"I want to be a better artist."This is a sentiment I hear often on dA. It's usually followed by a question regarding how one should go ABOUT becoming a better artist.
  I've no doubt made journals like this in the past, but here's another one. This page was in dire need of an update, either way. : )
  I could probably talk your ear off for a mile and a half about why I should be the last person you ask for creativity-boosting advice. Aaaand I have my reasons for this, but that's not really what anyone who writes me wants to hear, I think. It's just a fair warning. I'm not an accredited teacher, I was far from the most capable person at my college, I've made a metric crapton of mistakes, and I am nowhere near where I'd like to be in my own personal artistic endeavors. If that doesn't bother you, well, keep on reading!
  The best way I could aid anyone interested in bettering themselves would probably be by giving you the advice that inspires me the most. Stuff I've heard from frie

Dun been Tumblr'd.

Hey everybody!

I went and done and got myself a Tumblr account. [link]

I plan on using it as a sketch deposit box, mostly, but I'd also like to use it to address art-related questions I get in my notes a lot, one of which being 'Do you have any tutorials?', to which I typically answered 'Noooo.. I do not know how for working to make tutorials' .. and I still don't know how to go about a good solid one, so I figured instead, I'll just put snippets of art ramblings up there, and if it helps anybody out, that'll be awesome. :]

Folks who've sent notes can still send them of course, if they'd like to know something specifically. Just hit me upside the head until I stop talking about how good mozzarella and tomato on french bread with the right dres-- ACK. There I go again. But yes, feel free to ask anything you'd personally like to know about the artstuffs. I can't promise I'll know how to respond but I'll sure as hell try!

..also! Regarding folks who send notes.. I apologize if I've never responded to you! Trust me I read all my notes, every last one, but more often than not I tell myself "Oh I'll answer this after I go make a coffee".. and then senility takes hold and I never check my notes again for the rest of the day. Every now and then I'm going to dive into the note box and just start an answering frenzy until I clear through the backlog of unaddressed questions.

Anyway! Back to work!

Are you going to put stuff in to folders like tutorials, drawings, answered questions, ect. on tumblr ? it would help your watchers.

You know, I would be the kind of evil person to start sending you random notes just to see how long it would take for you to answer them. I remember I had a friend that it took them 2 years to respond to a question that I needed an answer for by the weekend. After that, I have always had this urge to test and see just how long it takes people to answer questions that I ask them when ever they say they get around to the stuff late.
