I love drawing fanart, most recently of ATLA and LOK, best shows ever!

Give me a shout, I love making new friends and chatting to new people! I also so do commissions free of charge (if I like the idea of course), so any ideas/requests are very welcome!!

Cheers!

Current Residence: South Africa
Favourite genre of music: Old School Rock
Favourite style of art: Impressionism, comics/manga
Favourite cartoon character: The entire cast of ATLA/LOK, Hatake Kakashi, Monkey D. Luffy, Han Solo

I'm starting a points donation pool, because, why not! I want to share the love :D

You must be logged in to donate.
So I know that I haven't uploaded anything in AGES, I just haven't had any time for drawing. Mainly because I'm distracted by so many awesome things happening in my life right now. I got myself a wonderful boyfriend, and unfortunately for my art, kissing him is A LOT nicer than drawing :P

I also bought Dark Souls on PS3 about 2 weeks ago, and the game is consuming my life!! It's probably the most amazing game I've ever played, and totally addictive! So far I've mainly been using magic, but yesterday I started a new character that is pure melee. I'm having so much fun it should be illegal!!

But I am still slowly chipping away at some art works -still trying out portrait painting, although it is exhausting and takes forever! I've got a holiday coming up, so I think I'll take some time just to draw some avatar fan art again. I guess I'm going through a creative fermentation period, where i'm slowly assimilating all the things I've learnt about drawing and photoshop in the past few months.

More art is on it's way, I just don't know when!

Stop tracing, it's obvious you're doing it. It's easy but it wont get you anywhere, I'm not reporting you for now but go gotta stop.

I don't trace. I use a TON of reference pictures and eye them pretty closely while i'm drawing to make sure I get the postures exactly right. I block out the picture too for better perspective. I'm pretty meticulous with my line art. is there any particular picture where you think I've traced instead of drawn?
