Life's Been Busy

Sun Mar 24, 2013, 9:44 PM
Oh gosh! Sorry I've been so inactive guys ;v; I was working nearly all of Spring Break and had a hectic week since. I should (I keep saying this but I'm pretty sure, about 70% this time) be not so busy after Tuesday. That should be the last of my midterms, unless more tests are sprung on me OTL

Anyways, for any who were curious, here's some of the crazy things that were going on this week:

Ahem. March 16 (my birthday)...
My friends tried to drown me. Twice. Perhaps it was their version of a surprise baptism. Just kidding. What actually happened was at the beach, one of them was trying to teach me to surf. Well...the ankle brace was on me and my friend took the surfboard from me. However...a wave crashed up behind us, took her out, and well, physics took over and dragged me under the water. Other than that it wasn't so bad. BUT, then my friends thought it would be fun to gang up on me, pick me up, and toss me into the deep end of the pool. Granted, it was only 5'7" deep...but i'm 5' nothing ._.

After Spring break, I was dying from studying for a Bio and Politics midterm.

Friday, I got locked in a clock tower. At oh...8:30ish at night. Me and my friends had to call campus security to let us out.

Saturday, played around with some other friends and helped her pick out wedding dresses and whatnot. That was really fun, but I didn't have the right shoes for it. Short story: I got my daily walk! Whoo!

Sunday, we went to a hockey game and I half jumped/half fell out of the car. We were at a stoplight and I was going to get the tickets with another friend while the driver searched for parking. The light turned green, she was going, so I had to slam the door as I fell out uvu I got mad during the hockey game and yelled at the refs that they were cockblocks :I They were not letting the hockey players fight. AT LEAST THEY SHOULD HAVE LET THEM HIT THE ICE BEFORE BREAKING IT UP! I MEAN, REALLY! GIVE US WHAT WE PAID FOR!!! Other than weirding out some people around me for yelling that, it was all good^^

**Ooh and almost forgot one last exciting thing. I had my fetal pig dissection last monday! Of course with my luck...I would get the freak pig. It had gigantic kidneys that the lab teacher had to come look at to identify uvu I should have known when I came into class thinking...I want to name my pig Oz. Magic. Oh, and there was extra credit if we could get the pig brain and stem out in one piece. Me and my partner were so close. SO. VERY. CLOSE. but we accidentally cut the brain stem after all the hard work of trying to cut the skull apart and take the head off and everything D<

So, those are the highlights of my week. What I can remember at least. I'll just be studying for the last of my midterms this week and I should be back to commenting and stalking and everything >uO)b

Hope you all had or are having a wonderful spring break!

I've Found HIM!!

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 5, 2013, 2:19 PM
My Gallery | Watch me | Note me

**sorry minor edit I got too excited at the picture.

So my friend was joking with me that our soul mates are out there somewhere but that hers was driving a bus and mine is a merman who got sliced in half by that bus, resulting in her soul mate getting killed in the process with an after-crash. I agreed and said at least I have a better chance of the ocean returning a piece of my soul mate and that it was meant to be.

BUT. NOW I KNOW WHAT MY SOUL MATE SHOULD  LOOK LIKE.



Thank you tumblr |D

Level Up

Journal Entry: Mon Nov 5, 2012, 10:03 AM
Because i'm so lazy all the time, I was trying to think of a way that would motivate me to be more productive. And what did I think of?

GAMING. Leveling up, competition and all that, motivates me uvu

So every time I finish something on the checklist I made, I get a certain number of points (exp?) as a reward.

I might go look up the pokemon leveling up system and make an OC that levels up. Like pokemon. or God-tier. Idk.

But anyways, I thought this was a fun idea and just wanted to share with you guys~

Ask Crack-Sensei - Mini Art Dojo

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 18, 2012, 6:44 PM
So yeah guys, ask me whatever you like, such as requests for specific tutorials, tips that you would like on certain programs, personal questions |D, whatever you can think of~ If you've ever wondered something or wanted to ask me, I'll be happy to listen~ :iconimbishieplz:

I'll also be happy to give critiques if you ask for it on a specific picture^^ Just remember that I'm busy, so please request a request on a picture that you worked relatively hard on~ The best critiques only come from what you do not know, so you should demonstrate your skills to the fullest~ [And I will try not to be cruel, but don't expect me to do major ego-boosting either^^;] And i'm still on a learning curve too, so my critiques will probably be quite limited OTL

:damphyr: What materials do you use for traditional coloring?
:star:Where I get relatively cheap supplies from: [link]
Sakura Micron Pens (black and sepia) - Line art
Schmincke Metallic Water Color -  accents
Glitter Gel Pens - accents
Nail Polish - accents
Soho Urban Artist Water Color
Copic Marker
Prismacolor Markers
ShinHan Touch Markers
Bic Permanent Markers
Prismacolor Pencils
Derwent Inktense Pencils
Daler & Rowney Acrylic Paint
Mungyo Soft Oil Pastel
SoHo Urban Artist Color Pencil


:damphyr:How do you draw complicated outfits?
For the most part I study clothes and pick out design pieces of outfits that I like and put them together.
:star:Here's a link to where I collect a lot of clothes and other references: [link]
Tutorial: [link]


:damphyr:How do you shade?
There's plenty of tutorials on dA on how to shade, but I'll list some advice on common mistakes of shading that I've noticed.
:bulletyellow: Make your shading noticeable - I've often observed the lightest of shading that's hard to notice. Don't be afraid to make more dramatic shading! Your drawings will look very flat unless you define your shadows more.
:bulletyellow: Shadows are usually purple/blue saturated, not pure grey. You'll have warm greys, cool greys, purplish hues for warm colors and blueish hues for cool toned objects.
:bulletyellow: Have a range of colors if you're doing skin tones or even fur - darkest shaded tones, middle tones, average skin tone, highlights.
:bulletyellow: Don't abuse the airbrush tool, shadows will fade out, but they'll have sharp contrasts usually rather than fuzzy all over. Lightly blend the colors out, and don't blend them too far.

I hope these bits helped a bit ;v; I'll try and get a tutorial up one of these days for it OTL
