Draw something small and quick I said. You'll have self control not to make it into something large I said... Lies. They were all lies.I may have to fix the lighting on this someday...
or at least smooth out a few parts...

The colors on this one didnt want to come out right? At least its digital :I Thats the one thing I hate about traditional coloring- pick up the wrong paint or pencil, oh shi- well this will take forever to fix. Β still havent gotten the hang of fixing watercolors. and for some reason im terrible at dark pictures. they dont want to come out right.
i should really watch more than half of the first episode of sherlock |D seems so good

look at me replying to message today. I hate my markers sometime because of that. The markers are always a lie. They never are what they say they are. :I But watercolors must be a real pain. Too much nitpicking would ruin the paper. You are also the complete opposite of me. I can't do light pictures. Darkness is my friend.
and i got a spoiler and i know you are watching sherlock now.

im so proud ;u; i think i just shed a tear.Β
Well swatch them so they cant lie anymore. I have a little chart of my copic colors so i know what they look like on different types of paper, very handy. Oh god they are. Im just more used to them but sometimes they just hate me like when i was working on the last pic i showed you. I was off my game for who knows why and almost ended up with an unrelated existential crisis but but but i really want to be able to go dark D: i dont know why i cant but i love dark colors and painitngs i just cannot without killing them. andironicallyimscaredofthedarkwtfiswrongwithme.
pffffff i want more but someone wakes up at like 2am to make me go to bed

i like how big a deal this is. but seriously, i've replied to almost 100 messages today. i feel successful.
that is a really good idea... Why have I never done this before? I'll have to try it. I'll need a swatch for after I put water on them too. (here's a minty tip. crayola markers dissolve in water so you can use them for a sort of watercolor look but still have a lot of the control you have with markers. *this has been "Being cheep with Mints"*) I know those days though. Sometimes arting is a lot harder than it should be. :I and your existence is wonderful and it should stay existanceful it is hard to go dark in traditional. hey, maybe digital art will be where your darks shine. go puppy-o, you can master the black belt of something can you tell i'm tired?

lol, dang thats a lot. id probably freak if i had that many messages cause i dont get very many in the first olace.
lol. i do it with everything and just keep them in the back of sketchbooks so i dont have to waste too much paper. (whoa really? thats awesome! i should try that sometime.)it really is. i can tell when im done for cause my hand gets all jittery. and i couldnt get those colors right i was so pissed. and my sketchbook for wtercolors keeps trying to mess up my pencil lineart, so much for keeping a sketchbook. shoot i gotta upload my toned sketches...
its hard to go dark and sheer. i cant figure out sheers after all these years. Β but i really hope so, thatd be wonderful. i wouldnta noticed until you told me actually

yep. this is my 100th message i'll reply to and i think i'm outta here after that.
I was thinking about taping them onto my markers. i have a lot of them and they all have different colour profiles even though they are supposed to be the same fucking colour.. stupid crayola (but yeah. as long as you don't let them dry, you can do some pretty cool things with them.) i lost my sketchbook a whiles ago and i'm sad. i've been using up a lot of scrap paper instead. i'm running out though, so i'll need another one soon. i like sketchbooks though. they keep everything all nice and in time order so i can look back at how crappy my art used to be a month ago. also, post those sketches. you know you want too
dark colors are the best. i like them pared with tastefully, high saturated colors. they look so nice together. buy yeah i'm tired so good nights pups.

D: Congrats
Lol. Thats a good idea. Lucky me my copics have a wallet to keep them safe and sound. Β Crayola is wonderful, but retarted. Ill try it out sometime! Especially since im cheap and will take good inexpensive art supplies any time. oh noes D: thatsno good. i just keep a couple sketchbooks around but i keep my finished works in a folder till im ready to put what i actually like into a portfolio. i cant use srap paper cause id be lost. but i do tend to keep some randomly sized peices cuase i dont want the rest of the ugly drawings on that paper. my sketchbook drawings usually stink actually. i dunno why. so thats part of the reason i dont keep one. and the fact that they often get smudged. my spiral sketchbooks are mostly for full peices and concepting wich eventually get torn out for safekeeping. jeez you can actually say youve improved over the course of a month. i cant tell. i dont even know how to keep a constant style. well i want to but my phone hates photographing them. but ive got a nice iron man sketch i did at disneyland i want to show.
they really are. i gotta practice with them more. alrighty then, goodnight minty.

