Random Scribbles

They're... minimal. *laughs*

I'm... just starting to find a little confidence in actually trying to draw anything with human features, especially with all the really good artists that peer at this journal. Most of these are free-hand copied from the various manga because I'm still trying to figure out how to draw people, and what kinds of details make a difference and trying out paint.net or gimp for coloring things in. I'm still kind of baffled at how one of my Hakkai's doesn't look like him at *all*. ah well...

I'll even offer a 100-word drabble for anyone that guesses all 5 at all (if you get 'em wrong, I'll figure it's my fault). They'll be written after I get my TS chapter DONE. *laughs* In Bleach, Saiyuki, Tsubasa RC, xxxholic, Dogs, and Samurai Champloo (and you can add either computer science or knitting or cooking to any of those), name a pairing and a prompt (cross as you like) but I reserve the right to do my own take on the pairing. In a way this is thanks to [livejournal.com profile] incandescens for her drabble, too. I know, it's really a Bleach fan kind of thing...

[Edited to change the rules to you get a drabble if you guess at all, because it's not about you being right, so much as me getting feedback on how well *I* did...]

Clamp is in fact very scary... I was just a little crazy that way. They're hard to mimic without the proper tools (ie: really freaking expensive but oh so amazing pens)I'm torn on my feelings for mechanical pencils.... they're generally harder to erase without leaving dents in the paper from the sharpness of the lead (though .07 is definitely better than .05) but they're easier to keep on hand for quick sketches. They don't blend out very well either but... *shrug*

Well, there are blue leads... *grins*

And I'll admit it's easier to get Clamp effects when I'm using my brushes and drawing pen heads than regular felt tips.
