The Artists' Corner discussion

Okay, I'm Jia, and I have lots of stuff to show you guys. :D But, I'll start with a blast from the past, 2007. :O And you guys can compare it to my 2011 stuff.

I have stuff from 2002 as well if you guys want to see. xD

Yay! I edited the first post again. So more stuff for everyone. xD

Why thank you dear Lauren. :D

Hopefully, I've improved a little since then.

Yup, Peau d'Ane is a princess (with a slightly creepy back story) from a French fairy tale and movie. (That I love.)

And I know I've said this a lot, but why, thank you, dear Lauren. xD

Oi, did this for WesterForum. Genderbend.

These are really cool, Jia!

Why, thank you! I appreciate all comments and critiques. :3

I do!

Oi, I'm in a drawing mood. And I only have Latin, BOOM BABY.

Lol, enjoying Latin? Sounds like a very annoying language to learn. ^>^

But notecards are quite fun to draw on. :3

Yeah, it's a bit annoying, but it's helpful, I guess. It's a lot like math. (Which I have a slowly dropping grade in. :|) There are words and paradigms, charts and "equations" of sorts that you have to memorise.

I know, I don't like math either. :| Which explains why I don't like Latin all too much either.

Latin = Charts and Conjugations

Pretty much. xD

Halloween is pretty soon, so I'm scaring you guys with my digital art. Boo.

I doodled a gal named Ada this morning.

Why thank you, dear.

I haven't produced anything worth showing with Graffiti since though. :|

I'm going to destress, stop writing this essay, and Graffiti. :3

Yay. More digital.

I started drawing a dude. Then, I drew a tie. Decided it was gonna be Peeta, made it all fiery. It looked decent, until I did that dang highlighting at the end. Just realised that when I watched it. Oh well. First dude drawn on graffiti.

http://www.sendgraffiti.com/wwv4gm7

Starting drawing Katniss as a companion piece for Peeta. It turned into a Shego-esque super hero person. xD

The way you portray people through their faces and body language is a m a z i n g! (to say the least) I love the cartoony stile. You could be a fashon designer..

Thank you! It means so much, everything means a lot. I'm not really going for a cartoon style, but then again, I'm not going for any style in particular. Anyway, new little graffiti doodle thing. Someone told me that on the radio they're starting to play Christmas music. O_O So, that's where this came from. Those powder puff ear muffs. I want some. D: Anyway, so I did a little experiment. I changed my wireless mouse to a corded mouse in the middle of the Katniss/Shego thing. Is there a difference in anything?

Again, thanks so much. Graffiti is just something I do when I don't feel like doing homework, and since there's a computer at my desk... Yeah. I've tried Muro and other programs (that have erasers xD), but I always go back to eraserless Graffiti. :3

Same, but I keep going back to it. xD

More.

A momentous occasion! FIRST GUY ON GRAFFITI WOOO


Also, the earmuffs girl? Spectacular!!!! :D I can't even...it's just so awesome. Scarves forever <3

Celebration!

Thanks so much! :D I love scarves too. :3

Yes, it is quite blue. Thanks! :D

So, Graffiti was being a bit mean to me :| So, I tried something new. Hope it doesn't look all that bad.

My goodness, I posted the WIP. Oops. There's the real thing now.

Now, you guys can see my lame attempt at hair.

To me, it just looks off. Something in the shading, I think. The hair and the skin just don't transition as well as I would have liked it to. Not enough definition. D:

You know when you feel that you can't write for your life? This is one of these moments. I can't even think straight. :|

I love the face, but yeah I think the hair looks a bit off... I think it's because you combined a realistic face with cartoony hair. The colors are also pretty contrasting, so that could be it too... :I
But it is beauteous as always. :D

Yeah, I should have spent more time on the hair, make it more realistic, but what's done is done.

Now, I am a very unhappy child. I spent the last forty minutes working on a Graffiti with a background and funky pose and whatnot. And then, something weird happened to my computer and my graffiti tab was gone. I thought "Oh, it saves for you automatically, and then you go back, and yay!" because that's what usually happens. BUT NOOO, I only have the outline of my graffiti now. SHOOT. I was almost done too. :| Dang technology.

Guess whose mother is making her sleep now. So, here is my unfinished thing. I explain it's horridness up there. So goodnight. Hey, at least I used more than three colours.

Thanks. I like watching it and seeing at the revisions I did to the eyes and such at the beginning. At first it was a fanart of Prim from the Hunger Games. Then, most of that got deleted with the crash of the tab. :| So, it so gal. xD

Guess who has no life, but her grandmother's computer and Graffiti?

There. I felt like Graffiting. I drew a bunch of stuff, but the scanner is not functioning. :| So, deal with this graffiti that is just...

http://www.sendgraffiti.com/w42dq84

Last night, I had no life. So, I ate fortune cookies and drew this. So, here, the girls of the (74th) Games. (sans Katniss and ladies I forgot. :|)

Sorry for the lightness of Glimmer, it was the darkest I could go without making the others way too dark. Remind me next time, JIA DON'T SKETCH IN COLOURED PENCIL UNLESS YOU'RE GONNA INK IT OR SOMETHING.

Okie, maybe I'm a tad bit obsessed with Leviathan. A tad. A squick. Just a lil' bit. So, I started doodling the boffin this morning. Don't know Leviathan? Then, she's just a cool lady in a bowler hat. ;)

Thanks! :D And yes, that is Primrose. :3

Did some stuff for Westerforum a few days ago. I felt like colouring digital later that day. All the while, I was feeling all yucky and sick. Still do. :|

http://www.flickr.com/photos/60793507...

Thanks so much! I hope I get better as well. :|

Yup, he's totally adorkable.

Don't we all? And because of my sucky yucky sickness, my art has been dropping in quality. :|

Yep, the 'k' is intentional. He's a character from Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan Trilogy, so I wrote it as it was in the book.

I swear all I draw now is fanart. And pretty dresses that I would never ever wear, but are so dang fun to draw.

I liked it a lot, still have to read the last one, though. :| THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE ♥. Too bad, I couldn't ref any illustrations because I was sick in bed. :P

Dresses are way too fun to draw. That is why my planner is filled with them, along with intricate updos. ♥

I overused the hearts, didn't I? xD

I might scan in parts of my planner someday, it's like my messy little sketchbook that I carry around everywhere.

Well, I'm kinda forced to carry it around everywhere. I'm supposed to use it... but I don't. I kinda just draw in it and memorise all of my assignments.

Same. But you need your planner to travel at my school, so I carry it. And draw in it. xD

Well, I obviously have no life, so I drew Dresses of Doom for the WesterForum.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/60793507...

They're not done. There are more to come. MUA HA HA.

:O So many frills
They are very pretty dresses