I'm already over 200 messages again i give up.
My markers are in a shoe box that gets tossed about a lot. I think you've got organizational skills I don't have. But yeah. Crayola is that weird brand that is terrible but somehow works.I lost it off in Chicago too so i'm not getting that sucker back. Course, I lose most of my drawings anyway because i lose the scraps too. i just don't care enough to be upset about that. But spiral notebooks smudge a lot. That's why I don't use them. And I think changing styles are a sign of improvement really. It means you're seeing things in a different light which helps you see previous mistakes. IDK. I was just improving a lot faster when my style was all over the place. do want to see. i know about stupid cameras on phones though.. you will show me later. also I was looking for some quiet dubstep and i kinda liked this thing www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNLabVβ¦

Minty dont give up on your mesages lol. If youre overwhelmed with 200 messages then youre gonna need an assistant xD
I actually do stuff like that alot. I love being organized (probably my disorder there) Β but my messy nature kind of kills it. Most of my things are either under my bed or stuffed into a closet till I pack. oh noes but at least theyre cheap. nuuu dont loose your scraps, keep them somewhere safe during travel :I we must se them eventally. or at least i must. They really do smudge too much but I have to use them, I dont really care for drawing in a bound book cause it feels different I guess. Yeah ggood point there about style changes and improvement. I mean in somplaces im definetly improving and others arent going anywhere. I think for now Ive kinda given up on making a pefectly consistent style (but ill work on that when im doing requests and hopefully comissions) and let my art do what it wants. looks better that way ayways. and ive forgotten how to color traditionally. worked on a commission and my colors killled it. Re did it digitally with no luck.\o/ i shall try my best! the other factor that doesnt help is the lighting in my house sucks for taking pictures of art, and in most rooms. if i can get my iphone 5c myabe thatll help a bit, but of course apple and sprint hate me |D ooh ill check it out soon~

I don't think any assistant could keep up with the random different personalities I get into while talking to some people lmao (It's weird though. Please tell me I'm not alone or something.) But I'm not overwhelmed really. I just feel bad for not being quick about answering. It makes me feel guilty for leaving so many cool people hanging all the time.
I'm a perfectionist when it comes to disorganization. For some reason I hate organized things. They make me feel really uncomfortable. (Which is why under my bed and in my closets are magically the cleanest part of my room.) Though, when I do decide to organize, I make the most complex systems ever. I buy fancy sketchbooks actually. That forces me to care more about it/Makes me more likely to use it so I don't waste it. I mean, there not too bad or anything, but they are higher up the price scale than I could buy. But here's your special puppy privileges in action (aka you complimented my sketches so now i want to throw some at you) sta.sh/0dvmdkn24xd I'll be colouring some and posting it later. Yeah, I can get that. I've never used anything but bound, so I'd probably be disconcerted using something else. But that's pretty much what everyone deals with pups. Certain things are going to grow faster than others. I still can't draw certain things for jack shit even though I work just as hard at trying to improve that as everything else. (Also, pats for poor pups. Arting is evil sometimes. Did you at least save the sketch before trying to colour it?)

