Last night I remembered I'd wanted to work on the character designs, so I drew a line drawing of my hippie character, gave her curly hair and named her 
Dahlia, which is a kind of flower named after a dead Swedish botanist: one Anders Dahl.  After I finished, I copied the image with my amazing Hewlett Packard OfficeJet G55 printer/scanner/copier and coloured her in with coloured pencils.
I also drew & coloured the side view and then went to bed.  This morning I drew & coloured the angry, sad, & chibi Dahlias while making sure Nora didn't die.  [She was chundering all morning & had a temperature of 104.  Well, okay, so I wasn't really making sure she didn't die, but Mutti told me to sit by her and get her anything if she needed it.  Of course she fell asleep, so I had nothing better to do than colour.]
Later today, I scanned the line drawing and CGed it with Photoshop.  My first ever photoshop CG!  Well, except for one I did a long time ago with a trial version that I COULDN'T SAVE BECAUSE THE STUPID THING WOULDN'T LET ME.  h8h8h8h8h8h8.  Er, anyway.  I was excited to CG because I had the opportunity to finally use this  
tutorial.  I've been so jealous of that girl's CGing skillz for ages, but I couldn't use that tutorial because I have PSP, which just isn't the same.  But now that I've illegally downloaded Photoshop, all is right with the world.  Huzzah.
