In class today, I somehow managed to draw France instead of take notes. ^_^;;; At least we were discussing historical events, some of which happened in France?

Artist:

Character: France
Rating: G
Summary: I did eventually color the doodle in Photoshop. Promise!

France

You drew Russia and I missed it? Indeed I did - drat! I need to go through the community backlog attentively. Who knows how much other awesomeness I've missed!
Yeah! I really want to draw interesting things too! ;A; One of the things I regret most is that I can't come up with plots for pictures when I want to draw them (like, the France/Russia series? I'm stuck. Um. If you have some time to spare, could you perhaps help me with it by ~~writing it for me~~ betaing the probably incredibly purple prose I've written?.. )

Actually I haven't seen most of your art yet. I've yet to browse through your journal, really. Have just discovered your Dumbledore/Grindelwald picture, which is why this comment is taking so long to appear.
Yes, it really is weird how some rules still apply to anime. But I've discovered that there are some proportions I have to keep if I want a drawing to look attractive to me. But these things are apparently really personal - most people seem to have no problem with arms that are so long that the wrist hangs lower than the hips, and I don't like them...
But if you hate drawing in a style, why would you do it? To explore the style and find a variation that you like? Or to "keep true" to the original look of the characters? Or for other reasons?

You have my respect! I myself couldn't dream of colouring anything with a mouse, much less outlining it...

I want to draw him again. So that's probably going to be the next project: draw him in my style. Maybe doing something. Possibly in a fistfight with the US. I think that would be both hot and not-boring.

I hear that. For some reason, I can only really manage 'plots' to my pictures when I'm actually writing comics. (I'd be very glad to beta! I have a lot of free time, but I pay for it with my emotional stability. ;__;)

See, that's weird--because my wrists are well below my hips on my actual body. Somewhere around my upper thighs. O_o? I tried it mainly to 'keep true' to the characters, because I love their look and I wanted them to be recognizable--but also because each style has something to teach, and I've learned a lot about the nuts and bolts of Photoshop from this project. What I've learned about outlines alone is phenomenal. So it's not all bad. ^_^;;

I wish I could afford a tablet. =(

Oh yes, please draw it! I too think it would be very hot and not-boring.

Yeah! When I do get ideas for pictures, they tend to turn into comics. Or weird picture/text combinations.
Thank you so much for agreeing to beta! I've been feeling terribly uncomfortable about asking you to do it.

They're seriously longer? When you're standing, not when you're sitting? Oh wow, I didn't think that happens in real life. Pfft, I wonder why I still thought that. It's not like I haven't lost enough arguments about whether proportions I held to be immutable are merely my own proportions or indeed the golden standard of human anatomy.

"Each style has something to teach" - that's so true! I love learning from styles. I don't think I've ever tried to learn from a style that I'm uncomfortable with using, though. Maybe I should try that.

Yeah, I know how you feel. I've been dreaming about a tablet for the longest time, and then I actually got one for my birthday. Greatest present ever! It's pretty old by now, though, and now I'm dreaming about a new one.

No worries! You've given me great advice; hopefully I can do the same for you.

*stands* Yep! wrists definitely end below crotch level. My sister's arms are even longer; her hands are halfway down her thighs. But we make fun of her monkey arms, and she can never find shirts with long enough sleeves. XD

Mmm. ^__^ Maybe I should ask for that for Christmas. I can't think of anything else I really want~
