Da fudge. Don't know what's wrong with me. Instead of using these, brand new haven't used, bought at a local art store a couple weeks ago:

I used these, that I have had for like three years, that last year someone came over to draw and destroyed the fat one by blending with the very top and smashing the tip inward. They then stuck a pencil and started to twist it to make the tip come out again (btw that doesn't work) so now I have a fucked up stump-that I will still love, somehow. And the tall one isn't even straight because of how I grip the blending stump:

Whatever, this is Pompeii an OC that I had made a couple years ago.

The neck is weird I know, but I tried to work with a different perspective, er, position for a better word. Anyways, I did another da fudge too. So my dad and I were going to swim in two hours, and I said to him that I would only be drawing for about an hour, then playing basketball in the driveway until we swim. That worked, not. It took me almost two and a half hours and we still have to go swimming...oh well.
Yeah, and Pompeii is going to be featured in my book The Furlongs Ahead. If it is ever finished...trust me I'll try. I am currently working on like chapter 14 ish, and omg, I am still on rising action. I am just afraid that if I publish it, I will end up putting it on hold and then really never finishing it. Then changing the plot blah blah blah. Anyways, Pompeii is gonna shake the (fictional) racing world (I created) and is gonna rumble to...(find out in The Furlongs Ahead!)🐎

Hey, did you see what I did there? He's gonna shake and rumble...like the volcano did to Pompeii...? No, oh sorry for the bad and corny joke. I honestly don't take the city of Pompeii as a joke.
To cheer up the dampened mood, here is something from the book Artist Problems by -Bezana-:
