Good evening everyone. My name is Otome Picasso and I am looking to mentor anyone looking to better their skills and knowledge on art. I am attending college in texas to major in the arts and possibly teach in the future

Facts:
-All of my work is done by hand, no digital coloring or anything So I'm afraid i have no skills in that
-I began my sketching and drawing at the beginning of junior high; but it doesn't matter how long you have been drawing b/c practice makes perfect
-my specialty is drawing people and the human figure, so if you are interested in bettering your people-drawing skills, i am the person to ask
-I started drawing anime and am thankful for it striking my interest in the subject of art

If you have any more questions or are interested in my mentoring, simply leave you name, what you would like mentoring in, and i will get back to you as soon as i can

If you are interested in seeing my work, you may look in the art arenas or i will post some of my work soon enough


Thankyou ^-^

***Edit: Due to my college classes, my lessions have some to a stand still for a bit until i free up my time. I apologize for this***

Well Hello there Liam ^-^ I am glad you are interested in my mentoring. I caught you introduction in the other forum and I can understand your linking of your artwork with your writing. I love to do that in one of my roleplaying guilds ^-^ So give me a brief explaination of what you are looking to be helped with? Anything specific, like figures, faces, or are you just looking to better your skills all around?

I'm not really looking for anything in particular, just overall drawing. I draw in a semi-anime style.

Alright I accept you as one of my students.

Here is how this mentoring will go: I will give you lessons through PMing, with instruction and tips, starting with basics. Once every week, you will have small little assignments( but they will just be practices of what you’ve learned) And then you will send me your progress, in which I will give critique on what you have done well, and some things you can work on for the next assignment.

Once you have turned in your assignment, I will send the next lesson.

If something comes up and you are unable to practice and show me you progress, I will be quite lenient about it, (seeing that school is about to start up). There is no need to rush,; these assignments are not dead lines, just progress reports. Plus, Everyone works at their own pace.

I'll send you your first PM on Tuesday or so (cause Monday is my b-day)

I'm glad your interested, Leetia! And i will teach you all i have in my knowledge ^--^ In case you haven't scanned across the previous posts, my lessons are sent through PM and you send an assignment (or sketching of your practicing of the lessons) and send them to me for a critique. Tmewise, you work at your own pace; once you've sent your assignment, i begin the next lesson.
