Description welp i finally took a look at my art and decided i seriously needed help with shading LOL.
so here i am starting with the basics~ im hoping to maybe do one shading practice drawing a day to keep up with the studies!

Self Reflection:
- Umm yeah let's just say i need a new blending brush cuz blur is gross.
- it makes white glowy effects around the objects i shade when there is supposed to be nO GLOWY EFFECT. i kinda already knew blur was bad tho.
- Need to get new smexy brushes m8
- value needs to be built up more with the darker values and the lighter values. thats a weak point for sure.Β

I think the shading looks nice. Though I can't shade for shit, so maybe my opinion doesn't matter. Also how the hell can a brush be smexy?

Well you're welcome.

Ah, okay. A little weird, but eh. I just had a dream that involved Mori, and my OC Clara taking down the mafia.(... Yeah.... I have no idea what the hell that was about. But eh, at least I wasn't having horror movie type of dreams.)

alright.

Yeah, I dream about my OC's and anime characters/live-action characters a lot. Like... I think in one of my dreams, Lucifer from Supernatural showed up(At least I think it was him, everything was kind of blurry in that dream.)and..... It was just weird, I'm not even sure how to describe the dream.

awesome, your mind is so filled with fandom stuff that you dream about it a lot xD being an adult means more worries and less fun dreams probably. so enjoy those fun dreams while you still can

Actually I'm 19, and I'm still having those dreams.(Mostly because... Eh... why bother with grown-up stuff when you know you're going to die soon anyway. Might as well keep going, and doing the thing you love, instead of boring grown-up stuff till you die.)

N-NINETEEN!? hory shet i just kinda assumed you were like middle school age cuz almost most everyone else i know on here is a younger teen. and also the way you write stories and still love your fictional husbands a lot gives off a more child-like feel too.

so do you have a job ? are you taking college classes?

Well, what can I say, I'm still kind of a child at heart. (A really negative child), and... eh... I don't like them like that. I just like shipping my OC's with canon characters, because I think they'd be cute together. (What can I say, I'm a (hetero) shipper.)

No, and I'm actually taking a year off from school, because HOLY SHIT HIGH SCHOOL. SUCKED. ASS!!

Our art class is basically a free draw. ; v ;Β 
I spend most of my time on character designs and/or random paintings (usually having a dark theme. XD)

oops nooby* how did i even make that typo ._.

free draw class? sounds nice. tho if you dont get taught art techniques at all then thats kinda weird. sounds more like a drawing clubΒ 

sounds fun tho!

Hehe. X3 Our art teacher kindaaaaa teaches us? Like, sometimes we do different watercolor things, but that's about it. XD
Her class is pretty chill, which is nice for our school. :'D
It's stressful. XD

MelloMilkies In reply to hardysuffi [2017-11-19 01:34:48 +0000 UTC]

okiii xD yeah more stricter art classes that tell you you HAVE to draw a certain way can kinda drain ppl out. normal art classes all want us to draw realistically, which is no fun when a lot of us like anime style arts~
