Description
Ok, so it took half an our to sketch, 2 hours to make the line art, and the one hour for coloring was rushed, so it was a total of...3.5 hours learning GIMP!!!
And I used some custom brushes I downloaded from DA.
Elegant floral swirls, snowflake, and sparkles. Thank you!
And for the feedback club:

Yeah, really! There's this one style I REALLY like, though. Have you ever played the series Luminous Arc? Oh, I looooove the eye style!!! I like the hair, too, but I personally really like 's hair and 's hair.

This looks rly good~ ~ This is so good knowing ur testing a new software! great job on the lineart by the way! and the design on this shirt is osm ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was just a custom brush, I cheated on the shirt. XP
And I know the software, kinda. I took a class on it...kinda...ok, so I know how to select things, use the gradients, burn, blur, the basic stuff...but I'm still uber learning.
So it's not that impressive. XDXDXDXDXD
But thank you sooooooooooooo much!!!

You're doing a nice job, just learning Gimp. The first time I attempted a digital piece it took me about 10 hours. xD
One thing I learned, if you use the paint bucket to fill, it helps if you expand the selection by a pixel or two. Then it will leave less white space between the colors and lines.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I actually don't like using bucket fill at all, I was just super rushed and going click click click!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XP
I hate white space. Looks horrible, doesn't it?! XP
But yes, thank you so much for the compliment and advice!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I can tell it was a tad rushed. "Experienced" digital artists can pick out a brush from the program but most custom ones are fun. I was about to say, with the paint bucket, you're not going to get everything. You need to put it on a separate layer and have the color bleed under the lines so everything's covered. You have a little white showing. Otherwise really good!

Yeah, I just had to click click click click run run run run!!!!
Totally almost late for work. XP
And they were on seperate layes, that's how bad it was! XDXDXDXD
But I like it. I could totally fix it, but I need to move on to other projects.
Thank you, though.

You could always have saved and gotten back to it later, but then work feels like forever because you want to go have fun.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, see? that's exactly it. plus i just wanted to get it up. it's not a major piece of art, just me fooling around anyways, so...XP

True. Practice never hurt anyone, except Jon.

Middle school football. What's his face, the one gym teacher that got fired, pushed him during an exercise. Jon fell on and broke his left wrist or something.

He was in a cast for a few weeks.
Anyway, today we worked with sumi ink in Life Drawing (I'll eventually put my personal selections up but they're nude). My fingers and nails are black all over but it makes me want to make more like drawings.

Oh, calligraphy ink. The stuff used with bamboo brushes for Chinese painting and traditional calligraphy. It's fun but messy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XDXDXDXDXD
Everything that's messy is fun, but not everything that is fun is messy!

True dat. I made a button with my etsy shop address on it. Maybe I can attract some customers... I also need to get more stuff up but the end of the quarter is kickin' my sorry behind. I feel proud that except for (significantly less) pop and a few cookies here and there I haven't eaten anything too bad for me.

That's really cool. Have you done any commissions yet? Once I
1. Get a tablet
2. Get Photoshop
3. Get used to them
4. Learn anatomy, shading, colors, and clothing better
5. Learn how to make better backgrounds
I think I'll try getting some commisions. I'm totally not ready yet, though. A lot of people like my style, though, and say it's really starting to show through. I just need to get some more things down.

I'll send you an e-mail with stuff to help you out.

It's that one yahoo one still, right? The one you had since high school? I'm doing research and stuff to get you set up. Pulling up things that worked for me.

Awesome. I was thinking of donating plasma for extra money, but the more I think about it I'm thinking not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Needles *shiver*. You only get about $20-30 for it, too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
mur. umm....yeah, it might be worth it, but it might not. like i said, i hear donating plasma's a bitch.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It takes an odd number of hours, and you only get $20. I don't think it's worth it unless you're really desperate.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah...yuck. I don't wanna do it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not gonna. Anyway, Christmas list... I have an Amazon wish list or I could pick the things I want the most. You're not limited to what's here. Let me know what you want.

That tutorial is deep! I'll have to bookmark it. I made a note of your manga list.
I wonder what stupidity my mom's getting me this year...?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I told you! It's like, whoa...
And thank you!
She'll probably get you diet pills, beauty cream, and a *ahem* d***o, and say, "This is going to be your only friend if you don't lose weight and become pretty. Without a rich man, i.e. the husband you should be working on getting, to pay for all of my bills, you will mean nothing to me, because you are a waste of space."
I hate how she acts. She acts like everyone is beneath her. And she's all money money it seems. At least, those are the vibes I've always gotten from her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's okay, I got those vibes from her when she tried making me go in to computer science and French instead of art and Japanese. She never had much and I think she's kinda traumatized by it. She is a little prejudice and gave Chris Wunderle, if you remember him, the death glare for no reason. I don't mind my mom cuz she's my mom but she's a little off at times. I'm trying to describe b&w photo to color and repair services for money to her and she doesn't get it...
What's d***o?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a something you would get at an adult mart? Add an "l" in the middle, and an "i" and a "d" in there.
And that's rediculous. The death glare? Mur. I'da slapped a hoe. lol.
