Tutorial: Anime Face

So if you've ever read any of my friends blogs (Audrey, Lyndsey, Courtney) they all have posts about art. I mean, I did one earlier, but I'm gonna do another one cuz I feel like it. Deal with it.

Anyway, so I love to draw. I draw whenever I get bored, and most of the time, my art winds up on my wall. One thing that I particularly enjoy drawing is anime/manga. So I suppose I'll do a short tutorial on how I do my art.

So here we go I guess...

First you start by drawing a circle. This will help with the basic head shape. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Next you draw the jaw. Erase the bottom of the circle too. This is your head shape.

Third you draw the outline of the eyes. You can choose whatever shape you want, I just went with a classic one that you see in many anime and manga.

After you outline the eyes, add detail to them. 

Finish the face by adding the mouth, nose, and blush.

Once you finish the face, you can draw the hair, choose any style you like, I prefer long hair with bangs.

Finally, you can add the neck and shoulders, add a few details you forgot, and you're finished!

So that's my process of drawing a face. If you decide to draw this, it might not turn out the best, my old drawings weren't that great either. You'll get better with practice though! This drawings wasn't one of my best considering it was done in ten minutes while watching TV. My other drawings are pretty good though. So have fun drawing, and draw away!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day can be very sad for some people. For me though, it was very fun. I was able to hang out with my boyfriend and we had a lot of fun. First we went up to Main Street and we went roller blading. We grabbed the rollerblades that he keeps in his trunk (I don't know why) and we went to the city park and we rollerbladed around for a bit. After that we went down to Redstone and got burgers at Five Guys. Five Guys is an amazing burger joint. It's great and I totally recommend it.

So after all that fun stuff, we went to the movies. We went and saw the new Lego Movie. Now let me tell you a thing. I was not expecting the movie to end how it did at all. I won't give away the ending, but I will say you should totally see it. Somehow they managed to get me to ship lego characters together.

Shipping basically means I take two people (or anything really) in put them together in a relationship and I love it. It's weird. I know, but somehow a movie made me ship legos together. It's so odd. It was a really good movie though.

The boyfriending figure also managed to get me a purple stuffed bear. He doesn't have a name yet. I hope that you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day though, even if you spent it alone on Netflix with self-bought chocolate. I would totally do that if I didn't have a boyfriend. So yes. And I love all of you if you read my blog :3.

A poem:

Hella cute,
Hella fine,
Be my Hella Valentine?

This be my new bear :3

Writer's Block

So I have this horrible disease. It's pretty common, and hard to get over. Eventually though, you can beat it. Not very easily though. This disease? It's called Writer's Block. You know what I'm talking about now don't you? Ya. Well I have Writer's Block and it's killing me. My brain is on pause pretty much.

What do I write about?

I had an idea, but I lost it. Then my english teacher told me to write about those big, hipster glasses. I tried. I got three sentences before I gave up. I even have writer's block writing this. I have no idea what to blog about. I mean, I have an awesome idea to start a story, but no the proper development yet. I would totally write it right here, right now, except for the fact that it's not properly developed. Goddammit. I need an idea! 

... Have you ever had writer's block? Cuz let me tell you, this is not fun. I feel like a literal wall has been built between my brain and my imagination. It is literally giving me a headache. Writer's Block is literally just you sitting there in front of what ever you're writing on with a blank stupid look on your face. You probably look really stupid to everyone else. 

There are many cures for writer's block, not many of them helpful, unfortunately. It's kind of terrible. They give you many ideas for different stories and yet, you can't seem to write those down either. It's like the words are stuck on the tip of your pen and won't come out no matter what you do. This, my dear readers, is why Writer's Block is a terrible disease.
