I just have some un-finished sketches
hidden around my computer.

One day...I will attempt to re-do them.

I'd sorta like to get into animation. I did a flash class once, And I got so into making my games look super pretty that I sort of never figured out the programming stuff. But I had the nicest looking games in the class.
Unfortunately ramming into things backwards regenerated health and you could accelerate backwards so fast that you'd get lodged in scenery.

I put too much detail in my
animations.
I'd usually have to re-do the entire thing.

We never got into game making.

Stushcinta In reply to AbsoluteFormula [2011-09-11 03:39:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I think the idea is to save the detail for when you're happy with the basics. That's why the professionals do like, little stick figure things for the storyboards and stuff and then actually make it look nice. We're good at detail, just we do it at the wrong time in the process.

We just found the weakest link.
I use macromedia flash mx and some Photoshop here and there.
I'm sure there's somewhere on the internet you can steal a copy of both.

And I seriously couldn't draw with paint to save my life.

You pretty much outdraw me in the program.

wow i cant even do that im not good at actually drawing with my computer i mostly just do the outline of the character then scan or take a picture of it then go from there but lately my camera hasnt been working and i am unable to use my scanner all of the time but all of that will be solved very soon . . . i hope

I seriously do the same thing!
I just add color and whatnot.

I...I don't have a workable scanner.
I just use my phone.
Take the picture, upload the sketch to Facebook,
then I screen-shot it and take it into FLASH and
photoshop.

Then upload the finished product and show off.

Wow....why are people like that? :c
Not all my friends like my art but I still do it
anyway.
Just post all the things on facebook and dA.


I know that feeling.
It's when you're looking at the most
detailed painting and you're just kinda depressed
by it, right?
If I find something like that, I just study it.
I try to copy the style and compare mine to theirs.
This seriously works.

It's because of the school I go to and I don't really get to see any of my friends all of them are at a different school now

yea I hate going to museums because that is the art most of the world likes and I know I can never make any kind of art close to that

You still have me bro!
I..I don't know if that's much though

All you gotta do is think positive.
Think of the people who view your art and
favorite your things.
If someone fav's something on here, my brain goes,
"Wow, someone actually liked that, I should do some more"
It's the little things that count, right?

The whole museum thing, Just bring your sketchbook and
sketch out some of the paintings.
Absorb the way they did their paintings.

I think your art is way better then mine

yea I think the same way the more people favorite my stuff and comment the more I want to post even if it is just a sketch

I've tried that but the museum I went to didn't like that much at all and that made no sense

Blame it on the programs.
I'll start looking around to see if I can find them for you.

That's the only thing that keeps me going!
XD
It's just such a great feeling.

What?
That's crazy...
The museum I went to encouraged people to bring sketchbooks.
Although the same place isn't fond of backpacks.

yes it is im doing everything i can to get noticed for my art i kind of feel like a bad artist because i love a lot of my really bad art there aare some things posted in my scraps some of the stuff is just random other stuff is real art that i like

i only brought a small sketch pad and pencil and they disliked it and the art there wasnt that great sadly

FREE PROGRAMS!!

Think of your art as children.
I love all my art and some I don't care for that much.
The stuff that I love gets edited in Flash and the photoshops.

I've seen people bring HUGE sketchpads into some.
Some guy brought an easel and paints once.

yea i do my best to make my art special and look nice them my favorite art gets edited and coloured

yea when i didnt really draw my parents made me travel some and we went to some really cool museums and i saw people drawing everywhere and that was one of the things that inspired me to start drawing

I hope you get Flash or photoshop.
I absolutely love those two.
Illustrator is something I have been wanting to get and
learn. But I'm cheap..

I have drawers full of old art I want to re-do.
I really hope I find them all and the time to do 'em.

The thing that made me want to draw was the ability to
move someone, emotionally with an art piece.
That amazed me. :>

Wow, comparing my 8th grade me to you is just....
I couldn't draw for my life in 8th grade.
I'd show you some of the thing I did that year...
but that was 3 years ago. Xp

The only thing I noticed since 8th is that my art somehow improved
greatly.
It's like once I hit junior year, my brain just decide I could draw.
It was weird.

Besides the normal classes, I'm
in advanced art 3 and graphic web design.
If your school has a graphic design program you should
probably take it. It helps A LOT!

The only free time I have is 6 hours at most.
On the weekends, I have until I wake up and
until I go to bed.

What makes the school so different that you have to
be accepted into?

wow

well i would to to one school because of where i live but if i get accepted into the program i can to to the other school even though i dont live in the area its not that special but there is a program that lets you into the school even if you dont live close enough to it
