Description just did some fast sketching last night and my boyfriend decided to get in on the fun! i know he's a good artist just by looking at his stick figures! but that's all he'll draw for me right now...i've never seen his other drawings yet..i'm hoping he'll start drawing and posting his pictures and photographs on DA one day! we had a good laugh doing this!

the other characters are ones created by my very beautiful and talented cousin she's the one who got me into drawing anime style from the very beginning and she's been my biggest inspiration since!

i usually dont dedicate sketches to people because i like to dedicate things that i put a lot of time and effort in, but i'm going to make an exception in this case ;D this is dedicated to as they are my rendition of her wonderful characters - kiki, kei, jei, and kuma i had so much fun doing this aikochan! it's a big honor for me to get an art request from you! i hope i did your characters justice...

this is also dedicated to since my boyfriend is one of her best friends they met long before i came along and they're two of a kind - it's uncanny how alike they are - they're like the same person, just different genders! i love them both very much and have extreme amounts of fun and laughs whenever i'm with both of them! i thought you'd get a kick out of mitchell's doodles minami!

dont worry! this wont be your actual dedication piccys! you will each get your own - one that i'll spend lots of time on and it will be inked and colored!

i'm sorry i've been MIA here lately, but i want to wish you all a wonderful friday! and i'll try to write back to all of you as soon as i get a chance today or this weekend! thank you to all of you who always leave me messages!!!

Impressive as always. I love sketches but these are almost lineart they're so clean. Even though these are your cousin's characters, I prefer seeing them in your your style. Great work again : ) Oh, and your BF's sketches are classic : )

why thank you so much! so good to hear from you! i have a lot of fun doing sketches and doodles ;D actually, they took a while to do and i did erase some things ;D my boyfriend has a great sense of humor! his started off with a little man running and then he added the guy with the sword behind him, then he drew the building with the gun man on top!

One little tip...! Next time you scan in something, make sure you up the contrast in your image program. It will make lines more defined.
It would be a shame for an artwork so beautiful to be obscured!!

chihei84 In reply to hedspace77 [2007-10-20 00:06:55 +0000 UTC]

oh thank you so much for the tip! i always have a hard time making things come out nicely in the scanner! sometimes my art looks better when its out of focus though!

hedspace77 In reply to chihei84 [2007-10-20 15:25:58 +0000 UTC]

Yes! I find my drawings are far better on the actual paper, than when it is scanned in! I can't fix the colours at all, so people here look at something different from what I've just drawn. I suppose this happens to you??!!

chihei84 In reply to hedspace77 [2007-10-20 20:03:07 +0000 UTC]

oh yes! i like how things look before they are scanned! when they're scanned it comes out a lot different and i can see more unsightly errors...especially in the coloring...

wow! if your work looks so great scanned i cant imagine what the original must look like!

Oh geee....you're flattering me too much!
I hate being cocky...but I'm so proud of the "Jun Ariyoshi -2-" drawing, it looks great on the paper...but when I scanned it in, the colours became so bright, and the shadow tones were irrepairable
Oh well....

?complimenting? i was just saying what i honestly felt! you shouldnt feel bad at all about feeling some satisfaction for your work- i would be a heck of a lot proud to be able to do the things you do!!! even though the scanner changed the colors - its still and amazing piece!!!

Man, I'd love to see your art being used for patterns - you got the poses all right and everything! ;D I wish I could draw skinny people the way you do, even my skinny people don't look skinny.

I knew you were preparing for the new manager! >8D Sheesh, it sounds like too much work to do for a newb's arrival. Aww, will you be able to keep in contact with your former manager? <=3 Yay, I'm glad things are going so great for you in some part of your life! Aaawweee, that's so sweet for you and Mitchell to cook for you ma and grandma! Hmm...when was the last time I did that for my mom? Man, it's been too long, I HAVE to do something special for her like I used t, but with school I just don't have the time nor the energy. Fishehs! XD Ooo, I can't wait to see new species of fish from you! ^3^ Did you eat any fish or did you capture some as pet fish?
