I know how to swim, how i got the fear. I got caught in a rip current when I was 11 and almost didn't get back to shore. I was throwing up for hours when i did.

Alpha has his Scuba license and my parents basically stated that they would pay for us to go on a dive or two next summer (100 bucks a pop per person not including the rental gear or air tanks)

Hi there, Addy~~♪
How are you doing today?

[Addy]

Tiva - oh man. ;_; !! I'm glad you made it out okay though.


Arikana - I'm doing pretty good! At a friend's, we're going to just chill in front of fans today and I might get some more drawing practice in. :T I have been slacking on that front.

[Tiva]

Yeah it was a while back but being in the ocean still gives me jitters at time.

*peeks head over shoulder* what ya gonna draw?

[Cheshiresneer]

I feel like I should draw too...I am sheepy though.

I hate feeling tired at 5:30pm >.<

[Addy]

Tiva - Just doing practice stuff mostly. I'll show an example of what I ended up doing last night;

And Cheshire, I know the feeling and I also hate it. X(

[Tiva]

Understand that too Cheshire.

And it works Addy. So you are doing practice for faces? Should be interesting.

[Addy]

Faces, hands, head construction... I just did a bunch of arm and leg stuff, too!

[Tiva]

Nice, I got to work on head and feet I did a lot of hands back in high school and eyes.....

[Addy]

I also need to work on eyes some more. I draw more cartoony usually so I am still trying to find the balance between realism and cartoon without looking totally dumb. :C

[Tiva]

I draw realistic eyes pretty well. I normally stare at people until I get their eye just right.

[Arikana]

Yeah, I have issues drawing eyes...though not as much as my issues with drawing noses. They always somehow manage to distort themselves somehow when I try to draw 'em. D:

[Addy]

Noses are also a huge problem for me. Something I am certainly trying to fix, though.


After filling up a couple of pages, I'm working on torsos again. Mainly hips/upper legs and shoulders. I have a hard time figuring out how the chest connects to the shoulders/upper arms.

[Arikana]

Yeah, getting the arms to look right is also troublesome for me. D:

I need practice. But I know if I were to open a freebie thread to get some practice, I'd be seriously overwhelmed. >.<

[Addy]

Just practice on your own! <3

http://ahrum-stock.deviantart.com/gallery/ <- I'm using this gallery for anatomy studies and whatnot. The poses are GREAT and I am certainly learning a lot. If you really need to, turn him into one of your OCs or something :D?

Oh gawd yeah. Arms, hands, feet, legs, buttocks, ... Basically anything that isn't the head or face I need practice on TT[]TT
