Something I got into a discussion with someone about, so I’m sort of throwing it out there: Do you think that the “teenage heroine” in young adult fiction and young adult fantasy is a sexist idea? Or a sexless ideal? Or what? Why is she such a ubiquitous device?
I think it depends on how she’s written. I’ve seen some that use a heroine just to say, “See, girls can be kickass, too!”...

I just would like to say to my followers, 18 and over, and residing here in the United States:

Vote in this years elections. Just do it. People constantly say America is run by old white men. Well, that’s who mostly votes. Older American’s vote more, and they have more conservative views.
So I’m just asking, please take part in this election. Please help put the...
View Separately
It’s really hard for me, being anal about my lines, to get the right feel in digital programs. I draw very lightly, and prefer thin lines, but I also like gradating line weights. It’s difficult to do that in programs without having to press hard if I’m using a thin line setting. And if I’m using very fluid pressure settings, it’s tough getting the stable thin lines I want....

Brave
I liked it. It was good. However, it wasn’t exactly Pixar level good. It has a couple flaws that brought the level of it down considerably, even though overall, it wasn’t bad. It felt like it could have been done by Disney or Dreamworks. It just didn’t have the Pixar quality stamp to it. For one thing, the pacing was rather awkward. The beginning dragged, showing just how frustrated Merida was...
Education
Education is a big, sensitive topic with me. So, if this entry comes off a bit of a rant, I apologize. There’s kids who hate school, and then there’s kids that love school. However, it’s really hard for me to have sympathy for those who hate it. Those who take their free education and other such opportunities for granted piss me off. It angers me when I hear people complain about their school...
Rebecca Black, we don’t hate you because you’re...
You know what I hate? Posts like these. People hating on a 13/14 y/o girl when they don’t even know her. All they know, is that she wrote a song they consider horrible, (even though I’ve seen a couple of people profess it’s quite catchy.) Folks can hate the song, but why hate on the person? Why use such a strong, terrible word on a girl who’s never done them any wrong? There’s even people saying...
Dissatisfaction With Your Art
I’ve written before on how it upsets me to hear artists say they hate their art. Well, let me further clear it up. The way I see it, one can’t suddenly whip out a gorgeous, (subjectively) perfect drawing. It’s a process, between starting and getting to that perfect drawing. And in between that, there’s going to be several flaw filled pictures. It’s logical. So, instead of getting upset that my...
Tangled
I just need to get this off my chest in a somewhat official manner, or else it’ll bother me forever. I hated Tangled. The biggest core problem is that it’s a Disney film. A thief crawls into our heroine’s room, but it’s okay. This being a Disney film, we know nothing is going to happen in terms of serious danger. What about another loveable Disney thief? This isn’t Aladdin. For Aladdin, we knew...
Strong Design Consists of:
- Color: use of complimentary colors, contrasting colors, a monochromatic palette, etc. A good grasp/use of hue, intensity, and value. Take note of color combinations and compositions. - Value: a good grasp/use of lighting, and the lightness and darkness of colors. Turning your image into a gray scale is a good way of seeing this. - Line: going beyond contour lines, varying with thickness, use...
Art Plans
I will finish this list. I will get a timer. I will draw every day, at least 4-8 hours a day. I will draw fanart of the things I like! I will try to actually make some money off of my art. I will improve my art for the artbook. I will finish at least 4 stories this year. (3 months for each) I will learn how to use Sketchup and do backgrounds! I will try to do a webcomic! (for practice!)
Plans for...
