Blogger Signature -- Canine Claw!

Helloooooooo, Jammers!

Karalee here!

Today's Blogger Signature is forrrrrrrr....



CANINE CLAW! 😁 YAAAAAAAY!!



This may be a short post... in truth, it's extremely likely. Between the two large mugs of coffee and the two bottles of vitamin-drink-stuff I made, I am now on a caffeine crash from the equivalent of about eight cups of coffee. (Granted, that's been spaced out over the whole day... nonetheless, I really should have done the math before drinking so much of the stuff.)



I remwmbwered -- (aaaand there's the caffeine crash showing up...) -- I remembered when thinking of a design for the signature that I had done a portrait of Canine Claw in the past, so I included it in the backgrong!

...Background.

I mean background.

Here's the original portrait.

Which is based on Canine's description of her character... (*takes a sip of the old coffee left in the mug* *makes a cross-eyed grimacing face at the awful taste*) ...and her Animal Jam avatar, seen here.

Which brings us to the finished signature... here! 😊

Hmmm... *taps fingers against chin* TBH, it looked a lot more neon in my art program. Was it my iPad's screen that was too bright then, or my computer's screen that is too dark now? Please tell me in the comments if I need to post a "fixed"/brightened version!

The text was made by using the -- errrrr, I think it was called Hemp? -- brush. The text's shadow was made duplicating the text layer, offsetting it, and turning it black. The glow was created by duplicating the text layer (again) and applying the Gaussian Blur effect. I played around with the colors a lot before I got the shades I liked. Still not completely satisfied, personally... but that's my perfectionism at work. *shrugs* Overall, I like how the style turned out! 😊



I hope you like it, Canine! Enjoy your new siggy!



Catch y'all later, peeps! *wavessssss*

(Apparently I was NOT on a caffeine crash after all... this was one of the wordier posts I've made in quite a while!)

Please post a request for a Blogger Signature down below if you'd like one! (And if you haven't requested one recently. I've got a "queue", if you've requested one, you're on it. 😉) Next post -- Ja983!



PEACE!
LOVE!

AJ Artist Tag

HALLO DAWGZZZ Canine here back with another post! Today I am doing PurpleStarclub’s Artist tag, without further ado let’s get onto the tag!

—————

1. My favorite AJ animal to draw is the wolf, in fact that’s what I draw practically all, the time, and because they are usually used for art requests.

2. The hardest animal to draw ( for me at least ) is a dragon or any reptile at all, I can never get the scales right but with practice I know I can get better. 

3. I don’t usually make art pieces on AJ in fact I haven’t logged in for months due to my membership expiring. 

4. I don’t mind making art digitally or traditionally but with the art studio there aren’t any layers, clipping tools etc. which makes it hard to draw on there. 

5. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!!!

Thanks to Purplestarclub for asking me to do this tag! I tag the following to do the tag:

Mint Striped Delight!

Greetings Jammers, Arctic here! I hope you're all doing well!

If you remember, about two weeks ago, I posted some WIP art for my friend MintyMoon.

 I've finally completed it! Here's the finished result:

This was really difficult for me, but very worth it! Bone tails have never been my favourite thing to draw - they're just so oddly shaped! The biggest struggle, though, was on the eyes this time. Usually, they turn out to be my favourite part of the piece, but this time it took a lot of effort! I just couldn't seem to get the shading right.

My favourite part of this one if probably the mouth! Though small, it's definitely a defining part of any AJ art as it helps set the animal's mood!

Thats all for this post folks! See you next week!

AJ Artist Tag!

Hello there! Purple here.

I don't know if there's a tag like this out there already but I made a tag filled (not really filled, spoiler: there are only 5 questions but I'm as busy as a bee these days soooo) with AJ art-related questions.
Let's get right into the tag, shall we?

I'll be answering these questions myself and then I'll tag a few bloggers to do this tag at the end.

Ans1- My favorite animal to draw has to be a wolf. (wOw, much surprise, am I right? lol jk you all saw it coming) I know I draw way too many wolves but they're really fun to draw since I have everything memorized in my head. The wolves I draw are still very anatomically incorrect (wow, much English :clap clap:) but I'm working on them. XD Oh, and bunnies are fun to draw too! They're cute. :3

Ans2- Uh, ahh, foxes, eagles, snow leopards and basically every animal I haven't drawn at least 20 times before. I'm a slow learner. XD

Ans3- Umm, I don't have a lot of art pieces I'm ''really'' proud of (wow, that's sad) but I was really happy with how my recent drawing of Blooming turned out. I do know it has MANY things wrong with it but I just like how it looks and yea...

Ans4- I love drawing digitally! Drawing traditionally and on the AJ Art Studio is really frustrating to me. >.<

Ans5- For all artists, I'd say practice and don't give up but for ''AJ artists'' specifically, I'd say to try working on anatomy and trying different styles of drawing animals.

Those were my answers! I tag:

aaaand everyone who wants to do this tag! :P

Anyways, that's all for this post! I'll see you all once my exams are over. Goodbye!

Let's Make Red Panda Pixel Art!

Hi, Guys! It's Transions today to show you how I made some red panda pixel art! Let's get into it!

So, I started out trying to make the white area in green but that was super confusing.

So I switched to a blue background.

It sort of looks like he has a crown.

I finished the head.

Let's just take a minute to appreciate my color palette.

I finished the outline for the body.

And I started working on the tail.

I finished coloring the body.

And I finished shading.

These are all my colors.

Well, if you want a copy just let me know and I'll get it to you as soon as possible! Have a great day!

