So I'm thinking of...

Possibly opening an avi art shop on here too.
Would anyone be interested?

Hmm I'd be interested! Perhaps show some examples?

Suuuureee~!
Maybe we could do an art trade or something?




My DA has some art on it but I never update. : o

HouseofCatz's deviantART Gallery

Ohmigod. Are you still on Gaia cloey? You're the only person on my friends list C:

Yea I'm on gaia but on a new account.

Drawing from real people mostly. I really do suggest being a creeper and drawing people around you when you're bored.
Normally make a crazy fast sketch before drawing out something.
I also suggest do gesture drawings. They help train you to draw faster and get use to different poses.
Figure & Gesture Drawing Tool
As use reference images of real people when you need to. Studying nude models a good way to understand where things go. I just sometimes look up artistic nudes on DA or where ever. Since I don't really know anyone who'd model naked for me. Lol
Keeping keytips in mind such as:
The corner of your lips line up with the pupil of your eye.
Ears start at the top of the brow and end somewhere around the bottom of the nose.
The length from head to waist then waist to knees should be about equal.
Elbows start from around the end of your rib cage / very start of your middle.
You tear ducts line up with the inner corner of your nose.
Those are the ones I remember atm.

I also suggest reading Andrew Loomis' books starting with "Figure drawing for all it's worth":
Save Loomis!

I hope this helped a little. OTL

@Eli: Labtech was banned for some crazy drama with a mod.

Thank you so much! I never really had the time to study figure drawing. In my college course there was life drawing classes, but there wasn't enough of it so yeah.

I've bookmarked the page

I ought to practice more when it comes to fullbody drawing

You're quite welcome! I've never gotten a chance to take a class.
I really want to! C:

I've been really slacking on practicing too. I need draw full bodies more often.
I think just the idea of coloring a full body scares me since it takes so darn long. D:

That's exactly how I feel. And the proportions XD

i wanna add you on gaia clover

Girls and their drawing ITT. <3 (:

I am jealous.

Oh gosh even I have trouble with proportions. Art takes so much work.

@Chaos: Suure send me a pm with your user name.

@Ethan: Art is coooooool
Don't be jealous! <3 C:

I know art is very awesome! I wish I had artistic talent. XD
