I really should be drawing OTHER THINGS.

keykAnd I don't have a scanner so I can't really show anyone. ^^; I remember having such a hard time using stick figures as guidelines. BUT NOW I CAN. WITH BALLS ATTACHED. AND SEMI-CYLINDRICAL THINGS AFTERWARDS. Whooo! Well...they look proportional at least. They're not perfect, and I can only pull off mostly boring poses right now, but it's a start! I...am getting self conscious again though. I like critiques when I can trust who it's coming from. I have more difficulty trusting it if it's from someone who can't pull it off herself.
Maybe it's just me, but having someone look at your unfinished drawing and start critiquing it without my asking is annoying. I only critique when she asks me; I'm one of those sticklers to the preschool day rule: "Treat others the way you want to be treated". I really hate the critique: "It looks weird," and that's it. Ever since my style stopped having wide heads with over-sized brains (which shrunk, finally, thank God) and less bubbly eyes, and further away from my sister's style, my drawings have been called weird. I like my style with it's long heads and noses even if it has that hint of other's styles to it. I like how my eyes reflect personality and look different per character. I took what I liked from other styles and put it together to make one I liked.
She's also calling my stuff weird now because their bones are too big. Well, that guy lived in a rich place, so shouldn't he have more meat and bone? Dusk doesn't live off of much money, so he can be stick-looking. And guidelines let me know where meat and bone should be found...so everyone just looks thicker.
I think it looks better, but my friends beg to differ. : / I'm going to try to trust myself this once and convince myself that this is better. I can do so much more this way.
I SHOULD BE DRAWING MORE CHIBI THINGS FOR AX. DX But I'm so tired after dance classes, I don't have the motivation. My series my be stuck and limited to FFT. I'm really going to try to squeeze in Odin Sphere since I've already started.
Why is this post much longer than it should be? >_>;;;
