Ok, so I haven't uploaded any drawings or anything for a while, so today I'll show you some of my recent drawings in my diary and explain their meaning and stuff..

First off we have this one:

 This one as you could probably guess... I drew because of my recent break up emotions.. I used pon and zi as inspiration, and made it my own.

I drew this one because it was raining... and kinda to represent how everyone has days where they just can't win. and they feel like everything is going wrong for them... so this one was kinda inspired by rain.. xD 

This one was inspired by the cartoon icons again... I'm really getting into them and am really liking them... so yeah. xD
I have a outfit very similar to this, so that inspired me with the clothing choices.

So for this one I got super bored and didn't know what to draw... so I drew what was in front of me, which were my legs and feet. xD Unfortuently the pants were too difficult to draw, so I just made them plain black. I tried using tone in this one. c:





So yeah.... Hope you liked my drawings, and if you have some submissions of your own, send them to Matt. :D

Cartoon icon tutorial

Okay, so here's how to make a cartoon icon of yourself, with your own features, clothing, hair etc. If you have photo shop you can use that, if you don't you can download paint.net from the internet.

Step 1: Google "tumblr cartoon icons" and pick one you like.
Step 2: Open it into your editing program:

Step 3: add a layer.














 Step 4: Trace around the main features with black paintbrush (If you want your own unique hair, don't trace the hair)








Step 5: Add clothing and colour in with colours you want. My example is very basic.











Step 6: Now is my favourite part: THE HAIR! You can do it how ever you want, this is my example.

    

 Step 7: Pick some skin colour and hair colour that matches your own, and you're done your cartoon!!

Step 8: Now make the background white and use paintbrush and write your name. THEN YOU'RE DONE!

 

You can use this for anything you want! Facebook, msn, skype, google. 

I hope you liked my tutorial.
