Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Design Contest WIN 4000 POINTS, 20$ AND MORE!I've wanted to hold a design contest for a long time now, and finally I've gathered enough points to do it :D

Everything! Wolves, foxes, fennec foxes, ferrets, servals, bobcats, tigers, other big cats, small cats, deers, dragons, gryphons, dogs, birds, hybrids, original species.. bring it!
I'm leaving the details to your imagination, but here are some things I really like:
-White base color with black and red markings<33 (mostly on canines)

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n
Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you  finally  made  the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq  to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean  more quality to the paintings, am i right?. 
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only  to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings,  only to feel dumb and no

Trying to get back on the horse...

:iconnemesis-19:

After rarely sketching or drawing in the past eight years or so, I'm trying to get back into drawing again. Drawing consumed the majority of my life and I miss it being a part of me. I was never fantastic and always had much to learn, but i enjoyed it. I have lost a lot of my previous talent and am now struggling to get it back. Any help or criticism is very much appreciated!

Lol, lets try to row in the same direction. Going in circles sucks! lol. All we can do is keep practicing right? And I'm sure you're a much better writer as well :)

Well, writing is my forte, but I have to draw, since my current project no one can decipher what's in my head...kind of like drawing though. But we'll keep each other moving! I have been doing this seriously for three months, but I hope I am better on the computer...

start easy

here's a fail safe.

sketch things from life 10 minutes a day. try to visualize the object in 3D in your mind as you're drawing it.

then from there build on it.

Great advice! I'll have to make that part of my daily routine.

:) stuff a small sketch/doodle-book into your pocket and whenever you have a few minutes free (i.e waiting for the oven/bus/laundry etc) whip out a pencil and start sketching. nevermind quality for the moment. your aim is to get as much as possible on paper.

then when you have more time start pieces which need much more time and quality.

basically break it up. always doing the former will most likely cause the rest of your skills to atrophy.

even things you've always been able to do right from the start.

(=,= trust me, i've always been able to push around paint and make it do my bidding. then one day i woke up and found that i couldn't paint anymore)

That's funny, when I was much younger my sketch book never left my side. I guess life just sort of gets in the way sometimes. Now that you mention it, I noticed that I've slowly been leaving sketch books in just about every room of my house. lol. I'll try to consciously take you advice now that my eyes are opened. thank you.
