   We meet once again...
Hey, haven't updated in ages O.o''


My exams finished last week. I've been so busy now lately with so many commitments I hav no time for myself. And how were my exams?

Well I'm happy I didn't fail any! I take all my subjects on higher grade, so in other words, they're crap and difficult. Oh and that maths one exam that I said wasn't so difficult, I got 59% for it. I got the highest in my art class for my art prac exam! (that painting and shit) 86% for my painting! My teacher said that I hav a rich imagination ^_^'''

Neway I went to a party and failed my breath-alyser test my mom gave me so I can only go out to the movies now. I'm 17 already, what difference does one year make till I'm legal? Newayz just had to update, so see ya'll around n.n

Job Shadow: Only if u’re lucky enough to be at a school who does this. For a specific amount of days everyone in ur grade/standard goes to a company, and “shadows” an employee. Which means u basically just sit there and watch the person work and ask questions (be in the persons shadow ^_^). Wise to choose a company/place of work that’ll relate to your occupation one day, so that u can at least see first hand at what u’re getting yourself into.

Da Tips XP

Some stuff that an illustrator told me on how to improve my drawing etc.

- Never become too proud of your work, there’ll always be someone better than you (I don’t rate myself too highly, I never did. Just incase u thought it was a direct criticism at me. I was and never will be full of my work)
- ALWAYS use construction when drawing plp (cylinders, squares, “thingies” etc)
- Always use linear perspective when drawing; it will give your picture more depth (trust me, u can’t do without it.)
- Be loose when drawing so that the character is more natural and comfortable looking. (use a H pencil for construction and planning and use a darker pencil for eyes etc like 3Bm, pm me if u don’t undastand and I’ll show u.)
- Get a book on how to draw the human body.
- Draw from realism; it’ll help your drawings seem less synthetic and flat. Rather concentrate on drawing realistically than drawing anime. Anime is based on realism (duh) so rather work forwards than backwards.
- NEVER copy pictures, you’re just wasting your time (taking an original picture and just duplicating it). You will go nowhere with that. Besides it being tracing, it’s very uncreative and cheap. It’s ok if it’s only practicing, but trying to post it as ur own work? Give me a break! God gave u an imagination pls use it! (OK, this point only applies if u are planning to go into the industry, pls, no offense if u aren’t mkay? It’s NOTHING PERSONAL! ^_^’’)
- That’s another thing. Always welcome criticism; it’ll help u become a better artist (and person ^_^). Plp only crit with intensions of helping u, so take it as a favor and never personally. (If the person does it with intensions of being nasty, they’re an asshole, but take their crit into consideration there may be some truth in it. We go back to the point in not being too full of ur work *_*)
- Practice makes perfect and don’t give up.
- Only go into the industry if u have a passion for drawing, and NOT because ur an otaku. My friend, u will find urself very screwed if that is the reason ur gonna become an illustrator… be realistic n.n
- Last point, hard work is the key phrase (is it a phrase? Who cares, sounds good don’t it?). Don’t expect to achieve greatness if u aren’t going to work ur ass off O.o

Hope this’ll help u guyz and if u’ve got more questions just ask n.n I won’t bite ;P And don’t panic with what I’ve just told u, if ur still in school and not in ur last year, you’ve got lotz of time to think about this :D

   Job Shadow
Hey everybody :)

For the past three days now I've been on my job shadow (it ended today :( )
I was shadowing illustrators! (I kno I'm one lucky be hutch) I've learnt so much so you should see a massive improvement in my work :P They also critted my work (cringe) no worries it wasn;t that bad... but I was ecstatic to get proffesional crit on my work and ya I've got a LOT of hard work ahead of me and lots of improvements. Being in the comic industry is difficult, I saw a little of it and believe me, if you aren't a hard worker forget about it. Neway if u guyz want to hear some of the tips they gave me then just ask and I'll post em. They said I can come back and the one guy will teach and help me more so that's exactly what I'm gonna do. If ne1 goes on job shadows, pls take advantage of them, look whats happened to me! An amazing window of opportunity has opened up for me from it. Newayz later n.n
