My Direction in art! and Music Project.

Journal Entry: Thu May 15, 2008, 4:48 AM
so.....yeah. just thought i'd try to explain abit of what direction my art will be going from now on.

i've felt alittle stagnant and bored with my art so far this year. i suppose i've just been leaning how to use my tablet....but i haven’t really draw anything very impressive at all in a while >: apart from taming the tablet...i haven't tried anything new. and i don't think i've been challenging myself enough.

So i'm going to be posting slightly differently from now on. Not really Hugely impressive finished works or anything. i'm just going to try and focus on certain aspects that i need to practice and work on:

1. Clothing. -there will probably be random sketches/block coloured pieces where the focus is on getting clothing right and paying as much attention to it as i do with faces ;__; cos i really NEED to do that

2. getting back up with and improving my anatomy drawing skills. i've been letting it go lately :C

3. learning how to use textures effectively. i have taken hundreds of photo-textures to practice with *u*

4. getting excited to use some of my favourite elements. lighting, mood, perspective, again. and pushing myself with those.

YEP. so that’s it. i will probably still post crack. and fanart. as well as originals/randoms. but i'm just going to try and make sure that i learn something new with every piece! :D YEAHH!!!

.........

and from tonight i'm taking on a little self project- to illustrate/base artwork on a bunch of my favourite songs at the moment.

for months now i've had some artworks in my head based off a few of the songs on my i-pod, and i'm sick of having them stuck there. SO i'm going to draw them out and try to learn shiz with them P:< hahaha

i can think of atleast 7 songs i want to draw. but there may be more. idk.

i'm posting the first one tonight. though note that it's quite EMO XDDDDD i imagined it in my depression a few months back


anyways. hopefully you'll see alot more effort and abit more improvement from me soon. we can pray P:
<333 much love yall!

Oh yeah...
I started drawing Kenny (I forget when this was), but he looked un-kenny-ish, so it became a random person with messy hair (windy day!). And it reminded me of someone. And now that I look at it...it looks like you. o_0 I mean, it doesn't like EXACTLY like you, but the face reminds me of your's...it's wierd...>.>

I'm thinkin', you need more pageviews. ;D

I contributed~ *feels accomplished* you're welcome hunny~ XDD
*AndrejA:iconAndrejA: May 1, 2008, 1:37:52 AM
yeah thats true >___> I wouldn't pay 16 dollars for only 1 poster ... ouch =__= .... I will continue searching and see if I can find anything better than that :)
gosh sorry for cluttering your page with so many messages ^___^;;
=Kinky-chichi:iconKinky-chichi: May 1, 2008, 1:19:10 AM
Yeah i saw that site quite a while ago. :D the stickers and magnets look alright, but i think the prints would turn out way too expensive. plus you have to add in postage costs from America u__u that can hurt.
i wish there was a site like that running from in Australia D:

*AndrejA:iconAndrejA: May 1, 2008, 1:06:13 AM
oh rly? :O Cause I checked some DA journals of people going to various anime festivals and read that some sell posters for 2.5$ O.o but hey, if you say that A3 sells for 10$ thats quite a good profit :) btw I found this site which might be useful to you too [link] They make custom stickers, magnets, posters and more ^^
=Kinky-chichi:iconKinky-chichi: May 1, 2008, 12:26:49 AM
$2.5 isn't too bad really if they are pretty good quality? cos most people would sell A3 for $10 or more at Manifest :D

--
....boogaloo
*AndrejA:iconAndrejA: Apr 30, 2008, 11:38:10 PM
oh wow, it must take a lot of effort if you're doing everything by yourself O__O
I will do some research and see if I can find some good alternatives :O
I can print high quality A3 posters at uni but they are 2.5$ each, so it is pretty expensive :/
=Kinky-chichi:iconKinky-chichi: Apr 30, 2008, 10:50:12 PM
XD i do all my stuff myself. i have a canon A3 printer, but yeah most other people get stuff done....overseas? i know *snowbunnyluv does, i think she has heaps of connections in china or something?? o__o shes so lucky. she does my badges and keychains for me for a small fee aswell . :D

i kinda want to find a place to do all my prints and stuff though cos it was sooo much work doing it myself last time ;__; i want someone else to do it for me XD;;;

*AndrejA:iconAndrejA: Apr 30, 2008, 10:44:27 PM
thanks for the info ^^ I really appreciate it
One more question. Where do you order all the prints and items? is there a cheap place in melbourne or maybe online?
And yeah I agree with you. I will first check out the festival and maybe next year try to get a table :3
=Kinky-chichi:iconKinky-chichi: Apr 30, 2008, 5:20:02 AM
um. well i've only had a table once. last september. but it cost about $60 i think. i sold prints (A4 and A3) Bookmarks, button/badges, keychains, phone charms and misc jewellry items. all of them Fanart. and this year i might consider doing some sewing and sculpture items too.

and there are a couple of artists i have seen selling non-fanart stuff. like....pretty fantasy looking girls and stuff. but i don't know if it sells well or not??? no idea.

but i think you should probably go to a few this year first to check them out before jumping into having a table. cos damn they are alot of work D: but still fun! XD

*AndrejA:iconAndrejA: Apr 30, 2008, 4:50:41 AM
Well I never went to an Anime festival because I moved to Melbourne only 2 years ago and still havent met friends who would go to such event with me. This year will be the first time to see how does this whole thing work. I would like to get a table one day as well, but I don't really know if people would like my work ^^;; *sigh*
Do you mind if I ask you some questions about Manifest?
How much do U usually pay to get a table? What kind of stuff do you sell there? Also I am not a fanart artist and I was wondering if people buy non Anime related themes.
