Waiting Won't Change Anything

A little piece I worked on between and during classes, because it turned out I needed my tablet to take handwritten notes on my Microsoft OneNote class notes and who could resist doodling some stuff on SAI when time allows? XD

March will always be a weird month for me. It's got its perks, being the month to welcome spring in the northern hemisphere, the month to signal a new school year here in Korea, and also the month I was born in. I guess all of those are pretty nice, but the memories I have that are related to them are quite bittersweet and it's the main reason I always feel so full of emotion and nostalgia at this time of year. Especially since now that I'm in college, I'm starting to miss my old high school so much- the pretty school uniforms, my friends, my teachers, the school grounds, lunchtime, evening study hours, all those things that shaped my late adolescent years come back to me like a gigantic wave when spring breezes brush past. ;;v;; I know it's not very healthy, mulling over past things like that and even wishing to go back... but sometimes I can't help it, because I have to admit those were the happiest days of my life, despite all the aching memories of broken relationships and such//

Well anyway- whenever I think of my high school years, the first image that comes into my mind is the small but lovely garden /resting place beside the building. There's a few wooden structures encouraging vines to climb up, and over the years it's become a nice shade to rest under during the summer seasons. It's absolutely lovely during the spring too ///v/// Sometimes, when I imagine myself back in my younger years _{oh gosh that line makes me sound like an old granny hahah//lies down} I can see myself in the shade, waiting for a friend- or in a more abstract interpretation, my high school memories- to come join me. Thinking of such things makes me really happy but sad at the same time, and I end up contradicting myself XD

This piece actually took a lot of patience to do, because I usually rush through my art in order to capture the exact emotion or essence I was experiencing at the time XD I also thought that in order to improve my art, I should practice being more meticulous about my details and try using different brushes/textures to create a more varied feel to my art o v o Overall, I am uber satisfied with how the foliage turned out but I still gotta work on my human anatomy, haha// _{I wish our Human Anatomy and Physiology class would help me with my art skills, at least a little ;v; //sobs}

Just a heads up that I am also working on an OC piece in my spare time *v* Sorry for not drawing a lot of OCs lately, I'll try to stop doing conceptual/random original art XDDD
