My mind just exploded…
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for everyone who commented, hugged, and etc. Out of all my pictures this one is worthy of a feature not because I love it myself but I made it for Sayura’s birthday! I feel 10 times more honored because of that.
I could go on forever but I don’t want this to be an endless speech.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AGAIN!
Good afternoon my lovelies!
If you haven’t already take a look at my latest atc card “Heart Break Mode”. Its my current favorite and thanks to the people how already commented, hugged, and faved it!
I’ve been practicing hard for my NYAF contest entry. I picked out a basic picture that I liked about two days ago. It has two mascots instead of one which I like. The biggest problem I had with it was the boy one. I wanted him to lean forward sketching but the pose was way out of my league. I want the anatomy to look right so when it came to positioning his arms and hands it was a hot mess. I did the pose in the mirror to get a better understanding of it and even if I could reproduce the pose, it looks unattractive. The body itself is super curled up and the position of the arms made it hard for me to even apply it to my own style. So I axed that pose idea and came up with a better suited one. Then today I did the girl’s position and I had tough time finding an equally good pose for her. After messing around I got what I originally wanted. She’ll be holding a pencil and paper looking all cute and what not. Since I didn’t want the boy to look out of place I’ll add a paint brush in his pose. I took a look at my sketches of both the mascots and I’m really enjoying what how it looks so far!
This contest is really bringing something out of me that I wanted for the longest time. Some hard core dedication, practice, and determination! I can even see how practicing anatomy is really kicking in my drawings. The same mistakes I’ve been having for years I can fix and know why it’s incorrect in the first place. It really makes me proud of myself that I can really put my heart and soul into something then see the results come about bit by bit. It’s also giving me insight on how I should go about all my serious pictures. I should look at the poses I want to draw for it. See how others drew about the same concept and get inspired. Seek help about the things I don’t know how to draw and etc. It’s just amazing… Because of this I might look into more art contests in the future.
My remaining packages haven’t come in yet. This is kind of reliving because I haven’t been making charms lately. I wanted to make a lot of donuts, cakes, and other things so when my supplies come I can just attach things together and etc. But I’ve been kinda lazy in that department. Then I use my drawing table for charm making so I always have to clean something up and make room. So it can be hard to just get up and start making stuff.
With that said I’ve have been thinking over about teaching some basic things about charm making and deco den. Like a series of tutorials of sorts. I know it will make people come to my blog and it’s good for getting myself out there. I see others do it with pretty good results if they keep up with it. Another thing I need to do with all my accounts like facebook and twitter. XD
Lastly I want to do is feature my friends art! I think it’s good to feature other artists since it gives a better chance for other unknown artists to get notice for their work. I’m not sure now many times I’ll do them but I’ll make sure I do them once in a while. Since this one will be my first “friendly feature” I’ll dedicate the whole post to my friends who want to be featured! I’ll pick my favorite pictures from you and say what I like most about them and you.
So if you want to be featured just comment below and I’ll showcase your art! :D
Oh yeah, I’m glad to see a feature fandom of a person I actually know! The comic is pretty cute even though I didn’t get it at first. XD
Have a good evening everyone!
