@perfectfifths  Right! I try to keep it the same size, too. But then apparently I make the body too small. *sighhhhh*

@skredder  Awesome! Thanks   *files*

@perfectfifths  Ohhhh, I hate that!

Sometimes, for me, I finish drawing the body, but the head is too big, so I make it smaller. But that means I have to make the neck longer, and it ends up being like a giraffe! ARGH!

I think that happened when I was drawing my current profile picture, actually XD

Thanks! Yes, mine often end up small, too.…[Read more]

I’m making notes for characters in the KPA and I have some specific questions. If you don’t want to be in the KPA, you don’t have to answer these questions

For those of you who are new, I’m writing a story about us crazy people/creatures/aliens. It’s code named “KeePer Adventure,” or KPA

@waterlily  Do you want to be a mermaid?

@skredder  Do y…[Read more]

@skredder  Yeah? Well I have written NOTHING so far! XD

Then again it hasn’t been an hour XD

@perfectfifths  You mean the neck is always bent…?

I discovered that if you want to make your characters more expressive, focus on the eyes. The eyelids, the shape, the pupils, the eyebrows, everything. For example, I discovered that if you want your character to look excited, happy, or even scared, the pupils need to be fairly small, and they…[Read more]

@skredder  @aislinn-mollisong  @dragon-snapper  @winter-rose  @jane-maree  @seekjustice  @anyone

I’m writing. Hopefully. I might get distracted. Again… X)

Congrats, Aislinn! Hooray for inspiration! *high five*

@perfectfifths  That happens with me, too. Do you ever have to adjust the chin or jaw because it doesn’t line up with the nose or mouth? I have to do that all the time!

Hey @naomijackson,

I’m not really sure what you’re asking here, but I’ll answer two things-

One: I try to give each of my chapters a word count consistent with that of my other chapters, but if a chapter is a few hundred words shorter than the others, I don’t sweat it. Any amount of changes can happen based on how I feel about the chapter by the…[Read more]

@mariposa Oohhh… I wish to read this novel.

Here’s one I just made for a character in the third book of my trilogy. He’s eight.

@GracieGirl Coolness.

YES I love Mere Christianity. *flails* I’m glad you’re reading it. Have you read The Screwtape Letters too?
I’m reading a true WWII rescue account called The Forgotten 500 right now. It’s pretty cool. In the fiction realm, one of the things I’ve read recently which I liked quite a bit was the Mysterious Benedict Society…[Read more]

@aviantrail  Oh, and here you can find a chart of the Doctor Who seasons overall. It’s under “Series overview”

And here is a list of the names of all the Doctors since the chart only gives you their ordinal number:

• First Doctor — William Hartnell
• Second Doctor — Patrick Troughton
• Third Doctor — Jon Pertwee   (recommended for c…

@aviantrail  Ohh… So Doctor Who has been going on for 50+ years, with a break in between. There is the “classic era” (1963-1989) and the “revived era” (2005-present).

I would highly recommend the classic era because it’s generally easier to follow and understand than the revived era. I think in terms of actors who have played the Doctor more…[Read more]

@Aviantrail Welcome to KP! That’s cool you’re Captain America. He’s an ISFJ too. 😉 And also, *whispers* you definitely should read more of the Scarlet Pimpernel books.

@Kaya-Young Welcome to KP, and I adore your signature. ‘I adore spontaneity, providing it is carefully planned.’  Perfect.

@sarah-anson  I know the difference between manga and anime

But seriously, you should animate your drawings, and make an anime show!!

@perfectfifths  I draw the head first, then I do a “nude sketch” of the body and posture (obviously undetailed), and then do the clothing form there.

@rochellaine I also like Devan a lot.  Thanks for the input.  (Oh, and Larik is a great name, by the way, @daughteroftheking, but I don’t feel like it suits my character. 😉 )

I didn’t start out using chapter breaks, but as I started working on more complicated plots, using chapter breaks became necessary. When you get into writing, there’s a kind of flow to it, and you get a feel for where to end. Even if you don’t hit a consistent word count, it’s only the first draft, so don’t worry.

I say go for it.

Oh, and…[Read more]

*stalks this topic*

@rochellaine  That’s a very good point.  *smacks face*

He is fifteen years old.  He is mischievous, bold, and reckless, often does things without thinking.  He can fight his own battles, but tries to do too much on his own (he’s slightly arrogant).

Appearance: windswept brown hair, dull green eyes, average height.
