Anonymous asked: I made $300 yesterday by Internet marketing and I'm looking at atleast $450 today. So yeah. You need to do this. I found out about it from this news article on CBS. I'm just excited to share this with you because it actually freakin works! Tumblr won't let me post a link but if you want to read up and start making some money then head over to CBSNews9 [d0t] cоm - Spread this to fellow tumblree's and tumblrette's and lets get out of this recession together!

Ok, the first 2 spam asks were kind of new and a little bit funny, but now this shit is just annoying. I will be contacting the proper channels to get this to stop.

I DEMAND INJUNCTIONS.

This is the best batch yet! Thanks so much for the additions, Bee.

Y’all could learn from her.

I’ll update the list with these, and a few more I’m still behind on, once i complete my midterm. uvu

Ummm…

1. I’m watching A Game of Thrones right now. It’s a good episode. I don’t understand why tumblr isn’t spamming me with Kristofer Hivju content. Why, tumblr? Do you not see his glorious Norwegian perfection? I don’t get it.
2. I think I identify as gray-a, but I’m not so sure (see above comment, Kristofer Hivju, 10/10 would bang right the fuck now). Not to say that I don’t experience sexual attraction, or that I never want to have sex, it just doesn’t interest me all that much. 
3. I watch a lot of popular vloggers; I wish I had more time to do it. Vlogbrothers (and most related channels), Ze Frank, Nerimon, Danisnotonfire, and Charlie McDonnell.
4. I’m really super tired because I’ve been doing rigging and stuff for our fencing booth at the upcoming local renaissance faire. My brain is not working at full capacity.
5. I’m really afraid that I’m going to live and die dependent on my parents. I am having such a difficult time finding a job. I lose sleep over this.

syrups asked: Sorry for the delay in this particular answer, we were having dinner. And nah, I don't mind you publishing these. I can't give you too much constructive criticism, so maybe someone else can. And yes, your first paragraph made sense. The only halfway useful advice I can give is something that's helped me and proven to be true in my life many times; Not Trying = Instant Success. It seems to be the exact opposite of what you should do, but it's kind of uncanny. My friend Al is wonderful and ilu <3

I don’t know if I agree with your advice (no offense meant). If I don’t try at all, then I’ll just stay in bed all day. If I want to get better, then I need to focus on improving and actually carve out time in my schedule to make those attempts.

But I realize that hacking at something and just pulling actions to bits will kill any drive I have to keep on drawing, which is nice that it’s just a hobby for me. Trying too hard to fix one problem could lead to a loss of focus on the overall picture. And I don’t mean “picture” like “Al’s 3 AM drawings,” I mean “picture” like “whatever it is you’re trying to do.” Like if I try so hard to capture something I can’t even define, I’ll probably lose sight of basic good drawing foundations, such as scale and light logic.

My friend wrote a really great blog entry about improving in art and I really should reference it more often. She makes several very good points.

No u.

syrups asked: Wasn't the goal to draw Zefrank? And didn't you draw Zefrank? But yeah I get what you mean, LATE NIGHT CLARITY. I'm not an artist but I experience it with other things. "Holy shit you should have done this a different way THEY MEANT THIS WHEN THEY SAID THAT you're a liar"

UGH I DON’T EVEN KNOW. Yes, the goal was to draw Zefrank. But I only ever draw things I love, so I think when I try to “draw” things, I don’t mean just making lines and colors in certain shapes. I try my best to show whatever that is, the subject, and just how much I love it. That means re-creating what I see that is beautiful into a drawing that is also beautiful. But beautiful isn’t something I can always draw. Usually, the best i can hope for is showing that I put a lot of care into the drawing and people kind of catch on like, “Hey, she really paid attention to this.”

I hope that made sense.

The Zefrank drawing, I feel, doesn’t really look like him. Maybe it resembles him, but it doesn’t show what I really love about him. And since it’s just a drawing of his face, it’s kind of hard to see that was my goal, I guess? I don’t think it’s impossible to portray that like/love/obsession with just a portrait; the Madz one is ok and I thought the Munly one came out all right, too. 

But maybe I can’t really pinpoint what I love about Zefrank.

And, you know, I realize that the drawings aren’t original in that I work from reference material, but I’m still really new to doing digital art. These are good for me (like eating my vegetables), so I’ll keep doing them. I want to branch out soon; do some full body illustration, stylistic stuff, I dunno. 

I hope you don’t mind that I publish these. I think the responses might be good for other people to read. And maybe those people will give me some concrit.

Maybe.

I feel like maybe I wandered away from your orignal comment.

TL;DR: Drawing with impaired judgment takes away a lot of the hurt and frustrations I have while drawing without any impairment, but it might yield less than desirable results once I’ve slept properly. My friend Buggers is great and I love her.
