Shampoo's posts

My weekend was filled with sleeping all day and helping my Mom can Dandelions and blackberries.

I do not have a lot of memories of my teachers; not until I went to college. I had wonderfully nice and kind teachers who wanted to encourage me and help however they could in my photography classes.

My first film/dark room teacher gave me tips on how to get deep intense photos from the machine.

Another one was of my alt. photo class teacher who offered me his blackberries when I forgot my food for the day and I had no money to buy food. That day I found out I really liked blackberries.

@Lufi: I gotta get my butt in gear to do it!! I always just talk or think about it.

Aww sweet! Thankies!

@MoodyBats: I need to get back into digital! //shakes// I like to do more gesture or sketchy chibi/cute drawings.
Tell me about it! ;;-;; I thought my old was big!

I know what you mean or even what to use for a sketch brush and then coloring brush ;; I think a thin soft brush might be good to get the first ideas down but then for lines go in with a sharp brush? But I feel like I know all of these tips but they all go out of my head once I am at my desk, pen in my hand and getting down to actually picking the brush.
I have too many brushes already and I had to make a cheat sheet for myself

HUGS!!!! I hate that! I get bugged or the dogs are always pushed to me when they are behaving badly so I feel so cheesed off.
I stay up late and its when everyone even the dogs are asleep. However I never do anything other than watch videos or write a bit;;;;

@MoodyBats: Studying? Same here with trying to study on things I am weak at.
Are you working in traditional or digital? I know the mean on the digital brushes; I have too many brushes and was just looking at more brushes and then I never know which one to use in > A<

I have the same program it seems;; My hand begins to hurt after I draw something 'seriously' and it takes a while for it to feel better.

Do you have the same issue or it more with patience or time to/wanting to sit down and draw?
*the struggles*

@Boss Rimi: I did! I was going to try and make my avi actually look like the character but I am not sure if I did it right > x <
Thankies!!! I might put it back to normal or the usual outfits I do?

I know how that can be or at least when life pulls you away from other things.
I've been having a block to everything and my brain is cloudy but slowly getting to do a few doodles some day.
So I decided to watch other people draw or plan to get some ideas.

@Unicorn: Sounds like a very busy but exciting weekend!! > w <
I have been doing well. I am watching a few tutorial videos for a die-cut machine called silhouette cameo 3//
I've been wanting to get one for a while but trying to design a few things to make into stickers.

So I am in-between ideas. 0 x 0;; Trying to fight against self insecurities > X<

@MoodyBats

I am in the same boat. Having a stressful time with trying to draw at least everyone >//<;;

I've been iPhone since the first iPhone came out and I have used the older androids and have tried the newer ones, my cousin and friends are in the android samsung camp and I find them harder to navigate through. I find iPhone easier to navigate around or shop the app store.
Just one click and put in the pw and thats it; your ready to use the app.

I know the android can be customized and hook up it to your computer like a hard drive but I find downloading the photos from my iPhone pretty easy. However I think either one has its own quirks and things wrong with them but i think if you dont mind those i think it is up to you what you want from your phone.

Iphone for app games, quick phone and text. pretty good camera i think so far?

android has a darker layout and seems to click on more to get somewhere; but you can hack it and mod it a bit more.

@Lufi: I am glad to see you here and also that would be awesome!!
I wanted to make an art shop as well 0 o 0;;

What item is that rainbow??

@MoodyBats: Thank you! I need to save up for it! 0 w 0
How are you tonight?


@Unicorn: Evening! How are you doing?

@MoodyBats: I love your avi! What is the item called with the ears?

@Lufi: Welcome to Voltras! I remember your tarot shop!

@Valefor: I thought I started to reply to this but I think my closed the tab >x<;;
Again I am late to replying to this. However it goes along with what we are talking about XD;;

Life and things getting in the way or pulling you away from things like avi sites.
Very true but I hope maybe in later years people will get back to avi sites or they will be a trend again when everyone gets tired of twitter/snapchat/tik tok.
It is always changing and moving I think; the trends at least.
I dont wanna grow out of it ////ARGHH!!! < in a silly voice)

Awesome!! Eep > w < I will try!! Last three days I got really bad at going to bed on a routine and stayed up until 7am....eeps.
Never good at all and it took me 4 days to get back to some kind of normal bedtime. Or at least before 3am bedtime.
I love the cute face! The Kaoemoji? I forgot what the japanese term is for those faces!!

No....this past week I stayed at the home a lot and watched the dogs a lot or watched tv. Or just sleeping all day. Felt like doing nothing but on friday I got to go out with friends and family for thrifting. But I should make a day where I go out by myself for a bit. I am always with my parents or my mom going somewhere. I miss driving as well because either of them drive. S_S ;;

The Gem and Jewelry show was a lot of fun!! I found a lot of things to buy and picked out something for my friend's bday!
I am going to make her a mala.

Agreed. Sad but if they are not focusing on it like they want to or should then it needs to close until they can and I know keeping up a site like that for fun can be very pricey? Me too! Got me to through high school pretty good. Kept me sane too.

How was your week? I love your yin/yang avi!! 9 o9 So eerie cool!

@Boss Rimi: I love the avi!!! The colors are so much jam!! * w *
We can be away long time friends! XD;; That sounded silly.
How have you've been??
