Wishing we had more members (T_T).....
-Anyways just read something interesting and thought more people may wanna know
..so here it is,-- obviously everyone knows that the best way to be good at something is through practice , but just how much exactly?
Well apparently whether you have talent or not pretty much everyone needs at least 10,000 hours of practice
for example most athletes who are pro in any sport have most likely at least practice that much refining there skills until it's pretty much instinct
the same could be said about Art and other things that require some skill
--that's why if you notice or not, most mangaka start out with ok art which eventually becomes better such as Bleach or Hunter X Hunter
so if your gonna pursue this type of career, ye can't be half-ass about it, gotta go full throttle.

Hagureta Stray ~Contest
~orekiahemplz (https://www.deviantart.com/orekiahemplz)
Hello everyone! For those who don't know, I am working on a manga project of my own named: Hagureta "Stray"
The manga's story, in short, is about a group of rebels against an institute that has been making experiments on people. The main character Maielle, is one of those experiments and ends up being trained like a dog to become a killing machine for the institute. But "Stray" will take her in, the group who swore to destroy the institute and in which the members are all people set astray from humanity.
I posted a preview a while ago of a scene yet to come right here, so you can see the art style: Preview
And now comes t

when i first started off in art, i was freaking terrible XD i had three main problems:
- i couldnt draw any perspective except straight-on
- if i tried to draw a girl it always just looked like a guy with long hair >__>
- i couldnt draw any type of animal at all
fast-forward 5 years, and i have multiple female OCs, draw in many perspectives (although now i cant draw head-on perspective anymore XD) and... well i still cant draw animals TAT so basically over fives year's time i went from absolutely terrible to only slightly terrible... </modesty>
