MadnessFreak Just something I noticed over observation. I'm an artist (not professional, just a hobby) and naturally I have joined a lot of art sites. Of course there are always some bad uploads, but I have noticed one thing: people with better grammar seem to be better artists. I've never seen a crappy MSpaint drawing submitted by somebody with good grammar. Is there a connection to the ability to talk well and the ability to draw and animate? *nervously looks around* I don't think I'm good with PAINT drawings.. But I am rather improving on the realistic drawings, not chibi's for a change...

[Joan De Arc]: Glad to hear it. PS: Watch those apostrophes! (Spelling mistake?) Okay, not entirely related, but I'm pretty proud of myself for this one: Link to picture.

Miko_Sohma applecyder Lady Dracor I do not believe there is a real link... I agree with this comment...
By the way, applecyder, I love the spelling icon in your sig. rofl
I just read the actor behind Mr. Bean's opinion on perfectionism in this month's issue of Reader's Digest.
The danger of that, of course, is the implication that everything you've done is perfect, which is a long way from the truth. But there's always the feelingthat there's something just out of reach that's moving away from you all the time. That can be very frustrating.

@applecyder: Oh, I kind of "borrowed" it from you, too, if that's ok. xd
Yes, that is very true. I'm always afraid of sounding boastful or show-offy (sorry for making up a word sweatdrop ) especially in school, which is why I often keep my comments to myself.
I watched a documentary once about these young, gifted children who were supposedly extreme "perfectionists." They were asked to draw something very simple, and they had a hard time with it because they kept erasing and starting over. gonk
@MadnessFreak: eek Wow, that's really good! What program did you use to make that? I cannot draw with a mouse, at all... domokun

Aubrey Nicole SilverBellsAbove Good art = not lazy = Good grammar. cool That about sums it up!
I completely disagree.
I'm the laziest person you may ever have the pleasure of meeting, but my grammar is phenomenal--well, for someone of my, er, laziness. >_>
I'm also a pretty good sketch-er.
I think the correlation just has to do with intelligence to a point...It's not all of it, but it is a point of it.
But to be a Grammarian, it is assumed that one pays attention to details--ie paying attention to detail, which is a key part of art.
I think that's more the equation and not...the laziness theory. >_>

ARE there apostrophes on chibi? Thakyou, I love it when people appreciate my work for how I've done it, not how I could. Anyway, as for apostrophes, they are generally used to me as a method of directly linking possesion terms. But then again, I never listen in English lesson. This is how I see it: Chibi's: Possesion of a chibi. Ie: This is my Chibi's house. Chibis: Plural of chibi. Ie: I like to draw chibis.

I cannot draw with a mouse, at all... domokun I used nothing but an outline trace reference from WorldGuns (the irony here is that the owner of the site has written amazing books), Flash 8 Professional, a crappy mouse (thank God for the undo button) and a gradient mixer. I actually made it under a friend's request for a project we are working on. Again, thankyou for the praise. It only inspires me to do more. ^^

I have a damned hard time with straight lines, myself, and it's enough of a trial trying to color with a mouse, let alone draw with one. Kudos to you =)

Being artistic the ability to negate laziness, I believe, are two absolutely different things.
However, I am told that I am artistic, and I am able to type correctly, so, for your purposes, I do fit within your category.

dameonmac5918: Praise and support spurs me on yet more. ^^ Thanks for your comment.
SonarP: I quite like your style. You seem to have a good idea on constuction, but not on detail as such, whereas I'm completely the opposite.
Superhappyfuntimeremark: While typing this, I mistakenly wrote 'Praise and supper spurs me on...' by accident. I must have forgotten what I was typing midway through! xD
