Fantastic image, and one I can relate to. I often go to bed and check the time on my phone, "okay, I'll get 6 hours sleep, that's okay..."
...
"okay, 5 hours, I can live with that..."
...
"FECKING HELL ONLY 2 HOURS TO SLEEP?!"
eheh. I really like this sketchey work you have, it seems more flowy, even though your lines are often angular giving a somewhat constricted and frustrated feel, but flowy as in a semi-concious calm feeling.
Nicely done :3

Oh maaaan, only 3 more hours?! How do you function!! This illustration makes me want to jump in bed right now, from fear I will be up at 4am with a 7am wakeup schedule. With as much schedule changing as I've had in the last 4 months I can relate well with this portrait of yours. I guess once you get used to a schedule like this you can do it... But I bet it really wears your body down. For the last two days I've really slept in, I also haven't stayed up late either. Woohoo! Go me! (lol I'm self-centred) I like how the ripples remind me of flame-like properties, as to say "only sleeping for 3 hours is like sleep on fire". You have an interesting way of making a thought bubble in this, the curves and corners are so elegant, like a smooth burning flame; or like oil flowing down a creek. Look at that soon to be bed-hair! I like the way you drew the waves and curls of your mop. The ripples in the imaginative bed sheets are amazing, same with your shirt too. Ah yes, don't you just love the dark rings around the eyes from sleep deprivation. Sleeping like this just makes me feel like a raccoon the next day. You've done an amazing piece of work with just pencil and a lucky old piece of paper. You really should get to making your own font!! I'm serious, your text is awesome! You've captured a tiring moment so well. Ace job!

That's amazing! Great pencil shading, and I love the design!
Where do you get the paper? Do you make it, or...? If you make it, how? 8D sorry for all the questions..<3

i find it. i go to a lot of house/rummage sales (and etc.) and look for old books... sometimes if the book is too much money i'll just rip out some blank pages when no one's looking. n stuff.

The hair and the "sleep shards" are definately my favorite parts of this piece. The face is very genuine, too. I wish I could shade like you! XD

Your drawing style is so beautiful. The linework looks very delicate, and like it was done with so much care. This is a very wonderful drawing... then again, all of yours are. ^_^ I really love it.
