Okay

Sorry to bother you again and clog up your everything.

I just had some thoughts that I need to jot down. Now that I have a little more time for my art, I just decided I might as well do some sort of summer project.

Ideas:

1. Get some children books from the library (only one at a time) and reillustrate them

2. Create shadow boxes out of song lyrics (My art teacher did this, and it seems really cool)

3. Create a childrens book out of a retired book - Use as many types of mediums as possible (while remaining consistent) TRYING TO BE CONSISTENT CAUSE I'M ALL PARANOID NOW

4. Draw in a sketch book every day. Still lifes, characters, thoughts, vent art, etc. (I'm going to do this anyway)

5. PRACTICE MY ANATOMY. DON'T BE AFRAID TO SEARCH ARTISTIC NUDES AND DRAW THEM COMPLETELY UNCENSORED!! AHAHAHAHPENISESANDBOOBS

6. Stop being so immature about this.

More thoughts later.

THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN BITCHING ABOUT MY LIFE YES.

200th post, and a little thought on art.

Woo~ This is my 200th post.
I only have eight followers. AHAHA Its a little sad because I'm pretty sure they all:
A. ignore me
or
B. their accounts are inactive. 8D

I don't blame them <33

Okay so that totally wasn't the point of this post.

I was actually looking through my gallery on deviantart the other day, and I was finding my art to be really... well... inconsistent.

I don't know if I should be worried or not. (Maybe that's why I'm so internet unpopular hurhur (or I actually have a life, unlike some people I know))

I plan on going to graphic design / marketing / foreign language, which I guess isn't that big of a deal considering the fact you never really see any FAMOUS graphic designers... I don't, at least.

And if you do, their style is rather cliche, imo.

OKAY SO THIS, AGAIN, IS ENTIRELY NOT THE POINT.

I have a definite style.
If you put my art next to anyone else's, its rather distinct.
But I do too many things with it.

I design, yes. I illustrate, yes.
I draw, traditionally.
I draw digitally.
I use copics, colored pencils, photoshop, GIMP, whatever computer program I can get my hands on basically.

I just feel its all too... all over the place.

Should I be concerned?
I'm in my junior year of high school, and I don't even know what my favorite medium to work with is. :\
I really like digital, though. I just don't know.
I really don't. D:

Acen 2011....

I don't like you. I don't know you, but I don't like you.

I think
I need
to get a life.

I really really do.
I should probably stop controlling other people's lives.
Like my friends

I still haven't learned my lesson.
I want to be angry.
But I don't have the energy to.

I want to tell you
That hearing that made me panic
And by panic, I mean sob uncontrollably.
I freaked. And I mean it.

Yes, I'm jealous.
I'm not sure why, but I am.
Yes, I'm paranoid.
And those words made it much much worse.
Yes, I'm scared.
In fact, I'm terrified.

Just a Birthday

It was nothing more than just a birthday.
The day started out with a phone call at midnight from a friend in a totally different time zone.
I can honestly say, she is my best friend.
The first person to say happy birthday to me was my friend in real life.
Yeah, I appreciated it.

My friend bought me coffee on the way to school.
White Mocha Latte~ Aah. Pure bliss~

A teacher gave me a birthday card.
And I was greeted with a cupcake and "Happy Birthday Amber" written on the white board of my second block class.

I appreciated that too.
I would have liked the cupcake if it wasn't half melted and really, really gross. xD;
I still like the thought, though.

Third block was as boring as usual.

Fourth was great. I finally finished the cover for my school's literary magazine.
I'm not supposed to show it to people. It's considered "Prior review"
And since we work under a Tinker system, I cannot... by law.

So, you'll have to wait until the magazine is completely published.

Anyway...

Art Club was canceled, which was a slight downer...  but it allowed more time for my friends to come over.
You know, the ones that are willing to put aside the "important" things to do so.
Kayley, Krysta, Heather, Gracelyn, Allisan and Deidra.
Actually
Allisan, Krysta, Kayley and I decided we're going to plant a garden this summer.
It'll be a collaboration.
We actually started on it today, ahaha.

So, the garden is pretty much cleared. We're actually making a moss garden on the side because we felt terrible for killing it. To be honest, it was too cute to do so.... So we moved the soil.

We had a great dinner that my dad and grandma prepared.

And some things happened, including watching South Park for a good three hours.


I can't help but be bothered though.

Its been year number two.
And yet, I'm still supposed to keep my mouth shut.

Anaglyph Tutorial

I made a tutorial for this while I was at it. :U

 Hopefully it helps.

Anaglyphs

After searching for what seemed like forever, I was able to find a tutorial that told me how to make Anaglyphs out of a single picture, instead of taking two pictures and making them into one.

These ones do actually work!

I drew the second, and the first one I took myself about four years ago.

The first one totally trips me out. I can never tell if Anaglyphs work, but that one definitely does.

So seriously, go get a pair of 3D glasses and look at them. C:
