Do y’all mind if I join? I just ran across this and…um…it looks amazingly awesome! I may not be able to be very active, but I can at least reply biweekly.

I have two characters I’d like to add, if I can. As side characters from Hearts of Gold, they’re wolves originally I’d have to make human. They were o…[Read more]

I haven’t read the Story Embers books, but I’ve always loved the movie. Like you mentioned, it always had this mystery and “awe” feeling surrounding the whole world and story.

It’s interesting how you bring up the sequels being a let down, as I think creativity plays a part in why so many sequels fail to hold candle to the…[Read more]

@esther-c

Totally! Look forward to reading your thoughts.

“Not that a story about a space rabbit that can make trombone noises can’t be interesting if written well, but simply that you’ll often find at this point that everything else has been sacrificed to make the story unique. This isn’t creativity at all, but the oppos…

Thank you for your response!

I must admit that I have limited knowledge about Mormonism and its principles and history, so I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and perspective on the subject.

I guess the whole concept of Mormonism is hard for me to grasp because it just doesn’t make sense to me on a fundamental level. God…[Read more]

I’ll be praying! 💜

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

idk man, just by characters alone I feel like this is going to be the novel of the year.

Also, I hope nothing bad happens to Harold. He seems like a cool guy.

@thearcaneaxiom

Hey, so I know I’m interjecting a bit into this conversation, but since I saw you talking about The Church of Latter Day Saints (or Mormonism) I was wondering if I could ask a few nagging questions I have about it.

Mainly about this Joseph Smith guy, and more specifically his legitimacy. Since the whole Church of Latter Day…[Read more]

Here are some quite accurate depictions of the characters from my current WIP.

@euodia-vision

Ah!! Your stuff is beautiful! The ink drawing has a lot of character. I like them all. (Highland cows are adorable.)

I also want to get into ink drawing/painting and pen/line drawing, but… We’ll see. XD Maybe some day…

My favorite thing or way to draw/paint?

I’m taking this to mean style, so I would say my favorite style to draw (currently) is this sort of imitation pen thing. (For example, that drawing of Vitya & Alya) I only have graphite to work with, but it’s been fun to imitate styles of artists who use ink.

In fact, I think it’s come to help me shape a…[Read more]

And here’s the latest thing I’ve drawn: a design sketch for the costume I’m making for a kid’s camp next week.

Plus an example of my scribbled writing which I couldn’t crop out. Nice.

@koshka

I have a LOT of work to do this week between sewing and Bible Quiz ING, soI might not be able to do this challenge… I may just have to try my hand at shadows later though….

As for the prompt, the last thing I drew was a pattern for a kirtle. XD But as for actual drawing/art, I think this portrait of Alyona and Viktor might be it. (At…[Read more]

@euodia-vision

Those look amazing! What type of pen do you use? I’m hoping to try out dip pens soon, but we shall see…

@mineralizedwritings

I understand. =) God bless with your studies!

Tuberculosis?!

How soon is he going to be liberated after this, cause your poor charies are being tortured and I don’t like that too much. *Folds arms*

Technique Exercise Challenge

Draw something completely by shadows. It does not matter what the thing is; it could be a person, a hand, an apple, ect.

You can start with an outline of the object, it just needs to not be visible by the end. Every detail has to be shown by shadows or shading.

Any media can be used, wether graphite, acrylic, ink,…[Read more]
