I've been doing a...I guess...little bit...not really that much. My head started to hurt so I stopped...XD I dunno if that's a wise decision.
I brainstormed for my portfolio thing so at least I can tell myself that I brainstormed today. I remembered that I have crayons and that crayons exist so I will definitely do a picture with crayons! *.*
Crayons are love~! They're heavily underrated because most people don't really think that you can use them to do some really brilliant pictures. I like them more than pastels...I dunno why. They're just really fun to use. They're also really cheap and come in TONS of different shades of colours~! <333 I also like them a bit more than coloured pencils...but they're about the same in my liking...O.o;
I found some website called conceptart.org. It's an EXCELLENT website and I think I'll make use of it by bookmarking it and using it for help. I originally used it for help on what kind of college to go to and then what kind of portfolios count as good portfolios (because the thing I'm applying for has no examples so I'm REALLY nervous). It inspires me and lessens the stress and it makes me want to work on my portfolio thingy. It also has lots of tutorials and the artists on there are, well, of course, amazing. I think the majority are professionals or close to professionals. So I think it's a really good website for learning stuffs.
I suggest you guys check it out also.
And there's this artist who I just LOVE on DA even though they do cartoon-y styled art...something about their art style...I like them more than most of my favourite artists:
And here's another artist who is really awesome at drawing things with lines! *.*
Just thought I'd show you guys that in case you need some inspiration or something. I like looking at people's portfolios on DA for inspiration...*.* They really make me want to colour or something! <333
Also this is really good for art blocks (I now always keep it in mind if I might get a block):
I want to draw something for New Years...hrmm...
My Chinese teacher gave us all presents for New Years. I got a book mark and I AM SOOOO HAPPY! <333 Why? Because I've been thinking about buying a new book mark or making a bookmark or something, but I don't need to anymore because I now have an awesome book mark! >:D And it's like a serious book mark. It's made out of metal and it's shaped so that it really keeps the page. It's great! >:D The design thingy on the end is of a Queen's...ummm...clothing thing....O.o; I forgot what she said it was, but it's in the shape of a shirt. My friend thought it was a cross and was very confused! XD
I also finally did the designs for one of my one shots. Here are well...probably the only slightly major characters in it...or the only characters...O.o;:
The main characters are the boy in the top right corner and the blonde guy next to him. It's obviously shounen-ai with me saying that...XD The old guy is the brown haired boy's father and the girl next to the old guy is his older sister. His older sister is bleck. She's a meany butt...>3> And the girl with the red hair is his fiancée. She's actually very nice, but a bit clingy.
The setting is in the victorian era, just so ya know. The girl with the red hair is actually the second cousin of the guy with brown hair and the guy with blonde hair is the son of the family's maid. There's a group of servants who've worked for the family all their lives and he's one of them. He's the brown haired boy's butler guy...like designated butler or something...O.o;
Well...I guess you could probably see where it's all going...XD
I'm gonna go check out that concept art site some more! XD
