heles, (also First Grade
Earth Operator of Yggdrasil System) has a very nice relationship with pencils.
She uses them to take notes on medicine classes, to draft a tale on books'
pages edges or to skecth a horse once in a while. She's been drawing since
a very early age and she's developed a peculiar taste for the 'unfinished'
and the 'undefined'. As a consequence she prefers sketches to complete
and refined drawings. Differently from the other authors on this page she's
not used to manga style, and "penciling" through it just causes her nose
to warp. As she first got to Goddesses thanks to Mr.
Fujishima's work, she tried to handle their manga fit, but she gave
up quite soon, and backed to her own naturla and unbound style.

These two drawings are the
fruit of the experiment heles set up to avoid the boredom of a Physiology
lesson. In fact, they were both sketched on the back of the magnificient
Kandel's Principles of Neurophysiology xeroxed index (note: quiet, she
xeroxed the index only, but she has the real book!). It was also her first
attempt to manga drawing style, so considered the means +zero experience
the result is not bad.
heles
got 'vexed like a prune' , as she says, and the first Belldandy's
portrait 'shoulda never had a left eye'.
Later (past the class) she went straight to the
second, attempting a typical Belldandy's expression, on the tune of Bells
for Her*. |

Second match in the challenge, heles chose Urd
this time. She drew her oval face, left it empty, traced the complex waves
of her hair. She then put the eyes in ('their slim shape'),
nose , markings but when she came to the lips, she could not be satisfied
with aa mere short line. So she gave a twist on them, with the result that
manga-style was half-shaped and half-crumbed.

heles
didn't draw Goddesses for awhile. She says she somehow lost interst
in drawing for a period, for no particular reason at all. Then one day
I find her with the deared black pencil in her hand and that sly look on
her face. 'Look' she says and turns me a sheet.
On it, there's just a woman's face, wearing pride on her features and
hawke feathers in her har. 'heva' heles says and smiles and quickly
draws markings on the woman's forehead, nose and cheeks 'now
it's Urd'.
And you know what? She's right.

I figure that after hearing my mournings about
how the Earth Helper Goddes is scarcely considered
'artworth', and seeing me so frusterated about this, heles, sweet girl
she is, decided to sketch these and make me happy.
She did. |
|
|
These two first were supposed to be sketches only
but I grabbed them off heles' hands, cause I liked them first, and second
reason is that they catch my forms and features better than any other [see
below]. |
|
She's not much satisfied with this one. Cause
she wamted to make it truly resembling but I guess the conscious
process tricked her off road. |
|
So heles comes and asks me 'tell me something
about Belldandy'. She wants to draw her but she can't find a classical
and at the same time original pose. She's not seen Belldandy around
much so I see for her it's hard to guess without falling in a clichè.
So I tell her: there's one single pose I most frequentely find Belldandy
wear. That's when I come and sister grabs me: she says 'ssssht...she's
charging...' |
