Drawing & Illustration

Well, I am starting to get into art. I really want to work with pastels, or even paint to make sunsets, and moonlights, and nighttime skies, and all that. However, I am just a beginner, and I don't even know where to start, or what things I should buy. Help? Any tips?

I'm making a penname for an art website, but I don't know what to use. I like names that are kinda gothic or emo. Faeries and fantasy creatures are pretty cool. Anime names are pretty cool too. Or something that just fits together. I'm female, but don't pick anything too girly. Can you please help me??? I need something a.s.a.p. thanks!

Wouldn't it be better to just leave out the lines so that it will look original rather than an attempt to copy the original photo image?

Does it make me a bad or worse artist if I need visiual aids for most things when I draw or paint? I can come up with layouts and what I want to do, but if I'm drawing like a window, I'll use a picture from the internet or something for reference. I especially do this when drawing people, I cant draw them straight from my head. Does it make me a worse artist if I need to look at something for help?

So far my ideas are pretty lame - - the word spelled out in Scrabble tiles, a bulls eye, a stack of books on the subject. Maybe a face with eraser marks all around? I don't really like any of those. I'm stumped!

Technical sketching skills that is, but still not that technical. Bascially technical sketching freehand, without equipment.

I need to be able to do rough sketches before doing full working drawings.

What are some tips, techniques or methods used? I know that sketching isn't technical or method like but are there any tips I should know?

Whenever I draw one of my pictures, my rough work looks so fogged because I go over lines repeatedly, even the anatomy guidelines.
If I move my pencil too slow the line gets wobbily, and too fast might make me lose control and mess up.

So in the end I make so many lines I lose the basic form of what I wanted in the first place.

Any techniques you've discovered that might help?

I pratice alot

I have three drawings from that particular person: One is of a house in the country, excluded from any civilization, the second is of another house in the country (in fairly greater disrepair), and the third is of a small schoolhouse building with a small steeple, also in the country. All these drawings were done in nothing but black ink and all have bare, leafless trees in the foreground. Thanks

I'm just about to go into my 4th year at secondary school (I don't know what the equivalent is in America) and I've taken art as one of my options. My new teacher told us to go onto our vle (virtual learning environment) to get our homework for the holidays, so when everyone broke up, thats what we did, and we have to add more detail/finish off etc to our past art work in our sketchbooks. The only problem is is that our OTHER art teacher (a right old bat!) took in our books at the end of the year, saying we wouldn't need them. The homeworks due in first day back, and i don't know what to do! I don't want to give my new teacher a bad impression of me, because i normally give my homework in on time. What do you suggest i should do?! I've started just sketching random stuff, just to keep practising, but do you think thats enough? help!!!!

thanks in advance!

oh, and if anyone's going to be rude, then please don't bother answering!

thanks! =D

Now what’s next? (Baby you are…)

Baby you are…
Every breath I take,
You’re the thought about every move I make,
You’re my soul mate,
And I can only flow and roll with you,
You are; my best friend; my boy; my dude.

Baby you mean a lot to me…
Like the music I right, or the music I sing.
Baby with you I feel this sort of love thing,
It feels good opposite of a sting,
And the feel is real;
Like if you were to give me a ring.

Your love makes since…
When it flows to the beat,
And I know it like a song,
Mine do to, so my heart don’t beat; alone…
It sings along.
I’m starting to sweat,
Baby do you feel the heat… we alone.

Baby you are…
What I need,
You are my life,
And you mean a lot to me;
Like me wanting to have your unborn seed.

Now guess what babe…
I just woke up out of my dream,
And I keep saying to myself I wish he felt the same way about me.
Now I stare at him from my window to his; and ducks when he looks at me.
And as I slide down the wall,
I say to myself he’s my king.
But little do I know he feels that I’m his queen,
And at night he has similar dreams.

Now if only I can find the courage
To let you know I ain’t worthless.
But at the same time he’s curious like that monkey.
So if we ever get together,
He’ll be to in love won’t dump me.
But if we fall we’ll be like humpty…
Shattered into little pieces,
And we’ll just be through…
Cause that kind of hurt is needless.

And as my doorbell gets me out of my trance of a daydream,
I look out the window and I’m caught by surprise by who this be,
It is he…
And he has a bouquet for me,
Now all this is confusing for me,
So as he ends from explain to me,
I say to he…

Baby you are…
My king, my man, my friend,
And I never want us to end,
Everyday we’ll make it like we just began.
He shakes my hand, and says bet…
Looks like we have a plan…
Now what’s next?

I'm from Moyock, North Carolina, but currently I'm visiting in Toledo, Ohio. I love this place, it's cooler, more open and rural, and just a great place to me. Also, the thing I really love is the fact it's so much cheaper here, the housing, cost-of-living, and even gas! A 500k house in Moyock, you can find here for around 250k or less!
I'll get to the point. I'm gonna be a firefighter/paramedic so once i get my degree I can go just about anywhere. On the other hand, my gf wants to be an artist. She's looking into graphic design or Illustration, and perhaps cartooning and some fine art on the side.
She wants to stay in Moyock, but I need to find a way to talk her into this place. I need to know how well art careers do around in the Toledo area, and what the salary is.

So far, we havent found anything in the NE north carolina area and VA Beach.
