well I am done with the semester. I actually worked really really hard on my grades. I was borderline near academic probation. :( yeah not too good nor too bright on my part. There was alot going on in my family. My mom got really really sick. SHe almost died, and she is doing much better but she still has a lot of heart problems the doctors can' tdo anything about. So that was real fun trying to concentrate on school plus my younger sister who happens to be my best friend does not get along with my mom. SO I had me mother pulling me one way and my sister pulling me the other way, both wanting me to side with them. * yeah * happy times. WHen I am stressed I don't freak out I just stop doing things and become very relaxed. like instead of doing the 15 page paper that is 35 percent of my grade I played video games or read or watched tv. So yeah. basically to solve problem I moved out. :) my mom still calls me my sister still calls me and both still vent to me about the other but this way they can work their problems out on their own with out pulling me into it or having me butt into it. :blush: I have a tendancy to stick mynose into other people's business to "help" them. I really do mean to help especially when they are pointlessly arguing and saying the exact same thing but they don't see it. :) anyways so all around it was good to move out. ALthough I do miss knowing what is going on. Anyways now that school is done I hope to find more artists to watch on here, finish about five of the pictures I was close to finishing, read a bizzilion books (not quite but close), and finish at least 2 of my video games. :) All of theat will be accomplished whenever I am not working which is periodically. :) well how is everyone elses summer plans and summers if you are on summer break going?

80s are good. I think having a B average is fine. And I was not meaning to sound fogey and give you a lecture if that is the way it sounded. :)
lol, nah I don't mind my age, to be honest. I am not going to be one of those people who are 30, 5 years in a row.
Isn't weird sometimes what the human body can naturally do? You know when you look at a pic and it looks odd because the form and direction of the hand seems wrong? man, from some angles our hands or bodies look so strange, unpractical, and unreal.

hmm 14....hmm I wish I could draw as well as you at 14. wow, I feel old. :D nah, not really. That is one of the things I love about DA or other community art sites is you have people of all age ranges in variance of skill.

Well, I can defiently tell you that I have drastically improved since I first started. And especially in the last few months. Yeah you have nailed one of the biggest problems I have had in the past is I don't use refereneces. I used to feel like that a true artist did not uses references. yeah that is a load of bunk which I now know is bunk. :) Which is why I have drastically improved in the last few months because I got a couple books and I began drawing practices from them.

lol, don't ignore your schooling too much. It sets a bad presidence for the rest of your schooling career. Believe me, I home schooled through high school. And I was not one of those kids that was self motivated to actually do my school work. And now I am in college and still not motivated to do school work :).

Anyways, thankyou for the encouragment. :hug:

Thankyou so much for reccommending her to me. She is amazing! you are right she has this blend of anime/manga with more realistic hues, proportions, and shading.
hmm your current age is... what the heck!?.... okay well you are older than 12 since that is when you sorta started drawing manga/anime. ... how old are you?
I personally have only started really attempting to draw anime/manga for the last 2 years. for the most part I can not get the faces right. A lot of what I would post are faceless because I can draw bodies but not anime/manga faces to my satisfaction. I am considering just posting them as is anyways.

life got busy.:shrug: who's life isn't.
Actually this account is mostly an expirament. I typically do not draw anime/manga style. I love to watch and read anime/mangas. I also love the style but my art tends to be in the field of realism. I personally don't consider my anime/manga art to be very good so I am putting up my anime/manga art to see what people think of it.
