Dad is only one home, cuz Mom is in NYC singing for something. >3> Dad is asleep, and doesn't understand Kinny's needs. He is stereotypical recovering-from-midlife-crisis dad who is born again too-strong Christian... Has money and is nice though, so Kinny doesn't want to freak out around. >3>

Oh ok. Well maybe you could start a free art club if there are a lot of people in the area, people who are as dedicated as you.

Kinny's sister draws when she's bored, and is trying to go from doing anime-style to doing realistic style. *noddle* She thinks she stinks at bodies.

@Crazy: Please do! D8 Kinny can't or the foster kids will be taken away, and so will several hundred dollars in income. >3>

See, I cannot possibly relate to another artist who draws because she's sad and does not care about what she actually draws. I want to produce high quality artwork.
I write when I'm sad.

This art club does nothing but hire nudes for artists to draw. It's really kinda limiting in that respect since I want to go beyond drawing people figures. And it cost $10 each time.
I'd prefer if the club would mix it up a bit and move on to other subjects.

I wish i could draw but i can't so i write poetry

I wish I could write better, but I know to improve my writing skills will take exactly the same amount of time and energy I put into trying to produce quality artwork. So I write at a hobbyist's level.

i usually just write and it comes so easily.

A regular art club can get inspiration or criticism from others. I'm sure you could have an object or photo, something to inspire a painting/drawing. Or just draw with people, converse, eat snacks, etc. Sometimes clubs are a good way to meet people too, whether you want to sell art or not.

Claudia: that isn't always true.....or else there wouldn't be any high quality work.

I wish the people at my club would have criticised my artwork. Because they are all better then me.
I'm not a terrible artist or anything, the other artists in this club are all just that good.
Then again, maybe all they can draw is nude people figures.
They just draw the entire time, not interested in chatter, then they all leave.

Because Kinny already bitched at them, and they think that because they're foster kids, they can get away with all sorts of shit, so they don't LISTEN to me. They won't, either... Even if Kinny pulls his knife on them. >.<

I've never drawn a male model, only females came to my club. I'd like very much to draw a nude male since I am female IRL and can see a nude female body in the mirror. It's the nude male I can never see.

i need a couple more gears and i can get the second item. but i still need to get the first.....

I have only gotten items from the event store. Haven't figure out yet how to get the others.

*wanders in* Hey all, I'm back from my nap.

Claudia: that art club doesn't sound very helpful or engaging. Just don't give up, you'll find a good environment. There's gotta be someone who is on the same page as you.

crazymuch: HAHAHAHAHAHA oh my......that made me laugh so hard. Kept getting smaller.........why the heck did he have a boner in the first place???? Was that the requirement to show up XD

I don't get what the deal is with nudes anyway......Half of the art books you look at will have half of the art as naked women. Is this where women being a sex object started??? hmm....or maybe it started with adam and eve.........alledgedly

What on earth did I wake up to...0.0

Lol, it's a dominatrix...XD

This talk of boners and art classes. 0.o

Drawing nudes is really necessary to understand overall body forms. If you are into that kind of art.
For me it's just a tool since I draw cartoons. I hope it helps me draw better cartoons. I really have no desires to draw realistically anymore.
