I trained my pool to roll over.

My pool went rabid and ate 3 cats and a mailman's leg. I was forced to put it down.....

Do you know how much it cost to euthanize a pool?! I could have taken it out behind the shed and shot it for 20 cents! Fucking rip off....

I think this is a good idea, it gives the old "start with a picture" rule some actual use while also creating another rule we needed.

I was trying to think of more to add or things to change but this is just about right.

Personally I still think linking to the most used/useful pages would be great. Mainly the lounge and art101

Yes links are needed, also the rules should have flashing lights around it that can only be removed once a user passes a test which evaluates their knowledge of the rules.

lol jk

Happy B-Day Lintire!!! :D

Trololol.
Mine is getting to be very taxing on my income, I might have to starve it. Or pull it behind the shed, since it costs too much to euthanize. Thanks for the tip, Kinsei! :3

I got a lot more love on the internet about my birthday (with well-wishing coming in from everywhere, especially you awesome people here at Newgrounds) then I did IRL. That's not a good sign, is it?

Anyway, exam block is over, so hopefully I can get myself back to the point where I'm drawing.

Quick question, how big of a difference is there to drawing something from reference to drawing what's in your head? When it comes to figuring out a person's level in drawing.

I can replicate an image online no problem. Though when it comes to drawing from the top of my head I'm just in shambles I can't draw anything.

When drawing from a reference the idea and proportions are already down. When you try to put an idea into visual, it's much harder because you have to think each and every part through.

Understood.

any one know anything that can help?

pencil first then go over in pen?

Well, first off, if you are using low-quality ballpoint... don't.
I use eithe A.) Art Pens. They a=come in all thicknesses for any size drawing, ect. .5, .7, 1, 3, 5, and the list goes on.
But, since I usually don't carry them around, I use fine point rolling ball gel pens... they are Pilot Precise V5 or V7 (V5 is smaller and better to get all the details)
When I'm in school and I doodle on index cards, these are the pens that I work with.
Maybe this will help?
If there was a Stickam up we could go more in depth >.>

Dude. Those are the pens I use...
This pen is the shit right here.

lol I use the v5 when I'm on the go and don't have the proper supplies with me. The pen is rather cheap, but very effective. The colors are nice and strong, and the blacks are black

I have found some "Black" pens to actually produce a very very dark blue or purple....

It's kind of cool to see others using the same tool,

So do I. I stopped for a while because they used to smudge but I found some that don't.

Yeah. The pens cost (where I live) $18 for 12 pens. Sometimes they can get bitchy, and I have to wait a couple of hours before I can pick it back up again (this usually happens when I leave it open, and I think the ink on the rolling ball dries and the ball gets stuck, idk). But mostly they are loyal and trustworthy.
I usually use the v7 when I'm doodling on a large piece of paper or filling in sections of black, and I don't want to waste my v5's xD

I hate when that happens. Thats why I can never bring myself to buy the cheap rolling ball ones. The ink comes in a dark grey, but you can tell it isn't near black.
They make alright when you actually want to shade your piece though because the ink will get thinner and lighter as you decrease the pressure.

At 11/25/10 04:13 AM, Zombie-Eskimo wrote: i use sharpie pens...

I have a sharpie pen but I don't recommend it. Like the v7, I use it for shading large areas of black. Unless they have some crazy fine point that I don't know of, the lines will bleed and be tooo think to make anything out when drawing small. :/

On another note, Happy Thanksgiving to alll of you in America ;)
I won't be back till Monday so until then, ciao!

Although I don't recommend Ball points either, I have gotten some good pictures and effects from time to time. But you really have to find a good one. I'm partial to Zebra pens since they work pretty well.

I'M GOBBLING FOOD LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW

I had the worst thanksgiving ever. My daughter caught pink eye from her brother who had it a week ago, my son caught the flu from my daughter who had it a week or so ago, my food was cold because my daughter wouldn't sit down and stop running around the resturaunt my in laws decided to have thanksgiving at, my husband is being a JERK and I'm seriously thinking of leaving him, and everyone was staring at me the entire time(no doubt thinking about how fat I got). I hate the holidays.

I hate it when you plan on going to bed at 1am but then you zone out and when you come to it's nearly 2:30am.

Also, happy birthday Peglay.

Happy b-day peglay!

Happy Birthday Peglay! And happy belated birthday to anyone I missed in the meantime!

Ya, about 18904109,6 per day on average.

A freind of my recently showed me a magazine she is subscribing to and I looked pretty nice. So I checked out their website and they are a lot of interviews with interesting artists so check it out:
Juxtapoz.com

In other news, and I think quite exciting news (for me at least) - this message is beeing written on my own computer, In my own home, and posted with stolen internet from some of the neighbours. A whole freaking year without a computer has finally ended :D

Yeah Juxtapz is pretty spiffy, I haven't read it in awhile but it's nice and oriented toward the contemporary artist. WAY back in 8th grade my art teacher told me about Juxtapoz but the nudity/sexuality of a lot of the work was a bit much for me at the time.

Good news on the stolen wireless, lol.
