Mail Motherf*cker!

Who knows which movie this is from? ;D

This deserves another post and a thanks to my awesome girlfriend for going behind my back to secretly send me these which I promise to try and use more in the near future. :3

Making some coffee today and checking the usual Steem related stuff I check first thing in the morning my roommate sends me a text saying I've got mail. This is strange as I don't usually get mail and if I do it's something unimportant that doesn't need to be mentioned by the roommate. He tells me where it is so I go and check to see a package with that creepy Amazon smile on it, now I'm like wtf I haven't ordered shit.

Turns out, a Steemian had gone behind my back for weeks to my roommate about buying me a gift! How dare they surprise me with something I've been mentioning I lack! This is ridiculous! Jokes aside I had no idea when opening the package what it was, I asked my roommate if he's the one that has ordered something and he just goes "nope", then I'm like okay I'm too curious to continue asking questions so I open it up and am surprised by some drawing and painting materials that I feel really unqualified for! :O

My roommate let's me know who was behind this surprise and I go onto discord to spam them, I think one of my messages was "it feels like someone bought me a new Lambo but I don't know how to drive". I am super thankful for the gift, though, seems like it came at a good timing as well as I was letting the gaming nerd in me get the best of me with the Gods Unchained hype lately so this will be a good time to go back to drawing and failing at making anything look good as I have no experience in waterbased colors. It's going to be fun to try though and I hope the Steemian is prepared that my first works are going to look like a person with Parkinson's was attempting to draw while on a spaceship during launch. Anyway, thank you so much for the amazing gift, the thought behind it and the effort to surprise me with it, must have not been easy keeping it a secret since we talk daily. :P

Now the reason I wanted to post about this is to ask my followers and artists who may have a lot more experience of some starter advice, mainly what I should attempt to draw, some good references or ideas you may have. I personally enjoy drawing anime the most and putting use to the fineliners as well and coloring is something I have never done before really so that's gonna be a fun trial and error experience. Thinking I may take a pic of everything before I attempt coloring them but my phone has a cracked camera screen right now so I have to keep bugging my roommate about taking pics thus the lack of progression pics on my previous drawing posts.

Anyway, give me your opinions!

I may have an idea for something #newsteem related that I may give a go but will gladly take some more suggestions in the meantime!
