Do you remember that semi final between Germany and Italy? Balotelli and stuff, get it?...
So yes, I cheer for the Germans. Just to inform any Hungarian who'd like to bring up 1954... I'd gladly cheer for my own country but somehow we just don't happen to be at these great football competitions. As soon as the Hungarian team will get in, I swear, I totally cheer for them, all up to the moment they get beaten in the first round.
Previously I didn't even see the point in watching it at all. I mean, let's be honest, if you don't find any team you can bind to, it is just differently dressed guys running on striped grass. Until one day my dear friend, Susi asked me:
– Hey, will you watch the world cup?
– No, I won't. Hungary couldn't make it so I don't really see the point.
– But if you had a friend whose country is playing... I mean... you could cheer for them, couldn't you?
– Yea, but I don't really have... wait a second... you're German, right?...
So from that point, I'm cheering for Germany. Now you know, and if you still have problems with it, well, “haters gonna hate”.

*kürbis gut = it's a loan translation of a Hungarian phrase which means “very cool” or something like that. Yea, I know that's not an actual German phrase, but it' just for fun.
So a little explanation for that one too. This drawing was obviously made before the semi-final, and I was just imagining the moment I go out to a public place – a pub or something – in my german-cheering-outfit to watch the Final... You know, in Hungary it's not a big tradition to cheer for Germany, nevertheless it is, to cheer for Spain – I have absolutely no idea why by the way. Unless, they want to choose a team that will most likely win, which doesn't seem to me any more reasonable than to cheer for your BGFF's (Best German Friend Forever) country's team.)

If you're experiencing that you can't find any of your female friends on Facebook any more, and also at the same time these weird, hell-knows-who-they-are names appeared in your friend list... If that is happening to you as well, then you are also in your 20s and/or have an awful lot of christian friends (no offense, but you know...) Now panic and freak out!

See how I don't hate you. I won't show you the link to this... um... song... so that it won't stuck in your head for eternety haunting you and coming up for every little impact like reading the words “They're” or seeing a picture of Napoleon.

Emese left our class. Well in fact she left Buda Drawing School itself. I think I “reacted relatively calmly” to the situation. For those who might not remember Emese – star of many less known Miramax movies about Adobe CS5 –, here, fill the gaps in your knowledge: Emese tag.

Truth be told he couldn't hold on his resistance for long. Next day he was all “okay then let's run just don't leave without me ever again” and stuff.

So for those who might have missed my summary of “what is past, what is now, and what is about to happen”...
“My most dedicated followers know that I skipped October. Which means if I
end the project exactly a year after I started, it won't contain 365
illustrations. There were some days in November and in December when I
did more than one drawing; annd there was a drawing in March of which I
did two versions… but it's still lacking 19 drawings. So in June I
decided to make 2 drawings per day for 19 days so that I can catch up.”

Like seriously, it took about the whole day to find a more or less tolerable one! And I couldn't even find one which respects baseline grid, not even one! Hah!
(And just to be absolutely fair I did not invent that fine thing with “at”, I stole it from Tamás. Sorry, but it was just so damn freakingly genius way to write these two letters in a single box.)

Yepp, it's true. I, Eliza, also known as Greatest Enemy Of All Sports finally knuckled under, and decided to start jogging. You know, that thing when you put your feet in sportshoes and pretend you are very tough by putting one after the other more quickly than you normally do. The thing you do to make yourself believe yes, you can become healthier, slimmer and generally HOTTER. It is like recieving compliments. For single girls. Only without the whole “being fancied” thing.

God is surely a loving God for taking so much crap from us people so patiently. Especially considering the huge gap between his knowledge and ours.

Summary of what is past, what is now and what is about to happen
What is past?
So as you might have noticed, my project is coming to its end. The blog header says “only till August 26th”, and since I'm posting drawings by exactly one-month delay, what it really means is that I'm doing it until July 26th. Yepp, I've started it on July 27th 2011 and gonna end exactly 365 (ookay, please be gracious and don't remind me that 2012 was a leap year and technically it should have been called 366 Illustration Project) days after its start.
the very first daily drawing from July 27th 2011
What is now?
We know that everything has its time. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot. Now it is the time of patience. And you know: “patience produces character, character produces hope.” (Romans 5,4) And hope won't decieve you, because I promise I'll post June drawings as soon as I'm able to scan them. For which I'm trying to find a way as soon as possible.
Until then I just beg your patience. Also I'll post some other drawings of mine here so that you won't get totally bored. :)
What is about to happen?
First of all, I'm gonna post those June drawings. And believe me, I'll make it up to you. Your patience will be rewarded by double amount of dailydrawings. My most dedicated followers know that I skipped October. Which means if I end the project exactly a year after I started, it won't contain 365 illustrations. There were some days in November and in December when I did more than one drawing; annd there was a drawing in March of which I did two versions… but it's still lacking 19 drawings. So in June I decided to make 2 drawings per day for 19 days so that I can catch up.
And after it? Well as you can guess, after it I start to post July drawings (hope I'll be able to scan them in time) until the whole project ends. But don't worry, the end of the project doesn't mean the end of the blog.
I have several plans which are not entirely clear right now, but there are some things I'm sure of.
#1 Time to slow down a little bit
One drawing per day is crazy, especially with drawings which needs that much work. I don't know how I was able to make it until now, but I do know that sometimes I wasn't and that the only way I was able to do them later was that I had no job.
So the new project will rather be a “few drawings a week project”. Which most of you won't mind anyway considering that according to the results of my poll (right sidebar) so far, most of my visitors come here only a few times a week.
#2 Time to change the task
This project was a very good way to practise stuff related to drawing and also to keep my brain trained for creativity. But the last few months I don't feel it's use anymore. I did so much of these that somehow it became a routine. I didn't learn anything new anymore. At least not from these.
So the new project will contain other various tasks like childrens' book illustrations (in which I'm gonna be able to bring those bears back too, remember, I promised), more naturalist drawings, more artistic stuff, typographical tasks, comic strips – just like original daily drawings too. Yes, you can stop worrying now, I keep doing these kind of drawings as well – even if less frequently. I know that many of you like them, and in fact, I like to do them as well (and I'm quite sure my brain won't be able to stop thinking them out anyway), so why should I stop it entirely.
#3 Time to keep what is good
Besides keeping 365IP-style drawings, I'll also keep some things. Like the themes. I got my themes from my life, and I found it a very good way to think out stuff in such a regular base. I know most of you wouldn't think so, but even those “creative minds” have problems thinking out something interesting. Restricting it to my life (and sometimes my friends lives) is a great help.
Okay, that's it for now, and I'm very proud of all of you who've read this. I know that if you have to scroll any further, your mouse wheel will probably seize, so I end it up here. Go have an icecream or run to the strand! It's summer afterall!
