Description Colouring practice, hell yeah I actually wanted to quickpaint it with other Netherlands sketches I doodled recently, but ended up sticking to this one for too long. It's the first coloured picture I made in a year and the first one I made in Sai, I'm so happy It's not perfect, but aside from crappy background, I greatly enjoyed making it.

If I knew I would end up colouring it for so long, I would choose a less crappy doodle =.= There's definitely something wrong with Belgium's arm, but eh.
In case you were wondering, Belgium is holding her hair up, so Netherlands could tie her ribbon (and apparently he's not happy with how it looks and want to untie it and make it again, that's why he's holding those two ends). Oh and Belgium, since when is your hair curly, huh? I swear I wasn't planning it DDDD: Also, I purposefully left his hair without this stylish, Edward Cullen hairstyle, just to show he's younger (young smoker, omg).
I think Holly must really adore his little sister for being a ribbon-lover, with his lolita complex and all

So yeah, I know these two didn't really spend that much time together during their younger years, but this was just a random picture I felt like drawing, don't look for logic here >.>

Special dedication goes to , since I actually started colouring it to cheer her up a bit, after last football match.


Belgium, Netherlands (c) Himaruya Hidekaz

EDIT: I've forgotten to mention that I don't know all that much about Belgium and if any Belgian or Belgium lover would be kind enough to share some information I'd be really really grateful ^_^ And will draw even more Belgium . (Of course I can read a book and I will, but it's nothing like talking to someone who actually knows it).

(pffffft the artist's comment made me go awwwwwwwwwww ♥ you're so sweet, d'awww )

THIS IS SO CUTE I love it when people show the hetalia characters.. being actual siblings instead of turning everything into a sausagefest, you know? and NL-BE are pretty much my favourite siblings so this really made me go awwwwww even more

you did great on the colouring ♥ SAI's life changing once you get the hang of it, no? XD -loves it almost as much as photoshop- -and yes, that's a lot XD-

pfffffft NL's hair isn't like Edward's DX okay it is but... I like to believe it's inspired by tulips because it looks like them in some official pictures XD; also hetalia!NL looks A LOT like one of the Oranje players, including his hairstyle, so I'm guessing it's inspired by him seeing how the first picture Himaruya drew of NL was in a football uniform and all.. so no, no Edward. Please. XD

and.. I live ten minutes off the Belgian border, does that qualify? XD plus my uncle+cousins are Belgian and they live there + we go shopping there sometimes + we had some Belgian history in school (+ I can do a flawless Belgian accent! ;D -shotshot-).. so errr, what d'you wanna know? I'll see if I know enough to help out.. XD

Yeah, I really hate cest I have an older brother whom I love so so very much and an idea of sexual relationship between siblings is so damn disgusting for me DD;
I'm glad it is, cause there's more to come x3 (I just love drawing family scenes <3).

Thank you Yes, SAI is great *_* But there's one thing I can't seem to find- how do you clip the other layer to the one below, so you wouldn't draw outside of it? D:> (If you know what I mean).

Haha, it totally is xD And I can't help but find it really funny, since me and my best friend always have lots and lots of laughs at Twilight But don't worry, he still looks good with it ^_^ And yeah, I've seen that player and was thinking "Omg, Dutch really do look like him"

Wow, that'd be awesome Actually anything would do, from random facts to actual history. I just want to know more about it.

Red-Icarian-Leen In reply to mystorehouse [2010-07-17 19:32:26 +0000 UTC]

agreed, agreed (even though I don't have an older brother.. does a little sister count? :'D)
looking forward to seeing the rest you're gonna post~~

and the layer clips, idk if you've already found it in the meanwhile, but just in case: [link]

pffffft same here XD though the majority of my irl friends are actually twitards.. D< blegh, I'm basically surrounded by Edward fangirls :'D but I'll live, they bear with me fangirling over Hetalia so it's fair ; p
haha yesss I know right? XD seems HH bases his characters on pretty obvious sources..
(omg that reminds me, haha.. I was googling some random stuff the other day and look what I found: [link] [link] [link]
looks familiar [link] [link] , amirite? :'D)

