So I made an art journal, both on LJ and on DreamWidth. It'll be where I post my sketches/WIPs/finished stuff! It'll also be used to post poetry if the inspiration comes.

LJ: [link]

DW: [link]

Feel free to add/watch/friend me

I'll still be posting my finished stuff on DA of course, but I figured I'd let you guys know |D

I dunno if I'll ever get to it but it sounded interesting:

The rules

1.) Make 100 pics each pic having a theme listed below. Each pic should have ONE and only ONE theme to it, for it to count.

2.) No time limit so have fun

3.) The main picture should be drawn but not limited to. For all fair purposes, people are allowed to use their paint programs and photoshop to create the pic.

3a.) pics should be of own artistic ability. You may not edit photos, or break any other rules set out in the deviantArt etiquette policy. Your pics can be anything from sketches and doodles to great master pieces. Just have fun with it.

4.) The list below is to be placed somewhere in your journal for others to see that...
A.)You are in the challenge
B.)What you have completed

5.) make sure to update this list and check off what is done and make a link to the pic

6.) In the comments for your art work note if it is part of the list and what ONE theme it is.

_________New News________

Just in case anyone is interested a friend and I have created an Art community for the two of us to dump our sketches/art at and you're welcome to watch it if you'd like! I'll probably be posting more sketches than anything else, because I never post them on DA

It's over here: [link]

________________________________
~~~~~~Commissions~~~~~~~~~
Just wondering if anyone would be interested? I know I've posted about this before but didn't get any answers. Now that there are more people I'm just gonna ask again XD; I don't have a paypal account yet but I will be using that if and when anyone wants a commission from me. I just hope I can set it up .-.~ Oh and please only let me know if you'd be interested/willing~

~~~~~~~~~Art~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other than that! I've been working some more on my 'Gaara Thoughtful' drawing. Slowly but surely, as always. I just need to get the vest, pants, and shoes done, plus some sort of background. I wish I didn't suck so bad at backgrounds ;3; I've also got tons of sketches of all sorts of stuff but can never bring myself to post them unless it was some sort of meme or something *shrugs*

~~~~~~~~Collabs~~~~~~~~~~
My friend Heather (who should totally get a DA cause she rocks ;3 and I were paint chatting when she sketched something with her OC and my OC XD I liked it so much that I'm going to try and lineart + Color it as a collab of sorts with her. No idea when I'll get to that though. Anyway when it comes to Collabs, if I'm interested I'll agree to do one. However, I'll just take one at a time, cause I honestly never know WHEN I'll be done with something or when I'll even start it. It sucks

~~~~~Coloring my Linearts~~~~
I welcome anyone to do so ! There are many things I've linearted/sketched that I'll probably never get to color cause I suck like that D: Just note me with what you'd like to color and I'll give you the original (transparent if you'd like, just say so) size without the watermarks XD All I ask is that you 1) Give credit to me in your description of it when you upload it and 2) Let me know when you finish it and give me the link so I may go see and fangirl over it XD

~~~Using my art for icons and graphics~~~
I'm very lenient with things. So, most likely, if you ask, I will let you do so. You just have to 1)Ask me and 2) Give credit wherever it is you post/use them please ;3; It's not that hard to do, and I won't bite, I promise. It'll just hurt if I see them being used without given credit and letting me know D:

Doubt I can name ten but I'll try XD I ALSO TAG WHOEVER READS THIS~ Hurhurhur.

10 ART FACTS:

1. I need to be inspired, in a way that it begs me to draw what I'm thinking, otherwise whatever it is I do draw will look like crap. (I'm sure it's the same for everyone though XD)

2. Sometimes I have a good idea, and have the feeling to just, draw, but end up only finishing it half way. After this it depends on when I actually get to finish it XD

3. My love for drawing anime started when I fell in love with Pokemon. I never drew before that, strangely, because I had loved watching Sailor moon before I ever even knew of Pokemon XD (I didn't even know it was anything other than a 'cartoon'. Had no idea what 'Anime' was XP.)

4. No matter how hard I try to match a style, I can't, and end up preferring it that way. My drawings are unique to me in little ways but I can see the overall difference and still like it, I guess. If that makes sense XD;

5. I know some people might think it bad to prefer art with an anime you love in it rather than one you don't, but I think it's fine to do that. You can relate much better with the image they had in mind because you know what those characters went through (Again, I probably make no sense 8D).

6. The majority of the time I draw at night. I just prefer it that way, and well, I'm usually more awake after 10 pm anyway XD There have been times where I've stayed up until 4 am just to finish a sketch.

7. I always draw with music on. A dead silent room does not do anything for me D:

8. My parents used to think of me as the child who would become a writer in the future, definately not an artist. They favored my other sister in that respect, but now I'm going further into the world of art and my sister is going after other things (sewing and who knows what else XD)

9. My mom can draw pretty well, though she doesn't do it often. I bet if she would have she'd be some sort of artsy person now. My dad can draw very well too, I remember he drew a Psyduck cause we asked him to and he drew it perfectly. He also designed the house he built in mexico. I saw the drawing, it was good *__* He could have been a freaking architect if he would have stayed in school XD I swear. So ya, I guess that's where the whole art thing comes from.

10. I love it right after I finish something and I'm proud of it, then I upload it and share it with others who seem to like it as well. It's one of the best things in the world XD I'm sure all artists can agree with this though.


Nothing really surprising up there but I needed to kill some time so ya 8P
