Project Educate M/A Interview:rurettoManga/Anime Showcase: ruretto:iconruretto:========My thoughtsThis M/A artist has such an amazing style that everyone get's inspired by! JL is really inspiring to me!-----------------1. What type of Media do you use to draw onI've went through several tablets, like the Graphire USB blueberry and the Graphire2. However, I recently got a new laptop and it no longer supports those type of tablets. So, I currently use an Intuos4 tablet for my drawings, and it's working out pretty well for me! 2. How do you start your pictures? Do you plan them out first or do you just draw and see where it gets you?If I just start out drawing blindly to see where it takes me, there's a 50/50 chance that it'll either be finished or end up as a trashed doodle.

It was about a robot that went around defeating other robots and taking their powers, but at that time I thought the character designs were so awesome from game to game, it inspired me to want to scribble my own little robots for him to battle (which people will never, ever, ever see!) ...

Project Ed Tutorials: PhotographyPhotography In a sense feels like it would be simple enough for the most part.You use the device in your hands to look at something and you press a button to capture the image you want.That's the gist of it, but there's considerably more to it than that, especially if you want to take something that accurately represents your intentions.For Project Educate, I'll be featuring some deviation tutorials on Photography that I like and hope that you yourself will find useful as a budding, seasoned or humbled expert photographer.They will be broken down in the form of Technical and Creative tutorials. Some will be focused on numbers and basic ideas to compose and make a quality photo and others will be focused on what you can do with those techniques to make advanced visual creations.For the most part, these tutorials apply to anyone that owns a camera, whether it be your compact, point and shoot or a DSLR.TECHNICAL Tutorials Shutter Speed -

Project Educate Tutorials: Closing Statement.First off, I'd like to thank everyone for bearing with me on a week that turned out considerably better than I thought.Amidst struggle and miscommunication we managed to get a pretty successful week showcasing some incredibly skilled tutorial artists and even feature some excellent groups.
