nope me either, but after hearing some of my guy friends saying a male actor was hot, I had to put it down. I'm gonna start making these every week with all the weirdness stuff too

you neither?
it's all good.
so what made you decide to call your strip "Switched 01?"
i used to do strips, too. they're fun, eh? story art is a great source of entertainment. also fun to share in small circles.
Djyturz knows this. we used to do strips together.
i bet she still has mine somewheres, too.
anyways, i'm most always babbling, huh...?

i'd be interested to see where you take this strip.
backgrounds to help set the scene would be a plus.

Yeah backgrounds would help, tho I HATE drawing them with a passion. I decided to call it switch cuz basically I'm gonna be switching the female characteristics and male characteristics. So all the guys are gonna act like girls and all the girls are gonna act like guys. and the main person, Loopie in te orange pants, is really like one of those people who doesn't really care about things that much. And hse's kinda sarcastic...hopefully soon I'll add a picture thats has all the characters and their "nicknames" up, but, yeah. I got in trouble for it in class, cuz my teacher thought I was cheating because I was hsowing people it, and it was on the back of a test...I was really pissed off....bleh,I'm babbling again too

backgrounds are a necessary evil.
you sound like you have an interesting concept there.
and as for the babbling, it's all good.

Yes, babbling is good , and thanks for the concepty thingy, and backgrounds are the epitimy of evil (dunno if I spelt that right)

e-p-i-t-o-m-y.
(now you know...)

yes, backgrounds can be a hassle.
until you really start to study the world around you and make note of how things really appear to the human eye, and not just in your mind.
if you're not lazy like me, and feel the need to better yourself, start to study the truelife effects light, study shadow, study depth, and just shade the heck into everything.
for example, take an ordinary object, preferably something simple, like a softball or an apple, shine i light on it and observe how the light reflects off it, and draw what you see. draw several angles, just to get a feel for a few different perspectives.
when i look down at the keys on the keyboard i see shadows where the keys are raised.
(hooray for Captain Obvious!)
art is tricky businness because you're trying to make a flat piece of paper your window of the world, or anything you wish to represent, for that matter.
the trick is to use darker shades for whatever you want to sink into the background, and at the same time, bring whatever you want to be see as the focal point, forward.
the trick for a good work is to create the illusion of depth.
i realize, however, that most of the things i create appear "flat."
so apparently, i still have much work on that to do.
so take this as you will.

hmm, yeah probably should try that. I have so many doddles in my History notebook that are filled with shading stuff, even an electrical outlet (i sit in the front of the class). But they're too small.
