My art. That Is going pretty well, i think. I have moved past profiles and I can now do 3/4th view to some extent, and I have been working on some new hairstyles and things like that. This was all taught by internet tutorials. My main problem right now is consistency. I cannot consistently draw in the 3/4th view, and my noses and eyes change from drawing to drawing. I wish the tutorials online wee more detailed. I keep having to go from using actual technique to just winging it and that throws off the proportions or makes the head shape weird. I also cannot get the shading. No matter how many tutorials I watch, I can’t do it. Anyone out there have any suggestions? I do feel like I am getting better though. I find the boys and bodies are still difficult for me. I have also found that short hair is easier for me to figure out.
My writing progress has not improved, not even a little bit. I have no time. I feel like with the current semester coming up it is only going to get worse. I have come up with a new book idea that is pretty awesome. It is in the steampunk category. I plan to be more prepared before I start this one. This is going to be a lot of reading. I should have read more before starting my current project.
And last but not least, my newest new thing is* drumroll* * pigs flying* dating. I took it upon myself to join a couple of dating sites. I am so new to dating and so open about that, it appears to have scared people away. All except for one, but we will get to him later. At first it was epic fail. All the men I thought would be a good match for me were either too shallow or too impatient. They all wanted me to give them i numer so that we could text and I was just not comfortable doing that. After i told them that they usually disappeared into cyberspace. I am not going to give these people my number. I am the type of person that needs to build more of relationship first. That is just the way I roll. For the most part it has been a frustrating experience.
And then there was Gil. Me and Gil started out talking in the same ways as the aforementioned losers. I sent him a message and he responded with thoughtful questions and patience. That pattern repeated between us for awhile. Then it got to the point where the site had become so irritating to me that I couldn’t bother to get on, not even for gil. So we exchanged MSN addressed and have talked pretty regularly on that for just about a month now. We say a little something to one another almost everyday. It is not always severely profound but Gil always seems to make me feel a little bit better about what I am doing, and I enjoy the stories he tells about his grandmother.
A little about Gil:
- He is from my hometown, which is awesome because it puts him both close and far away from me at the same time. It is a very comfortable distance for my first dating anything ever.
- He lives with and takes care of his grandmother. Which I think pushes him way above the normal sweetness level.
- He helps run a freaking awesome podcast. It is legit. It is about gaming and most of the time I don’t know what they are talking about but I am very impressed.
- He is an excellent writer. he is always sending me links to his articles and they are well written and legit.
- When I tell him his stuff is awesome he responds with cartoon and comic that are cute and funny. He is modest.
- We both don't like scary stuff or spicy food.
Anyway, we have agreed to a skype thing in the the near future and that is very exciting. I am going to stop talking about Gil now. I did ask Gil if it was okay to talk about him so I don't wanna make this too awkward for him to read.
That’s all I got people. I think that I and going to try and paint something so look out for that. ^_^ Till next time.
