Another thing, I wanted to ask you guys something
To those who draw animals and creatures:

How do go about thinking out and drawing unique and dynamic poses?
Like, I try to block out a pose using shapes and lines--

Idk I just wanted to hear how others processed

ALSO LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SONG

ONE MORE WEEK
AND I'M FINALLY FREE FROM SCHOOL!!
I'M PRETTY SURE FOR A FACT I'M GOING TO FAIL INTERMEDIATE PAINTING
BUT AT THIS POINT IDC, I'M ONE WEEK CLOSER TO BREAK--

for like a week //SOBS



But you know, as always, I fricken take that week xDD
As I finish up 3 things I owe, I will be doing YCH commissions afterwards!
They'll be-- normal priority, as I'll be trying to sketch out sticker designs to sell for my booth for Supercon 2015!!
But I will still be taking commissions, because any money right now is great ; 0 ;

I'm saving up to buy the stickers, along with feeding myself and buying art supplies for school hh

OH-- ALSO?? I HAVE 527 WATCHERS AS OF RIGHT NOW?? 
Like geeze! Thanks you guys! I hadn't even realised it until now xDD
I hit 400+ at the beginning of this year I think? You guys don't know how much this means to me ; v ;
That's a big fricken number! I wish I can do something for it, like a raffle or something like I did for 400+

But I'm not taking any more art requests, commissions or trades until I finish the 3 I have to do
And of course, the YCH commissions I'll be trying out! So maybe I'll do something for-- hmm 550 watcher mark?
If it does get to that! If not, I'm not complaining!

Hey guys! just making a small update.
I'm almost 8 weeks into my quarter (after tomorrow will be week 8 of 11)
Soon I'll be on break, for sadly only a week :/ That's how Ai goes ughgh
But when that happens, I'll be finishing up commissions and stuff!
Though right now, I'm going to try and tend to some of them--
Because I don't have supplies for my final for one class at the moment,
and I'm pretty much fed up with a painting I'm doing for intermediate painting--

Like-- I'm a digital artist. And I mean I can paint, but-- I really dislike painting. I don't like traditional art too much
I'm totally fine with maybe pencil and paper, but thats it. I just-- Painting isn't my thing
And this professor is stressing that "Oh you need to stop being a baby and be professional about painting, you need to be a jack of all trades-- what if so and so wants to hire you to paint something-- you're not going to turn that down!"

And I'm like-- yes I fricken am, are you kidding me?
I went here to work up into doing a career that I will enjoy and want to be in.
If someone is offering me a job that requires me to paint-- I'm not going to take it.
Because it's not what I want to do in life for a career.
I'm not so desperate enough to take any job anyone wants to give me
I rather live on the streets doing what I love to do, rather than being unhappy with a job.
I'm fine with like anything but traditional painting. I just can't deal, I don't like how my paintings come out.

And a lot of the illustration professors in my school sometimes even bash or talk badly about digital art
like "OH anyone can just pull something off the internet and do some edits or whatever and try to pass it off as art"
UM-- DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD SOME DIGITAL ARTISTS WORK? DIGITAL ARTISTS DO SO MUCH, LITERALLY JUST AS MUCH AS TRADITIONAL ARTISTS
I'm just-- UGHH very peeved at the moment.

But yeah, gonna go ahead and get some things done

So I've been working pretty well! working a lot more effectively--
though it's still tiring to paint and sketch big projects hhh 

I wanna do polls and journal's for raffles and stuff but aaa
I just don't want to post things when I said I wouldn't you know?

But anyways I just got home from a long day of school, went to the morikami museum for photo tech class, then back to school and then I figured my best friend :iconbehemutt: and I deserved a nice well-earned break, seeing the 3D Sponge Bob movie

IT WAS GREAT HAHHAHHA

Also here is a list for things I'm awaiting from peeps
Sorry for pinging, please take your time okay! No rush, just putting this here for me to remember

VCR-WOLFE Sketch commission (Flight Rising dreg)
astropaws dragon commission
nakklevaar gore request 
nastyasalways PSP commission
011930 Design Trade (awaiting what they want and awaiting their part)

again no pressure, this is really just for me to remember than anything xDD

I won't be posting art/journals/polls at this point until I'm done with this quarter. I may hop on to reply and comment on things, but it will be rarely. Last month was really a crusher, and I just need to concentrate on school as of now. Again sorry to those who commissioned me, do know that I have FULL INTENT on finishing your commission, just please be patient with me ;;;

I've just been so depressed and stressed lately because of all these things happening
I'm trying to cope
but its serving to be very difficult

which is normal.

I'm way behind in school, but I'm thankful my professors are understanding for the most part
but I just cannot deal with being clotted up like this.
I don't have supplies for my painting class tomorrow because I can't afford at this time

I thought taking commissions would help
but it's only serving to be more stressful
because I feel bad that I can't get them done when I want to
my priorities are all over the fucking place right now
my sanity is too

But you know
the good thing that came out of this
I have a job interview Friday.
My friend had named me when the place asked if she had friends who needed a job
It's an insurance/financial aid place called Primerica
I'm hoping I can get hired aaa I really need a job.
But I'm scared I'll get stressed even more
we'll see I guess.


HAHAH NEVERMIND, PRIMERICA IS TOO WISHYWASHY FOR ME
gonna see if I can apply to an animal shelter/hospital near my area maybe

I'm just going to put a list of the things I need to do including commissions and stuff I owe here so I don't forget.



astropaws Sketch with flats, my style, 2 ocs


Spazzan ART TRADE

Adopts
MYO Grem2

If I hadn't listed you, and I owe you something, let me know

SCREAMS ALMOST THERE BB

gosh dang i feel the need to like
draw you something to celebrate
thROW ME UR FAV OC BRAH

oh and for animals idk if its my place to give advice since im not,,,, that great at it but
i try to picture a single pose from different angles? :0 and i like to search up random pieces of refs, like a paw here or head here and i just sorta put it together
a lot of unique poses ive seen are the ones from behind/below with some perspective
its also really cool when the body twists in ways that you dont see often
aaa it also helps to give the character something to do? like a goal in mind, so there's action and purpose!
yeeee

aLSO THAT FNAF NOICE E B)
