Hallo.

Lots of people seem to be talking about birthdays. I'll be 20 this year, round numbers always seem a bit scary. ^^;

Insert_Witty_Username 08-23-2010 06:14 PM

Turns out 16 wasn't scary at all. IN fact, it was the best birthday I've ever had :D

KatMagenta 08-23-2010 06:17 PM

Heh, my 16th was one of my worst but that's in the past now.

Glad you had a good day Witty. Have fun paying adult fares for everything!

Insert_Witty_Username 08-23-2010 06:21 PM

Haha, I got to pay kids fair for bowling on Saturday, but alas, no more D:

...I already have to pay adult fares for the cinema anyway and I don't really go anywhere else... and hell, if I do I can pass as a 12 year old :D

KatMagenta 08-23-2010 06:33 PM

Heh, good luck with that. ^_~

Get anything else nice other than chocolate?

Insert_Witty_Username 08-23-2010 06:37 PM

I'm 5'1" and get mistaken for one of the 11-year-olds at school frequently. I can do it ^^

I got copic markers, a fancy "moleskin" sketchbook, a Len (the vocaloid) model and a book of expressions to help with my art :D I'm sure there's something else I've forgotten...

KatMagenta 08-23-2010 06:43 PM

Woo, short people represent!

Sounds like a lot of arty things. My artistic flatmate covets moleskines. XD

Insert_Witty_Username 08-23-2010 06:46 PM

...Hey, do you have one of those pics in your siggy that changes every time you refresh? How does that work?

And yes, I'm very artistic :D

KatMagenta 08-23-2010 06:54 PM

The website I use is SignAvatar. I went to go and update the random image thing I had on tektek but it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm a scientist (okay, a Chemistry student) and nobody ever buys me chemicals or lab equipment. Boo.

I can provide you with calcium! 0:

Rainy has such a non-rainbow avi it scares Kinny. o.o

I want copic markers but they don't sell them locally, and I don't want to buy them without seeing them first, D:

Leerah 08-24-2010 01:42 AM

@Zazabar
They're really high quality and blend pretty well, but of course practice makes perfect with even some of the worse quality stuff. :3
Um, but you could get Prismacolor markers which work just as well[[maybe even better, depending on preference]] and they're a bit cheaper than Copics.

But if you meant you'd like to see them in person so you could see the actual color on paper instead of just online then oh~ x]
Good luck if you do buy online or from far away or something! D:

zazabar 08-24-2010 01:44 AM

Yeah.... I'm a total novice at art. 100% beginner kindergarten level. I'm still trying to learn to draw straight lines, and I'm 23, ~_~;

Leerah 08-24-2010 01:47 AM

Haha, gotta start somewhere! :3
And you can always use the cheaper markers so you can get better before you try out some of the more expensive ones.

I doodle a lot~ And prefer colored pencils over markers, but that's really only because I haven't really used markers at all.

zazabar 08-24-2010 01:49 AM

Any tips for getting better with lines? It's like my hands shake while I draw, so I get the most random jumps in my lines, xD;

Leerah 08-24-2010 01:53 AM

It's mostly just practice. x3

I had some pretty shaky lines too, and I noticed that a lot of people who draw end up having a shaky hand a lot, I guess cause their hand isn't used to drawing but used to writing. And your hand gets less shaky as you draw more. :3

And I looked at an art book once and some of the tips it had was sometimes if you're just bored just practice drawing lines going one way, then the other, like short strokes and long ones and stuff. And to practice drawing circles and squares, like basic shapes. :3 That way your hand kinda gets used to it, and those shapes and lines are what make up every drawing when you look at the basic shapes.

RainHitosha 08-24-2010 06:38 AM

i have copic markers! i got them at the last anime cons i went to but im not good at using them -_-; im really not that great of an artist but i try lol

KatMagenta 08-24-2010 12:02 PM

Heh, I can't draw to save my life. If you see me doodling I'm probably just drawing geometric shapes. XD

Flish 08-24-2010 02:37 PM

*rolls in* Mew! ^^-

Insert_Witty_Username 08-24-2010 02:39 PM

*rolls with Kinny* How are you? I got my exam results today! 6 Cs, a B and 2 Fs

Flish 08-24-2010 02:48 PM

Kinny is good, and now he has reason to worry about Witty's grades. :<

zazabar 08-24-2010 02:58 PM

Witty! *smacks with newspaper*

KatMagenta 08-24-2010 02:59 PM

Hallo.

Ah, GCSEs. Feels like forever ago. You going to sixth form/college Witty?

Insert_Witty_Username 08-24-2010 03:01 PM

Kinny: I got all the grades I needed... the 2 Fs are PE and RE... I have no use for them anyway
Zaza: D: owwie
