About

I’m 18 years old. I’m a white male. A bit of a gamer, mostly Japanese stuff like Pokemon, Persona, and Blazblue. I’m a Brony. I used to watch anime but now i’m not so much into it, so if you get into a recently made anime I won’t care to watch it. I’m mostly here for the forums but I get on IRC every now and then, usually when I have nothing else to do. I have pretty low self esteem and get too attached to users a lot. I can’t really think of other ways to describe myself so here’s some music.

Even though Animation is a bit hard to get into these days (though not impossible), Art classes Will help you get better.

Oh ya, I just never bothered to change the size. I think it’ll look better but meh.

Shit, sorry that I didn’t answer your question earlier. My bad.

I’ve lived in England for my entire life, so chances are you don’t know me IRL.

No, no, no, no. I uninstalled the program. I didn’t throw away a perfectly good tablet worth around 250 or so dollars. I reinstalled today, but I only draw for fun now and I try to stop worrying about my drawings.

No man, that’s good enough.
I don’t need anymore feels.

I see. It seems she draws everything as if she would use a pen… (aka, miles ahead of me in terms of drawing ability)

I was in a similar situation with my drawing partner, as she was extremely experienced while I knew nearly nothing about drawing when we started (I was still trying to copy stuff freehand at the time), but now I am better than she was when we first met.

Well, I guess practice I guess. Get good at drawing one character and continue up from there.

But then again, I started as a horrible artist when I started the continue the comic, but now I am better than my partner was when we started.

Keep my suggestion in mind, but you can start by doing the following:
1. Attempt to draw other drawings. Freehand. Once you get good enough at that…
2. Try drawing some things in a neutral pose. As you draw more attempt more dynamic poses. (don’t worry about perspective yet)
3. NOW get into a continue the comic with somebody.
4. Keep experimenting and draw as much as you can. Doesn’t mater if it doesn’t look good, just keep drawing.
5. ???
6. Good Art?

Anyways, that character your friend drew looks a lot like my OC. Did you ask him to draw it?

It’s like a continue the story, but in a different format (A person starts a page, hands it off, next person does the same and hands it back). But because of the format change, It becomes a cooperative competition in many ways, as you are constantly trying to do better than your partner(s).

Yeah, everything is going better now.

I usually draw in the Anime style, but I am sorta capable of drawing in the regular style (though it takes me 10x as long to pull something off). Also, I usually commit my references to memory, but if it requires me drawing something not human I usually need a solid copy of the reference (something I can’t get without my phone cable).

Drawing is a practiced sport, I have been at it for 5, maybe 6 years now and I am still nowhere close to somebody like Muumi. If you really want to get better, I suggest you get into a continue the comic with somebody like I did. It keeps stuff competitive.

Wow.. I didn’t code any easter-eggs that far that far… tell you what, I’m going to code an Easter-egg at 9500 saying that someone’s finally beaten your high-score, and another one at 10000 ( No I won’t tell you what it is, you’ll have too see it by yourself).
it might take a while, but I’ll tell you when it’s ready!



As for Blazblue, You are talking bout CS1 right? I subbed Bang back then, he was AWESOME, but they nerfed him to the ground in CS2 (They kinda changed Hazama’s play-style too), as for Tager he was my sub in CT, nothing beats the feeling of 5700 inescapable damage hitting your opponent..So my current roster at Blazblue – Continuum Shift II is: Fave+Main:Hazama, sub:Jin Kisaragi (Don’t judge me!)

Well, I go to college, so I spend most of my time either in class, in transit (useing the transit time to draw), or doing homework… I have been trying to crack down on it this semester, but along with some other events (my GF’s shattered ankle) it has started to take it’s toll on me…

Welcome back, Ashbot. My only regret was that I wasn’t the first to welcome your back, haha.