hmm well.. idk what to say actually :'D
I know that they backstabbed us back when we tried to get away from the Spanish empire (as in, when the Dutch revolt began Belgium (or the southern Netherlands at that time, iirc) fought alongside us, but after a while they were like 'okay this isn't gonna work, lol bye' and instead turned against us and fought along Spain's side.. :/ hmm there was more but I'll have to check up in my old history books for that XD; they always had close ties to France, though, up to the point where half of the country is, as my Belgian friend once said, a bunch of France's ass kissers.. the country is pretty much split in two, there's the northern part (Flanders, or Vlaanderen in their language) where they speak Dutch (or well.. a Belgi-cized version of it ; p they understand Dutch perfectly fine while the other way around the Dutch barely can make out a word they say) and the people generally are more.. idk.. laid back, imo :/ and then there's the southern part (bordering France), which is called.. Wallonia? I'm not sure I don't know the English name for it, but yeah - the people from there are generally more stuck up and think of themselves as 'higher' than the 'dutch' Belgians and there's always a lot of bitching between the two parts whenever something international comes up and Belgium needs to be represented (like the eurovision song contest, lol, in the end they just figured they switch every year, Flanders gets to pick the artist for one year, Wallonia the year after, etc).. errr what else? Oh, the entire country (as far as I'm aware that is) learns French and Dutch in school, they're pretty much all expected to be billingual.. but then the southern folks pretend that they're not :/ seriously, speak Dutch to a random Wallonia-Belgian and they'll just go '...quoi?' and walk off - they understand it perfectly fine, they just friggin' refuse to speak it because dutch is inferior to french :/ in their opinion, at least. the other way around, though, whenever a wallonian visits flanders, they expect all the people there to speak french (note that the people in flanders speak dutch, yeah) :/ (and no firing your lasers in case any belgians read this, I'm not saying all of them are like this, but in general the Wallonians are way more stuck up than the Flanders folks :<)
err.. 'they' (EU folk) have been looking into partitioning Belgium for a while.. if it were to happen, Flanders would go to us, Wallonia would become part of France and.. idk a bit of the eastern part would go to Germany.. really stupid if you ask me but yeah :/ oh also, belgium's politics are about as steady as standing on quicksand is, lol, it's really wonky there due to the differences of flanders/wallonia and them pretty much not getting along.. idk about the details but I know it's pretty messy in their politics xD;
oh, and no matter what the dutch may tell you, FRIES WERE 'INVENTED' (lack of better word lol) IN BELGIUM. period. okay not sure since the dutch, belgians and french all claim they're theirs, but it's pretty sure they were made first somewhere around the southern Netherlands, which would mean they're either from northern Belgium or southern Netherlands (where I live~ |D).. but since the Belgians pretty much ace the fries-making I'd say they're theirs. -nodnod- ...and that's a big deal to us/belgium, seriously :'D we've got a bunch of stupid rivalry-things like that going on, so..
also we've got a lot of stereotypes of them, the biggest one being that they're, well, DUMB. as in lol-they-can't-think-as-advanced-as-we-do dumb. not sure where it comes from but if you ask any dutch about their opinion on belgians they'll probably say they're dumb.. XD (and they in turn think we're a bunch of stuck up druggies (.. which is partially true, the stuck up part, lol) who sit in our gardens all day long, smoking weed while we watch our tulips grow, ahaha ;D)

and.. well I'd say some more but that's all that's coming to mind right now (+ this is a too big wall of text already + headache D;) so I'll spam you with some more random stuff some other time :'D beware ohoho

Seems it'll have to wait, now I have to finish that LietPol contest comic before the deadline o_o

Hmm, I did it, but for some reason it doesn't work TAT.

Hahaha, it reminded me of when my WHOLE class (except for me and my 2 friends) were reading Twilight under their tables in school xDDD But you're lucky to have someone to share your fandom with.
And goosh, I can never get enough of that CD cover


Omg, you're seriously awesome girl *_* *saves in her "Information about countries" folder* And I'm so waiting for the next part~
But wow, it makes me glad we don't have these kinds of problems in Poland O_o In our country those "minorities" like górals and kaszubis are very small and we're more like "wow, how cool, they talk so funny" and they're all "We're so cool, come and give us money" , and we're like all proud that they belong to us and all (but I think we've already talked about it on my old account). I think we're just too happy that we finally have our own, united country to ever even consider tearing it apart.

