Candy Cravings

ugh, another week has passed and i suddenly found it time to create another drawing. this one i didn't try on either, i find it worse than my last one. i had this great idea in my mind . . . and then this is what came out of it. oh well, I'll have many other chances to do greater things.

   i decided to draw this because i was listening to a song about candy and i decided i wanted to draw something having to do with candy. I'm not exactly sure how this got to be . . . this, but here it is. i wish i would have drawn more candy to fill up more space. i think that would have made it better. hey, at least i did something.

   in other news, i finally got my tablet back after it broke! for those of you who think I'm talking about a piece of paper, you're wrong! a tablet is a professional drawing tool that you hook in to your computer and you use a pen to draw on it and what you're drawing appears on the screen of your PC/mac. it's difficult to explain, but you can't just look down at the tablet and the picture will be on it. you have to look up at the screen to see what you're doing. it's like those new drawing thingies for the wii if you've seen those. on this, you can use your hand as well. it's not just for drawing either, you can use it instead of a mouse, type with it, use it to put signatures on documents or write quick notes in Journal, etc. etc. it's really awesome, but at the moment, all i can do with it is doodle because it's difficult to use. :p

Never Forget

as most of you already know, my whole blog is about my seven week journey though art. At least one drawing per every seven days and this is my first one that i just finished. I bet a lot of you are thinking, . . . you just copied that from some site, but no, i did it all on my own. How? I draw it first on a blank sheet of paper, uploaded the pencil sketch, and colored it on on a professional program called Easy Paint Tool SAI. If any of you like to draw, you should check it out. Just search the name on google and read about it. The actual program is pretty easy to use as long as you have a mouse and a computer! the process takes from hours to days, but it's better than anything you'll ever get on some MS Paint thing.

   Anyway, this is one my characters from my books I'm writing. His name is Tori and before you question me, he's supposed to look like a girl, I'm tired of people saying there's no way he's a guy. it's not that i don't know how to draw guys, because i can. he just looks like that. this is a picture of him from when he was five (now currently 14) holding a flower in which you can only find in the place where he used to live before it was destroyed by a horrible fire. his memories of the place aren't many, but the ones he still has he tries to hold on to the best he can.