Blogger Signature -- 9catroseuniverse9!

Helloooooo, Jamaasians!

Karalee here! *waves* 😀



You know what time it is! ⏰

BLOGGER SIGNATURE TIIIIIIIME! 🎉 YAAAAAAY! 😆



Here's my request comment, submitted by 9catroseuniverse9! (Who I actually have never met, but I have a hunch I could have if I ever got on AJ anymore!! *sigh* Honestly, you guys are the only reason I still have anything to do with AJ at all since my membership ran out. "Come for the animals, stay for the friends...?")

Here's the request -- and some sweet compliments. *blush* Thank you, guysssssss! (And Swirl, since I believe I've already made you a different siggy earlier on, I'm afraid the one with the Wizard Hat will have to wait until I've filled out the other requests... I'm sorry!)

Here's 9catroseuniverse9! (And I just saw the new Mannequins. That might just be enough to tempt me back onto AJ!! O.O)

Emojis... you'll see why I need them.

And HERE IT IS! *beams* 😁

I went for a smooth, clipart-like style! (I think it was inspired by seeing a clipart picture of a rose I saw once... but when exactly has been lost to the mists of time and memory. T'was years ago, anyway.

The entire drawing was done in the brush called Studio Pen, and the rainbow of the :peace: emoji was taken directly from the pixellated image (and enlarged, minimized, trimmed, Gaussian-Blurred, and duplicated, with varying repetitions of all actions, to get it to the way it looks now).

The emojis are representations of the goodbye sequence she left in her comment, seemingly a variant of the ":peace: :hearts: :sneaky:" (AKA "Peace, Love, Ninjas!") farewell commonly used among AJ bloggers in-game. The gray spots in the background are a pattern carried over from her Tiger, and the roses... well, I guess that's pretty self-evident. 😝

I'm quite happy with how the buds and half-bloomed rose turned out, but not so much the full-blown roses -- they remind me more of poppies, really. I'll need to work on that.



Thanks for sticking around for another blog post! I hope you like it, 9catroseuniverse9!

PEACE!
LOVE!
NINJAAAAAAAS!

How to improve your art skills P2

Hola PUPPEROZZ, IT IS I, THE MAKER OF THD POST; CANINECLAW. I HAVE COME HERE WITH ANOTHER POST. I DECLARE THAT THIS POST BE PART TWO OF HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR ART SKILLS. ( that is the weirdest intro I have ever done. )
------
Take Requests:
As you most likely know I have many incompleted requests because I am too lazy to finish them, however taking requests is a amazing way to improve art! Or even just drawing something or someone again.

Expirement:
Try new art styles that you haven't tried before or just trying new mediums can help you become a better artist. For example here are two Speedpaints that I've made;

Yes I know the teeth look weird.

See the difference? Expirementing can result in this; two equally good Speedpaints with different styles. 

Anyway I have to end this post, Please Enjoy your Tuesday!

All Wrapped Up in Red!

Greetings Jammers, Arctic here! How are you all doing today?

This week has been pretty busy for me, but I still managed to complete two art pieces which I am very pleased about! Today, I'm heading off to another concert after school and I'm extremely excited!

So I haven't finished the piece that I showed you guys last week, but I did finish two others!

First, a red panda! Technically, this is more maroon. Maroon panda? Maroon? Macaroon? Macarons? What were we talking about? Oh right - the art! This is some art for my friend Wintermint of her new red panda! Seeing as I've never draw red pandas before, I'm quite happy with how it looks! The X eyes were kind of difficult for me, but I think I made it work!

Next, a festive-looking fox for my friend Sparkle! This fox gave me a lot of trouble - particularly on the legs and the candy cane socks as I've never drawn those before. I'd say it went quite well! I had a bit of a challenge figuring out how to do the pattern on the scarf, but it turned out how I wanted it to in the end! I'm also very happy with the eyes (which usually are my favourite parts of AJ-style art). Hmm, maybe that might interest you guys! Tell me in the comments below if you'd like me to do a tutorial on how to draw AJ-style eyes! I want to try and post content you all will enjoy, so let me know what you think and I'll do my best to deliver!

That's all I have for this week my friends. Again, let me know what you think about the AJ-eye tutorial thing!

Have a groovy day!

Beef burritos and Tex Mex what will Arctic post about next?

My Favorite Cartoon Artist!

Heyo Jammers! Saaaaaaaarahkey8 here back with a post with lots of toast! :D

Today is two of my amazing friends, Lostfairy and Floracutegirl!

^ For Flora(Aha like you couldn't tell XD) I think I did a pretty good job, the socks look a bit strange, but I'm proud of.. uhm.

The ears

Great accomplishment good ears XD The thing I don't like is those socks

Yeesh! The fox hat looks pretty good, and the bow is ok I guess, (Flora's blog is the Animal Jam Cheats and Codes)

 

Annnd this for Lost!  The only thing I regret is not putting the words Happy Bday in, if I was a member I would fix that, but alas I am not XD And a tiny thing is the designer skirt on the s XD (GET IT S FOR SKIRT!?! I JUST REALIZED THAT NOW HAHAH Ok jk XDD)

 I like the lil fairy, but the necklace looks like a heart broken in half.... Then the other fairy (Legend of Zelda style) is pretty good, and the pearl bracelet, could have been better, but I'm not that good at making things like that XD    

I hope both of you like it, and have a good birthday! (I need to see you two on AJ so I can give you the mps I am so glad I made them before my membership ran out!) (Lostfairy's blog is the Animal Jam Jumble
