saru.

more saru.

ah~~~.

…. i can’t help it.

saru… i’m a saru.

saru means “monkey”.

“watashi ha, saru desu. anata mo saru desuka?”
(i’m a monkey. are you a monkey too?)

i can’t wait to breastfeed poko-chan. i hope my milk is as tasty as a fresh apple.

i spend most of my waking time thinking about poko-chan and our life together as a family of three. i’m really looking forward to meeting poko-chan in seven weeks. people like to tell us horrible stories about giving birth or bringing up children. but i listen to them with a grain of salt. of course it will be difficult because we are new parents and poko-chan is new to the world, but i think our effort will be nothing compared to poko-chan trying to live.

like my dad always says, “you’ll forget about all the hard things that happened when you look at the angel face of your child”.

i like how the colour pencil pigments blend. it feels good.

i layered those colours about 10 times to get the result i wanted.
