A Few Sketches

[Warfrost]

I'm not the greatest artist, but since I have a working Wacom tablet now, I might as well attempt to draw well. I drew these in Paint Tool Sai, but since my trial is over it won't let me save it. So I have to copy and paste it into MS Paint or GIMP, both of which slaughter the quality of my drawings. But oh well, I still like feeling temporarily proud of something that I am bound to hate later. Therefore, I will share some of my latest work with you strangers simply to extend my embarrassment when I no longer like these sketches. Joy.



My style consists of a roughly drawn sketch, with scribbly lines and jaunty, pointy angles. Normally I use a decided set of colors, often enjoying the background to be black with lighter or brighter colors to really bring out the drawing. Make it pop in contrast. This wasn't suppose to be oh-so-amazingly good, I wanted to keep it simple and imperfect. It casts a comprehensive mood over the whole drawing I believe, personally. Might set this to my DA I.D. once I get an account. I just love slick-looking hats. If my tablet hadn't swallowed all the money in my cookie can I would have bought a hat similar to this one, only black with metal spikes instead of a red band. ...And yes, I do keep my money in a tin can primarily used to store animal crackers. Not a cookie jar, a cookie can. Yes. The best way to keep your money safe instead of putting it in the bank and either having it be robbed there or having the bank shut down. Anyway, how many burglars actually take the time to open a tin can with anthropomorphic creatures on it, hoping to find cookies, or rather, money? ('Course it sounds like something I would do, but eh...)

Machine

A rather rough sketch experiment, the first work done with my tablet and hopefully not the last. The logo for my site might look something like this, if not modified slightly. The quality was killed on this. Probably because of an overload of awesomeness (just let me lie to myself and boost my confidence a bit). I'm excited about getting Machine started on, as I have an overflowing amount of muse for it- specifically the plot.

I have yet to download Photoshop Elements 7, and I've been experiencing some problems with my computer so that the stupid program won't install. (Ticks me off, I swear.) But hopefully when I get it to work I can actually draw and save with ease, without the hassle of watching my pitiful drawings be brought to a whole different level of failure within the quality being shot.

Not really wanting any criticism on this, so don't bother. But if you really feel you have to, and you think it might be good advice to help me become somewhat better as an artist, then knock yourself out. Just be gentle.

Well, all I have to say is that your drawings are almost as great as your posts, though, if you don't mind me saying if I had to choose your book over your art book, I would do so in a heartbeat --but these are rough sketches are they not? Rhetorically. As so, I think you are an amazing artist and I, right now am cursing you at being good at everything and are high out of my league --which sucks, because I had at least convinced myself that I was better at you than something X3 Don't mind me, I don't care, it's just my very wordy way of saying YOU ROCK AMAZING PICTURES and so on and so forth. Of course I could've said "you're amazing" and left it at that, but I have high muse today and now I'm wasting it on a small post that does not involve my muse what-so-ever. Oh well! XD

Yes! Join DA that way you can look at my oh-so-hideous sketches on random people and my short enough muse on manga for which all the people's legs are twisted backward. D: Anyway, critic, comment and then I can get your I.D. and stalk you! No, sorry, high muse on nothing plus hyperness does not do well for the brain, thank you very much. According to my friend physical contact which includes hugging and shake one's hand forever is supposed to make one live longer, in which so she did both for about forty-five minutes until I could get away and try to kill myself. Ha! Now you think I'm crazy, so be it X3 A ton of physical contact for an eleven year old who wants to go on the computer is not my forte.

HOORAY FOR NEW SITES! Yes, once you get your site going, Machine, I must bring meh wolfies there ^^ That marks the exact twentieth site I shall be on, yet, I must join Warfare too, so..idk. And we must get MM up and running as well. -stares- I must comment on this to get rid of my endless muse for nothing, but while typing MM, I just thought of WW which concluded me to my shortish paragraph on this and then to dejavou (but spell check has no idea how to spell that so...) for which I feel like I've typed something like this before --hmm, on the contrary, typing my comments just makes me thing that I didn't, so now I feel like I'm crazy and can still not get rid of my muse.

CONTRAST! Nice idea, I must say white and red upon black is a splendid effect to the eye. It does seem to make things more iridescent --or maybe that's not quite the right word; maybe..idk..let's go with your little word and type 'pop' because it does.

Money in a tin can? Not too unusual, must I say it? ha, I guess it is a little, I don't know anyone who keeps money in a cookie jar versus a tin can; but then again, I don't know people who keep their money in either much anyway. Yup banks are what one shall call a 'major break in just waiting to happen', though with so many security checks etcetera, it would be hard --which then reminds me of the latest anime that I've been watching by the name of Code Geass which is not pronounced as Greece no matter how much my mind reads it that way, nor Gee-ass but manly, Gee-oss, the G is not pronounced as one would see Greece, but as one would say Glee. ANYWAY, yes, it reminds me of that in which some nice dude is actual evil and yes, I am running out of epic muse to explain it, so if your curiosity gets the better of you, look it up X3

Because my muse has now dwindled down to 1 out of 100 I must end this quickly by saying awesome job, I love it, and I just wasted my muse on not critiquing or completing much, but on how my brain works on a day that I have woken up at 12 noon and have eaten sugar first thing --I bow my head because I feel like writing that at the moment

Why thank-you, Evening. You and your hyper nonsense left me smiling and in a good mood. I've recently drawn two of my characters, a grey cat and a horror-themed wolf character. Both were done in MS Paint, because I didn't want to deal with Paint Tool Sai's crap. But they both suck so I'm a bit unwilling to actually show them as well. I mean, who wants to see a wolf wearing a black cloth/mask over his head, with only eye slits that lead into darkness and a broken, but still tight noose around his neck?

But thanks for the constructive criticism and compliments- they encourage me a lot. Especially the extra, random stuff that has nothing to do with this but is so you that I can't help but laugh. (Oh, and don't worry, I would always choose my book over my art book. Not that my writing has gotten any better though, since I've grown lazy with quality.)

And yeah. We need to stalk each other on DA. But I won't get an account until I'm 13 so that's around a month and a half away. On places like DA, I don't like going under a fake age. But don't worry. I'll drive you insane on DA as well one of these days.

Yes sir, I will. :3
