Using photo references I haven't been drawing "seriously" for a very long time and haven't been posting art online for that long either. As such, I don't really know the ... rules? of using references. I understand that you have to cite them though, obviously. But if you're just searching in google images, for example: "blue jay flying" and find a good picture ([url=http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/cshirsch/40]this[/url]), how would you use this? You'd have to cite it, but is that it? Also, how much can you get from the picture for it not to be considered too similar or tracing? For example, with the blue jay picture, I had it in a window beside a small photoshop window and was drawing by looking at it like so: [url=h
Drawing of Aran and his horribly-proportioned wolf. First time drawing a full-body wolf, a background that's not a sky, and arm muscles lol (you can tell). I was originally going to draw his halberd too but yeah ... (can't draw weapons). What is ligh
The cannoneer's design is extremely cool :D So I drew it. This is an attempt at a no-lineart, painting style. That thing on his face is a bandage by the way ... And how to shade gold ... I tried.
Priest Mastery Book So, I'm trying to choose a mastery book from the event for my priest. I know the skill level has to be at least 5 before you can use it, so my question is: Do you need to first get the Angel Ray 10 skill book to be able to even use the one from the event? Or are skills that need skill books exceptions and don't need the 5 in it first? Also, what other skill book should I get if I don't choose Angel Ray?
The time you felt most pro What was it? Personally, for me, it was today, when I was doing mpq, and on the stage with the platforms (where you guess which ones to go on), I guessed all of them correctly in one try each (so I wasn't teleported downwards). I felt so pro:)
How to not get distracted Seriously. I am pathetic at staying focused. I don't know how people do it. I procrastinate SO MUCH. I stay up late everyday, not because I'm doing homework, but because I get so distracted with other things. I probably do homework, on average, one day a week, holy crap. I have a project that was issued out [i]a month ago[/i] and I haven't started it. Technically, it was due yesterday. But I have a sort of grace period until tomorrow night. [i]I have not started this project yet.[/i] It will count for about 25% of my first report card, probably. ('Cause my freaking teacher is only giving us like 5 assignments until the first report card which is ridiculously close to the beginning of the year. How are you supposed
Quick sketch :D Effects and crap took longer though
Taking basil sketch requests [b]Okay, so I didn't draw all that much the past two days *coughnotatallyesterday*. I'll draw after ... I finish watching Soul Eater. And maybe reading Ao no Exorcist. And maybe I'll give the No. 6 anime another chance ...[/b] I'm experimenting/practicing some styles, and I'm bored, so I'd like to draw your avatar if I like it.

DurararaBasil Parody RESULTS Because I doubt any of you are still following [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2149948/6#comments_list]this[/url] thread, I'm posting the results here. HERE ARE THE RESULTS! (If you don't know their names, it's just from top to bottom. There may be typos) ROLES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. I'm having trouble with deciding on Kida, Izaya, Saburo, and Shinra so the other roles might be switched around too. Or not. Rest assured, these 14 (15 if you count blob) people will be in the picture for sure. Thanks to everyone who posted! (Since no couple posted, I just made the couple two similarly looking people there ... for a laugh) Mikado: Freezya Kida: Zephyrzz Anri: SmokedCheese Simon: NoCookieForYou Izaya: xArchArro
