Yay, we’re back!

@rae

I literally just created a whole new family of characters lol. I might end up turning it into an actual story if I feel like it.

@rae

Yay! That looks great! Especially the mouth and the nose. And the clothes. It looks really good!

Ok, here’s some tips. Remember that they’re based off of my own art style and personality, so they might not be as helpful to you as they are to me.

First off, it’s helpful to have a sketchbook that you don’t care about ruining. Don’t waste you…[Read more]

@rae

There you go!! It’s pretty satisfying once the inspiration strikes you, isn’t it?

… I’m working on a sketch of Marc rn, I’ll share when I finish

@rae

My style is somewhere stuck between realistic and cartoony. I learned to draw from realistic-based books, but the vast majority of my early references are animated TV shows…..

I’ve learned to draw faces as a circle with a jawline connected to that, if that helps.

Callista

“I have a headache…math i-is a l-little i-impossible right now,” Chase replied, his attention still fixed upon the floor.

Callie tilted her head to the side. “Oh, ok.” She felt that there was something deeper than the surface that was bothering Chase, but she wasn’t quite sure what. “Are you sure that’s just it?” Her voice was sof…[Read more]

@rae that’s too funny

@rae

I totally get being a perfectionist with art and I have some tips for getting over that too if you want. I think for drawing cartoons, the best way to learn is to figure out how to break things up into their basic shapes and be able to mimic those shapes and their placement on your page. Once you can do that, you can learn to exaggerate the…[Read more]

Ev

“There’s fish around here?” Tech asked. “I can smell it. I’ll have some of that if you don’t mind.”

“Cool. I’m good with that.” They got in line at the right restaurant and waited for a few minutes. Once they bought their food and found a place to sit, Ev asked, “So I’m assuming you’re not from around here, are you? Not that a…[Read more]

@rae

Ahhhh!  They’re soooo CUTE! Bunnies are the best! 😍💖

@Rae

Cool! I’ll definitely wanna give you my thoughts! But I do have some other things to do today, so I’ll see when I can get started on my notes😁. Thanks for sharing!

@rae cute!

oh and what’d with the warning about swiss cheese?

@rae

Explain yourself! I haven’t met anymore RAE’s!

Hehe I think Caly might have been tagging you when he meant to tag me

@rae

Yaaay! I’m so glad your trying cartoons because they’re my favorite!

I think the biggest element of a cartoon is exaggeration. So if the character is doing something or displaying an emotion, make it ten times bigger than it would be on a normal person – or just simplify it so it’s obvious. So if a character is disgusted, stretch their…[Read more]

@rae

I actually have the exact same problem that you just described. I can relate to that a lot.

I do not actually find cartoons easier. I much prefer cartoony styles, but I have a much easier time drawing realistically (except the hair. *shivers*).

I am by no means as skilled as some of the artists on here, but I would recommend finding…[Read more]

@rae

Poor Nahim 😭

@rae

Oh, now I feel bad now, yet relieved. I honestly was afraid you thought it was spanning too long.

Yeah no, you’re good 🙂

I’ll keep it from Marcel that his frustration hurt Chase…actually, it probably was good for Chase, since he’s thinking over what Marcel said more than if Marcel and he had parted quietly. Actually, it was probably best ho…

@savanna_grace2009 That’s just the worst. Who cares about sports? You go to school to READ BOOKS. And maybe listen to a teacher droning (jk, some teachers are really cool)

I’ll be praying for you.

@rae You too. Loneliness is something I can’t say I’ve ever truly experienced, but the very concept is horrible.

@Rae

also, unless you have a problem with sharing what later happens in your story, I don’t mind hearing spoilers to understand the grander scope of your story if you need help with it. 🙂

@Rae

Also, keep in mind that Forgiveness is letting go of the right to avenge, Reconciliation is repairing the relationship.

I don’t know if you’ve watched/seen Avatar the Last Airbender, but if you have, there’s a great example in that show if you have.

@rae

I could probably have done better at explaining 😅

Since before you joined this roleplay, Marcel has had a habit of trying to help people, and then feeling extremely frustrated or worthless when he can’t do anything. There were lots of fights, and especially this big fight over a kid, and Marc got into someone else’s business and ended up…[Read more]
