I've been thinking about trying to figure out a way to improve upon my lineart style recently :/
That's one of the few things that I've never played much with over the last 5 or 6 years... mainly because I don't know how to lol :XD:
So, I'm gonna post this journal as a way to help me brainstorm ways to either improve up on in it or work on alternate styles of doing it :) Hopefully something that's more efficient as well, even though it's not necessary for it to be so :D
A few of the ideas I've got already are here (and I'll add more when I think of others):
1. Lineless - Instead of using actual lines just using blocks of colors and shadin
Better get this up while the wifi is working lol :XD:
But, I'm actually a bit behind this month on my art... oops lol :XD: But I have good reasons ;P
For one I've been workin on my first irl commission on a canvas (super exciting :squee:) and it had to be done before Christmas, as it's meant to be a gift. That means I've been traveling a town over to work at my mother's home (better lighting and a lot more space over there) to work.
Then I've also had loads of holiday stuff going on, mainly helping my mother with Thanksgiving and working on getting stuff for her birthday in a few days :D
So, busy busy lol :giggle: but I'm back at it now a
Christmas dinner in the Great Hall Hogwarts set! by DestinyBlue, journal
Christmas dinner in the Great Hall Hogwarts set!
So I was super lucky to get tickers to go and have dinner at Warner Brothers Studio London, in the Harry Potter Great Hall set!
Growing up, Harry Potter has been a positive presence in my life. During my teenage years I had a really tough time in school with bullies (turns out if you dye your hair blue at 15, you get grief) But reading the books opened up a world for me, somewhere I could escape, and be part of the adventures; So I jumped at the chance to have Christmas dinner in the Great Hall set at Warner Brothers studio tour London! Tickets were £220, so not cheap - but there's no experience like it <3 Let me show you...
Excited
Since I've already got my schedule for October figured out (and about half of them inked up, thanks to having free time since the wifi's been out -.-) So I thought that I might as well work on working out what November's schedule will be :D
As always here's the rules for voting :D: List the pieces in order of which you'd prefer to see first to the least (per day). I'd like to see votes like: "I'd like to see, Sunday - 2, 5, 3, 1, 4, Monday - 5, 4, 1, 2, 3," etc. So keep that in mind.
So if you have the time please vote :hug:

I made it back (mostly) in one piece from Toronto Canada! :heart:
So 4 years ago at the FanExpo Canada show I met this lovely girl Caitlyn, we became friends, and I invited her and her sister Juliet to help me out at the convention last year; this year they invited me to stay at their lakehouse before the show for a few days - how could I refuse an offer like that!?
I travel a lot, but an actual few days holiday - What a treat!
Although there wasn't toooo much time for chilling, as Cait and her family had many high-octane plans for me! Including 'tubing' which involves sitting on a giant rubber ring pulled by a speedboat! And ATV driving,

Wintertime Wonder -Drarry-
Wintertime Wonder
Harry Potter sat on a halfway frozen bench that was covered in snow. He was dressed in warm Hogwarts robes and a scarlet and gold scarf hung from his neck.
It was wintertime and the battle at Hogwarts had been over for nearly five months. Although Harry had defeated Voldemort he was probably the saddest person to be alive. Not only had Lupin, Tonks, Mad-Eye, Hedwig, Snape, Fred, and fifty Hogwarts students had died but Ginny Weasley was among them.
Difficult as it was to tell Ron and Hermione what had happened to her, he forced it out on day out of frustration.
I had just found Lupin and Tonks lying on the ground,&
Took a bit of a nap after work today, so this is up a bit later than what I wanted it to be lol :XD:
But either way, I'm starting to wrap up August's artwork, so I'm going ahead and posting the art vote journal for September :D
That way I can get to work on September's artwork sooner rather than later :) You don't have to vote, but I'd really appreciate it, since I'm horrible at making up my mind by myself lol :D
So here's the rules for the vote: List the pieces in order of which you'd prefer to see first to the least (per day). I'd like to see votes like: "I'd like to see, Sunday - 2, 5, 3, 1, 4, Monday - 5, 4, 1, 2, 3," etc. So keep that
Not sure if you guys have seen my announcement on my pictures, but my wifi's been down for the last couple of day :(
Luckily, it fixed itself around dinner time today :D So, yay :squee:
Also, I've been in a bit of an art block the last couple of week or so (lack of comments the past week haven't helped :/) but I've actually been drawing again, it's a miracle.
Of course, it's still nothing that I need to draw, but it's a start at least lol :XD:
I've mainly been drawing a lot of Marvel/Avengers stuff :) Really not sure if you guys are actually interested in seeing any of them though :/
They will be up eventually, I mean, but it's not worth
Why did he leave? by Wishshecouldraw0829, literature

Why did he leave?
"Why are you leaving me?!" I yelled, I was grabbing on to his robe looking up at him with tear in my eyes.
"Because, I am."
"Please! Just tell me why! Why?!" my tears fell, flooding out of my eyes.
"Because, I don't love you." I felt my heart pound, it felt like I was hit with the largest hammer ever.
"What?" I backed away slightly, but I didn't let go of him. "You're lying! You have to be. You have to be, please tell me you're lying." I was crying even harder now, he had to be lying. He couldn't really mean it . He told me he loved me he told me
"No, I'm not. Let go Potter. Now." I looked at him, he isn't lying
