    I'm into Manga style, mostly. Although, I'm unable to draw a comic strip... I'm able to draw Anime characters in black and white. Weird I'm into Fantasy art, mostly digital. Think I have yet to learn about paint, properly, and start practicing it. Meanwhile, I'm sticking with black and white drawings. tehe

    Xanty18 is my Deviantart. tehe I've explored the world of coloring through my tablet, to no avail. XD

    There's some good instructions on youtube actually!

    I already have a kinda dark voice originally (most girls do, we just torture ourselves by talking WAY to high!) but a certain exercise really does the trick for me:

    Bing Bong
    Ding Dong
    King Kong

    Sounds silly writing it like that...
    But anyways!
    It's a normal warm up thingy.
    You say the words slowly and prolonged but pronounce the words correctly and repeat while slowly pushing your voice deeper...
    Did that make some sense?

    Anyways! Youtube is the place to find stuff like this!
    I think I might have seen something on WikiHow as well...
    thank you honey pie Arms you're the best.

    No probs, cupcake! (I just needed to continue with the nicknames)
    If you need any more help with finding stuff, I'll do what I can. ^^

    And oh! I've got a new beard-tip from that book I mentioned before. xD
    But I dunno if you want a beard... xD

    And hm... I need to check the good ol' YouTube for voice-training again... xD

    I like art. I do some good stuff, but okay, they are rare. Anyway, I do it for myself :D

    I am now slowly learning how to do realistic portrays, did three so far and all are of Kurt Cobain, not because I'm a fan (which I am), but because I love his face, it's beautiful to draw, especially because of the shadows. On one place his face is dark, so dark you could almost say black, while so near next to it it is almost completely white. i do love that about his face. plus, it's nice to see improvement. I mean, don't want to brag or anything, but my latest picture is so much better than my first one. my next one probably won't be him anymore. I think I'll do Janis Joplin.
    I have one problem with portrays, though. i start out drawing realistically, yes, but when I'm done I start doing weird stuff to the poor drawings. For example, I painted the second Kurt with black indian ink, all around his face, so he looked really tight. I guess I was feeling kinda down.
    And on a pic I did of Stolly from "Up on Cloud Nine" (a book) by Anne Fine i stuck stickers (my, it's a weird thing to write. Almost like chew chewing gum) all around his forehead and I made them represent all the things that were going on in my head.
    I guess the thing I'm trying to say is, that I, in some weird way, start doing MYSELF with every portrait of somebody else I do. I just find some things, we have in common and, voila, you have me under somebody-else mask.

    But under NO CIRCUMSTANCES AT ALL I will ever, I mean ever be able to draw hands. i can only do fists realistically, anything else is just a.. FAIL.

    I sketch landscapes and things in front of me, I prefer to not use color and keep it black and white.

    I've just a moment ago finished a big ass tattoo drawing!

    It's almost a real-life sized back I've drawn and filled with pretty designs in a traditional japanese tattoo way..

    ^^ Sounds amazing. I love tattoo-style art, it's so influential for me.

    I can't breath without art in my life, it's always been in me, like it's part of me. It's all i want to do, but as my parents insist I have to go to uni, I'm applying to art school this year.
    Got turned down by two schools, but I'm taking my portfolio to Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee on Friday...I'm more nervous than you can imagine! It's slim chances but...Anyone else going for DOJ?

    I love mixing media and working onto anything unusual, and Oli Bars are my best friend tbh. One of my tutors in my extra classes said something really cool that I pretty much agree with, "Would you rather create 100 bad images, to get 1 perfect work, or never try at all?" that's what it's all about for me, that and keeping it playful. =]

    i adore art!
    i'm currently in a photography class.
    next year's photography class is only a half year course. i'll cry. D:
    senior year i'm taking textiles and an Independent study in photography.
    i'd do ap art, but i think i lack skill that it requires.
    my school has some pretty gifted artists.

    other than photography, i like sketching, i'm pretty decent at cartoons/comics. i'm pretty decent with sculpture too. painting i'm... not the best, haha. i can't even mix the color purple, and that's my lucky color!

    For my final major project I'm making an instullation to convey my character that I've created, kinda like Robert Therrin's red room.

    I like to draw anime, mostly. I've drawn several Manga's of my own and they're all silly, but at least I know i can draw the same character over and over. Disgust

    I can paint, sculpt and draw. Very Happy

    My favourite thing to sculpt is Dragons. Wink

    I like to paint weird things, like huge body parts, like eyes, lips, nose, hands, or something like that. Dance

    I'm in my 6th year of art, going into my 7th. (6th grade through 11th, Art's an elective and not mandatory where I go, in middle school) Clap
