^^" well, it seems I'm not the only one in a drawing slump. Maybe I'm contageous? Whoops....
I did manage to draw something decent yesterday tho. Unfortunantly, it was of one of my original characters which means I can't post it! T_T ahhh...but neways, I was really surprised with how it turned out. I was just looking around my old drawings from the past two years trying to find a rough draft I made of a comic when I came across one of my character drawings and profiles. It was a character I had made up I think some time after August. So out of boredom I decided to try and redraw him (I never did finish him back then cuz he wears a lot of armor, so thanx whtdragon for that tutorial!). I was so shocked at my finished result. I mean, I never realized how much I improved in barely even a year! My original had a really wide head and his body was very badly proportioned (and I'm not even going to go into his armor -_-" ) and then my new drawing had correct proportions (or at least he looked normal), awsome armor, flowy hair (nother issue I had), and well...let's just say overwhelmingly dramatic improvement. It's just a shame I can't post him. The only original character of mine that I've posted was Kosen back in 2004 and my zodiac characters cuz I have no story for them yet and I doubt they'll ever make it in the manga-anime world.
Yesterday I also figured out a way to sort out my movement issues. Drawing the spine. Kinda creepy yes, but it works. I was trying to draw a character sleeping against a tree, but I kept messing up the alignment of his shoulders and back. So I went to the base of the neck and drew a line where I thought would be the most likely place for his spine to be and then drew the body around it (just for the record, I draw freehand. I can't draw shapes for joints and things then put skin on top. It doesn't work for me)So yeah, my drawing slump isn't so bad.
Neways, Happy Fourth of July! Hope you guys get to see lotsa fire works! I know I will! *laughs evilly as she pulls out a whole wagon of em* jk ^^" I've never even lit a match! haha

videogame fact o the day: The name "Nintendo" roughly translates as "leave luck to heaven", "heaven blesses hard work", "in heaven's hands", or "work hard, but in the end it's in heaven's hands." Interesting, no? I never would have guessed.
