Why I draw like that
So I know I don’t really get that much feedback about why my art looks kind of stiff, (really stiff) but I thought I should explain why it’s not really improving in some ways.
Now I’m not saying I don’t have flaws that are my fault. I do, and I am trying to get better, but the main problem is my drawing program.
Serif Draw PlusX4 is what I use, and if you have the same problems, you’ll understand.
1. HANDS!
I can draw hands. Granted it drives me up and down the earth’s core, but I can over time. Sadly though if I want to draw REALLY good hands it takes FOREVER! My program has a strange way of making lines. If you make a right angle, it will curve it, or simply just make it straight NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO! So I have to bend it like four times each curve to make it look right, and even then most of the time it ends up having tangles of lines for some reason, and/or if you make a right angle the right way, it will usually make some random spike that won’t go away until you bend the right angle some other way.
2. Colors/Shading
Personally I haven’t been able to do the shading that I’ve seen in a lot of drawings, like faded lines that look all cloud-like, but that is because my program doesn’t let me. Also it doesn’t let me fill things in, unless it’s a complete shape that connect at both ends. And if I want that shape to not be a shape anymore I can’t do that. If I make a line that goes up, then a line that overlaps that one, then another to make an overlapped triangle, if I try to fill in that space, it doesn’t give me the option. I would have to make all the lines connect, and they would have to all be from the same line, not just connect from different random parts.
3. Posing
Honestly I think this one has actually gotten better, but again, the program’s curving makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE to draw what I originally had planned, and makes me do something simpler because of that.
4. Lines
Another annoying thing is the lines. Originally when I used this program I always used the paint-brush tool, because it seemed easier, but it would always make random dents and bumps, and curves ALL AROUND THE PICTURE! So eventually I had to go with using the normal pencil form. It’s easier to an extent I suppose. I can change the size of the line now, and it doesn’t make bumps, but if you want to erase just a tiny bit of it, you either can’t, have to erase a lot, or bend the line to make it the point you want. Plus, and this isn’t a huge thing, but the line is a flat end, that you can’t edge or curve so it doesn’t stick out all the time.
So yeah, that’s my program, and that’s why my art is stiff. If I had a better one I’m not sure I’d be as good at first, but I’m positive I would get better over time. The one I have now just seems like a demo for the real thing.

Riley is from the Sol Dimention like Ember and her oldest sister Nova. When Ember and Riley were little they played togather all the time. So when Ember "died" he didnt belive it and has been looking for her sence. He got word that a red cat has been seen in the Mobius Dimention and found a way to get there. He STILL hasnt found her but refuses to stop looking. So now hes somewhere in Mobius looking for Ember.

Jojo's theme song:
(Scratching)
Walked away
Could've been a little bit wiser
Should've been a millionaire
Could have held you a whole lot tighter
Acted like I did not care
I want to feel like I'm somewhere
In the middle of this
I want to feel like I'm not just slipping away
(Chorus)
So I walked away, walked away
Because I heard you say that it'll never be the same
I shoulda walked away, walked away
The voice inside me shouts out loud
The silence feels more silent now
Walked away
Walked away
Tried to step a little bit calmer
Can't shock the passerbys
These tingles within her vision
A pushing child will never cry
My pillow lies right inside this rushing ferris wheel
I want to step up instead of spinning in place
(Chorus)
I often wonder what's the truth
Where not to go, what not to do
So many days inside this carnival wheel
So many ways you can move
Still you're standing still
(Chorus x2)
Walked away
(To end)
(Scratching)
Walked away
Could've been a little bit wiser
Should've been a millionaire
Could have held you a whole lot tighter
Acted like I did not care
I want to feel like I'm somewhere
In the middle of this
I want to feel like I'm not just slipping away
(Chorus)
So I walked away, walked away
Because I heard you say that it'll never be the same
I shoulda walked away, walked away
The voice inside me shouts out loud
The silence feels more silent now
Walked away
Walked away
Tried to step a little bit calmer
Can't shock the passerbys
These tingles within her vision
A pushing child will never cry
My pillow lies right inside this rushing ferris wheel
I want to step up instead of spinning in place
(Chorus)
I often wonder what's the truth
Where not to go, what not to do
So many days inside this carnival wheel
