Description Since it's first day of the month I've decided to post my own Meet the Artist meme submission. Been working on it all week because even usually I see digital artists', and I wanted to get the best quality I could offer. I even used the super nice pens I got for Christmas five years ago for the first time. I haven't inked a picture in ages, but I used techniques for shading and a careful hand for outlines. I also tried to make my words legible, but I have small handwriting sometimes, so I'll make a transcript soon for all the little notes if necessary.

Almost couldn't pick a color for my shirt, but chose brown over purple because even though I wear purple the most, I really like how I look in brown.

Mini-notes, clockwise starting at top (in case you can't read my small print):
*don't often wear all three pairs [of] earrings
*haircut finally back to "normal" after a haircut that ended up a bit too short
*same $10 watch style since very first job - replace[d] every few years because it dies
*boot-cut jeans that fit at the waist, but seldom look better than baggy around the knees
*rings that I hope will fit again someday
*twenty-somethingth art book in my collection
*string of beads connecting zipper to loop on the pencil bag
*size 10 (very few shoes because not many to choose from [at stores])
*usually matching white socks, but sometimes coordinated mismatch socks
*often wear earth tones or muted colors, rather than bright colors
*almost always smiling

Hehe, nice to meet you! (I like your style btw, the crosshatch shading you do is really nice!) ^^

Nice to meet you, too! I read your intro. I like Disney, too! Did you like the new Beauty and the Beast movie? :3

(Your style is a lot better quality in anime-style than mine ever was. I developed more toward realism before I liked how my drawings looked... and even then some of them just frustrate me, but usually I'm satisfied with what I've drawn. ^_^)

I LOVED it ^^ It was awesome!

Thank you, I'm still learning though! I can't do really cartoon style, I try to take from realism and I'm hoping taking a drawing class will help with that! I've had trouble with my drawings before too, I think having fun with it is a big part of liking them!

I didn't expect it to be so similar to the cartoon, but I like it a lot! The songs are so wonderful, and the extra story bits are very nice.

I never had an official art class that taught me to draw - just my sisters giving me tips when I was growing up, using books from the library, and developing a sense of proportions. Definitely having fun is the best part.

That shouldn't stop you. The point isn't just your self portrait. The emphasis is really on all the things about you.

For a drawing in paint, using an uncooperative mouse, I'd say you did a decent job. X)
