It’s funny how I feel so guilty for not blogging here when in fact, it has only been a week since my last post!  Although now that I think about it, that does seem like a long time compared to the pace of other bloggers But oh well! To each their own, I guess.

Anyhoot, I’m here to announce the addition of my new blog! My new sketch blog, to be precise. click click click:

It’s actually not very new since I opened it at the end of July; I just never really told anyone about it . By starting a sketch blog, I’m hoping to get more use out of my neglected sketchbook and post rough sketches that I’m much too lazy to put in my DeviantArt account. I also think that it’s going to be fun looking back on my old doodles and seeing what was on my mind during those moments. It’ll be interesting to see if I improve!

I decided to use Wordpress to run the sketch blog so that in addition to encouraging myself to draw more, I can finally learn how to work the blogging tool everyone’s been raving about. Now that’s what I call a win-win situation . I’m certainly not as diligent with ‘daily drawing’ as Chris Piascik is, but it’s a start. Oh, and I should make a custom Wordpress theme for the place… anyone know of any good tutorials?

P.S: The ‘content’ section of the site is opened! I added a new tutorial. Next up: a .htaccess tutorial.

That is a really cool idea and your sketches look awesome!  It’s great to share your creativity and it may even keep you inspired and motivated which would be very cool. 

You left a comment on my blog asking about ‘Harry, A History’ that I am currently reading. I was a bit skeptical before I started reading if I would actually like this or not. But when I started it was like stepping back into a world that was once so familiar and like someone else sharing my own feelings to events that happened (because I owned a Harry Potter site too, but nothing in the size compared to Leaky, and mine was a RP rather then a news site). It’s great and if you want to read it, I say go for it!

Wow, a sketch blog. Good idea. I went there and your sketches are really nice! Mines always turn out gross. Too bad my new schedule don’t have Draw w/ Ease and Cartooning anymore (replaced it w/ Philosophy). I’ll always draw cartoonish until I can take a proper drawing class. I hate my ‘cartoon’ drawings. I want to learn how to draw ‘real life’ stuff, like people for example.

There are lots of WP tutorials, you just have to find them through Google or another search engine. I learned from looking at WP templates. If you have Photoshop CS3/CS4, you check this site out: http://www.divine-project.com/

The sketch blog’s such a nice idea. I admire your talent in being artistic in all. I don’t have that But at least what’s important is you just keep going and just keep practicing, okay? Looking forward to seeing more of your sketches in the future!

HAHA xD I wish! Anyway, when I had her I got some A’s and nothing else.. Though she’s very professional so it isn’t because of her being nice ^_^ She gave some people really bad grades since.. yeah, go figure, they were bad essays..

We can add them on facebook or have their number if they’d like us to do it Some teacher don’t mind but some do. The things on that part isn’t that strict here in Denmark We’re 18 and above so that kind of makes us more responsible than giving it to a let’s say 12-year-old ^_^ right?

Thanks!
