ISRIERI'S PROFILE

I'll raise my hand and speak out for the music because it IS awesome.

Sooz is probably >= that music.

My name is Isrieri. I cannot draw.





That's the best I got.

My ability to draw has never advanced past the point of a 2-year-old and I never drew anything as a child.

I fear that I may well be forever doomed to the life of a stuffy, uninteresting, and inexpressive chartered accountant unless dire action is taken ASAP.


I've found myself with some more free-time recently than I would probably like so I want to spend it practicing something worthwhile rather than to fritter it away on chips and bean paste. So I thought I would try to improve my extremely lacking drawing ability. Being able to draw something that another person could look at and say "Yeah its okay but there's a couple of things you can do to clean it up" would be a DREAM COME TRUE.

RMN is filled with talented artists so I appeal to you for help: Do you know of any resources or programs that might help a complete amateur get his feet off the ground? Did you learn any tricks or techniques that might help the uninitiated? Are there any videos out on the web that you think are good sources to reference?

I can go looking for this stuff on my own but I thought to ask folks who are in the know regarding the ins-and-outs first.

I love you guys.

EDIT: *HIC*

I'm quite the brilliant writer.

1) "As an aspiring writer, I have a lot of ideas rattling around that I'd like to ask opinions of."

2) "I tend to brainstorm a lot and, out of the many ideas, I think these show the most quality. However I'm not quite sure of their validity as full-length stories and wanted to ask what you guys thought."

3) "Hey, I write in my free time as a hobby and was thinking of digging into it more seriously. I'd like to ask for suggestions on improving some of my previous work."

4) "Hey, I know RMN is full of really talented writers! I like to write myself and would like to ask if anyone is willing to help me work out a few kinks with some ideas I've been kicking around."

5 "Video game plots are not my strong-suit. Usually they end up really corny or boring since I've not got a clear grasp on what hooks players. I figured that this might also be a issue that others struggled with and wanted to make a thread where we can brainstorm together and work with one another on our ideas.

"Yo, bring me down some throws."

"Which? You mean the plush throws or the fur throws?"

"Yeah the thaux fur fhrows."
