randomally. It always
calm me down. I stop to think, I breathe comfortably and I just change the apperance of cards, I shuffle them. It
always calm me down.

k) a lot of tea,
I love tea, I drink it almost everyday. Ive tried many types and there is many types which I like.
My favourite types are: green tea (sugarfree), Earl Grey, Assam, Yunnan, Bangalore Palace, English Breakfest and
more...
Drinking the same kind of tea everyday by many weeks would be boring. I like to change flavours from time to time.
Sometimes I like to add mint, sometimes lemon and sometimes just a classic tea. Also every kind of tea remind me
something, recall nice imaginations.
For example English Breakfest remind me Sherlock Holmes books. Its becouse I was reading the book with fascination
and in breaks of reading I was drinking that type of tea. So when I'm in professional mood and I want to learn then I
drink my "Sherlock Holmes" Enlighs Breakfest tea :) I can see in my imagination the apartment where Holmes live, I can
see that he is playing the violin (he put his emotions into the violin. The music he plays depends from his mood). I can
see something like Steampunk Britain and that tea is just perfect to that imagination.
"Yunnan" is a very good black tea, it remind me atmosphere of China. Becouse its a very popular Chinesee tea.
'Irish Cream' its a black tea with flavour of Irish Whiskey (it dont have real alcohol, only the flavour) and when I drink it
then I imagine an old world, something like Steampunk, a town, grey cold day and a tavern full of people. Sound of
conversations, wooden floor and tables, meals and drinks, fishermans, old people spending time in tavern, that
Irish/English atmosphere. So nice ^_^
White tea. I bought it once. It remind me Gundam Seed anime about mechas. I think I was watching that anime and I
was very interested in it when I bought that tea. When I tried that tea first time then I though its horrible, I fell sorry
that I wasted my money for so not tasty tea. But with every next mug I liked it a bit more and more. And when I
drunk last one teabag of white tea then I fell sorry its over already xD
Red tea - I really hate that tea. I bought it once and it was just horrible. Its actually only one type of tea which I dont
like.
As you can see on photo I have even strawberry tea. We need to keep it in hot water long time, whole 8 minutes. But
its really tasty. Very different then other teas. I reminded that I told one of my penfriends that I'll send her some
strawberry tea and I havent done it, I forgot ^^' Sorry Raquel xD

l) a brick game,
They were very popular when I was a kid. In those times electronics were very expensive. Computers, laptops, cell
phones, digital cameras and also handheld consoles like Gameboy were very expensive and only rarely kids were able to
have them.
Those brick games were cheap and they were offering some fun too. Classic games like Tetris, Arkanoid, Snake, Space
Invaders, that simple game about tanks...
I bought that game again few months ago. Actually its boring if we play it a lot. But from time to time I have a mood
and then I switch off thinking and just press buttons.
And later I complain on myself in my diary that I was wasting time on playing games. I should to draw becouse its what
I love the most. Time which I spend on games I feel like its a bit of wasted time. Anyway sometimes I'm mentally tired
and video games are good way to switch of the brain, lol

m) my steel mug,
Its looks bad but its very handy and I very like it. My mom all the time laugh from me that I have a "prison mug", lol.
I call this mug the "mug of Bear Grylls", becouse its remind me a famous traveler Bear Grylls. Expert of survival skills
and person who climbed on Mount Everest. He use similar steel mug on his travels.
When I catch travelling mood then I put my steel mug on oven and I cook some kind of soup xD I put in what I'll find
in kitchen - onions, spices, rice or noodles, leftovers from dinner... And sometimes its even possible to eat xD

n) pocket calculator,
This calculator is the first thing in my life which I've bought for money which I earned by myself. I like calculators, I like
to count especially per cents - the future status of our investment.
If we have some money and we dont need it right now then its good to put it to bank, they will grown up a bit instead
of only wait in home. Thats what I like to count the most on calculator - how much my savings will grown up in bank
after some time ^_^

o) cycling gloves,
Winter is my favourite season. I always have a lot of motivation to draw and learn during winter. Its so cold outside, its
snowing, its white everywhere and Jacob is sitting in warm kitchen, drink hot tea and draw ^_^ Lovely atmosphere.
But there is one thing which I miss very strongly during winters, its cycling >_<
I love winters but I really miss cycling, my poor bicycle is waiting in basement and I wont be able to use it at least 3 or 4
of months more.

