if this helps...most professonals, including Koge, don't really consider themselves that and she in particular critiques her work in saying that its never good enough so I would really try to aim higher.

???? okayy..well just so you know that doesn't help. and i didnt ask to be taught a lesson. jeeze. i say you're really talented and ask for help and all i get back is "figure it out yourself." and P.S. i consider Koge a professional. she makes beautiful art.

okay welp I'm sorry. I just really can't give advice, I'm sorry if my response wasn't what you wanted to hear exactly. But in a way you did ask for a lesson. Sorry it wasn't exactly what you wanted but generally speaking all I can say if your trying to draw like Koge is to study her art style. Theres no special tricks or techniques really. All it takes is practice. But if you still don't like that response then I guess my advice is learn how to draw realism first and foremost...get some books, look at online tutorials....etc because you can't draw anime without knowing the functions and posing of the human body. I hope this helps you more.

im not asking for drawing tips! so there are no lessons to be learned! i know how to draw. and i can draw plenty well too. jeeze. im asking for photoshop coloring help and such. you have been no help to me what-so-ever. why do i even try getting kindness from some one else?

raila In reply to Kagome1819 [2010-07-20 18:39:01 +0000 UTC]

you know....if you're going to snap when people offer you ANY tip I can see why you wouldn't get any help. Now if you're just going to keep complaining I would appreciate it if you would move on and ask another artist for advice.

But just a note, I'm pretty sure you'll get even LESS advice than what I gave you. And by the way....while you may be able to hold your own in drawing, you still don't draw bodies all that well. You want a photoshop tutorial there are plenty on dA on coloring anime eyes, hair, celshading, and whatever else your lil heart desires.

lol. do you know when i made this account???
like 5 years ago. and ill let you know ive much improved.
hehe and im only snapping because you're talking to me
like a kid and like i dont know anything so...it kind of makes me mad that you're trying to give me advice i dont need help on. and how was i so rude in the beginning?? i said how wonderful of an artist you were and you shut me down. i guess i will have to ask some one else. sorry i cant be at your caliber.

I'm glad to hear its working for you now. If your interested, ~brokenheart471989 is Shelley's mother, so you should share this with her as well.

I've been in contact with her for a while on FB....
I'm a member of the Shelley Nance Memorial Page both on FB and myspace...
When you get a chance, go read the 2 poems and 2 letters that I wrote in memory of Shelley and leave your thoughts?

hi sorry it took so long to reply. Even after a years time almost its still really difficult to read anything about her. I think what you wrote was touching and Shelley would have loved to hear your words.

TrevorFlyleaf In reply to raila [2010-07-27 03:47:07 +0000 UTC]

it's ok....
thanks for liking my writings....
even when I think about her, tiny bit of tears comes out of my eyes....

Shelley's mom likes the 2 poems and the 2 letters I wrote....She also likes my third letter I wrote.
this is what she said about my third letter:
''thank you for the lovely words. They help the healing process.''

Ever since I heard the story, I'm writing a EP in memory of her and 100% of the sales will go to the Nance family. I record materials on Media Rack (which is a digital version of a tape recorder) and recorded a few audio samples of how the songs go...I can email them to you so you can get the idea of what the EP will sound, and how the lyrics are...
Shelley's mom also likes the audio samples of ''We Cry To You'' and ''Since You're In Heaven''-that I sent to her....

Well thank you for considering me. I've actually been a bit curious about the songs for a while now but actually I think it would only hurt me to hear it now. So thank you but I'd rather not hear the songs, I hope you can understand this.
