If my life was an anime it would be one funny series! With that being said my name is Nathan Mendoza and I have been drawing since I was about 13 yr old. I started off with doing piece work for tagging and did that till I was about 17. I stopped drawing for about 7 years until I decided I wanted to become a manga artist. I don't work on my drawing skills as much as I should now that I am taking classes for drawing in college I know I can reach my goal. I will try to put out at least one drawing a week and I would love to have everyone’s help in helping me achieve my goal (or at least one of them) so comment (good or bad) help a lot! Thanks for stopping by and my guestbook is always open ^_^
Well I am pulling double duty on the blogging here. If you have not been keeping up with my world called ‘The Wire’ then you have been missing out to say the least. I went on a date and also been working on my art as well. All these things are on my world so stop by sometime and check it out.
I am working on my first background; I want to make it for my background of my world. I am really leaning toward doing it on Lain (from SE Lain). The style I want to do it in is a little complex but that is half the fun I think. I am going to work on it and see if I can do it. I have Adobe Illustrator CS3 so I have a powerful enough program to pull it off but we will have to see how my computer skills are.
Hey Everyone! I have been a super busy bee with my college studies and what not BUT I do have some time to update this website even though it’s 1:30am my time lol. I post a lot more in my world titled ‘The Wire’ you know after Serial Experiment Lain (I thought that series was cool). So I will update this as much as I can but my world is where to go. Oh if anyone wants to be a guest poster on my world just let me know and I will add you.
Anyway, my younger bother and I opened an anime store recently; we are going to first launch a web based store and then branch off to a physical store in the Denver Metro Area. We already have a few vendors supplying are anime needs and are motto is ‘The Otaku friendly store” so we are always looking for vendors at a great cost so we can pass the savings on to our customers. For our physical store we already have some stock for but we are not to the capacity we would like to be at yet so we decided that we will continue building stock and launch the physical store by spring of next year.
I have been working a lot on my techniques for drawing, especially on antinomy and proportion. With the help of my professor, I feel more confident with my drawing ability and I am going to continue to work on those areas as well as other areas like color theory and Character design. I am so surprise at all the drawing knowledge I have learned and that I am learning at Art College. Before at other colleges I was the one in the back always drawing and getting yelled at but now I am the one sitting in front drawing and my professors are giving me pointers on how to make my art better. I swear this is what a real college should be like lol. Well it’s about that time to be going to bed so I am going. Talk to yall later…
