Thanks, I've been gradually working up to it for a while. Tegami Bachi actually has a lot of shading like this and sometimes I wonder how the artist meets their deadline lol

@rambo123:

Except for a few classes I agree.

@rambo123:

Yep. To be honest I can't think of a major difference between the two.

@rambo123:

It's a computer class where we learn how to fix computers and networks.

@rambo123:

I haven't drawn in a while either. I was thinking of taking a graphic design class at my school but I chose to take Cisco instead. Do you like it?

@rambo123:

How do you draw now?

@rambo123:

I usually draw in pencil and then go over it with a pen.

@hanisu93:

Thank you. ^.^

@Bluemoon Halo:

That's a good philosophy.

@akatsuki15:

i don't try to because if i try it looks bad so i just draw it in my own style! and just hope for the best!

@Bluemoon Halo:

That's very true. Every artist has their own style and if you're drawing fan art it can be hard to imitate some of them.

@akatsuki15:

that's why i love drawing there's alway's a new challenge!

@Bluemoon Halo:

We all do trust me, there's always room for improvement.

@akatsuki15:

thank you! but i hope i can get better soon!

@Bluemoon Halo:

You're doing a pretty good job shading some of your pictures, I really like them.

you did a great job shading the black jacket! i don't think i can ever shade that good...its one of my many weak points... but i'm practicing every day hopefully i'll get better soon. anyway luv this pic hugs and favs! great job!

@butler2die4:

Thanks Gauche is probably my favorite character in Tegami Bachi. Even if it's centered around Lag.

No need to hide *chuckles* idk much about her either, the only series i'm familiar with starts w/ Interview w/ the vampire and has 10 books. I've heard she's very descriptive and focused on arhitecture. Are u going to school to become a writer or maybe an editor?

@akatsuki15:

Yeaps that's her. You knew how much I love vampires and their books, but I've only recently heard of that author *hides*. Am planning to read her books but her writings are a lot, I don't know where to start. I was thinking that if you're familiar with her mebbe you can recommend some of her early works, but it's okay if you haven't read her books.
Owh yeaps, I'm still learning, and thankies, I think so too *chuckles* and I love what I'm doing

@hanawa:

who doesn't? i've never read one of her books though i have been planning on it. She wrote Interview W/the vampire, and queen of the damned (2 of my fav movies) and the vampire lestat and a whole bunch of other books! why do u ask? and ur not that old. ur still a student. awesome major btw

@akatsuki15:

Awww maaan am I that old?? XD Am studying English Linguistics and Communication (but I'm a professional slacker! XP). Owh there's something I gotta ask this full-fledged bookworm: Do you happen to know this author called Anne Rice?

@hanawa:

uni...university?! wow. i'm only in 11th. what are u studying? yeah another month. it all goes by so fast...

@akatsuki15:

XD LOL~! Ahhh so you have another month to celebrate, lucky you! My 3-weeks holiday has offically ended today! So yeah, I'm in uni now...

@hanawa:

Ok ok i will. promise. so yeah. schools about to start back. in about a month

@akatsuki15:

It's a fairly recent anime. So yeah, you go, no, you MUST go check it out~!

@hanawa:

welcome for the gift, no i haven't heard of that anime gonna have to check it out now.

@akatsuki15:

Hey no biggies, you deserve it! And thankies for the gift~! I'm sooo happy!
Hey have you heard about this new anime called Uragiri wa Boku no Namae Shitteiru (The Betrayer who Knows My Name). Looks soooo cool to meh~!

Watch the OP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NUKG8TXbGg

@hanawa:

Thanx for the gift. I'm also sending a gift.
Books are the best gifts for me. soooo... what else can we talk about?

@akatsuki15:

*chuckles* yeah2 you've told me that before! I bet the most suitable gifts for yah are books desho?
Mebbe I should gift yah one...

@hanawa:

Yes, I told you I am a complete and total book worm! I read everything! If I find out that there's a book to a movie I have to read it. and vice versa if theres a movie to a book I want to see it. And ur right about the manga vs. anime thing too. ahh I love books

@akatsuki15:

Ahhh you really ARE a bookworm~! And yuppies that is exactly the same with manga vs anime~

@hanawa:

Theres only one but it was good. I read the books before hand and the movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. cuz after reading the book no movie can really compare you know?

@PaintoSaizu:

Thanx I just drew it the way it looked in the manga though. but I swear no tracing.

@akatsuki15:

Ahhh hope you'll get well soon, mentally and physically. Dust is not at all pleasant, and to tell yah the truth I can hardly stand it.
Hmmm, nope, I've heard of them but have never watched them. Do you like those movies?

@hanawa:

I'm not sick or anything, mentally, I'm exhausted. Working at the library involves a lot of dust so I've been sneezing quite a bit. let's see...have you seen that movie Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightening Thief?

@akatsuki15:

I've been... ahhh my head's pwetty messy atm. Got loads of stuffs to do and think about. But physically I'm fine, how bout yah?

@hanawa:

It'd be nice though....anyway whatcha been up to? :)

@akatsuki15:

Nice wish! The only thing left is to convince to God fulfill that... DX

@hanawa:

Yes we do *sigh* like 30 something would do nicely. XD

@akatsuki15:

*nods nods* I understand. We definitely need more than 24 hours a day! XD

@hanawa:

Well I have a job and that takes up most of my time...not complaining though (much) and I do find time to read It's just that I need MORE time. The days need to be longer....

@akatsuki15:

Waaa really? A bookworm like you finds it hard to spend time reading? Wowsies! Time sure is getting out of hands!

@hanawa:

You and I wish for the same things. I never have enough time to read. Even though I spend most of my time reading XD

@akatsuki15:

I always knew that they are way waaaaaay superior than the animes! XD LOL Wish I have more time to read though.

@hanawa:

Well then I suppose you've learned that manga is superior? lol

@akatsuki15:

XD 'cause I only watched the anime! LOL

@hanawa:

hehheh so i knew something u didn't hmmm? lol

@akatsuki15:

Whoa really?! That's quite a revelation. Yuppies very worthy to look for indeed~

@TamaDoodles24:

Thanks I just drew how it looked out of the manga. but NO tracing. I hate that. My drawing used to be TERRIBLE, nothing could compare to the awefulness so don't worry, you'll improve with time.

@hanawa:

Oh, I knew that thanx to onemanga.com whew! I'm not as far behind as I thought. btwGauche has is memory back I think tempting to look isn't it? I don't mind spoilers in the least. I'll still read the manga.

@akatsuki15:

You mean you don't mind spoiler?? Well but if you insist...
Lag will later meet Gauche but his idol has an amnesia due to "hearts" overused. And he's no longer the same person and had joined an anti-Tegami Bachi organization. His dingo, Roda has transformed into a female HUMAN.
Errr are those too much of a spoiler? Don't kill me for that, pleash! DX

@hanawa:

I haven't watched it but I've read a little, but again not til the end...spill please. *beg, grovel, plead*

@akatsuki15:

Tee~hee~! Ey have you watched Tegami Bachi till the end?

@hanawa:

Then I guess I can be a rare one too.

@akatsuki15:

They do, but very rarely. And you are talking to one of these rare ones!

@hanawa:

welcome^^

@akatsuki15:

Yeay I love Pocky! Thankies so much! *vampire-hugs*

@hanawa:

Thank You! Have some Pocky! flavor: chocolate.

@akatsuki15:
