My Bio
Art: I've been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. I've had precious little real schooling or other instruction in art, so for the most part I've learned through copious amounts of practice, from observing the real world carefully, and by watching the techniques of artists who draw the way I wish I could.

Writing: I have also been writing as soon as I knew letters, and I've also come a long way. I've had a bit more education for writing, but a lot of my expertise is just experience and from reading a lot. I am currently on draft V of my first novel, Death's Tear.
I pride myself in my villains. I know villains back and forth and upside down, and if you're looking for advice, check out my blog!

Me personally? I'm Rii the Wordsmith. I'm an avid consumer of fiction in all its mediums, a gamer, a psychologist, a wife, I'm religious but most people wouldn't assume that on meeting me...I'm an evil overlord. I don't know, I'm not really sure you can understand a person well from just describing them.

Anyway hope you enjoy my works (and no, srsly, check out my blog!)

I feel like my drawing hasn't been improving very much lately so I decided to make a list of things that I have a hard time doing so I can have a list of things to look at and think about when I'm trying to improve. 1. Scaling a figure to a page BEFORE I've already drawn it and the person's feet are cut off 2. Objects interacting with each other, from one person holding an object or leaning on an object, to two or more people touching or touching the same object. 3. Coloring, watercolors, pencils, smooth coloring. 4. Facial expressions that rely 0% on stock Anime expressions (Y'know, ^_^, XD, vein, O_O, etc); the sub goal is figuring out

Art and Money

0 min read
Hey guys. I've finally gotten good enough at drawing I don't feel like I'm stealing if I were to charge people for it.  This is good because my husband and I are trying to save up for a car and as married college students, that's not an easy feat. However, just as I was considering trying to make a little money on the side, I ran into someone else who is in a much worse place than me: http://www.gofundme.com/2sbviw?utm_campaign=Emails&utm_source=sendgrid.com&utm_medium=email I am determined to help him. I'm a graduating psych major so I know how terrible schizoaffective disorder is. He is very, very brave to try and support himself. If yo

...Anyway, hi, to those who were wondering where I've been. I hadn't been drawing much so I didn't feel much of a reason to get on DA. But I HAVE been drawing a heckuvalot lately, and then I needed a ref from a sketchbook I don't currently have and found a scan of the picture I needed on here so...I guess I'm back! I'll probably upload a buttload of art soonish, whenever I'm not too lazy to scan it all. I may or may not just post it directly, depending on how lazy I feel, how much I want to digitally clean up the art first. I feel like I've improved a lot so I look forward to updating my...uh, portfolio? Or whatever!
