The fledgling Artist

@notawriter  I still got a notification when you tagged me.  It just didn’t go green for some reason.  🙂

@notawriter *squeals* it looks so good! I like how you did the hair too, it’s flowy and soft looking. I think the expression suits her. It’s not a full out smile, which she doesn’t do often. Thank youuuuu! ❤

ooh, cat! He/she is sooo cute!!!

@dekreel @notawriter Cool! thanks!

@princessfoo Thanks so much for your input! No, Rin doesn’t fall in love with the soldier guy (his name is Jax). I’d rather not include romance in my novels. They become friends though. Just friends 😊

@notawriter  I totally feel you on drawing the mouth ten times…except it’s usually noses with me.  🙂

Awww you’re so sweet!  But you are too modest.  You’re drawing is brilliant!  I love the sprigs of greenery.  🙂 🙂 🙂

@dekreel oh my goodness! 🤣

@notawriter lol, for sure

@seekjustice I never saw a sparkly bear; I never hope to see one; but anyhow or anywhere; I’d rather see than be one! 😀

@notawriter It wasn’t very hard to find an illustrator.  I created a topic on the KP forum titled “Looking for an Illustrator” and got a few answers.  I think it took a couple weeks before I got a definite agreement from s…[Read more]

You know you’re a kapeefer when you spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to think of a kapeefery thing that you do (That hasn’t already been said!) and then feel bad because you couldn’t

Well, you invented the word “Kapeefery!” That’s something XD

You know you’re a Kapeefer when all of a sudden you start loving the name Josiah…[Read more]

@daeus  I know — It’s creepy  *rubs head* X)

@notawriter  I did actually consider that! I’ll leave it to someone else to add the raspberries

@perfectfifths  Oh, my indeed 83

@notawriter

Cool! The character’s name is Rin. She’s kind of an independent and serious person.  Here’s a picture so you can kinda see what her hair looks like.

Her hair was one reason I had trouble drawing her, ’cause of the light color and dark roots. Sorry those weird sunglasses are covering her eyes, but my character has brown…[Read more]

@notawriter that is so good!

if you’re interested I was gonna ask someone to draw one of my characters for me. would you want to?

@notawriter Yes, I’m self-publishing.  I’ve already self-published several books, but never a picture book, so it will be a new experience trying to figure out the format. 🙂

I’m glad you liked it!  Wow, Oliver seems to be the favorite around here.  I wonder why?  And you’re not too late, because I haven’t decided yet. 😀

I have a character! Her name is Jenna. She has slightly wavy, chin-length, thick brown hair with red highlights, gray eyes, some acne, and maybe a sprinkle of freckles. If you want to do a full-body…[Read more]

Hi everyone!  I have a children’s picture book I’m planning to publish around the end of this month or the beginning of next month. (I am currently working with an illustrator.)  But though the story is complete, I didn’t pick a name for the protagonist, and I think it would be a smoother read if he had a name.

So here is a document with the s…[Read more]

@rochellaine Great topic idea!

Oh! *faints* that quote makes so. much. sense. it’s beautiful 😊

Here’s a quote I found.

I don’t know who Charles de Lint is, but I really like this quote. We each have a unique voice and style, we just have to embrace it.

I’m gonna tag more people: @jane-maree @mariposa @dekreel @daeus @aratrea @radically-surren…[Read more]

@daeus The survey was fun actually! I’m gonna tag some more people just in case they don’t know about this.

@notawriter I just had a great thought.  I used to read a lot of old westerns, (Zane Grey, William MacLeod Raine, B. M. Bower,) and am trying to write this with the same type of storyline, but modernized.  But when I read those books, I was looking for entertainment, and not for themes and character arcs.  I mean, I noticed those things in the ba…[Read more]

@notawriter Thank you so much for your feedback!  In response:

Goals and Motivations/Conflict I am actually having a little trouble with this one.  My idea of her is that she is not confident – loses her sense of direction very easily, and so is very afraid of having to take care of herself – and that she has a hard time with her self-image be…[Read more]

@kaya-young Nysa is a beautiful name! I may just have to add that to the list. Thanks! 😀
@notawriter *hands you cough syrup* feeling a little under the weather there, sis?

@jenwriter17, @dekreel, @notawriter, thanks so much, guys! I actually love drawing the eyes more than anything else manga….they show so much expression!

Haha, @jenwriter17, for some reason I find boys easier to draw than girls…I think it’s because I find girl’s eyes harder to draw. They’re so big, and there’s so many highlights…girl’s eyes…[Read more]
