Description
"How To Draw Fantasy Characters the Mirrorball Man Way" is a very pompous name for a very simple thing: I had all these images of this deviation at different stages gathering dust on my hard drive, and I thought it would be fun to make a tutorial out of them.I have no formal training, and I don't pretend that I know anything about art, but hey, you never know, maybe someone somewhere will learn something.
If you're interested, the final deviation can be seen here: [link]

Thank you! I should do more deviations in that style, some people actually asked me to, but they take so much time with all these little details that I'm not sure I'm patient enough anymore.

I think it's really nice of you to share tricks like that.
I know I'm kind of "oh no I cant tell anyone about this cus then they will copy me and just do it better than me"
okay not all the time maybe but I have my moments.

Oh I'm sure you'd share if we asked very very nicely!
But see, me, I don't have this dilemma. I don't know any secrets or tricks and have no real artistic or technical knowledge that I could share with anybody, so making a tutorial is obviously much easier for me.

You're on dial-up?
I just thought this tutorial should reasonably big, because some people might be interested in seeing the small details..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.....eeeeeeevil dial-up, even.....Juno. It costs me like, $5 a month, and isn't really even worth that much! 
You did fine with sizing your tutorial that way. It's a good idea. Like you said, everyone can see the details better that way.

Well, we're actually in the process of trying to find/buy a house. So, were keeping expenses down to a very bare minimum until after "the move"....

Ah, yes sure, every dollar counts. What kind of house are you looking for?

Well, a big enough one to hold the family, without having to stack us up! Besides a room for me and the hubby, we have the four kids, and.......*sigh*.......my, *sigh, again*......my mother-in-law. >_<

Your mother in law lives with the family? And what about your college-going Mom?

I WISH my mom lived with us!! She and I have a fantastic relationship! We're best friends!! I did a pic in my gallery called "The Love of a Mother" (at least , that's the link title....on the actual pic, it says "A Mother's Love").....that represents us as elves, and signifies how she is ALWAYS there for me, through good times AND bad.

I know, it's very important. I have an excellent relationship with my mother too...
