I'm hungry, and just typing this while I'm waiting for my brother to finish making the cinnamon rolls.
Today I woke up and drew an adorable sheep which I tried coloring in that one rainbow style I was talking about with the koi fish and all, and it turned out pretty good, but if I hadn't put in blue then it would've looked better. The guy who did the rainbow stuff had really light colors and colors that were a few shades under that, but I didn't so the blue was REALLY dark...-.-; Anyway, at least the sheep looks cute! ^ ^
And then I tried that kimono kinda coloring, that didn't work because I don't have very light colors...-.-; I need more copics....and I need some ink refilling stuff because most of my inks are running out, I just wonder how much they cost, I can't seem to find them anywhere on the internet.
After drawing a cute wittle sheepy (I loves sheep, 'specially in anime because they're sooo adorable) I've decided on how I can change my style. I can make it a mixture of cute and beautiful, how? Well...ummm...wait, why did I type that? I don't care I'm leaving it because I'm too lazy to figure out how to continue this post without putting in random things, 'cause that's who I am!
Anyways, the background in this world is from Tukiji Nao, and notice how it isn't very detailed at all, that's the kinda style I'm shooting for. I also wanna try those shiny red tip kinda coloring with the skin. Like with the fingers, shoulders, elbows, knees, and stuff like that.
What else to talk about? Oh yeah! I'm probably gonna draw a lot today...I wanna make a cute picture! ^ ^ I'm going to finally draw those two pictures that Haruka Kanata asked me to draw, after all, she won my contest....I feel really bad...TT.TT;
Oh! Also I've been reading in my books and stuff, reading interviews with traditional manga artists and everything. And most of them said they first started coloring with copics a few years ago and such and such, and then I just thought to myself ,"Haha! I started when I was 11/12 so hah! I'm bettah than you!!" But that's just my weird me speaking in my head. Yes, I try to find mistakes in drawings and stuff, and try to figure out who's better and everything, but I usually think people are much better than me and then try to get better...
I keep telling myself I'm better at copics than a lot of people, but whenever I scan them I notice how bad they look, now I don't know if it's my scanner, and I think it probably is. It messes with the coloring and makes my strokes more defining than what they look like in real life....I think I need a new scanner, I can't get any better, at least my art won't look any better if I keep using that scanner. What kinda scanners do you guys recommend? I'm not buying one right now or anything, I just wanna know what a good scanner is. I used to have a really good scanner, but then it died...and then my other one which I'm using can only be used for lineart, and I don't like showing people my line art, it's a waste of time to scan it, post it, and then go back and color it. If I post it, I'm not messing with it again, that usually happens...-.-;
Anyways, I think the cinnamon rolls are almost ready...I'm gonna go get some, and then go back to drawing a lot! ^ ^; I have enough manga to keep me company (umm....not for talking, I'm kinda using a metaphor here, more manga to look at and get inspiration) so I don't think I'll have to keep rushing back to the computer to figure out what to do (like an FAQ for a video game, but it's just a picture)....
Bye-bye! ^ ^
