Coloring was once a weak thing

Update, for the last posts I have complained how I was looking for a job and it 's taking forever to find one, well I have found one and it did take forever to get hired but the point is I finally have one. I do hope my hubby will be able to find work for I rather be home with my kids and taking care of them. My hubby is doing that now and he doesn't like it, as in being coop up in a home all day, and keeping the house clean, he keeps asking me how I do it for it is hard. 

Anyways I still try to find time to draw for that's something I still want to do, I am at the last chapter for my book and on page 139, I am getting so close but for me to do the last chapter seems it takes longer, I don't know if it's because I work now or because I am also working on another story. 

It's a story by my friend and I have gotten three and a half books on this story but never finished it, so hopefully I will finish this one along with Sweet and  Sour, Sweet and Sour first book is almost done and I'm pretty sure there's only going to be two books, if not three, but pretty sure just two.

For art, there are four basics, the first one you learn is how to do is lines, second is either texture or shading, the last one is coloring. That's what art is all about and what you need to know. A line is a moving dot, I started with drawing stick figures and eventually into people, the texture is all about the details like is an animal has fur draw the fur that kind of thing, clothes should have wrinkles and hair should look like hair. Shading is part of texture I think to make something look real, the shading should be fun, well at least I think so when I first learn to shade I really enjoyed drawing from dark to light and figuring out how the light works on objects. Now coloring is something I struggle, it was never my thing until I got my tablet, I love drawing with number 2 pencils and pens I can do so well drawing black and white but adding color? Now I never got into that.

But I have improved and now enjoy it, when I am working on a page I just have a need to color.

This is a comparison, from the first time I try to color to the recent time, this is like a year in between when I first try to the recent time. 

Ew gosh, I tried to hard on the background I didn't know how to do background, her skin color and eyes are fine but not the best, I do skin different now that how I use too before.

Now I really like looking at this one, still, not the best but at least the background is better and I think her skin and eyes look fine, and her hair looks good too.

Two videos that I explain the basics check them out. 

And here's to the most recent painting I've done to the first time I started painting. It's not all of them but you get the idea.

I am doing another story

So my hubby, (if you guys don't know the one that plays Barabra and such is my husband) he wanted to do a drawing thing with our eyes close, I did the blindfold even though he didn't know about it I force it so no one will peek, but it only lasted the first part of the video so maybe the Title isn't accurate but it's more exciting to say that.

I have been debating what other stories to work on and I think I am going to do by best friend story, the one I keep calling her Beth and has succeeded publish some of her stories on Amazon, I was sketching some of her characters and  one late night I decided to do the cover of the story show it to Beth and she absolutely loved it and was asking if I was going to do it. It wasn't official for I was still thinking to do Gaining Altitude or Moon Princess.

A dark story about a soldier falls in love with a princess who shines his dark past.

Triplets destined to fight the evil Lightning King who is taking over the world and magical creatures.

But I now am thinking to do my friend story which was called Legendary Blue Warrior but after I drew her main character outfit she now just wants Legendary Warrior which I don't quite agree with but it's her story so we will change it. For the outfit is suppose to be blue which I did but when I send it to her it somehow change to more a purple color and she loves that.

I don't know if I should share that picture but just know the title is Legendary Warrior. I personally don't know the whole story even though I have already drawn like three and a half books of it, I still don't know the story. 

I am still looking for a job, an actual job, and I don't know why it's taking me so long, I have work before and I feel like it was easy to get but now because of my knee I can't seem to find work and I need one ASAP, my poor hubby is so sick he can't work and hasn't been able to work for a while, we've been getting help from family and friends but it can't last and I hate feeling like I am a begger so finding a job has been my first priority, I have been interview after interview what's wrong with me!! It's my knee, I blame my knee. 

I will never dance agian...as in fancy dancing, I can hop on my other knee and move my arms but that's it, I probably can't play dance resolution ever.
