Making art and coffee

Following Jake Parker's incentive to better his art through Inktober, I'll be focusing on the same concept. I started a bit late on my Inktober challenge, finishing my first daily work yesterday (though I hadn't posted it here to DA). However, today I've decided that I'm going to structure my Inktober to work on the weak points in my own art and to push against my own artistic insecurities.

Sadly, I've come to realize that my own self consciousness has affected my passion for drawing. I've gotten to the point where I find myself unwilling to draw, even though the urge to create something is there. So, my Inktober is going to focus on breaking through that barrier I've ended up subconsciously creating for myself by making art everyday.

That being said, I'll be making and following a schedule to help direct my art and foster good art making habits. Below is my schedule, with some notes to myself :):

Inktober Challenge Schedule

Week One (Oct 2nd → Oct 8th): Warm Ups
-Anything goes!
-Have fun!
-Ease into the challenge.

Week Two (Oct 9th → Oct 15th): Line Stability & Control
-Focus on smooth, clean lines!
-If using a brush pen, focus on mastering line weight.
-Take your time.

Week Three (Oct 16th → Oct 22nd ): Environments and Backgrounds
-Don't be afraid to use references!
-Still Life drawings are a possibility.
-Be patient but diligent. As your weakest asset, drawing better backgrounds will take time.

Week Four (Oct 23rd → Oct 29th ): Incorporating BGs with Characters.
-Remember: Foreground, Mid-ground, Background.
-Don't be afraid to start small, this is all to make yourself a better artist.
-HAVE FUN! This is the most important aspect of making your art!

Final Stretch (Oct 30th → Nov 1st): Bring it together and have some fun!
-Again, anything goes... but it's gotta have a background!
-Even though it's he last few days, don't feel obligated to make something complex.
-Look through all of your work and see how you've improved! Be proud of yourself, you did it!


That should be it~ Starting today, I'll be posting my Inktober artwork here on DA, as well as on my Twitter. Time to blow this challenge out of the water!



:pokeball:Smell ya later!

The Wylde Fire Pokemon Preserve welcomes you!


:iconfiretypeplz::iconpoisontypeplz::icondarktypeplz:
As you enter the preserve, a young woman with light brown hair and red, rectangular spectacles greets you. "Hello, welcome to the Preserve." She seemed a little awkward and maybe a little shy, though her voice was soft and cordial. Approaching you, she smiles and leads you on a tour of the preserve, taking you to the Everblaze Badlands last so more time could be spent there. It was obvious that she oversaw this portion of the preserve as she seemed much more excited and knowledgeable of the pokemon that presided there.

Breeding

I am always open to breeding my pokemon. Just ask and I'll be willing to comply. Each pokemon's availability is normally mentioned near the bottom of the written portion of the apps. However, I might not keep up with updating it every time I breed, so it's usually a good idea to get into contact with me first. I like splitting clutches, both parties contribute, so I feel both should reap the rewards.

Clutches to Draw:
Damian x Delphi
Planned Clutches:
N/A

Rules:

1. Choose one of your OCs. 
2. Your OC must answer every question as truthfully as possible.
3. Journal title should be "OC Interview". 
4. When you're done, tag as many people as you wish. 
5. Have fun!!!

Featuring:

Eon's Blazing Shaman,Torch




1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?

Torch: "Satobi Juuloo... And... if you mean my tribal name... it's Torch Wind."

2. Interesting... what's your current age?

Torch: "I'm 20 seasons."

3. Uh-huh. What's your favorite food?

Torch: "Berries. I really like Chesto berries."

4. And your favorite drink?

Torch: "My mother's berry juice. She likes to blend a lot of berries together."

5. Confession time! Who's your crush/lover?

Torch: "I'm a Shaman...." He glances away, happy that his mask hides his face. "I am not suppose to have such feelings."

6. Aww! Have you kissed yet?

Torch: "No! Such things are frowned upon for Shamans!"

7. Classic question! What's your favorite colour?

Torch: "Red... or orange. It is the color of the rising and the setting of the sun."

8. Who's your favorite author?

Torch: "...Author...? What is that...?"

9. Now what's your biggest fear?

Torch: "...Loosing the tribe... Seeing the destruction of the land... Seeing our land... become like the land of the outsiders..."

10. *stifles a giggle* I'm not laughing... *bursts out laughing* Sorry. Any siblings?

Torch: "No. I am the only child my mother and father had."

11. Almost done, it's only twenty questions. Who's your hero?

Torch: "Hm... My father. Even though he's no longer a shaman, I still look up to him. He taught me everything I know and If I need advice, I go to him."

12. Okay, who's your worst enemy?

Torch: "As a Shaman, it is my duty to love everyone as Lord Arceus does. It is not right for me to hate anyone. Though, I do not care for the foul attitude of Firey, but it is not my place to dislike him for who he is."

13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?

Torch: ".... What? Umn... Talk? Father is very caring of the tribe and it's people."

14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?

Torch: "I meet the gods every day in visions... Though that hasn't been happening a lot lately."

15. Okay, I'll contact them right now. Done! Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Torch: "... I'm happy being a Shaman. Though... I do wish father would have stayed the tribe shaman a bit longer so I could learn more from him... At times... I feel that I am not skilled enough..."

16. What's your worst nightmare?

Torch: "Catching the tribe on fire with my flames and embers... I already burnt down my parent's house once..."

17.What's your life-long dream?

Torch: "It isn't right for a shaman to have selfish 'dreams'... But... It would be very nice to be the best shaman Eon has ever seen...."

18.What would you do if your life-long dream came true?

Torch: "I... I'm not sure... I'm not even supposed to have a dream like that... But I would hope that I would do the best for my tribe..."

19. Okay, where's your favorite place to relax?

Torch: "I like to make the trip up to Mt. Rumble's peak. It is quiet, warm and secluded. Not many tribes people make the journey there."

20. Last question! Where do you spend most of your time?

Torch: "I like to stay around the tribe... Though I tend to go to Oliver's garden to replenish my herbs... and... to visit. If I'm not there... I am out in the forest looking for herbs and berries of my own and speaking with the spirits."

21. We're done! Now tag whoever you want.

Nope~ Cus. I don't roll that way. |D

Summer Time!

So~

I opted out of summer classes this year because they aren't fun and I needed a break. :U What this means is.... I'll have a lot more time for my lovely DA peeps and the groups I adore until August or so.

That also means I'll have more time for art and a few other odds and ends I wanted to do. So, I'll make a little list here so I'll remember all of the art I want to get done, at least for this week~

And now that I'm home and rested from going to Animazement, I'm ready and inspired to art!

Cheshie's To Do list:
    -Update Apps-

Hmn. Can't think of anything else at the moment... so, that's it for now~

Just a little update for everyone.
