Hey, FA!
11 years ago
Since all I posted so far is boring stuff, I thought I would actually...post a real journal.
About me: I go by SilvermoonFox, or sometimes Aria as you might see me around.
I'm a 20-something mother of 2, happily married, so I'm not on this site to find someone ;) but I love meeting people here for friends so don't be afraid to say hi!
I'm horrible at replying to comments, but I read each one and appreciate them all. I feel like a spammer if what I have to say is only a couple words and not really needed. Thus it might look like I'm snooty or not listening, but really I'm smiling and quiet. If you have questions, I will do my best to answer quickly.
Sometimes my internet is crap, so you might see me online for a moment and I get to a note or something, but then I can't send my reply for a while. Okay, a lot of the time, my internet is crap. I think I have to swap ISPs but that is expensive.
I'm a nursing student! Thus me working on commissions is to try to keep my costs of that paid for. I don't start clinicals until next year so hopefully I'll get to keep drawing during the year. I have my core classes done and just have one more year of prereqs needed before I get to do the real stuff :)
Oh, I'm a fitness buff. I was chubby in high school-even middle school and much of my college days. I turned things around a few years ago and while I've been struggling with that final 15lbs, I'm at a healthy weight, run 20 miles a week and lift. So if you were ever looking at my pinterest account, you would see figure drawing, pin up stuff and fitness inspiration. LOL. I hope to run a marathon some day-well, a half marathon. If there is a furry marathon, you bet your butt I'm going to do whatever I can do to get there.
I'm always looking to improve, so if you have helpful tips or better yet, links to helpful guides and tutorials, I appreciate it.

for some artistry stuff though there are two books I recommend:
--> Classic Human Anatomy: the Artist's Guide to Form, Function, and Movement by Valerie L. Winslow approx. price is about 40 USD
--> How to Draw and Paint Anatomy: Creating Life-like Humans and Animals edited by Claire Howlett approx. price is 30 USD
Image of what they look like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4eevqikyo.....2015.31.51.jpg
Your anatomy is already very well done, I just think these books will make it even more amazing
I'm hoping my university has these in their library, actually. I have a partial from the first book on hands, I think. It was very useful and now very lost.
