OOC: Short Hiatus

[nerdherdchuck]

Hey all. I'm going to be heading to the west coast for a week. (The muse may live in California, but the mun lives on the east coast. *g*)

I'll be in Vegas for a couple of days and then visiting a family friend in California.

I'm leaving early tomorrow morning so I may catch up on a couple replies after work before I go. I should be back on-line sometime on the 17th. (My flight home gets in rather late on the 16th.)

Feel free to reply to this and leave a note of any threads I'll need to tag back when I'm on-line again.

Take care and see you in a week!

Oh I don't like thrill rides either. I don't do roller coasters or anything like that. I HATE that dropping feeling. It makes me sick.

I do the tame stuff. And the Monster's Inc. one is really tame.

*giggles* I wish I were that good, seriously. I can't draw bodies to save my life.

I have an inner ear problem. So, anything that whirls, twirls or anything like that is a problem for me. Makes me quite sick.

Those kinds of rides (Pirates of the Caribbean, Small World, etc.) are no problems. Had lots of fun going through the Haunted House at Disney World about 3 times.

It's been a while since I did any serious drawing. I should get back into it.

Not fun. :(

Yeah, the Monster's Inc. one is like those kind of rides. I love Pirates and the Haunted Mansion rides. Small World irks me after awhile.

I haven't done any serious drawing for awhile. I have sketches and doodles, but nothing finished.

What kinds of stuff did you like to draw?

I mainly do, gee, anime! However, when I was in classes, I would do portraits of people in the class in ballpoint pen. I can't sit and just listen in a class. I do better by absorbing it subconsciously, then bringing it back when I need it. So, I've drawn a bunch of people from various classes. I even did one of a teacher who was just about to have tribbles dumped all over his head (in the portraint, not in reality).

*grins* I should have guessed on the anime. :)

That's pretty cool though. I never could do realistic portraits. That takes talent.

*giggles* A portrait of tribbles being dumped on someone's head. Too funny.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Heh...I know, I'm so transparent.

I can't do portraits, except in ballpoint. Which is rather bizarre, considering how unforgiving the medium is.

He was one of those very absent-minded professors. He probably wouldn't have noticed the tribbles being dropped on his head!

That is strange, given you can't erase at all or anything.

*lol*

Yeah, sometimes I'd have to abandon a few attempts when things just weren't working. I won't say that they were exactly life-like, but they were definitely more like regular portraits than anime-type portraits.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they were fine. :)

I'd also like to try more watercolors. I sometimes got some good effects from those. Unfortunately, though, I tend to be too clumsy with them.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Watercolors are tough. They bleed into each other very easily.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. It's a really tough medium. People who can do it well have to be incredibly patient. But you get such lovely effects with it.
