Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

What I personally find the hardest to draw is feet and hands. I found that with a lot of practice and a lot of frustrating mistakes my feet and hands actually look at the very least almost the way i want them to be.
Now my favorite Style of drawing is Anime or sometimes semi-realism, and i find that by doing studies of the more traditional style realism actually helps improve my anime pictures greatly. For instance i would practice drawing my hands and feet in different positions holding different things and from different angles. I also find it extremely helpful while i'm drawing and i'm having a particularly hard time drawing a hand or a foot in a certain position i will stop for a

pointless school rambling

by ~fresh4u, Jan 15, 2008, 10:59:22 AM
Journals / Personal

OH MY GOD I forgot how demanding school was after last semester's slackness. I have a big research page paper in every class, ontop of two group projects and a bunch of other stuff that hasn't even been announced. And all the TEXTBOOK READING! In my courts class we're doing TWO CHAPTERS A WEEK ugh. So much reading. I'm going to drown. I don't like spring semester, it's too short for the amount of work every class gives.

In other words, I am SO cramped on time I honestly doubt I'll produce anything more than just the calendars this year, unless opportunities come up. It's sad to think I'll probably draw less than 10 things this entire semester. How did I manage last year? WTF self. Where did all your motivation go. I've been home an hour already and I haven't done anything yet.

Rambling.

Everyone else's school probably started or will be starting within the next week or two, so good luck to all you guys. <3

asdaldshf gawd yes i know! >:< im only having a one week break for easter and summer holi-little-days in august >:<! not the greatest perspective >:<!! but u can do it! just.. hmm.. dunno.. keep a drawing pad by the wc or something...
just ... dont blow your brains out :3!

ps. aaskdjhas its great to know youre not an art major [youre not right? did i get it wrong?] since you're one of my all time fav artist here!

~fresh4u Jan 16, 2008

AHAHa yyeaahh.. i try to draw here and there, but i always feel guilty doing it because I should be DOING SCHOOLWORK OR SOMETHING! AHH!

reply to ps: Aha yes, im not an art major, I'm a criminal justice major. And thank you! <3<3 ;w; im glad you enjoy my work so much (makes me feel its worth doing Ahaha <3 )

~Chopsoy Jan 19, 2008

hahah !! well ... but you GOT to relax sometime! just think of the drawings as a mandatory fan service then! i mean.. i HAVE to do them.. or.. people will start to kill each other..something... SO in order to save a little part of the world you have to draw.. see? this way you cant feel guilty.. haha :3

aaaaaaa criminal justice? woah.. sounds like volumes of thick laws to memorize >:<! good luck with that :3!! oh yes i love youru art.. ive be stalking you ever since i drop of at DA. your work is so free.. it has come and goingly been my wallpapers :3!!

<3<3<3

~licchan Jan 15, 2008

!!!

IT'LL BE OKAY. <3<3<3 Just try not to slack off so much this semester? ;^; THAT GOES FOR ME AS WELL. SO GET GOING ON THAT WORK GOGOGO!
I'LL MAKE YOU FIND TIME TO DRAW STUFF TOO. Just you watch. *A*

~fresh4u Jan 15, 2008

AHA Im going tot ry to not slack off. I think all the papers will force me to work more, actually, because last semester I had.. what, one paper? And I always get my papers done before theyre due anyway. HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR TOO. I'm just worried about the READING materials... i tend to really not want to read textbooks anymore, im so sick of them. And they always cram like a ton of reading into one week or something.

ARUHGHHH I DONT KNOOWW D: YOURE the one who needs to get back into drawing considering its what YOU go to school for AHA I need to worry about getting back into writing papers.

~fresh4u Jan 16, 2008

iii dont feel liiikke iiittttt.

you should let me see all of those tons of graphic designs eyey
because youre really good at it. and i think youd do fine if you went into it ,actually AHA

YOU SHOULD get back into DRAWING since you havent in forever. B| how but I won't do the calendars unless you DRAW TOO.

~licchan Jan 16, 2008

WELL THATS GOOD! GET THEM PAPERS DONE. im gonna be doing like... a ton of graphic design, and i tend to get my work done faster if i can do it on the computer ASHDHA SO MAYBE ILL BE BETTER TOO!?
ahah yeah i dont blame you, they make you read way too much omg 8|

PFFFF I'LL GET BACK INTO IT ONE DAY. you're a good paper writer dont even worry about itt.

~lauren-d Jan 15, 2008

you can do iiiiit as long as there isnt too much of that 'ive been home for hours but i havent done anything!' crap. you always stress out about stuff when you HAVENT EVEN STARTED YET it seemed XD

~fresh4u Jan 15, 2008

AHHA yyeaah. Once I start its alright, because then I just keep going with it (with papers, anyway, because I feel DIRTY when I leave them incomplete or bad!). I think this year will actually be a little better with slacking off, because lastyear I didnt HAVE any papers to force me to work much. This time I have TONS. And to be totally honest, I sometimes embrace the challenge of long papers because I loose myself in doing them, but just... not... when I have so many at once. D8;;;

~lauren-d Jan 15, 2008

yeahh. it is just sooo hard to get started sometimes, I know. -needs to do college application essays- it's gotta suck having to do THAT much though. BUT YES. LOSE YOURSELF IN IT. DOIT. XD ...i'm gonna go do my work so i don't sound like such a hypocrite ahah D:
