Artist Cubby

WORLD WILL BE RECEIVING A RENO-JOB AS SOON AS TIME ALLOWS! Thankyou for your support and patience!

Hello and welcome to MangaKid and Ikemarth's Artist Cubby!
We hope you all enjoy your time here!

This is a world Ikemarth and I have created after our dear friend Angel Satina gave us this great idea! We wanted to create a place for artists to share their methods, experiences, tips/advice, ect. Its like a club in a community where artist friends can join even closer together^^ We will be posting anything such as our own step-by-step process of creating art, tutorials, art notices/progress, cool artistic videos, before and after pics of artwork, and simple tips as well as answer any questions that you post or have! We hope everyone, including us, will learn new artistic ways and become even more creative together as we experience each others' style. For new artists, we hope to help inspire you and motivate you to continue drawing!

Note: Check out the Cubby's sister world: The Otaku Fellowship by Aryia!!
If you are looking for tutorials on how to make wallies and ecards, please visit our friend Aria Sky's cool world The Ultimate Guide to Creating.
And if you're looking for a neat project to do, check out snow fox's Collaboration Nation!
And for additional awesome art tutorials, definitely check out ekaknr's Artist Cafe!

If you have any questions, feel free to PM MangaKid or Ikemarth! We are accepting guest posters, if you feel that you'd like to join and share your tips with the Otaku!

Rules+Guidlines: -Nothing inapropriate.
-We'd like you all to shorten your posts to new pages but you DO NOT have to shorten your profiles. Please post your profiles normally. We want the other posts to be shortened though as it'll be a lot more organized that way.
-You can post a chibi at the top of your posts if you'd like, but please make sure its small (approx. 300x300 pixels. A bit bigger then that is alright too.)
-No putting down anyone or making them feel uncomfortable (of course, we're all good friends here so I don't think we need to worry about this^^)
-If you join, you are not obligated to post (even though we'd LOVE to see posts from ya!). Feel free to post anytime or not post at all. The main thing is if you enjoy the club, learn new things, and make new friends :)

Drawing Close

Ok I know a lot of people like to draw...and I know some people have their own ways to draw. I wonder how many draw really close to the paper...you know what I mean...I mean face to paper....not a good idea...it can mess you up on the artwork, I got this from a animator who draws out his stuff...He said it hurts the vision and it also make you drawing looks a bit off...without knowing...so watch how you draw...next time just draw face away from paper....if you knew this already good for you *thumbs up* but if someone you know draws this was (like a friend I know in my campus) let em know....

Artist Profile: Zuzu Uchiha

Wuz Up

Zuzu here happy to join this with my friend MangaKid and Ike, well just going to give a little bit of detail on myself and what I do.

Lives: Houston, Tx
Age: 17

Anime: anything that catches my eye (mostly violent)
Top anime: Black Butler
Top Game: Legend of Zelda (all of them)
Main Style of Art:
-Traditional (mechanical pencils only)
-Photoshop (color)
-Colored Pencils (not good with art pencils yet)

Nothing special about me, I am a protective friend...At age 5 I learned how to draw...at age 10 I got better and was interested in making comics and my own O.C's. I also began my own comic during my 9th grade year with a friend of mine named Marquis. I also started a comic in 11th grade with a friend Alina and also continued it now with Elizabeth. I am nothing but a drawer but the minute I hear a criticizer I will knock you out. Other than that just stay on my good side.
Now I am just the person who wants to get better with shading since I am someone who draws visually and without a visual.
I am also the person who likes to draw on my work from school. So all I can say is nice to meet all and joining up with MangaKid and Ike is a pleasure.