p) peanuts,
I love peanuts. They're delicious, they're sugarfree, they support work of brain. I like their taste, I like the sound when
opening the peanut, that cracking sound.
I had a problem with eating to much of sugar - sweets, sugared tea and so on... I was eating sugat to easly.
When I eat to much of sugar then I get a feeling which I really hate, I call that feeling a "sugar rush". I feel like I have
to many calories in me, to much of energy, I cant sit quietly and calmly, I feel kind of hot and in a hurry, stressed - I
really dont like that feeling. Then its hard to sit and learn, to draw and do all calm and slow activities. Calm and quiet
moods are my favs, they're also perfect to draw. "Sugar rush" is something opposite then calm mood.
In this year I do my best to eat not much of sugar (its one of my New Year resolutions). I avoid sugar pretty well this
year ^_^
Peanuts are a great substitue for sugar. Peanuts are suagrfree (those natural, real peanuts (becouse there are other
types: peanuts in honey, in chips, in sugar cover... I like the most those classic real peanuts and without salt)). I can
enjoy peanuts when I've mood to eat something and I'm 100% sure that I will not get that "sugar rush". I know that
I'll stay calm and also I just like the taste of peanuts.
Peanuts are candies of nature ^_^
Peanuts for president xD



3) Gifts:
From time to time I receive beautiful drawings from my penfriends. And sometimes I even receive a present by mail.
Its so nice. I love to receive presents :aww: But even more I like to give presents then to receive them. Serously.
Giving somebody a nice present, making somebody happy feels great. It gives me always so much of satisfaction.

r) this beautiful mug I received as a present from my penfriend :iconjariusgargoyle:
I very like it. Its in my fav colors and it feels so nice to drink from it. It remind me atmosphere Chicago which we can
see in movies. I work so much with my imagination ^_^ I guess its normal for artists. Imagination is such a great
playground.

s) this beautiful frame with sewn art is my birthday present which I received from my friend Ula. Its so beautiful and
warm. Such a lovely present :aww:

t) again. My friend Ula made it alone for my birthday. Sometimes I forgot there are forms of art different then drawing.
I have no idea how to make a sewn material like that. It feels so different then pixels on screen.
Anyway I more like to make pixels, since I'm not worse in it (I hope xD )

u) a photo which I made 2 days ago. Its a view from room where I sleep (I cant say it my room becouse I dont have
own room. I share room with younger brother. I dream about privacy).
As you can see we have real, snowy winter. Snow fell very very late this winter. Most of winter was grey like autumn.
But finally we have snow, so nice :snowflake:
In the past all those buildings where grey and looking old like from 80's. But one day town authorities started renovation
of all blocks and they've done great work. Only change of colors and whole street looks way modern. Art are powerful.

w) weather station,
This thing show basic weather statistics. As you can see we have under zero temperature outside, -4 degrees. So not
very cold but cold enough for snow. Weather forecast were scarying of very low temperatures like -30. But we have -4
only. Long time weather forecast are not very precise, its obvious.

x) its a screenshot of my desktop,
Ive so much of folders, notes, reminders... I should to clean it up a bit but I have no mood for that right now. I'll do it
tomorrow xD

y) the wallpaper of my desktop without folders,
Its a wallpaper from Puyo Puyo Fever game which I very like. I couldnt find any HD wallpaper so I downloaded a
standard one and modified it quickly to match to our LCD.



And thats all for that meme ^_^
So good, I was running out of letters in alphabet xD

If you have any questions to Jacob then please ask.
Jacob the truth will tell you :aww:

See you, have a nice week :wave:

Tyle opisu! :heart: Uwielbiam czytać takie rzeczy; jak dla innych to może być nudne, dla mnie jest to bardzo ciekawe, bo wtedy wiem tyle o tobie. ^^ Czasem mam chęć na to, aby zrobić coś w podobnego do tego meme; moje stanowisko, prywatne półki i takie.
Bardzo się cieszę, że kubek Ci się spodobał. ^o^ Szczerze, jak ujrzałam go w gablotce, to wiedziałam, iż to będzie idealny prezent dla ciebie. Co do stalowego kubka, zawsze chciałam mieć taki; wbrew wrażeniom, jest naprawdę przydatny i pojemny. Wiem, gdyż kiedyś ze znajomymi piłam z niego herbatę na ognisku. :D
Przyznam, że sama trzymam mnóstwo herbaty u siebie; najchętniej bym jeszcze kupiła mały czajnik elektryczny, mogłabym parzyć herbatę u siebie w pokoju. Tak to niestety, muszę chodzić do kuchni.
Brick game doskonale pamiętam; takie małe cudeńko też wiele razy ratowało w opresji, kiedy musiałam czymś zabić czas, a gierki... najlepsze wręcz! Szkoda, że moją konsolkę zalała woda. :< 
A co do pulpitu, nie lubię, kiedy właśnie tak tyle jest na nim, po prostu zaraz gubię się. XD
