For that reason that is only tangenially related to what I'm actually talking about, I make a point to not always chose numbers that are nice, neat, multiples of ten, or half or a quarter of the way to a number that is almost all zeros. I say no, 25,000, I reject you, and am standing up for my principles of being non-numerically biased! I'm choosing an odd, prime number! ...wait, it isn't prime, it's divisible by 7. I should have checked my math before writing this journal. Or at least before those last two sentences. There goes my Optimus Prime comparison, and that was going to such a good side-topic... probably. I never really think these things completely through before I type them anyway, not my style. I just come up with a general idea and go straight from beginning to end, be it 18-page college term papers or dA journals. Highly detailed complex plans, after all, are for Zeros.
See, that wasn't a bad ending there, with continuing the previous pun between the number and the Code Geass character. And I didn't even think of it until the last line, but it works... Sorta. Except that I do like and admire Zero's planning, I just don't care to plan stuff out like that myself. So I have to end journals with lines that are almost clever except I contradict myself, and in discussing my contradictions I have to contradict myself some more. Because I'm so deep like that! So full of conflicting trains of thought at all time! ...Seriously though, to some extent I am. Which is why if I intentionally write all stream of conscious style like this things tend to derail, a lot. And even this is all somewhat edited for consistency anyway. You have no idea what I first typed, just what I kept! Ah the glorious lie of sanitized text. And besides, if you did see what I first typed, you'd have trouble reading it because I tend to make so many typos.
Well, it seems I'm getting into wall o' text mode again, which I find somewhat funny. Initially I wondered what I'd go on to say in this pageview number celebration extravaganza, and here I've made it more than long enough. The main point is, thanks for the views, everybody. Now I just need to know exactly how they work. What exactly counts, or doesn't count, as a pageview anyway?

I have taken in what yo said and have decided to do some more work on basic shapes before doing any more work from photos and stuff so I get the basic elements down before I try again. My DA freind, ~Amosa, suggested I do some study of the human skull to see how everything on the face fits together, it's worth a try I gues. Eyes are hard to draw so I think I will attempy to get them down as well before attempting any more photo based work and plus I'm gonna have to draw eyes whatever I do so learning no is really the best thing I can do right. I'm gonna upload all the exercise work I'm doing on Heads for you to see and I will leave the construction lines as you said so if there's anything a bit off you can tell me where I'm going wrong, if you want that is.

One thing that has been nagging me for a while now has been how to preform advanced shading techniques of photoshop elements, is it just using loads of slightly daker colours in succession in a small space or what? I did just that thing on my latest Mew picture, which is now on my gallery. Can you check it out and tell me what you think of the shading please cus I'm not overly confident about it.
