Hello my loves,

A sum-up of what's been going on;
Recently moved out with some friends, got a great place. Things are working out really well. I have to brag thogh, I have the best roomies ever. They are the easiest people to live with. Clean. Respectful. I love them to pieces.
I have finally gotten a job after months of looking. It's been a little too drawn out of a search for me. Cutting things too close financially. It IS quite stressful, and has been really weighing me down lately. But after what I thought was a fantastic interview, I got the job. Though it IS technically a temporary seasonal position, it's better than nothing. Seems like it'll be nice to work there, the people are pretty great. Training was last week, and that seemed to have gone well. My first real (though not a full) shift is tomorrow, hoping things go well there. I need the money, I have bills and rent to pay, not to mention I have to eat. Hopefully I'll get more hours soon. I don't want to have to pay everything on credit. boo
As a result of no longer living at home, I havn't got a computer. I cannot afford to buy one at present. And the one that we DO have is pitiful. It is the substance of nightmares. The horrifying reality that is; A dinosaur of a 6GB IBM running Windows'98.
As a result of this being the only computer available to me you may have noticed the decrease in submitted deviations of mine. See, because the computer is so old I can't do a darned thing with it. No MSN, though I have meebo working, since it requires no downloads, yay web-based messenger! No Java, so no paintchat, no Flash, so no dA chats. And the worst of all; it won't install my tablet. So no drawings. Aside from the ones I do out of despiration using a mouse.
I drop in and check my messages daily, but I can't pop into #AnimeArtists chat and say hi to my darlings. I hope everyone is doing well, taking care of yourselves.

Until later~ Rabie-pie~<3

tagged me. as tasty.
here goes. also, btw, I'm not tagging other people, cuz... I guess I suck!


Your name?
rabie-pie. Or if you prefer real names I'm Tabi.

If possible, your age?
23

When did you start drawing?
I've been drawing ever since I could hold a crayon.

Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right handed. Fully and wholly. (My left hand is naught but an appendage for leaning on.)

Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Females, definitely.

Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Long hair. Way more fun.

Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
I think I draw more facing to the left hand side of the screen.

Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
hmmm...I think front is easier.

What do you have problems in drawing?
I have issues drawing limbs from time to time.

What do you like to draw?
I like to draw weird things, and bunnies and kitties, and more weird random things.

Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
I submit and draw mostly digital art. I DO do traditional stuff, however I lack a scanner, but alot of it i wouldnt submit anyhow.

Where do you start drawing from?
Head and shoulders.

What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Biggest, worst habit: I whip through pictures, scribbling my way through most of them, I lack patience. Habitually 'creepify' anything.

Any tips for coloring/shading?
erm, I dunno, I'm not actually AWARE of techniques, I just DO it...
ProTip: know where your light source is when shading.

How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
Um mostly, never more than an hour or two tops. I like to finish fast, I can't seem to dwell on a single picture for more than a few hours collectively, I go mad.

What music do you listen to while you draw?
Metal, classical, but mostly experimental industrial weird stuff that people gennerally don't appreciate.

How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Depends on the day and how it's gone. We all have our dry spells, but if it's not a bad day, it takes seconds, and I'm often half way done it before I get another idea, so I rush to finish so that I can draw the new one up while I'm still amused by it.

Your favorite drawing utensils?
Pen tablet running on paint tool SAI (<3) or mechanical pencils and black gel pen. Iventure into many other things like pints, pastels, inks, metals, woods, etc etc in whickh I use a wide range of fun tools.

Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
Brown, I guess. Love earth tones. And black<3 But pink and green are frequent as well.

Your favorite style(s)?
Um..style 'manga/anime style' I suppose...I like bold lines and bold colors. But other time I like a painted feel with no line art at all. So again, It depends on how I feel like arting at that moment.

What kind of artist are you aiming for?
Not aiming, really. I just wanna get better at things. I aim to be a more patient artist so that I can give myself the time to put in the minute details that my art often lacks due to my impulsive need to rush through it.

That is all. If you feel the desire to do this, go ahead, idk, w/e.

Hello My Dear Friends, (and other people)

Tomorrow I am moving. It is all quite exciting. I am not quite all together[mentallly].
As it stands I'm not sure when the new net connection will be up. And once it's up I'm not sure how often I'll be online. Though once we get settled in there will be more time, most of it will be spent looking for a job[frantically]. After that I'll be looking to fix up the computer I have, as it is broken and needs some new parts. So keeping in mind that I will be sharing the computer with my room mates, know my time on here will be limited. But only until I get mine fixed, of course.

I'm strugging to write, I'm tired, I packed all day long, and need my sleep. Goodnight everyone and try and get along without me. I know it will be hard
But you can do it! Love you guys! take care! cheers! hugs and all that rot! <3
