Alright. * u * Do me a favor? Do this meme: influence map yes
Every great artist I know starts off by imitating/learning the styles of their favorite artists from a young age. For example my favorite artists like joodlez had many phases of imitating the styles of several cartoons like shin-chan and futurama and simpsons, and like.. 5 different magical girl animes or something LOL
Since you're just beginning, I feel the same would benefit you. But first we need to figure out which artists influence you the most.
if you were going for realism, you'd copy real things in your environment. Seeing the style you're going for is highly stylized however, I feel that realism would bore you out of your mind and carry your style in a direction you don't want lol. * u * this cool with you?


Hmmm... Sounds good! I do realism at school, mostly, but I suck at drawing humans... That's why I love chibi so much xp
Anywayz... Where should I look for examples? Could *you* be my favorite artist? hehe

And should I use the blocks as a grid or are they there for me to draw something else in each block?


LOL
There has to be some other artists that have influenced your style XD I don't believe you lol
If you read the author's comment, you'll find examples of how to do the meme lol. if you're still confused you can ask me


Ahhh.. eheh I knew that! sweatdrop erhm.. Right.. Anyway! mrgreen
I'mma love this asignment! hehehe

Just one question... Do I have to redraw them, or just get 'em in those blocks as inspiration/the goal?

And another... Sorry.. *blush*
How do I get the pictures into the blocks? Photobucket?


Just copy what other ppl are doing for the meme XD
if you look carefully at what other people did for the meme, they copied and pasted pictures that other artists did and stuck it onto the influence meme yes
Ahhh you don't have a program to do it in like SAI or Photoshop? O v O


SAI and Photoshop can do that? whee sweatdrop


Yes XD

Yes XD


Hmmm... Didn't know that... Oh well, Photobucket is just as good with that anyway... I'm almost done... It seems a bit messy, but they're all there...


I think this does it... [x]

Ps. May I add you?


What's next? biggrin

Hmmm... Let me see.... An artist whose art and technique I admire...
Well, that's easy! That would be you! Hehehe yum_puddi

Edit: If you're getting irritated with me for saying stuff like that, please tell me? It's only that, I thought it would be easier for you to teach someone in your *own* style. And I really do like your art, especially the chibi's and Hermoine with the wand... sweatdrop

Lol. No I'm not getting irritated b/c of that XD
But seriously though, you need to tell me who you really want to draw more like. Learning my style isn't much different from learning someone else's style so it's ok emotion_kirakira

Yes alright emotion_kirakira Now you're going to try to learn to draw in onisuu's style yes........... and mine maybe. Alright.
Compile a list of 5 drawing ideas for you to draw
do it emotion_dealwithit
Also, they don't have to come right from your head
feel free to Google, use dA, use music, magazines, whatever you want
to get ideas for what you want to draw
You are not limited by people and poses
sometimes your ideas will also have objects, backgrounds, etc. etc.
So yeah. List of five things you would feel inspired to draw

At first I thought - Okay! This shouldn't be too hard, just have to copy some sketches.....
Now I'm drowning in failed attempts!!

Hi <: Right now, I don't want a single mentee in particular, so I'm
open to people dropping by and asking me for advice and suggestions.
And you can ask for an assignment if you're completely directionless. whee

----♥ e d u c a t i o n : n/a
----♥ p r o g r a m s : SAI PaintTool
----♥ m e d i u m s : Digital, Ink, Color Pencil

For an idea of my mentoring style:
---- I encourage you to develop your own style by studying the artists who inspire you the most.
---- If you have a work in progress or a completed piece, I can look at it and help you out if you want.

M E N T E ExR E Q U I R E M E N T S ❤
----♥ 1 : You must have a functional scanner for traditional work.
----♥ 2 : You must have a functional tablet and tablet pen for digital work.
----♥ 3 : You go on the computer at least once a week. <:


Hello!
I'm ShiiMesu and I hope you will consider accepting me as one your mentee's.

I had a mentor before, but she was always too busy and didn't have the time to give out assignments ;w;.
So I hope I can participate actively with you.

I am a digital artist; I use a Wacom Pen & Touch and Paint Tool SAI.
I have been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil.

What I really want to achieve with the mentor/mentee system is to learn new skills, and hopefully improve my overall understanding of perspective and anatomy. (And pick up some new techniques too! ;w;b)

Here is my gallery:

I hope I can learn alot from you!

Np; there's no criteria for mentoring from me lol. You get out what you put in ^u ^d

Ohhh~ You do have a lot of influences lmao * A *
This is great; now your next assignment is to answer :
what do you envy about other people's art that you wish you had more of in your art? This question is easier to answer if you pick 1 or 2 favorite artists and look at their art really closely to try and see why you like their art * U *

For example, I love how purplekecleon emphasizes on unified color palettes depending on the atmosphere/mood. * A * So that's what I worked on yesterday; unifying color palette and color scheme.
