Hello there, I'm Steven but I sometimes go by my internet name 00Stevo or 0taku. I live on the east coast of Australia and I'm currently unemployed but am spending time doing this comic. I started drawing back in 2013 not long after watching Nichijou and realising, 'Hey I could draw like this'. From there I wrote a fanfic for said series. In September of the same year I started jotting down Ideas for the soon to be named 'Essence of life' as my skilled improved in 2014, I decided to do a 'test run' of making and producing a web comic using my Nichijou fanfic as the basis. As I drew what became know as 'The Baka and the Prankster'. I also worked and typing the script for Essence of life, creating designs, profiles and backgrounds for characters. I drew the first 9 pages of Essence of Life in January before deciding to wait until after I finished drawing TBaTP which was March the following year. Then in June of 2015 I officially launched 'Essence of life'.

Finally found time to go back and colour my favourite day from when I did inktober last year. Took awhile to get around to doing but I love the turn out. Had fun doing it to as it was the first time in a while I've done drawing that wasn't for my comic.

I'm thinking about changing afew of the hairstyles for the cast, not for plot reasons. Just because people do change their hairstyle so I thought It might work.

Anyone know of any tips/guide on improving 'shakiness' when drawing?
