Milliways: now offering free art lessons!

[minkhollow]

So. There's this whole Thom learning how to draw plot. Jane, being a fairly talented artist herself, can't help but get involved, and wants to start giving him tips since he's obviously new at this.
Problem: I'm a writer, not an artist. MOM'S the artist. She's out of town, would be asleep now anyway, and prolly wouldn't understand why I was asking her all this stuff when I wasn't making one of my side attempts at drawing.
Fortunately, Thom's RPer IS an artist. So she's been fact-checking and otherwise giving me advice so I don't post the wrong thing. ::is really, really glad she finally broke down and got YM::
I'm better at color theory, I swear. It's the actual drawing wot gets me down...

Now I feel so pressured. I'm totally going to get it all wrong. I've never taught myself proportion before.
WOE.

*cracks up*

You people are so odd.

*hugs you both*

Also?

YM?

*cries*

[minkhollow]

None of this panicking stuff. You'll do fine.
And anyway, it's fun. XD

::hugs back:: Odd by necessity, in this case, but odd nonetheless. (Me, I wouldn't have it any other way.)

...I have to teach Thom how to draw.

This fact is just now sinking in.

Oh, bugger.

If anyone else asks Sario for drawing lessons, I'm going to go insane. He's the good teacher, not me. Give me Word everytime.

So, in summery, I feel your pain. Cause I caused it. *pats*

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

And so do I! I mean, I know I just caught you on the weekend and did lovely Skazz/Andre...but my point still stands. *clings*

[minkhollow]

Ah, we are both such geniuses. XD
Like I said - I can at least do color theory. That's EASY.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

...I can teach you to teach me to draw also? oO;

Or, or, give him a book! He likes those!

[minkhollow]

::KABOOM::
Dee Dee, get out of my laboratory!

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

La la la la la! ::dances through laboratory, burns it TO THE GROUND::

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

My only hope is to study the Golden Key again and copy out all the teaching things in that. Which...assume that the person can draw, and draw well.

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

Sario has no books! Wait, no, I lie....he has his 'magic book', but he isn't giving Thom THAT.

Actually, he might. Because Thom couldn't read it.
