Hey everyone! It has been a very long time since I've been able to post anything on here or even visit. I apologize to all those I couldn't answer but I hope I wasn't too late.
Well just a little recap and I'll tell you about the title of this journal.

I have finally been able to work towards my degree in teaching. I want to bring something new to my town and teach digital arts which is very rarely talked about. It would focus on the contemporary spectrum of art as oppose to the more "traditional" or "spiritual" form that my town is more accustomed to. ^_^
I have also been helping my mom pay for bills with the money I receive for lessons in drawing (however minimal it may be). But now I have hit a dilemma, I want to apply for more classes but can't really get money nor do I qualify for most scholarships, so thus this is where the title would be explained.

I am working on a new pottery piece and am looking forward to selling it. I will show progress shots or how it is coming along. It is a new project that I am working on and am looking forward to completing. ^_^ The money I receive from it will be 100% used for my tuition.
I have to also ask a question of what is the best site to sell it off on? I have an amazon account but wonder if there are other websites as well.

Well that is pretty much all I have to say. I am slowly working on two other drawings that i will post soon. Also another traditional medium drawing as well that I will show pictures of as well.

Until next time I hope you all are enjoying my brushes and my art. ^_^
Take care and Happy Holidays.

Hi everyone! Happy Belated Holidays and Happy New Year!

I'm trying to kick myself out of my winter art block.
It's not a problem of if I have any ideas, it just I'm lacking the motivation to finish something.
For example: I'll be working on something and then get bored, frustrated, or just lose the motivation to continue. So I'll go and make a new piece, if the same thing happens with that one I'll either go back to the previous piece or I'll start a new one.
IT'S THE SAME DAMN CYCLE!! So I'm looking through all the stuff that I have and deleting what I don't want, and starting up the ones I can.

Has this every happened to you?

There are sometimes where I'll be just uploading black and white drawings or perhaps some sketches so it may take a while for me to upload a full digital painting.

I am also going to focus on making more videos and hopefully a new tutorial on how to draw hair. I'm not going to say that this is the ultimate way to draw hair, but rather the way I draw hair. From using the mouse to using my tablet. Also considering everyone uses Photoshop Creative Suite but I still use Photoshop Element 6, I'll try to keep it simple so everyone can do it. :)

Well hope you all are having a great year so far and hope they will continue to do so. Keep smiling. :D

Well hello, considering I haven't gotten the hang of my premium membership (from eleven-nineteen) so this journal has yet to gain it's awesomeness lol.

Anyways, I wanted to update you all on what I'm doing since I haven't written a journal entry in a while so here ya go. :D
I am currently drawing on tote bags to sell in my hometown. Now I'm thinking that I might sell them on the net as well.
There is nothing professional about them. I'm drawing on them with fabric marker, so the likeliness of it lasting is very slim lol.
I will upload photos when I get the chance.

To my new DA watchers! Thank you! :hug:

Also have you noticed I'm 22 now?!!!! I couldn't believe that I was 21 now I'm 22! It's weird having that feeling of getting older but also nice to drink at a bar now lol. ;p

NOTICE: About my "stock"... I will most likely move them to a different account so as not to create confusion with my art vs. my "stock". I'll be sure to let you know when that change will occur. :D

Let's see.... I am also working on my story for my creative writing class and it's starting to morph from it's original plan. I still have some sketches of my characters to upload... but they'll have to wait.

There is a main reason why I haven't been uploading much lately... my adviser. I have a different one for the summer and she's meaner. I honestly am having a difficult time working with her. All "nonsense" such as my sketches and anything I don't profit from are "useless" as she calls it. :( Really sad considering they are my drawings. I seriously can't wait for next week to come, then I get my buddy back lol.

But oh well enough of my problems. I hope you all are doing great. I wish you all great health and joy in your lives. :heart:
Till the next journal, I love you guys and take care. :D

First I'm doing photo-manips, then I'm doing photography, then I'm doing digital painting, then I'm uploading stock.
Seriously I have no idea what the hell I'm doing lol. :shrug:
Oh well, Hello loves! I apologize that I haven't been uploading anything lately.
If you have made a request... well... they have been pushed back slightly. But I will get back to doing that soon.
So to kind of make it up to you, I've submitted my "reference" shots.
These basically have helped me with lighting, shadows, and perspective.
I have tons of sketches that were based on these photos in my sketch book that I have for my class.
But I'll show you that later on in the future. :giggle:

It's been really crazy lately finishing up my finals :iconstudytimeplz:, which! I passed teehee. :icongreatjobplz:
I've also been getting ready for my summer lessons with my awesome "adviser", she's more like a boss.
So it's been really interesting working with her. I'm really learning a lot.
Let's see another thing I am working on is rather a free time deal.
My creative writing instructor is married to my arts instructor so it's really interesting how the two merge.
Such as for one assignment was to draw a character of our own original character in several poses. :iconmonkeythumbplz: Piece of cake! :cake:
Then to bring our characters to life we were to write a 10 page story on them, dialogue if needed.

And so knowing me I was going all out lol.
I'm a dork I turned in my assignment however I went overboard.... I love school. :giggle:
I finished the 10 pages as well as my character designs and since I'm done with finals I've been working solely on my story.
So there is something to look forward to "reading" now. lol.

I will be posting my character concept drawings soon.
And bare in mind they are just sketches alright?
So I haven't really spent all that much time on them. Actually they are more doll looking, almost anime.
So that's pretty much all that I've been doing
So I hope you all are doing great. :D
Stay safe, have fun and best wishes to you all.
Thank you so much to all my :+devwatch:ers. I love you all. :heart:

Allllllrighty then!!! Teehee.

Well today I have submitted a piece that I have had for the longest time lol.
I made it for my brother's birthday card so it was just for personal use but I figured you all would like to see it. :D
Now if you aren't aware I have a Facebook and what I basically do is post screenshots and the occasional making of step by step photos.
And I had a screenshot of this since Jan.23 lol.
So if you want a heads up on what I'll be uploading or what I'm working on subscribe or add me. :D

Twitter... I haven't been on there for a loooong time till recently.
The main reason for that is because my internet sucks and it doesn't always load all the way lol.

I also have a Zazzle account.
Zazzle is a website where you can purchase mugs, t-shirts, posters, etc; of my pieces.
Now I only have two pieces up on there right now but I will be uploading more.

Shadowness: That is basically my portfolio, so all my best stuff goes there. :D

Youtube: It's been months since I've uploaded anything on there but you can see some of my digital paintings there. I am working towards making more so don't worry.
Now I'm always looking for background music to put in my videos, so if you made any or have any suggestions let me know. :)

Now I think that's about it.
So enough blabbering. I hope you all have a great day and keep smiling. :iconbiggrinplz:
