Why am I still awaaaake... -.-; Thanks, Harvest.

EDIT: Sorry for being off-topic, but... LOOK AT THE ADORABLE LITTLE BABY PRINCESS PEACH AAAAAH SHE'S SO CUUUUUTE!!! http://www.mariowiki.com/Baby_Peach

Just remember, your better than me.

Also I thought that was her lips licking a bubblegum and I realized it was a pacifier.

uncanny Valley if you imagine it is lips.

by arcaneScribbler Wed Apr 17, 2013 2:56 pm

It makes me kinda want to attempt a "baby princess Sasha"... Wink

I'm no "better" than anyone. Just a self-taught, still-learning scribbler who can't draw a straight line with a RULER (I always accidentally push the ruler crooked partway through), and that's fine with me! Smile

If that's true (and I'm not sure if it is), you and I are at the same level.

What, me not being able to manage a straight line even with a ruler? Why would I lie...? ^.^;

by CrimsonMage Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:03 pm

I have no idea. You just seem a little better than make yourself out to be.

by Shailsnic Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:05 pm

Don't ruin the illusion Crimson, when one believes they are bad at something and truly love what they do for what it is, they will strive to become better at it, even if they are good already.

(I know this because I do it to myself.)

by Harvest Ty Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:13 pm

Yeah when any artist finds a way to better themselves...they gey better, if they feel completely content, they'll never improve. :'O

Your art is cute by the way aS~ :'D

by arcaneScribbler Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:17 pm

*shrug* maybe I am, maybe I'm not, I guess? I'm a heck of a lot better than I was when I started teaching myself though, that's for sure.

Thanks, Harvest-- but yeah NOPE, in my mind someone who is completely 'content' with the quality of their work isn't an artist. Being your own worst critic is an important part of being an artist, even just a hobbyist-artist like me-- that way you push yourself to get better and keep an eye out to watch for any resurfacing old bad habits and nip 'em in the bud. :flowercard:

Wow arcane you're pretty good!

And that chart... it scares me....

How do I study art?

I tried reading a few guides online once but they were all...

Doodles and Scribblings from ArcaneScribbler (Also, Punies.) - Page 2 How_f051e7_1734336

So yeah... not helpful in the slightest.

by arcaneScribbler Thu Apr 18, 2013 5:38 pm

Yeah, I don't generally use online guides outside of video tutorials and reference images... Or watching SpeedPaints, if that even counts. I have a bunch of "how to draw manga" books that I've gathered over the past few years that I use. Also, any sort of picture encyclopedia or other such good source of picture reference is always handy!

...Is it weird that I've been using the Zodiac emotes the same way as the Sollux's Shades emote, meaning as the punchline to corny fail-jokes/puns...? ^.^;

by Shailsnic Thu Apr 18, 2013 5:52 pm

Boop. (It's a link to fanart, I already sent her the picture via PM earlier.)

Edit 2: AAAAAH I'M SUCH A JERK SHAIL I'M SO SORRY; FIXED *hangs head in shame*

~~Harvest Ty~~ Shailsnic made me adorable fanart of Punelipi~ Thanks again, ~~Ty!!!!~~ Shail!!!

Stuck it in a spoiler because it's a bit big...

Spoiler:

EDIT: Lol, ninja'd. Posting this anyway for max convenience/lazy-friendly-ness, though, and because "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I HAVE FANART HOW DO I EVEN AAAAAAH :cuteshyla:

"

...Yeah, think I'm gonna use :cuteshyla:

for whenever I'm having a 'squee flail' moment from now on...

I have a book for you guys, Its a AMAZING read for tutorials and fundamentals for forms and anatomy, even for cartoons.

Andrew Loomis's "Fun with a Pencil"

http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/Andrew%20Loomis%20-%20Fun%20WIth%20a%20Pencil.pdf

Loomis has some great stuff, so if you like that, I have a few other books of his you can read. It really breaks things down for you.

I shall now mentally praise you for providing the links to these books, I've been needing more material to study upon!

I AM NEVER PMING WITH 2 PEOPLE AT ONCE AGAIN, IT MAKES ME AN UNINTENTIONAL JERK..... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH. SHAIL I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY. TT^TT

by Shailsnic Thu Apr 18, 2013 9:59 pm

$Oh hey it\'s Tripsy$ It's all cool friend, no harm done right?

by arcaneScribbler Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:01 pm

I still feel like a jerk, but thank you for forgiving me... -.-; I was PMing back and forth between you and Harvest at the same time and mixed you both up by mistake... Which makes me feel even more like a butt since you posted right there above me here with it and I didn't even realize and- okay, stopping with the pity ramble. Sorry. -.-;

by Shailsnic Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:04 pm

Nah, it doesn't make you a jerk, made you look more like a lovable goof than a jerk. As I said, it's all good! $Oh hey it\'s Tripsy$

by Harvest Ty Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:07 pm

I agree with the awesome statement above. :'3
