Description
A pencil sketch with abutt load of instagram filters XD. With my new phone, I've installed a new app called Canvas Tutor. It's pretty neat! It gives you daily art challenges to help you improve in many aspects of art :3 This was today's quest: draw a Gi Jinka. I chose a strawberry <3 what do you think?

Aaahh~ I'm not sure what a 'Gi Jinka' is exactly, but this strawberry lass is so pretty!! The anatomy and pose is so strong, and I love how you added in the details like the shape of her ribcage, like she's stretching out herΒ solar plexus (at least that's what my belly dancing exercise videos call that XD). The strawberry costume is very creative, and I love the leaves on the skirt, they look so realistic. Her expression is great, too, she looks like she's in the zone, so confident and serene. Great warm up sketch!!
Haha, I remember when Photobucket installed an edit feature where you could add all kinds of nifty filters, frames, and borders. It's definitely a lotta fun to play with, huh? XD And I hope you continue to let the Canvas Tutor app inspire you to sketch a little every day. Keep it up, Amy-bunny!!

A Gi Jinka is a humanized version of something and I picked a strawberry! I was really into strawberries at this point XD
I like showing the ribcage for dancer-types because I feel you can feel the stretch and the posture with it 
Thank you so much for your kind words! 
Hahahaa... warm up sketch... lol..... it took me a good while to draw all this
Oh? Photobucket did that? Man, I haven't used Photobucket since my Gaiaonline days
Some of the Canvas Tutor app things are really difficult plus their time frame for completing things is totally unrealistic! Especially for beginnings. Like... I think one was like.. "Ink a face" and it's like... "this should take you 30 minutes" and I'm just like... not counting the original sketch I have to draw first to ink it? Even with just that... to ink something well, it would take me more than 30 mins
Thank you for the constant encouragements Jenny Deer! It's really appreciated! Β

Oh, that's such a cute idea! You should do a whole line-up of humanized berry ballet dancers, along that training pole like they do in the studio. XD
Yeah, that's something I always noticed in movies like Black Swan, how skinny and long the dancers' builds are. I'm sure there's a lot of core work involved and all those reaching poses pull the rib cage out. It does actually make your Gi Jinka look more realistic. Hmm, it does have that "nose in the air" attribute, putting the head back like that, which makes it tough to show a nicer expression. The only thing I could think to do is put a huge, open smile on her face, to show she's having fun. But then I could see her instructor rapping her knuckles with a ruler and being all, "Take it seriously!"
Aw girl, don't beat yourself up so bad. I think there's a lot of people that take their warm up drawings seriously and have to think up an idea and poses. The idea stage is what takes me the longest, too, and I can never get a decent sketch the first time. I think they're just about loosening your hand muscles, though, huh? The warm-up sketch?
Photobucket changed in the past couple of years. They now have an online store where you can sell your photographs and artwork as prints (framed, posters, on canvas, and even on metal plates) or products (mugs, pillows, mouse pads, blankets, etc.) and yes, even a whole editing section. They have basics like Photoshop does, plus filters, frames, stickers, text... It's pretty cool! Unfortunately it's still riddled with ads that stall out my PC.
OH! Whoa, Canvas Tutor actually gives you time restrictions? That's brutal. Oh my gosh, staaaahhpp~ You do NOT suck, Amy-bunny! You just like to take your time and put your all into every little drawing you make. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I think you just need to let go sometimes and free your hand. I'd use time restraints and warm-ups as doodle time; instead of focusing on "inking the perfect face", just grab your ink pen and ink any old face!
Absolutely and always! You're always welcome, sweetpea!! It's my pleasure, because I sure as heck don't wanna see you give up on something you're not only passionate about, but you have so much talent and potential and drive for!! Never quit arting!! YOU ROCK, M'DEAR!!!

O0o that does sound like a neat idea 
Right? But I think looks kinda neat that way. I feel like studying ballet poses with sketches. Maybe I'll do that berry ballet dancers ideas while studying different poses :3
Right? She looks so full of herself
The idea stage doesn't take as much time for me. But I get very finicky with details
Whaaat? I had no idea photobucket had changed so much! I honestly used to only use it because the would conveniently add an html link so that I could put up images on Gaia directly in the forums without putting a link up. Kinda like DA's thumbnails but more universal. Pretty cool of them though!
Well it gives a time frame for how long something should take you. I never follow them though cuz I find them ridiculous
Yeah... I really do need to just let go but you and I both know how difficult that can be, right?
Aw man you're just so sweet and uplifting. Thank you so much!
On an unrelated note, if you ever end up writing something that you think I'd be interested in (ex: romance or original works) plz tag me! I'm really bad at going through my piles of watched artworks and such but I always see tags! And also feel free to tag me in ANY new artwork you make because otherwise I only see them when I decide to wander onto your page to see if you've updated
Thank you again for all your words of encouragement

Hey, if you ever feel up to the challenge, using ballet dancers as references and studying their poses and how they move would be interesting! I bet you could learn a lot through their dramatic movements, and even all those elegant hand gestures. (Man, I seriously need to get back into studying art again. I've just been so demotivated, ugh.)
Oh well, I guess there is a fine line between looking like an arrogant crazy villain, and happily having a good time. 
Really? I kinda envy that. I struggle with ideas and mapping out poses, and most of the time I never even get to the detailing stage 'cuz I screw up the rough draft so terribly I chuck the pencil across the room and quit.
Yeah, Photobucket really upped their game in the last few years. That's basically why I originally used them, too. Just to store photos for online use, since they did automatically generate universal HTML codes for you.
Of course! It's always my pleasure, sweetpea!! I'm always here for you!! I sincerely do hope to see you start drawing again, maybe posting your sketches more regularly here on dA. I miss all the Dawesomeness~!!
You say romance and original like it'll ever happen... 
YOU'RE WELCOME~!!

those are such lovely legs and the proportions for the pose is top notch!
And the grass theme for the ballerina outfit is sexy, I like Β the leaves that looks like a skirt.
the hairstyle is quite elegant to with those sinister eyes.

Thank you so much!
I was actually pretty proud of my proportions and that my hands seemed a little better than usual.
I didn't want her to look sinister but I just went along with it because I have no idea how to pull of a down view look while keeping cuteness XD I wanted the hair and face to be round to represent the strawberry well :3
I like the skirt too 
Thank you for your constant support Shai-chan! Β

Yummy delicious strawberry~ I've been eating a lot of berries lately
Aw thank you so much! Well I still have 2 more character drawings to do for the canvas tutor app quests so those will probably be next

You know me dear Mel chan.
Oh fast drawing, in exchange for a less detailed art
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe~ I sure do
Hmm well maybe if I practice gesture drawings a lot then I can do both; draw fast with a good amount of detail.
