Chalice

@slisby, I don’t know. I was just stalking an art forum where they were discussing the subject. Most of them were actually saying that about photo realism. but I agree with you, and don’t think it’s true about either. (I do kinda wonder about the artists who can’t make a drawing a different size than their reference photo.…[Read more]

@red_converse, Hey, Miki! I’m Chalice. Welcome to Story Embers! What kind of stories do you like to write?

@april-j-rhys, Yeah, the main character lives in a tree. That used to be one of my favorite books. 🙂

Yeah, it might help to have someone to brainstorm with and bounce ideas off of. Would you be interested in doing that?

I like contemporary fiction, fantasy, urban fantasy…. I’ll read almost anything, except for horror, like you said. 🙂

Yes,…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys, Heyo! Welcome to Story Embers. I’m glad you’re here!

Three of my siblings went through the One Year Adventure Novel curriculum for school several years ago. I think I was too young to do it then, but I still watched the videos and learned quite a bit. My Dad still quotes the line, “What makes a story a story?” 😆

That sounds…[Read more]

@ericawordsmith, Aw, they’re so cute!! What medium did you use for those?

Oh, yes! It’s such a beautiful song. I especially like Peter Hollen’s cover of it. Awesome drawing! I like how you did the hair. 🙂

Your new profile picture actually reminds me a lot of that picture of Arwen from the LOTR movies…. Did you do that on purpose?

@the-fledgling-artist @lin, thanks!

@evelyn, Aw, thanks! 😀 I actually had to do quite a bit of erasing before I was happy with their faces. XP

@ericawordsmith, Thank you!! Oh, I want to see it! Merry and Pippin are my favorite. 😊

@anne-of-lothlorien, Aw, I like your Anne of Green Gables. 🙂 Oh, wow. The Snicker of Magic one is so good! Did you like that book?

@evelyn, You did an awesome job with the lettering in your Up drawing. I love all the colors too.

@ericawordsmith, Awesome painting of Frodo and Sam! 😀 I’m loving all the art on this thread!

@lin, I love your drawing of Lucy and Aslan. I always like seeing Narnia fan art. 🙂

I don’t do a lot of fan art, but I did a sketch of Pippin and Merry for fun a while ago.

@the-fledgling-artist, I only got 20 done, so far, and that was all in one day. XP You’re not alone, @h-jones. 😊 I think I’m only going to go up to 100 or so, though.

@lin, Your ballerinas look amazing!

Quick question to anyone reading this: Do y’all sketch poses mostly from your head, or from reference?

I did some people playing sports from…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist, Aagh!! I’m so sorry I never responded to this. Life has been crazy lately.😖 The illustrations are going…. well, honestly they haven’t really been going.

I got the fifth one finished and approved, but I’m having a hard time trying to figure out how to get a reference photo for it, since it involves a dog and I don’t really…[Read more]

@ashira, Hey! So glad you’re here! also, *jaw drop* you are so talented! I’m very impressed. (Also, I would really love to see the one of Charlotte whenever you finish it! 🙂 )

@the-fledgling-artist, I’m kinda late here. (Story of my life on SE 😛 ) This is such a great idea! My goal would probably be very low, since I have so many other projects I’m working on, but I would still like to try! Your gesture drawings look great by the way. 🙂

@evelyn, I love your jar drawing! It’s so pretty. I’ve never been able to do the zentangle art that well, so I admire those who can pull it off. 🙂

You’re welcome! I’ve enjoyed seeing everyone’s art on here, and the different styles, and verses people choose. 🙂 Unfortunatley, my life has been super busy lately, so I haven’t been able to do any…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight, Yeah, it’s nice to have a break. 🙂

Thank you!

@writerforever, Thanks!
