@MangaKid:

>_____________________________________________<
Random! BUT HUGS YOU A THOUSAND TIMES BACK WITHOUT SQUEEZING YOU TOO MUCH!!<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

@PurpleMochi:

*MAJOR GIANT HUGS YOU TO DEATH BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE FROM MY HUG SO I JUST HUG YOU A THOUSAND TIMES IN A ROW INSTEAD OF SQUEEZING YOU TOO MUCH*

@MangaKid:

Me too ^ ^
Thanks o3o and so are you <3
Yep, couldn't have said it better myself x)
<3

@PurpleMochi:

Lol ;)
Ahahaha I'm glad we can encourage each other! And I think that you are an amazing artist how you are! ^_^
Oh yeah, thats true too... Its good to draw what you are comfortable with but then also good to try new challenges!
<3<3<3

@MangaKid:

Indeed! ^ ^ And Thanks 8) lol xD I love that! haha
Ah, I like that motto too o3o And yes! I believe you are right xD
I think it will too, but I'm glad you're saying it will, it gives me reassurance that my perfectionism will die after much drawing and ignoring it. Ah, I see, but you also got better at what you were drawing from staying with it I think...right?
And yes! It would be <3

@PurpleMochi:

Yup just keep drawing, just keep drawing, keep draaaaawing! Watch this!
WAH that is an awesome motto!!! Mine is the old "if there's a will, there's a way!" So put both quotes together and we've got something good I think xD
Yeah, it'll break some point tho.. your perfectionist block, i mean. Or I mean, it'll at least loosen so that you feel more free! I used to be the same way and thats why I never tried drawing anything new for a long time cuz I was worried about messing up xD
It would be so fun <3

@MangaKid:

Ah, that's good to know x)
Yeah something like that, building endurance, and that's true.
Haha, my motto is "Anything worth doing is worth doing right" xD
Yeah, in the back of my head I know that, I just need to loosen up a bit not try to make things as perfect.
Ah ^ ^ Oh okay, art collaboration. And yeah 8)

@PurpleMochi:

Yeah I understand what thats like... When u keep drawing tho, it'll eventually just leave. I always think its like building endurance as if you're running a race xD LOL I think the fact that u do want to do perfect tho is really good, that means you're always gonna do your best! U just don't have to get discouraged if it didn't turn out like how you thot, cuz chances are that everyone else will still love it!
OH We totally need to do that!! Yeah, thats more like an art collaboration.. But if we both swapped drawings, then it would be like an art trade <3
Teehee <3

@MangaKid:

Yeah, lol, I'm starting to realize that myself xD I guess that's true :/ When I start out drawing I have an image in my mind and I guess I want the drawing to look as perfect as possible...I'm pretty sure I set my sites too high xS But like you said, the more I'm drawing I'm starting to realize it's not gonna be perfect (and my brain's like, duh) And yeah, I'm sure that's true too <3
Yeah 8) me too xD Ah yeah :/ I thought it would be fun to do like, you draw something, I paint it, or I draw something, and you color it..that's called an art trade isn't it? Idk, but yeah too bad indeed =_=
Ah yeah, lol, that simple line drawing of a catfish >u<

@PurpleMochi:

I totally know what you mean!! I was the same way when I started doing art, but then after doing lots of fan art and using ref pictures, I realized I couldn't just make things easy and I had to try out the hard stuff right away or I wouldn't get it done xD
Ah I'm sure it doesn't end up looking as bad as you ever think! Its probably cuz you feel pressured and discouraged and then you just think it didn't turn out well cuz it was pretty hard. But after a while of working through hard poses or parts of your art, it'll get easier <3
OH I'm so glad that I helped u! Its too bad that we couldn't draw together all the time :( I remember u drew at Still Waters, I still have your fish picture in my book teehee x)

@MangaKid:

Yeah xP Ah, x) that's a good thing.
Yeah :( that's exactly the problem, I don't want to make a mistake so I stop when it gets to a hard point and decide to come back to it later and it takes me forever >,< but I'm trying to force myself to continue anyways even if it looks bad at least I'll finish it :/
And I have to say you've helped me to be like that, so thanks ^___^
Ah yeah, so would I, cause I'd wind up drawing it off a little if I don't (or a lot > <)

@PurpleMochi:

Lol thanks ^_^
Ugh perspective is hard tho, I have trouble with it too. But usually I like to challenge myself to try it. Maybe ur being so perfectionist (in a good way of course) but then it won't let u experiment? and with me, I have to experiment and have the exact image in my head to do perspective cuz it can be so difficult @_@

