8D Hey CC!

CK 04-21-2008 11:09 PM

@Paprika - A good eye for detail isn't bad. :) But if you want to create purely original stuff, you have to start all over from the very beginning like everyone else. XD And not get frustrated that you're a beginner.

If you want to draw comic style, get How to Draw the Marvel Way. If you want to draw manga style, there are dozens of beginner manga drawing books (I recommend the How to Draw Manga series over the knock-off series, though). If you want to do more realistic things, there are lots of how-to books of those sorts too. :)

But even if you choose manga or comic style, you need a good foundation in drawing realism. That's where your eye for detail comes in handy. You can do life-studies of your hands and feet and family and bowls of fruit and that helps a lot in drawing a stylized style. :3

XD I suppose, im gonna wait and see after getting bills paid and some new things my BF and i have been saving up for before i go crazy on getting art stuff

CK 04-21-2008 11:26 PM

::nodnods:: Understandable. :D

And you can get art books and supplies used and in good condition. :3 eBay is a great place!

Corrie 04-21-2008 11:48 PM

I get most of my stuff from the dollar store.
Well the sketch notebooks. C: <333
I buy my pencils and erasers at this Korean store. =o
If you want to practice drawing and ideas, you should start with sketch book, (led)pencil, and eraser. C:

I rarely use my colour pencils unless I actually plan to work on a /finished/ image...which is rare. LOL

Thoth Star, I drew a quick scribble for you.
Check the first post. ;D <3

@Paprika //
Hehe yea, but a friend is coming over tonight, so I don't know if I can open freebies again. *o*

Corrie ||
Ooh wow, cherry blossom park sounds gorgeous. C:
You should take photos for the Earth Day photo contest!

Afterglow ||
Lolol, I've spent a lot on art lately as well. xD;

CK 04-22-2008 12:22 AM

I have a lot of Dollar Store art supplies too. LOL.

I try to buy my 'good' sketchbooks discounted. XD And I prefer buying a ream of cardstock to a pad of Bristol paper. XD

The only places I really am willing to spend a bit of money are on costume reference books, some how-to-draw books, good inking pens (though I use the two dollar ink pens from Wal*Mart's arts'n'crafts section too, not just Copics) and markers (Copics again). XD

Afterglow 04-22-2008 12:28 AM


CAROO: you have 20k. .-.
D8!

Caroline 04-22-2008 12:49 AM

I want V-Day 07 stuffles. :<

I don't know how I managed to save up this much, really. xD;;

Paprika 04-22-2008 12:51 AM

Currently wanting a sash, but I'll offer on the hairpin or pop if I see one up for sale, since they are kind of rare. I love the belt. <3 It's probably my favourite of the 2007 Valentine's items. Good luck getting it!

xuvrette 04-22-2008 12:56 PM

There is a lot of free art threads...

Corrie 04-22-2008 01:49 PM

@Anna //
LOLOL kayyy. C:

@Afterglow //
It's going okay. C: I just finished some art trades I had on another site.
I am trying to shorten my list of the things I need to draw. xD;

If I get to finish this math homework, I'll do a few more freebie scribble.. maybe <o<
A friend is over, but she is still sleeping.
And my bros are still snoozing too. So until everyone wakes up, I am doing homework and then free time. XD;

@Winter Wind //
Yayy. I am super happy you like it.
Sorry for the weird legs. I ran out of white space to draw the legs normally, so I had to squish them in. :D;;
Yep! We have a cherry blossom park in my town.
And recently the town has been planting cherry blossom trees all over town.

@Caroline //
I did! C: I only submitted like 5-6 photos of Earth Day images.
I think I put one of my cherry blossom photos in. ^o^
You can check them out if you want. ;D
My submission is around the top.
My favorite is the Mr. Lady one. C: Yay for lady bugs~

@Ck //
Ooo. I don't own any copic markers, although I would like to have some so I can practice. *o*
Some of my art supplies were from my school since I am in Studio Art, I get to use anything I want. hehehee. XD

@Popcorn Gun //
Yes I did! I went to bed at 10:30PM! xD
Because my friend came straight from work to my place and then weird enough both of us were tired after just talking and talking about life issues.
lololll I love my friend. Her stories are the funniest. XD
I even fell off my bed laughing.

@Xuvrette //
Yep! C: <3 I need to check some of them to see if I was accepted to get some freebies. ^o^;
