Q:I know you said that you just can't draw Andrew's face, but the drawing you just posted is PERFECTION. In my opinion he looks just plain sexy. *flies away*

Anonymous

Andrew is plain sexy, full stop.

Unfortunately, it’s Moriarty as a character that tends to be a problem. See, most of the time when I draw, I’m drawing characters rather than likenesses. And that’s where I’m getting tripped up. I’m not sure how Andrew, lovely, beautiful Andrew just transforms into Jim Moriarty because he really really does in such a spectacular fashion. THAT’S the real bit where this whole thing goes to muck.

Q:Do you know any good challenges? (besides the otp one of course) I need some practice but I'm lacking inspiration

Any challenge is good, really, but it depends on who you are. Drop into google “deviant art challenge” and you’ll see a list. Browse through and pick one. But once you’ve started, really really try to finish.

Q:You really have an amazing amount of potential as an artist - some really nice work! But, er...your animation needs work. A lot of work. Take a gander at the 12 principals of animation and give it another go; you've got such great stuff, I'd love to see you take another crack at it! Keep it up!

Thanks, Nonny. I am, in fact, painfully aware that I’m in serious need of study for animation, since the only training I’ve had for it is…well, watching movies.

As I said in the last post I made, I cannot consider any animation that I post to be even CLOSE to being considered complete. I really think that the first thing I need to find the will to sit down and figure out if I want to put in the amount of patience that animation requires.

Thankfully, I have been lucky to have friends that have given me a lot of wonderful advice (thanks tealin!), so we’ll see where that goes. We all have to start somewhere right? :)

Thanks for the recommendation!

Live long and prosper.

Q:In-N-Out anon again. WELL IF IT'S IN THE JINGLE! But what should I order my first time there?

I would go with the classic. Order the #1 (double double) but ask for grilled onions.

Also, be sure to get yourself some animal style fries.

(if you order a shake, they are THICK, ask for a spoon).

Q:I always think if your posts shows up in the tag, they'll get more notes quicker and you'll get more followers than you already have.

Nonny, honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for your concern about me.

But to be perfectly honest, things like notes and number of followers aren’t numbers I really care about.

I’m making my art and posting for whomever wants to enjoy it: even if that’s just one person. I’ve never liked the idea of “pimping” my blog or my work. If you happen to find it, that’s great, come on in and sit down and have a good time. If not, really, that’s just fine.

But again, I appreciate the concern.

Q:Regarding whether or not that makes you a hipster blog, the answer is no. You need to complain a bit more and have a lot more pictures of coffee to truly be a hipster blog.

Who the hell stops to take a photo of coffee? By the time someone’s pulled out a camera, I HAVE ALREADY DRANK IT.

Maybe I should take photos of my empty cups.

And complain about them being empty.

Is that good enough?

Q:Have you tried talking to the Tumblr support about your posts don't show up in tag pages?

Anonymous

Nope.

I really want to have as little to do with tumblr support as possible.

So I guess I can just be like…the fandom’s little secret cafe where you can come and hang out and no one knows it’s here unless you know about it already.

:)
