All right, so in the interest of forcing myself to draw more, I've taken up a bit of a 30-day drawing challenge. The challenge is as follows ( Read more... )

Felt like sketching something today, so here's Hinata. Done in SAI using the Legacy Brush, which I quite like since it's very smooth to sketch with ( Read more... )

Okay, so I kind of disappeared down the black hole that is RP for a while there (which I'll probably elaborate on further in another post,) but I'm still drawing and stuff. I recently picked up Illustrator CS5 for my birthday, and I've been puttering around with that a bit. It's quite a step up from the old version of Illustrator I had (8, which ( Read more... )

Wow that was fast, I cranked out another picture as a Halloween holiday commemorative type thing. It has Sasori and L, for no real reason other than that I love the both of them (or maybe the RP is giving me weird ideas!)

Clearly Sasori is not a happy kitty; L totally stole his lollipop.

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted anything! I've kind of gotten seriously sucked into kannagara_rpg; I've been having loads of fun playing Sasori over there. A bunch of you are already playing, but if you're not, we're always on the lookout for new players! We'd especially love to see some more non-Naruto characters.

My fic has been languishing a little, ( Read more... )

I was bored out of my mind since my flist and IM are currently dead, so I set up a Tegaki Blog page. This is one of those Japanese picture blog-type sites; what I find really interesting about it is that almost every element of your page is a picture you draw within the online drawing app. Even the tags are icons rather than text-based. Of course, ( Read more... )

HELL YEAH, my favorite Reno/Tifa fic, Water Under the Bridge by iknowthewords, got updated! In its honor I had to make a Turks icon, and found this cool pic on pixiv by Katokichi.

This fic has been a WIP since 2003, I hope it won't take me that long to finish up the ones I'm working on. O_O

Speaking of WIPs, I realize that I have way too many, and ( Read more... )

I haven't really been drawing that much lately because I've been writing a lot of fanfic for the past week or so, so I decided to whip something up to post. It's an oekaki BBS-style picture of my favorite Akatsuki members, Sasori and Deidara. I'm really fond of the aliased look for some reason, probably because the Legacy Pen tool in PaintTool SAI ( Read more... )

Art stuff:

I picked up another anatomy book today, The Book of a Hundred Hands by George Bridgman. It's pretty awesome, I recommend it if hands are a problem area in drawing for you like they are for me.

I haven't done a lot of drawing over the past few days, in lieu of writing, but I did work on my original pic a bit. I've also been doing some ( Read more... )

I stopped by the bookstore today and picked up a couple of things. First, an artist's hand model to help me out with drawing one of the banes of my existence, decent looking hands. I've also been looking for good books on writing, and I ended up buying Self-Editing for Fiction Writers after seeing favorable reviews and recommendations for it on the ( Read more... )