@MangaKid:

But it turned out good so overboard with the textures turned out nicely x)
Ah, and I do like it :D
Ah yeah, I would have to do the same, I seem to be bad with perspective drawing for some reason xP

@PurpleMochi:

LOL I know, I went overload on the textures haha xD And yes, the original marker drawing was so simple, I thought it became boring.
I'm glad u like this!! I had to look at all these ref pics of people handing out drinks xD hahaha

I really like this, it seems simple except for all the textures you used x)but they look great 8) but it's neat.
I like the look of the character for one, and it's cool how it looks like he's handing you lemonade >u< I like the colors a lot too

@toyotami kun:

Thanks so much!!! Waaaaah I'm so happy ^U^ Thankyou for all ur comments, Toya!
LOL I've been mixing both traditional and digital lately ^^'

I really like the glow of this! XD
I think you did an awesome job combining both the digital and traditional in this drawing!
I at first thought this was digital until I read the description so you almost tricked me again! XD

@HotRamen2Go009:

*cheers* Yay!!! Thanks Ramen <3
waaaaaaah *U* I think it looks great as your icon!

@MangaKid:

Cool, Thanks again! It was definitely worth the wait :D

Later Jen

@HotRamen2Go009:

Yay!!! I'm so happy you got on now and saw this! <3 Its awesome u could tell it was Theo too <3 Thankyou so much for the amazing comment! ^////^
Hooray! You're very welcome, dear friend!
HAHAHA XD Thats funny! and no problem, go right ahead and use it however you'd like ^_^

Whoa! I feel so lame for not logging in yesterday to see this... :)

I just logged in and went to the fan art section and saw this and immediately knew it was My oc Theo! I got excited

Yep, I think Theo would definitely try to make a drink with lemonade in it, he's a bartender after all. I really like the colors and the way you drew him holding out the drink to invite us all for a glass of lemonade, very cool. I also think a mixture of traditional and digital is good. I tend to do some touch ups with my drawings as well and
so I think you were successfully to give a great balance and the best of both the digital and traditional world!
You have outdone it again and this will definitely be the highlight of my day :)

Thank you! thank you! I don't know what else to say, but THANK YOU!

Hehe I'm gonna show this off to everyone today and it will blow their minds away ;)

Have a good one Jen

-----------

Oh yeah, would be cool if I use this as my avi....:)

@:

Kyaaaa thanks so much, Rose-chan <3<3<3

@MangaKid:

Your welcome!
Aww! I want some >:3

@Vanilla Cupcake :

Haha thankyou so much, Cupcake-chan!
Btw I just ate a homemade cupcake!! x3

@Dragoncia:

Oh I'd love to see it! <3

I didn't know someone can make lemonade so epic!!! XD Awesome drawing as always Manga-chan!

@MangaKid:

Your welcome! :D

Aww...your too kind. >///< Thanks, I was thinking about posting this tiger dragon artwork I finished the other day. I just have to scan it first...

@Kaerlyn:

*so happy* Thanks again!!

Ah yes, I think that does look better ^^

@Dragoncia:

Thankyou so much, my friend!!

Ah thats so nice of you! I missed ya, so its so good to hear from u <3 I hope you and your art is going well :D

This is awesome! :D I love the glow effect and the dimension.

Lol, I've been inactive lately. So I'm trying to get back into commenting on everyone's awesome artworks! XD

@Kaerlyn:

No on't worry! I appreciate your advice very much! I went ahead and changed it, hopefully it looks cleaner (I think it does!) :D Thanks so much, Anna!!! ^_^

@MangaKid:

I don't mean to be picky heheh... You don't have to change anything unless you wish to! >.< I agree the lighting does look suitable for a bar *nods* good choice!

@Kaerlyn:

Thankyou Anna!! WAH I didnt even think of erasing it off his hand O_O' Do you mean the texture of the lighting? I was going for light/shadow from a bar/club or something since he's a bartender. But I see the bit of texture on his fingers now... I think I can fix that on SAI even tho picmonkey would have let me erase it myself if I had noticed before saving >u< Thankyou so much :D
^_____^

Mmmm lemonade. He looks great! The background texture looks good too, although I think it would be a little neater if it wasn't on his hand. I have no clue how picmonkey works though, so I don't know if it is possible to edit things like that XD

Great job on drawing his hand though, hehe ^^
