hahaha i know theres a website I *used* to go on and i asked for drawing advice and what to do about my sister taking all the attention and someone literally said 'leave the drawing to your sister. she's obviously the best at it. leave it behind and you can fosuc on things you're actually good at" needless to say I haven't been on there in a while.

I don't really pay attention normally in art, she tells us to use the tip of the pencil and hold by the eraser, i hold it near the grip part hahahaha. but i was having trouble shading the drawings so i decided i better sit up at take...MENTAL notes :] and it helped...i think.
now we can't draw in our sketchbooks, we've got to make a piece that portrays our feelings on something that has happened to us..its sposed to be PERSONAL so we can't show anyone buy the teacher but i might show you guys if it's not TOO personal

any more advice?
