i can walk but i’ve been alone for a very long time. i’m half deaf but i dont really feel like it is a disability. i’m always getting friend-zoned as well, you’re not alone there.

i dont really fit in around humans, i don’t act the way people want me to so i am not acceptable i guess. i have talents, i’m smart and good looking, but i’m just unable to act like other people.

piercing your tongue hurts alot. i used to have a mouth piercing. they arent worth the hassle, if you’re anything like me then you will not be able to stop biting it or playing with it in your mouth, which will make your teeth wear down faster than you would think. i have a dent in some of my front teeth from the lip ring i wouldn’t stop biting. it was just a habit i couldn’t break so i took it out.

college? ramen.

i guess they’re thanking god or something. it’s just a victory thing, some guys dance around, do a backflip or just start running around screaming.

well just relax. its your boyfriend, there shouldn’t be too much pressure. just have fun i guess.

i found this great pic, as an artist i understand learning visually over reading it! ;)

if you really wanna get technical, theres 3 different shadow types…
umbra, which is the darkest area of a shadow where no light is recieved from the source
penumbra, which is the blurry edge of a shadow, only recieving a fraction of the total light
and the antumbra, a faint shadow which only appears with large light sources as opposed to point sources. it is directly in line with the main shadow, but it recieves light because of the size of the light.
the closer the light source, the sharper the shadow will be.

sounds like he doesn’t know what he is looking for. it’s no fault of yours! he’ll work himself out, seems like he is just going through a confused time right now. be there for him if you can!

with shadows just break it down into basic shapes, and always remember where your light source is! sometimes i will draw a small indicator on the page to remind me what direction my light is coming from.

darliannn is right, it’s all about construction when you’re drawing a complex shape like a hand. i found that learning about bones and the skeleton really helped me to know what all the underlying basic proportions were. once you understand the skeleton, move on to muscular anatomy.

here’s a tutorial that can show you some proportions and techniques:

you’re probably attracted to the level of energy they tend to display.

“jackson”, he was asking about basic study, not a bloody federal research grant.

abacus?

i know how youre feeling, trust me… im 28 years old and i’ve been alone for about 5 years now because i decided i needed to be a stronger person before i try to be there for someone again. i need to be able to be there for myself before i can be there for someone else.
but really though, don’t worry about being alone forever. it simply won’t happen. you have to actively try to remain single these days, thanks to the way the media has trained us all to feel like failures if we are single.
