Gosh, where do I even begin? Let’s just say that I have ALOT of Playstation 3 games that I’ve purchased and never even touched because I’ve been so busy with work (I’m moving in a couple months and I’m building a security net!) What i’ve been doing is purchasing a brand new game every couple of weeks or so and letting my sister play them for me instead.

Katamari Forever and Final Fantasy XIII-2 have been my latest additions to the system, and I haven’t been able to play either yet xD. My friends (other geeks and otakus) think I’m crazy for just buying games and never playing them. I wish they knew that I buy every game with the utter intention of playing them some day :p. Also, I find it amusing having my sister play with games of my choice anyway. She’s good at most of the games I buy and she has a lot of fun guessing what I’ll get next. It’s a win-win situation I guess :3.

On a final note, I wanted to throw in a few sites that I’ve been looking at lately. Other Artists who have intrigued me or made me laugh at some point. Thought i’d spread the love :3!

Today’s drawing is obviously of an ice cream sundae. I’ve already made a similar drawing to this in the past of an

Ice cream is one of those things that I haven’t been able to give up since becoming an adult. Kind of like my love for video games, cartoons, dressing up and stuffed animals. There will always be some child like aspects in my life no matter how old I am.

The main reason why I made another ice cream drawing though is to test my skills some. Since I learned some new layering techniques in Photoshop, my painting style has somewhat improved. I’d like to continue to hone my skills and become as good as some of the other artists out there that I admire so much :3.

Check back tomorrow for some more art! It will be related to desserts again. I like dessert x.x hehe.

The tutorials I made so far have received some emails of positive feedback which makes me very happy. I know not very many people are finding my things for right now, but I’m really happy that I didn’t make them in vain! Well, I’m not sure if it would be in vain if no one ever read them since I enjoyed putting them together. But I would be a bit more reluctant to write them anymore I guess :s. I feel a bit more compelled to compile a HUGE list of random tutorials some day :3.

Also, be sure to check out the Prints that are for sale right now. I will be adding more to the page pretty soon as well.

And on one final note, I just would like to highlight a couple of blogs/web comics  that I felt needed mentioning.

Ali. R. Thome – Really awesome blog that I stumbled on in late January. She is a really talented caricature artist that I really look up to. She’s such a good artist :3!

Anna Bron – She is a multi media artist who creates absolutely beautiful masterpieces on a weekly basis!

Danielle Corsetto – I’m a nerd so I recently found a new comic fix xD. Danielle is the writer and artist of a web comic known as Girls with Slingshots. Interesting blogger with an interesting comic.

Denise Randall – My home girl! I’ve known Denise for a number of years and we met each other in the Drunk Duck community a while back. I have been following her extensive series known as The Only Half Saga since like, forever! Really awesome comic that needs to be looked at right now!

And that’s that. See you guys tomorrow :3!

Elven Princess Draft

As you see, I think from now on, I’m gonna start posting my blog titles differently instead of just giving them labels of a drawing. I’ll start putting the name of the drawing as a caption underneath instead.

Today, I want to talk about a more serious topic. In today’s post, I wanted to bring light to a situation that came to mind recently. To be specific, it’s about criticism. I don’t mean the kind of criticism that you get from some random troller who just wants to bring you down. I’m talking about criticism from other artists. Sure, sometimes advice from another artist is good. It’s good to learn new things. I’m fine with that :D!

While I was growing up, I was always told that every artist was their own biggest critic. As I grew up however, I’ve been learning quickly that this isn’t always the case. You could be completely proud of something that you drew and another artist can come along and find a million faults with in a matter of only a few seconds! Do you think this is really necessary for someone to do?

Now I’m alright with constructive criticism that is directed at how the artist could have done something differently, this is totally fine. What I don’t like is when another artist flat out tells you that you need to change your style completely and to just use a different method of drawing altogether. What gives anyone the right to demand this?

I think that a request like this is totally inappropriate and uncalled for. I believe that everyone’s art style is unique and special in some way, and that no one has the right to demand that someone change their own style to specifically suit their needs. That’s what makes art so great! What kind of a world would we be living in if everyone’s art looked the same?

That’s just my take on the issue. Art is an expression of one’s thoughts and emotions. If you are able to draw something based on thought alone, then that is amazing in and of itself.