Lol, havent heard of that before but I kinda adjust my chatting style depending on who Im talking to. If that counts. Ohh gotcha. I try to answer my messages quickly or when I think of a good way to answer them. Or actually remeber that they are there. But I get maybe two a day so if its more than that im quite suprised.
Thats brilliant. I'm going to regret this but how complex are we talking? If I decide to organize stuff I must have everything in front of me to do it which ends up creating a giant mess but at least its well organized in the end and my parents can never find stuff. Ohhh gotcha. Jeez I use that phrase a lot. I shouldnt be spending the amount I do on art supplies. I dont have that much but I think my brain has stopped caring and let me do what I please. I just feel like I must be perfect in fancy sketchbooks and keep messing up and then that drawing is just kinda stuck there idk. Yaaaay puppy priviledges c: Im in love with your sketches. look at all that variety. I dont even bother with half my sketches cause theyre all pretty much the same things. theyre not even worth showing. but i do want to put up some stuff from figure drawing though. I'm getting more used to this book though. I was able to sketch around at disneyland and six flags so i guess thats going to be sketchbook for on the go. Indeed they will. So for now I suppose I'll just keep on drawing and attemptng to improve and not kill my drawings as best as I can. (It really is. Photoshop sucks for laying down basecolors on lineart and my paint tool sai likes to freeze but its wonderful for that. Oh yeah I have the lineart all saved. Might as well show you sta.sh/025o30wuvoko its a pokemon team comisson for someone on here and i still have to digitize the other one. ive got a couple more peices that are stuck at this stage.) you know those times where your whole room is such a disaster and so much stuff on your bed that you dont even bother and just kinda join it?(please tell me im not the only one) im having one of those evenings. do send help. oh and I LOVE THAT MIX ITS BEAUTY.

This messages keeps growing on us. It'll run off the screen soon.
Guessing I just have an extreme case of that. :U Ah, young deviants. So full of hope and longing; zero messages in the message box. Those were the good old days. but jfc pups you need more love. people should reply to you more.
Most recent thing I did was set up the folder system for my reference pictures. Fanart goes in one folder and then into its fandom's subfolder and then it medium then how it's shaded... and repeat for 10 different categories. That took a long week of organizing. :I (Mostly cause I need everything in one place at the start too. I wanna see everything I'm dealing with up front.) Never realized you said it a lot until you mentioned it.. Tis okay. Everyone has a few things they say a lot. But I wish I could be like that. Spending money's always a big deal for me and I'll feel guilty over buying something for myself for weeks. I want not to care. :/ Yo, yo puppyo... post yo figure drawings so i can post mine. nobuti'llpostmineifyoupostyours. That reminds me, I'll probably be going to disneyworld next month. What is one to do in such a place? Drawing sound like a good plan for lines. (Photoshop is more for editing than anything. It doesn't have the things you'd want for colouring in images and whatnot. SAI's been designed for linework and drawing. And asdjhkl didn't mention how cool the pokemon look so guess I'll say that the pokemon look really cool now.) I like throwing all my clothes on my bed (under the blanket) in winter and then worming my way underneath for added insulation so yeah I know what you mean. (That and I got all sorts of things on my bed at all times. Books, my laptop, my drawing stuff, etc.) I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE THAT MIX. I've been listening to it while doing homework and then I thought "I should show pups this". So I did.

Who knows deviantart may finally just say thats enough and shut it down.
Lol. I don't switch my personality too much, or I cant tell I have no idea. I usually keep two in my inbox cause it gets lonely in there when you have none. well its my own fault for not finishing anything or posting much |D
That doesnt sound much more complicated than what I do. Come to think of it i really should do subfolders for mediums so its easier to find for uploading. Shit my art folder is even color coded. I like to keep my computer organized cause its way to messy if I don't. Normally I dont spend very much. If its money that I actually had to work for I'm cheap as hell. If its just given to me then I'll buy everything. Which is my current situation. Ill post them as soon as I can c: butyespleasedouploadyoursineeedmore. Uh are you going to all the parks? Cause thats all there really is. and stay in a cool hotel. I got to stay at the nick hotel once and it was wonderful i want to go back. Yes do draw in line! Theres always something fun to draw even if its just guests. I remember going to disneyland once with a friend and we just counted all the little girls dressed as princesses cause we were just that bored. igotheretoomuch. (Indeed. Im content with switching programs really. So Ill just figure it out when I do I suppose. And thank youuuu, I havent worked with that style for qute sometime now and glad it still looks nice.) pffffff thats not a bad idea. i ocasionally just use my mess for the same purpose. but normally its just a giant fur blanket. how i love those things. our poor beds. well least im getting a new one soon. probably a loft bed, which is a dumb idea for me cause im not a big fan of heights but i need the space. YOU WERE CORRECT. Very good idea to show it. It does seem good for homework and drawing, i should put it on then

Yeah... I'm trying to practice having characters interact with each other. And it has nothing to do with me hopelessly wanting these two to be together.
