    YES! I have thought of that. I think Edmond has thought of it too, and I think he has a soft spot for Albert because of it (I could be way off). Anyway, Albert seems like one of his closest friends (if he has friends in that regard).

    Yeah, I liked Mercedes a lot. She seemed sweet, and Albert seems really sweet too.

    XD

    Yeas. Sort of my fault, but no really, y’know? XD What? Worse? How is that even possible? XD

    Shshshshsh! XD

    I’m wondering how Les Mis could possibly be better than this, Emma. You said it was, but I’m loving this book so much, I don’t think I could stand it if something was better! XD

    I think it’s my favourite. *grins*

  • Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 2 months ago

    Oh, I’m going to reply to every single aspect – if there’s something to say. XD

    I think Albert represents what Edmond was, before everything went wrong. I loved Edmond in the beginning – possibly more than I love Albert now, though it’s close – and he could very well have been my favourite character (in fact he was for a time) until all this…[Read more]

    Yeah. Another possibility is that your teacher might want to make sure you learn “properly.” With our singing lessons, our teacher is teaching us a lot about technique. Like, my brother and I can sing, but we didn’t sing properly (which is important), and she’s teaching us how – after our first lesson, my throat didn’t feel strained at all,…[Read more]

    • That makes a lot of sense too. I think it less likely that’s the case here, because she actually commended my technique and stuff (which made me rather happy. 😛 ), but I suppose it never hurts to make sure even so. And I have problems with staccato. 😛

    • Yeah. Just ideas, since I have no idea how your technique is. 😉

    • Yup, and I thank you. 😀

    • Are you having weekly lessons, or more or less often?

    • Hopefully twice a month. Every-other-weekly or something along those lines.

    • Nice. I have mine weekly, but we also don’t pay (it could get too much otherwise). My dad mows my teacher’s lawn for my lessons. XD

    • Aah! That’s great! Lucky duck. ;P Yeah, the main reason we’ve never done lessons before is because of the cost. SO expensive, not to mention the cost of driving and stuff. BUT, since these are students teaching us (albeit very advanced ones), and not professional violin teachers, we’ve got it for $10 per lesson/person. So, all together, $40 per…[Read more]

    • $10 a lesson isn’t bad. Usually it would be $30 a lesson if we paid, but Dad does work in kind, so I’m really blessed to be able to have lessons like that. And my teacher’s become a family friend (we have a habit of doing that XD). Sometimes we look after her cats when she goes away. And when my mum was unable to take me to lessons for a time, she…[Read more]

    • But yeah, my teacher is professional, so it would be more expensive. 😛

    • I keep being pleasantly surprised to see you’ve replied again, because I keep thinking it must be almost night by now in Australia. 😛 It’s mid-morning over here.

      Aw, that’s great. 😀 I love it when your associates become good friends as well.

    • Let’s see, it’s almost 10 past 8 in the morning now. That post was about 9 hours ago according to KP, so I posted that around 11 last night. Sounds about right. 😛 I usually try and be in bed by then, but sometimes it doesn’t work. XD

      Yeah. 😀

    • XD

  • @dekreel Ahhh! The struggles! They’re real! XD

  • Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 2 months ago

    Haha, I was just re-reading some of our conversation about this, and you were asking me if I knew who Albert’s father is yet. And now I do – Fernand! XD It kind of annoys me that Mercedes went to be with him after all, especially since she said she considered him a brother more than anything, but with her lover supposedly dead, and probably no one…[Read more]

  • Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 2 months ago

    AHHH!!! Now you just made me more excited!!! *big cheesy grin* I kind of hope they duel with swords, but from what Beauchamp said, they’ll probably be using pistols (not as fun, in my opinion 😛 ).

    Well hurry up and sleep so you can fangirl with me! XD

    I only said sorry as a courtesy, I didn’t really mean it. XD XD

    Well, we’ll have to start a…[Read more]

  • @dekreel Yass! I try to keep the head the same size that I started with (and if I did that and made the body in proportion, they wouldn’t be so small!!!), but sometimes it’s just going to be too big, and I don’t want to do it chibi. 😛

  • @dekreel No, I mean if I have to re-draw the head (because the neck is “attached” to the body), sometimes I don’t draw it on in the right place and it’s not centred or something.

    Oh, that’s some really good advice. 😀 I should do more eye practise. My other problem is I make my drawings so small, it’s often hard to do details like that.

  • Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 2 months ago

    Hey, sorry to spam. XD But I’m just really excited about this book. 😀 I just learned that M. le Comte de Morcerf is Fernand (except I knew that already, accidentally finding that out in my research to make my character list – I just didn’t acknowledge it until I found out in the book 😉 ).

    Albert wants to duel with Beauchamp because of his…[Read more]

  • @dekreel Probably. I’d just move the face though, if everything else about the head is all right. Oftentimes the neck doesn’t like up right on the head. XD I’m also not very good at profiles, though I’m working on that, and I don’t think my characters are as expressive as they could be. 😛

  • @dekreel Oh yeah, I usually do the head first too, to get a general idea of the size, but because my proportions are usually off, the head size usually ends up changing.

    @sarah-anson That is how I’d like to draw my manga. How do you do that?? 😀

  • @aviantrail Hm… Ick… Maybe porridge…

  • Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 2 months ago

    Nice!! Maybe your teacher is starting easy to see where you’re at. I found it can get harder pretty quickly (especially if you’re an older student starting with the basics – you don’t stay at the basics for very long). I’ve been on the Grade 3 book for most of the year last year. Yay for consistency! Doesn’t it feel great? 😀 (I haven’t been very…[Read more]

    • That makes sense. It’s an encouraging thought. 😀 And yes it feels great! I just hope I can consistently be consistent. ;P

      • Yeah. Another possibility is that your teacher might want to make sure you learn “properly.” With our singing lessons, our teacher is teaching us a lot about technique.

  • Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 2 months ago

    Haha, I guess not. 😛

    Yes, poor everyone. I feel especially bad for Albert for some reason, because M. le Comte didn’t allow Haydee to say she remembered the name of Albert’s father in her backstory.

    Well, when I learn it, I’ll let you know.

  • These are all really great, guys!

    I have a question for everyone in general. When you draw your manga characters, what is your process?

    I typically draw a “dummy,” basically a form that looks like a naked mannequin (with no detail, just the body shape) in the pose I want, then I add the clothes over that, which I find helps let the “fabric” fall…[Read more]

  • @dekreel Probably a small crime.

  • @dekreel *grins widely* Thanks. Which is your favourite? 😀
