Froli I do not recongize this how-to-draw artist, but it's clear this person has ripped him. There's so many 'how to draw manga' books out there, some of them extremely bad.

imo it hardly matters sense those guys make a killing off of mediocre lessons, i cheer on anyone who cuts into such bullshit profit schemes, although i wish they would let people know that the lessons themselves are way below par.  Even burne hogarth and his garishly overrended + oversimplified superman "anatomy" lessons are miles ahead of that crap....

Rate these paintings my 12 year old sister did
She's 13 now, but 12 when she did them.

does anyone recognize any of the first 3?
if this girl is really painting like that, and then drawing things like the second two, someone really needs to stop her before she ruins her talent.

The 2 landscape ones look like she been watching Bob Ross.

what i hear there is "these are 3 paintings my sister did, she's talented for her age.  Next, here are 2 of my shitty drawings"

first'n definitely smacks of the ross-man, but i'd believe them all as the work of a talented freshman girl.

Hello everyone old and new! Wow, has this little community I've known and loved grown.

I should post more often! Or find time to pixel...

Hey there, SovanJedi! I remember you! You killed in those Animation Challenges Adam Tierney set up on the old Pixelation.
Welcome back.

I still have your disgusting, Final fantasy-esque monster you made. I see you have it on your website, too

Do find some time to pixel. I remember you had a lot of great animating tips.

I found an awesome alphabet today.
It's called the Glagolitic alphabet.
It's the oldest known Slavic alphabet.

It has the letter Yus in it.
