Don’t quit! Just ask for some help and we can try to get things moving along. But if you really want to quit, I can’t stop you.

@rae

Aw, how come?

@rae ? I was not expecting that. Why?

@rae Why? :⁠’⁠(

Flare and Ben Gunn – Elderstrand (w/ Baron, Jenna, and Ellis trying to head to the river)

With all the confusion, Ben and Flare had a hard time moving through the rushing crowd. Flare looked at Ben, then up to rooftops. “Up?”

Ben shrugged, “For the third time today, why not?” He was more sarcastic when he said thi…[Read more]

Interesting! That’s cool. I’m also part German, up to like 50%. (Could possibly be Dutch instead, it’s hard for ancestry websites to tell.) I think my last name means “Manly”… lol. Sounds like a sweet memory!

@stephie

I remember writing a short story about a guy who was the president or something and thought that the sun had fallen out of the sky and went crazy and told the press about it

That sounds hilarious!

@rae

STOP!!!!!!! Have you eaten Breakfast???

Yes, and also lunch. XD

@rae

Kay! I will try to remember to read these after finishing the weekly work.

Nice Cat eye. I don’t know why, but I find drawing animal eyes very satisfying. Somehow it is easier to focus on the shading and the result often ends up being very realistic. Good job with the fur around it as well. I like your rose as well. The cross-hatching is an interesting style. Thank you for sharing!

@rae

I would not be able to draw anything like that if my life depended on it. Don’t you DARE say you’re bad at art XD

@rae

Eeeeyyyyyy cool art!!

Cross hatching and stippling look good, but they take sooo long… And if you get impatient, it looks messy.

@rae

Wow! Yeah, I wouldn’t have guessed that! What is the origin of your last name?

Funny story… my grandma’s maiden name was probably originally said one way, since it’s not pronounced how it looks, but when her mom (or grandma? I can’t remember which) married into the family, she started pronouncing it a different way since she had a lisp. And…[Read more]

@rae

Okay! Neat!

@rae

I would say it, Eye-suhl, like the Eiffel Tower but with an S instead.

@rae

Hmm, like Liesl, but without the “L”

@rae

Oh okay, that makes sense. I like that look a lot. I think I have a few books where the artist does cross hatch with a pen and then fills in with watercolor.

Okay, well, I love your realistic type style, if you’re willing to do that. Would you be willing to draw Werner? He’s a young German doctor, dark hair, dark eyes, tall and slender.…[Read more]

@rae

Those are great! And the one of the little kid is incredible. Great job with all of them.

@rae

wow! That’s so cool! Is it lines, Xs dots? Like what makes cross hatch “cross hatch” If that makes sense?

YAY!!!!!!!
Ummm…… do you like little kids or grownups best?

@rae

OH MY WORD!!!!

RAE!!!!!!

The cross hatch ones!!! AHHH!!!! How do you even do that!? I’ve never heard of that style!!!

And the cartoon!!!! And DANTE!!! OH MY WORD!

WOW!!!! Soooo…. would you draw one of my characters?!?! Pretty please!!!!
