A near-accident at the swimming pool

 A near-accident at the swimming pool when I was young

Part 1. The Exciting Pool

"Yay! It's a pool!"

I shouted excitedly. My friends were excited too. We were playing in the water, which was about ten feet deep. Michael said to me,

"Tom, you go in. If you stay still, you can float."

Michael was thinking about lying still in the water when he said that.

"Really?"
I hesitated to try it when I heard that. Then James told me to go in too. I decided to go.

Part 2. A Dangerous Attempt

I grabbed the ladder and descended. It was so deep I couldn't even see the bottom.

After immersing myself in the cold water, I let go of the ladder and stretched my arms skyward.

My body slowly sank.

I stayed still, but my body continued to sink. My friends sensed something was wrong. As I flailed my arms and struggled, they grabbed my sinking hands and pulled me out of the water.

Part 3. A Bad Attempt

My friends asked me with worried expressions.

"Tom! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It's only been a few seconds since I entered the water."
After reassuring them, I asked Michael.

"I stayed still. Why didn't I float?"

Lively concert stage

Image
  I drew a lively concert stage using pixel art. First, I drew a simple stage. Next, I drew the performers. Two are dancing, and two more are in the background, livening up the atmosphere. Speakers were placed on the left and right sides of the stage.  Since the audience was dark and hard to see, I drew only their shapes in black. I applied a gradient to make the stage bright and the audience dark. Finally, I simply drew the lights and confetti. Lively concert stage

How to Draw a Log Easily with Pixel Art

Image
I drew a simple log in pixel art. Use it as a reference when you draw logs. I drew this on a 32-pixel square canvas. First, I drew the cross-section of the log. I drew it as a circle with a diameter of 13 pixels.  Copy half of the circle and move it upwards, then draw a vertical line to make the length of the log.  I painted the cross-section of the log brown. I then drew the rings, an important characteristic of the tree, in light brown. I drew them as circles with a diameter of 7 pixels.    I painted the trunk section a slightly lighter color than the cross-section, and drew straight lines in a lighter brown. I also raised half of the cross-section by 2 pixels, making the cross-section an ellipse.  I put a stain in the log trunk.  I put dots in the middle of the light brown straight lines.   I made spots by dotting the logs in random locations with brown and light brown colors.  Assuming the sunlight is coming from the left, a...

Drawing a Vending Machine in Isometric Pixel Art. Basic Isometric Practice.

Image
 I drew a vending machine using isometric pixel art. It's a practice exercise for isometric basics.  To draw isometric pixel art, keep the following in mind: When drawing lines that are vertical or parallel to the horizon, draw them two spaces wide and one space high. First, draw the ground. Draw the two lines of a square (two spaces wide and one space high).  Copy the two lines and move them to create the height of the ground.  Copy the two lines again. Flip it horizontally and then vertically, then move it to draw the remaining two lines of the rectangle. Draw a square on the bottom of the vending machine in the same way.    Copy and move the rectangle, then draw vertical lines to create height. Color it simply with three levels of shading.  Draw the windshield of the vending machine. Just like the floor, draw it 2 squares wide and 1 square high.  The space inside the windshield is also drawn 2 squares wide a...
