@toyotami kun:

Meh, it's not a huge secret as I've posted on this before, but thanks =3

@Kitty K.O.:

hm I think I'll Pm you since this public! and I don't think that you'd want anyone else to read this! I hope you don't mind!

@toyotami kun:

Oh no, not really... It's very frustrating because he has short term memory damage and has forgotten a few long term memories, so we have to repeatedly explain things to him. And what's worse is, he doesn't understand the gravity of the situation sometimes and treats thing lke a joke when we're trying to get him to understand that what he's doing is very grating on us. He's always asking about food and rarely attempts to get it himself, but we have to do it for him, anyway, because there are certain foods he can't eat. He's got a lot of stuff going on and I've barely scratched the surface =/

But I guess I just have to keep moving forward =/

@Kitty K.O.:

I see, that's horrible, it's good that you stay to help him. that makes You're a really sweet person. I hope he gets better.
in my family only one person was working, now that I'm working, I'm helping out, but it's really tough.

@toyotami kun:

Thank you =^_^= I also have to help my family, but I think it would be harder to take care of things if I did have one at this point. Someone needs to be at home at all times to keep an eye on our dad. He suffers from seizures and we have to make sure he takes his medication and such.

@superstarpanou:

thank you! ^_^

@Kitty K.O.:

oh that sounds like! good luck with that project! I needed to get a job asap, to help out my family. ^_^

@Wakusei Aoshi:

XD thank you, yes I'm using cryola, just a lot of layering and watching out not to ruin the paper! XD

O.o Whoa! Crayola markers?! You surely have some skills with such a medium! Looking forward to this! Keep it up!

@toyotami kun:

That's probably why, because I haven't been able to get a job... it's quite possible I'll have to wait until summer to even try... Though I'm considering making a calendar for next year and selling them... I'd have to work pretty quickly and make a decision... should've actually started on somthing like this months ago XD;

Ah! This looks really cool so far!

LE GASP! You're using crayola markers and it looks THIS GOOD!? Respect! Respect! *bows*

@MangaKid:

thank you! I haven't got much done on it yet, but it should get done maybe today! ^_^

@Kitty K.O.:

Due to my job, I had to stop being shy. My friend even noticed I was a little more out going, as long as nobody makes things awkward! XD

Wahh! Amazing! So much attention for this WIP and its not even done yet I love how you're colouring it... Makes the character look 3D! Ooo I have so much to learn >3< Awesome work !!!!!

@toyotami kun:

It was pretty tough. Was pretty vegetative for a few months. Yeah, I'm more or less the same. Although probably more shy than you but less shy than I used to be XD; I just don't do too well socially fffff

@Kitty K.O.:

wow that must of been really tough. I was really shy so I didn't really make any friends. Now I'm not so shy, still queit but not as shy XD

@toyotami kun:

Yeah, I lost my bff and bf around sophomore year of college, but I didi make a few new friends while I was there... Unfortunately, one of them I had a crush on, so I spend the rest of college with unrequited feelings =/ Which really screwed over my desire to draw when I got rejected at the end of the school year. Ha, graduation and a broken heart all in one XD; Huzzah =P

@Kitty K.O.:

Yeah same here. I was much better in high school, I think when I was in college, I felt strange, there was nobody I knew there, so that kind of affected me and so I lost focas. I also didn't draw much there either, I was really self causious.

@toyotami kun:

Omg, you too? I thought there as just something wrong with me... I feel like I not only lost motivation for art, but got stupider and lost my overall ability to focus... I was so much smarter in high school "OTZ

@Kitty K.O.:

I want to try using those too someday in the future XD I don't know I think I lost focus in college?!!

@toyotami kun:

Lol, that's backwards from what I did X3 I didn't take art seriously in high school and then worked harder in college x3 But I still feel like I could learn more =o3o= One day, I'd like to try my hand at painting with oil on canvas and doing landscapes X3

@Kitty K.O.:

I wanted to take more art classes in high school but everything got screwed up so I didn't get the chance to take any proper art classes, then in college I did take an art class but I didn't even take it seriously, so now I regret it, but I did learn a lot though, I just want to practice perspective and shading. Also I want to focus on real life without getting bored! XD I'm just kinda self teaching myself until I can take an art class again sometime in the future!

@toyotami kun:

I actually wasn't good with watercolors when I tried them back in high school, but then again, I wasn't very good at many things back then. I tried a self portrait back then and took a drawing class in college and found my skill drastically improved. So i think I might be able to pull something remotely decent off even though I haven't done any painting in a while XD;

Really, using water... Think it works with the crayons? XD lol I think I might have some spare markers lying around, but they've probably all dried out by now =/

Fff, nah, that's okay, it's just the chain of conversation X3 haha

@Kitty K.O.:

I've tried some of those things, I like the water color, but I suck at painting, my hand always becomes so trembly and I always end up with paint all over the place! the other two things I don't like because they're to messy...but that's just me.

I want to try using cryola markers and experimenting with water, using watercolor paper, but I haven't had that chance to go shopping yet.
There was this one artist that inspired me to try mixing cryolas with water to get some really nice effects. Her work is amazing, it hard to beleive it was cryola!
Sorry got off topic! O_O'

@Jouanofarc:

Yes I use cryola markers. I just have to keep layering, but at the same time being careful not to ruin the paper! XD I Also have to edit the drawing, just clean it up a little. It's funny! XD

I also do some digital stuff, but it's not as good and takes me forever to do! Xd

@toyotami kun:

That's the one thing about traditional art that I'm wary of X3 Still, I've gotten some supplies and I can now start experimenting more with 3 types of traditional stuff =3

1. Watercolor paint on watercolor paper
2. Black Charcoal on sketch paper
3. White Charcoal on Artagain paper (black, thick paper)

And it's almost Winter Break for everyone else, so I don't have to worry about waking up early XD; *dances*

Just one word AMAZING!!! Do you really use dose crayola colors!!! I can't believe it I thought you did somethings with the computer!!! AWESOME!!! Great job!

@Kitty K.O.:

thanks, I didn't even know that cryola markers can make good effects until I started experimaenting with them. I really like using them, I just have to keep using layers and be careful not to ruin the paper. XD

I think its amazing how you can achieve those effects and such with simple crayola markers =3 Lookin good so far! =D