Lool, "French fries battle" xDD And the Eurovision thing, like woah O_O So weird seriously.

ah okay xD still, L/P is nice too, so I don't mind

o3o wtf fuckery. did you link it to the right layer..? (happens to me all the time lol I usually link it to a completely different layer and then wonder for 10 minutes why it doesn't work -shot-)

oh my god the whole class D: I imagine that'd be awful pffffft.. but yeah people tried to get me to read it (I've had the book in my room, on my night stand even, for like.. a year? my best friend's copy for half a year until she figured I wasn't gonna read it anyway so she took it back, and then another friend (the polish one yay xD) one day shoved her copy in my hands and demanded that I'd read it.. but half a year later I still didn't and she wanted it back too ahahhaa. /fail
but yeah I read some random pages ('do I dazzle you?', lololol) and there wasn't much that kept me into reading it.. so blegh :'D
and someone to share my fandom with - wut? D: I don't, actually, they just let me ramble about it and then change the subject.. xD though my little sister fangirls along with me when new heta stuff shows up and all, but she's 10 so that's different ahaha ; p

YEAH I KNOW RIGHT? I actually printed that picture the day they posted it on livejournal and it is now the cover of one of my sketchbooks xDD; (and I made the poland-plushie from that cover, as you may remember, ahaha)

haha glad it didn't bore you.. XD I'd spam you another wall of text but right now I'm in the middle of something (painting, yay~~) so I'm not really up for a long tl;dr post.. XD next reply I'll see what I can think of, promised ; p

and yeah, it's the same here in NL (as in, the same as in poland, not belgium), there's the 'majority' of the 'actual dutch' which is the entire western half of the country.. and then there's the northern folks, the frysians, who don't really fit in anywhere (they actually have an entire (official) language of their own, haha, it sounds like gibberish to most of us, but still) and there's the south, especially my province, where people talk differently and we're generally looked upon as those-morons-who-mingled-too-much-with-the-germans-and-belgians.. but I believe I ranted about that to you a while ago already so blegh XD

yeah ikr, the eurovision thing :'D only made it more awesome that this year's guy (from Flanders) made it so far in the finals, because generally the flanders entries have been failing worse than the wallonian ones..

..pfft and somehow I still end up making every comment I write to you a tl;dr one XD; I'm sorry -shot-

Btw, just saw that photo of heta chibis, and they look so cute! X3 Especially Netherlands with that little bunny, aww. Does he really own a bunny?
And isn't drawing chibis the most entertaining thing ever? I have to force myself into drawing other things since I got so addicted to that

Oh yeah, somehow I've completely forgotten it was you " I didn't know you that well back then, that's probably why.

HAHA that's cool :'D idk, I don't find the movies to be extremely bad, it's just.. I don't see what the big deal is about, you know? and people compare that shit to friggin' Harry Potter? :/ (yeah, HP fangirl here, hi XD)
and hahaha.. when the first twilight movie came out (I didn't watch it in the cinema or anything, no matter how much everyone wanted me to xD) my best friend made me watch it with her when I was at her place.. and hahaha I remember lolling at random dumb quotes, so funny :'D

and thankyou ♥ yes, the bunny is canon, just a sec :3 [link] it shows up halfway down the page there ^^ (I love my hetacountry for being the only one with a bunbun, haha <3)

pffffft idk about chibis.. I can't draw them, that's the problem :'D I fail with usual anatomy so when I have to stylize it (ie chibify it) it fails even worse.. XD but it's fun to draw when you don't feel like doing a 'big' detailed pic, haha ; p

haha tsk tsk XD could be due to that being a pretty long time ago too, haha ..

..and now I'm really gonna go and paint! D: -has been saying so for over an hour but.. DA's too distracting XD;-

Drawing chibis you don't have to worry so much about the anatomy, that's why they're addictive (I got so lazy ;_; ).

Go and paint, then ^_^ (I should go and do it too).

It's because I'm stupid and I always forget to submit them *looks through her scans* And I must say they are quite many of them here.
Well, my Westlavia and Warsaw and PPP weren't chibis But if you want an another, full body example Oh hair thar, manly Poland
My normal style isn't really interesting that's why I'm working on developing a style fitting my chibi style (3 "style" in one sentence, oh yeah). I want it to be easy to use and nice looking and I'm having lots of fun at the moment, just experimenting with it ^_^ (but on the other hand I still practice my realistic drawing).

tsk tsk ; p you should upload them, from what I see in that picture you showed it looks great ♥
I think it's interesting though : o I mean, you can still tell it's 'your' style, you know, even though they're not your usual chibis, it's still easily recognizable that it was drawn by you.. if you get my point XD but yeah experimenting with your style can be a lot of fun too so you just do that, haha~
