Nerd Power!

[humphrey]

I do commissions for a very very reasonable price. But I'm not super amazing or anything of the sort.

Here's a couple of my pieces.. *turns red* I'm really shy when I show off my stuff. It's nothing professional or anything like that.

I just like to draw. But if it's a character from an anime and someone wants an exact carbon-copy of that character, I can do it. I just prefer drawing in my own medium- harsh lines and boldness all the way

If CT wants, he can post the pictures I have drawn for him. But you gotta ask him.

Don't be shy....

I like them...The first one defintely has bold outlines...maybe you're a bold girl with bold outlines, ok i'm stopping now!
Where did you learn to draw and when? If there are any websites that helped you out drawing anime that would be a good start for me....To draw something close to what's been posted on here would be great, someday!

Oi CT!!

I don't usually like to leave physical evidence in my passing, but I live in Pittsburgh. Today was 10/26/8, and the second annual Zombie March/Walk/Fest in Monroeville mall!

Cleric- you're cute!!

Humphrey: I have never taken an art class outside of highschool (it was required- didn't teach me much). I just draw. Been drawing since I was about 2 exclusively, so I guess I was born artistically?

Anyway, Deviant Art is usually a good place to look for free tutorials on how to draw. Depends on your medium. I like to start drawing with Mechanical Pencil's and usually, a light-blue pencil crayon for colour/shading notes, followed by using Pigma Micron Inking Pens by Sakura in numbers 005, 01 and 03 ( 005 being the smallest, with a 0.20 line width- I use that mostly for eyes and hair- dainty features) I use those for general inking and sketch shadings.

Because I like doing my drawings in the traditional sense, I use a Korean brand of markers called Touch (I'm poor so I can't have the luxury of owning Tria, Copic or Prisma Colours, **My favorite being the Tria**). They are great for mixing/shading and general full-body colour.:

Tria, Touch and Copic Markers:
(Touch are cheapest and are around 3$ Can, Tria are usually around 5$ Can, and Copic at 7$ Can per marker. Basic Colour or Shading sets fun from $30.00- $200.00 On sale).

If you're looking to get into colouring using a computer generated colouring/ alternations program Then I suggest getting a Writing Tablet ( I currently own the Bamboo Tablet- haven't used it yet!!!!) and getting Photoshop, Maya or Paintshop Pro. Deviant Art has excellent links to help you use these to your potential.

I suggest going the "trial" routes for these- give them a test drive!

Like I said, look around the web for free tutorials on things. Youtube is another way to get a more "in depth" look on how to draw professionally.

Also, a few things to pick up too:

- A Sketchbook/Pad with thick paper (always to make sure to put a page underneath the paper you are drawing on to not let any ink soak through!

- A kneadable eraser. The art store, grey sticky kinds are fantastic!

- A Ruler

- Pencil Crayons

- A art pencil set ( they come in different shades- they are handy as hell when you need to do half-assed shading!!)


But yeah, that's pretty much all I can give you. Don't even bother picking up art books or anything- you're wasting money that way. Oh yeah. And practice!!! That's the only way I got to get how I draw today (and I'm still not happy with my work, there's always some way to improve- and thankfully, In a creative way!!!)


Good Luck : )

And yes, I am known to be very bold at times. Guess that's the newfie and Korean part of me!
The Icelandic and Jamaican calm me down a little.

Add them to the mix and you get a one-of-a-kind Lady Reiha.

Hmm, you're not going to eat my brains are you? From time to time, I need them. I suppose I could share if I have to, but trepanning is a pain.

I don't eat brains.

Ask Cleric.

Nah, I'll take your word on it. I must warn you though, I don't terrorize easily.

Just don't feed the Ego and you'll be fine (as will your brains)
