@christieaton I think I pretty much agree with what most everyone else thinks. The biggest thing I think is if all the guild members were more participating of the discussions and events. I should say that this is true for me, too, because I haven’t been very active either.

My art/story goals for the week are
1. Figure out color palettes for Oswald, Elinore, and Jake
2. work on the writing- specifically, trying to figure out what happens
at the midpoint/all the inbetweens
3.  start brainstorming a character design for ( a currently nameless character)
4. lots of landscape studies
I better stop there, if I want to…[Read more]

@christieaton YAY!! *Confetties and sprinkles fall from the sky*

@christieaton Yay!! We survived!

@christieaton That’s great! I’m really excited for you! ^-^

@christieaton *gasp* Really?? That’s so cool!! I wish I could start mine, but I still don’t completely know where I’m going. Do you have an outline, or are you going to discovery write/draw it?

@christieaton, I’ve actually never done Inktober, including this year. This month has been pretty busy for us, but I still enjoyed seeing everyone else’s art. Maybe next year. 🙂

@the-fledgling-artist, what about three times a year? Cool, How long do you think it will take you all to recover?

@christieaton *curtsies* My pleasure. 😉

@christieaton Yay!

@sageinthemeadow Congratulations on finishing your sketchbook! That’s always so exciting! ^-^ How long does it typically take you to fill one?

@christieaton haha, are you starting to feel a little homesick for digital art?

Are we going to forum badges like some of the other guilds have? @christieaton Just curious! ^-^

@christieaton

Hmm… I think having a challenge, or prompt now and then would be fun/helpful, and we could all get feedback on our work. Or maybe having some practice exercises, targeting specific areas.

Other than that, I second everything @the-fledgling-artist !

@christieaton Wow! I really love the atmosphere!

Inktober is completely consuming me right now…But just before it started, I finished a sketchbook completely! And I’m pretty happy with how the final page came out.

@the-fledgling-artist You can do it!!

@christieaton Yours look great! I can’t wait to finish! haha

@christieaton That’s a great question! One that requires a little more thought then I can manage right now. Will get back to you with my thoughts soon.

.. I hope everyone else shares their thoughts because I’m really curious of what everyone else thinks!

@christieaton Thank you so much. I think I needed to hear that. All of it. I just know I would feel so guilty for all the time I spend drawing, if that’s not even the future he wants for me.

But I’ve been thinking a lot about the fact that God doesn’t actually need anything from me, or anyone. Hes God. All he really wants from me is my heart.…[Read more]

@christieaton @sageinthemeadow You guys are amazing! I am a few days behind, and I don’t think I;ll be able to get today’s done, but I’m going to try and catch up tomorrow! (I have a lot to show you guys, but I am unable to take photos right now.)

Yay! Keep going guys!

Thank you guys, @the-fledgling-artist, @moonink, @christieaton, @writerforever! 🙂

All your ideas will help a lot! I’ll definitely keep praying about it and be busy doing sketches. (I hadn’t thought about doing thumbnail sketches. *smacks forehead* Thanks for the reminder!) 🙂

I could really use some prayers guys.

I can remember specific instances in my life where it felt like God wanted me to pursue art. It just felt right and I thought this was how God wanted me to serve him. And then, specific instances of going through doubts. Thoughts like, is this really what God wants for me? What if I’m just being selfish? Wh…[Read more]
