Merry Christmas!

Hello there my fellow readers! This is Crystalheartreader05 here to tell you to have a very merry christmas and a happy new year. Since the elves will be working hard this year, making presents by hand, it gave me inspiration! How about I show you a video on how to draw these hands( not elf hands but I think you will get the point). Since I didn't  have time this year, I will show you a video filmed by another person. Again I don not take credit of this video but someday I will, Hope you enjoy!

                                                                                                                         ~Sayonara!

Expressive feelings

 Do you know when you're feeling mad and don't let anyone be near you or when sadness takes a turn then makes you feel horrible? What you don't notice at times is that you leave a face which shows the emotion you have presently. This current face in what people are viewing is a facial expression. This is one the essential topics of an artist, mangaka, comic artist, illustrator, you name it! My opinion is to always have a reference (photo) or any expressions drawn by another artist; not if he or she did not create it. I didn't create this video and give all the credit to it's creator.

Great advice from a favored artist

"I can't hire an otaku who doesn't have enough experience about life. If you have never seen a fire, how can you draw fire?"  ~Hayao Miyazaki
     
 One of the greatest animators/illustrators who's movies are a part of my childhood and hold deeply in my heart. So I present a quote that is very important for an artist and illustrator alike. A part of this is presenting that, if you've never learned anything yourself about the world or yourself, how do you expect to have success in it? Also that you need to practice in order to have the results you want or need. Thanks for all the people have seen it sop far, may this advice help you in the future.
                                                                                                  Sayonara!(See you later!)

The basics of Mangas and Comics

Hello my fellow artist's and others who wish to be one, Crystalheartreader05 here! I'm here to help and give my own,personal, advice to give you a head-start in learning how to draw. But, do you know what a manga is? These are Japanese comics drawn in black and white and are categorized like basic american comics in the Japanese language ex. :Shonen(action), Shojo(romance), Doujinshi(fan art based on a series), etc. Most of the manga are based on things that occurred in real life and re-imagined in the story of the characters.

 Comics on the other hand have the some of the same elements but drawn and colored with normal colors. But also some of the comics are based on a type of myth or legend. Some of those would be: Thor and Loki, from Marvel. These are categorized in English ex. : sc-fi, fantasy, action and adventure. To me some manga are way less dramatic then the comics in total, for the exception of Shojo. Because in the comics they put too much drama a times and even loses a sense in the plot. Sincerely I don't have such a taste in comics and I prefer manga then comics so I'm sorry if I gave any offense to anyone in my post.

 Well, that's all for today hope my counseling helped some of you understand that manga are not "comics made in japan", as they say in  Japan: "Sayonara!"
