I had Gimp for a bit but it was making my laptop slow >3< I should get back into it again! and I need to learn so much too! Dx I feel a bit frustrated that I have to learn so much, its so hard >3< Let's give it our best though ok?
I think there are some Otakus who know how to do that... we should ask on an artist cubby post! ^_^
Ugh I still have lots to learn on SAI xD I usually do the lineart on the top layer and then colour on the layer below and erase mistakes... I don't know how to select sections or anything yet >3<
Hahaha Yes I want to get back and fix it sometime now that I have a better perspective and I'm a bit calmer too^^' But I'd definitely do better on it traditionally, it was too much of a challenge to digitally do it! xD
I'm gonna keep working on it! I have the draft but I'm working so slow >3<
AH you listened to my meme?! Haha thanks!! I'm glad you enjoyed me talking so long xD I'd love to make another meme sometime, though last time I was super nervous!! xD
Say no more. If it's revenge on umbrellas you were aiming for I think you hit it ;) But it's sometimes better to come back to something after awhile. Gives you a fresh perspective and whatnot, at least that's how it works with papers lol
I can't wait to see the Ghibli Party. I'm sure it will be highly entertaining ^^
Oh, I meant to say something before but forgot. I enjoyed listening to your audio memes. I hope you keep them up, even with your busy schedule *hopeful face*
Thanks for the awesome advice, Panda!
Ah yes!!! Thats right, I used to be worried about what style to draw in as well and it caused the same problem for me >_<
You're right... I will slow down. I think I'm expecting way too much for myself and getting disappointed in all areas of my art. Ah your words relieve me there^^ I seriously got so stressed about this, its crazy! I'm glad you understand!
You definitely helped me a ton!! Thankyou my friend! Anytime you need help or wanna talk, I'll be here for ya too!
Lol yay someone is finally honest!! its horrible isn't it? I totally gave up on it, I was feeling pretty depressed >3< I'm thinking of redoing it sometime if I can! I feel better about the overall picture so I should at least give Ayako a nice umbrella xD Actually its revenge for the evil umbrella which cut my finger yesterday @_@
Thankyou SO much!!! ^_^ I'm glad you like how I did Ayako! That means a lot to me!
Btw I started drawing the Ghibli party at my house xD It'll be in pencil, I'll keep working on it soon^^
yeah, no prob. i'm glad that you're willing to share your problem with me :D i totally understand what you're saying. i have that problem between drawing realistic portraits and drawing manga style. all i could say is since you're still learning digital art, you should take it slow and try not to overwhelm yourself by trying to get the skills for it because you are gonna become skill in it anyway!:D I think it's okay to take a break from traditional art and working with something else new/different. i'm sure all artists went into different phases such as which medium to use and which style to use. i think what i'm trying to say is that it's okay to explore new things instead of sticking to what you're good at, such as traditional drawings for you. that way you could expand what you like and your experiences. i hope i helped...i wish you luck :D
Thankyou SO much, Katy-sama!! wow you're making me happy! I actually have more trouble with girls since I'm less used to drawing them, but you make me want to draw Ayako more so I will! She's actually going to be in a short manga I should be making soon.
Ack I hate the heat too, its cooled down a bit for me though... I hope it does the same for you on your trip!
Thankyou, Ramen!! I really appreciate your nice words!!! I might do the umbrella over again sometime cuz I rushed, but its good to know that it looks alright! Thanks a million!
Thanks so much, Panda!! Oh yeah, you're right! She does look like little red riding hood, minus the red coat! I'm glad you like this, I felt like it was messy and now I'm feeling a bit better about it^^
Thankyou for asking, I needed to talk to someone about this!! Ok its exactly like what you said... I don't know what to focus on or put my effort into. I'm more experienced with traditional so I want to use my markers, but traditional doesn't have an undo button =_= or all those cool features like digital. But with digital, I'm back to the beginning and I practically have to learn how to do art all over again in using different tools. So I'm getting all messed up! I feel like just winging stuff and creating art every which way, but I don't have the liberty to do that in traditional but I don't have the skills to do that in digital yet. ACK I'll just keep working! Thanks for listening to that rantish sort of paragraph! *hugs*
THANKYOU!!!! I'm so happy you like it!
Ah yes, of course you can call me Jen^^
LOL the umbrella is a mess, but I'm happy you don't think so^^ I'm being too critical of myself? xD
thanks for your nice words again, Demi-chan!!
lol I was just about to comment on the "supposed umbrella" but then I saw I'm not supposed to comment on the "supposed umbrella" so this is me not commenting it . . . XD
She's really cute in that yellow raincoat. I like how you've got her hair blowing out of her hood because that's really realistic. It drives me nuts how I can have my hair all tucked in a hood and then the wind tunnel/pressure/whatever blows it back out! Grrrr
And you said you draw terrible girls. This is wonderful. She looks like she could be Kaji's sister. She's so pretty. I love her. Draw her more often please, she's awesome. Great picture too. I love the rain, so pretty. Wish it would rain in Nortj Carolina, its hot here lol. Ayako is awesome, please draw her more.
WHoa you drew Ayako really cute, like how it's raining and you did a good job on drawing the rain drops :) I totally see the umbrella and yellow really suits her well.
Ayako is really cute in her yellow rain coat, she kinda remind me of little red riding hood :D the simple details of the rain in the background is a nice touch XD when you say that you are stuck with traditional and digital art what do you mean? like not knowing which to focus on for the moment or which one you like more?
Thankyou Quorra!! I felt kinda ucky about this one though cuz I rushed and made a mess =_= But if you like it, I'm HAPPY!!! Thankyou so much for your kind words!! Oh I got your pm and will reply as soon as i can! I'm watching my internet time cuz I've almost hit my monthly usage limit >3<
AH you SHOULD!!! It lots of fun and practice!! I JUST FINISHED!!!! BUt I'll post later cuz I have to write some stuff in it xD
YEAH!!! but I just got off and now I'm back on... I can't be on full time cuz my internet blah blah @_@'
So cute!! I love how you colored her jacket and her face is so sweet and adorable! Also love the rain and the hair and well EVERYTHING! Your art is amazing, Birdie!
Ah I'm glad you like her, Hanatan!!!!! But the umbrella is horrible, I was SO LAZY!! XD Thanks though ^_^
THANKYOU SO MUCH!! AND YES YOU ARE!! I LOVE HOW YOU DRAW YOUR CHARACTERS' EYES TOO :DDD I'm glad you like Ayako's eyes^^
Ugh I'm soso lazy! I want to finish the expression meme for Kaji @_@
