Hello!

As of this Friday or Saturday, October 31/November 1, I am going or on a hiatus. I do not know how short or long my hiatus will be or if I will return at all if it comes to that. It could be for a few months, a year, or more. I am taking this hiatus for various reasons that I rather not get too detailed about. Additionally, this hiatus was both expected and 'unexpected'. Either way, I am on a hiatus. To show that I am serious about this hiatus, or rather this hiatus is serious, I have turned off PMs, gifting is off, my settings are changed to something basic or more etc. I have, basically, cut off all ways to contact me on Gaia and turned off any stats/quotes etc. from going to my email as well.

I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused, please know that it is unintentional.

If you really need to contact me, please feel free to look me up on Solia Online and/or recolor.me and PM me through those sites. My username is exactly the same on there as it is here. I am rarely on either site, an hour at most on most days, but I do check them when I can. Please do not contact me to ask me to 'return to Gaia' UNLESS, again, it is for unfinished business (art payment for example). If I want to return, I will in due time, or not at all if it comes to that. I am, once again, not sure if I will return or not. If I do, obviously I will change many of my things/settings back to the way they were prior to my hiatus. Until then though, I am taking a hiatus from Gaia.

Thank you for reading and for understanding.

LAST EDITED: October 23, 2013

What if I told you that I have 'created' this guide that teaches you how to draw the basics and MANY other things? Would you use it? Would you download the file? I hope the answer was yes all across- because I have good news for EVERYONE!

I decided to take tutorials that I found online, and I 'created' a book-like format of the guide with all of the tutorials in it. It is organized and has other things in it as well... To give you an idea of what it is like- here is what the 'Table of Contents' looks like:

Thanks, and no problem! I wouldn't like it if someone took my art without crediting it. I hope it will be useful to others in the future.

Awesome!

EDIT: I was taking a look through this handy guide. It saves me the time of going from different site to site just to have some information. This guide has it all in one.

My favorite section is the one with the author of bakaneko. She made me realize that anatomy is very important to drawing. IMO, while we shouldnt fret ourselves into knowing EVERY single name for the bones, muscles, etc of the human body, it is useful to know at lease some things because they could be used to enrich your knowledge further and help you to know the names of where things are located.

I'm glad this guide/TUTE is helping some people! As mentioned in the guide itself, the 'reason' (at least, one of them) of this guide was to give the person one resource to look at instead of going between the sites (especially if you're not sure if you know which site has the info. you want). And, other reasons as well... Technically, this is a bump xd
