New favorite website! Not that I really had a specific favorite before, but I think I have one now: sketch.odopod.com This site is SO much fun. You just sit there and sketch… whatever the hell you want. The canvas is your browser window (Want a smaller size? Shrink the window!), the brush your mouse or trackpad. Or in my case, this site made me bust out my Wacom Intuos Tablet and play for a few hours. :P

Things I love about this site, is the textured background. It has that grainy paper feel that just gives it that little bit of realism rather than the obviously generated, perfectly white computer screen you get most of the time. Another thing I love, is the texture of the colors. I can’t decide if it’s like marker or like chalk. But the properties of the utensil (whatever it’s supposed to be) are very intuitive, with slower motion bringing it to a smaller point for detail work, and the fattest width when you scribble quickly. The other thing I love is the limited palette. Whoever made the color choice, made it very interesting. The colors aren’t loud or vivid and they all work very well together. It gives every users work just a little bit of professionalism because it takes away any garishly bright colors your average 14 year old would first pick.

Overall, I love the Indie feel of this site. I just don’t know what it is about it other than the above mentioned that makes it so homey. Great job Odosketch creators! Check out my sketches!

So in my last shopping trip with my best friend (who quite possibly deserves a backstory of her own in a post someday), I covered a few things on my list of goals.

#30. Get a pair of nice shoes.
#54. Find eye shadow colors that work for me and how to make it look good.
#75. Buy real bras that fit me.

Well number thirty can be proven here, with pictures of my adorable white wedge heels:

Fifty-four and sevety-five you’ll just have to take my word on. I don’t (and won’t) have picture proof on those most likely. Haha. But I did find some lovely brown/coppery/gold eye shadows to contrast my blue/grey eyes. I can’t quite say I’m at the point of practice where it looks awesome, but I’m just going to say that comes with some time and check this off anyways. And then of course, I found a few cute bras that I love! Defeinitely gonna need to do bra shopping again, just cuz it’s so fun!!
