<p>finally finished… i’m happy but my right hand is whining a little. well, it’s a tough luck to be born as a right hand attached to me. she has to work for me more and more. luckily, my left hand seems to know better…</p>
<p>it was a long day. i spent most of the time colouring the lobster. i found a photo of a lobster on google image. my desk is right next to my computer desk. so i was switching back and forth from my desk chair to the computer desk chair to check the colours and so on. the movement was exactly like a crab. i’m a cancerian. that explains a lot about my crabwise movement :D</p>
<p>i use a <a href="http://www.badbacks.com.au/images/products/Kneeling-Chair-1425-2_360.jpg">kneeling chair</a> when i draw. as the ad exclaims, “sit up straight and you’ll feel great!”. i might not be as cheerful as the model on the photo when i sit on the chair, but it certainly helps especially when i draw for a looooong time.</p>
<p><span style="color: #a8001c">UPDATE</span>: you can buy a postcard of this drawing <a href="http://www.plastiquemonkey.com/shop/animal-drawings-postcard-set-p-45.html">from my SHOP</a>.</p>
