Ahh shit. So this means that there's no chance for anything romantic with this girl right?

This actually depends how old you both are. When I was younger in high school people would just cuddle all the time watching movies and all be friends and whatever.

Since I've been, say, 22, all forms of physical contact usually eventually lead to sexy time/dating.

But it also depends on a case by case basis

Thing is I was told that Sheridan College animation requires grade 12 uni level art, graphic design and English. And I really need those credits to get in.

[QUOTE=thisispain;43353887]youre doing it for the wrong reason. set up goals for what you want to accomplish in your art form and try to see what you need to accomplish those goals. you'll do a lot of good work that no-one will ever pay you for because it's just part of creating art. [/QUOTE]

Thing is I have trouble noticing flaws, usually I just ignore them or don't notice them at all.

Sometimes I do, for example [URL="http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/363/6/5/pretty_damn_hip_rodent_by_danielsmith300-d6zxqgq.png"]one of his cheeks[/URL] are too big and it throws the whole thing off. Also limbs are hard to do but I am practicing. It's still way better than anything I could do a year ago or even 4 months ago.

You should check out the book "Cartoon Animation" by Preston Blair. It's one of those silly how-to-draw books, but it's also a great reference and teaches you a lot about the basics.

Do I really want to go to a gay bar on new years to hang out with this girl I met on Christmas? She is busy until next week, and really the only time I can see her will be tomorrow. I just feel going to a gay bar would be very awkward to try and get to know her.

How gay is the gay bar? Usually they are pretty decent places imho.

That's the thing: I have never been to a gay bar before. Airdrie is all just sports bars and one club, while Calgary is the night life hotspot. So I have no idea. I asked my roommate and he said all the ones in Calgary are pretty fucking gay.

I'm from Halifax, we've got a couple gay bars/clubs in our city, I usually frequent the least gay gaybar, and it's 100% fine, not really sure how it translates to conservative Alberta. Does that means the gaybars are more gay, or less gay?

Honestly if you go to a gaybar and are not gay, no one really cares too much from my experience.

[Jo The Shmo]

[editline]30th December 2013[/editline]

So no one can help with my situation? That's reassuring.

Do as the title says... "Fucking ask her out". What's she gunna do, say no? Ok then you have your answer. Otherwise she'll say yes.

I would but I've known her for up to 5 years with a great friendship and she seems like the type of person who would be awkward after a rejection. Oh well guess I'll try when I see her again.

It's only as awkward as you make it.

Are you doing anything else? You should go out with your friends and just pass through the gay bar sometime during the night. Check things out, see if its gay enough fr you, and if you can get things popping with your girl. You can always leave and still be with your friends in case it doesnt work out btween you 2 or you get hit on by the whole bar

Yes but I need to know the basics of art first and how to make real people before cartoon people.

[URL="http://i.imgur.com/NWaxljH.png"]I've already came up with a character,[/URL] including her personality but I can't do much about it yet because I can't do proper shapes and proportion.

I'm still learning and I need to spend at least a month drawing shapes and shading before I can move on to proportion and perspective.

it looks really good!

Thanks but I just don't see it that way and neither does the creative work thread. I've only recently started to notice my mistakes and it's been good and bad. Good because it forces me to fix things and bad because I lose motivation when I can't fix it.

The best thing to do is keep on trying, I was a hardcore visual art kid in high school if that helps my accreditation at all. Yes you can improve, but its pretty cool to see how you have developed a stylized character, it would be interesting to see more characters in the same style.

I turned to using many styles recently instead of only one, it's visible on my deviant art page.

I'll just keep plugging away at studies until I can finally make something that I can turn to and say "wow, I did that?"

Well, I sent that message over facebook two days ago and got no response. I'm probably not going to get upset about it because I 90% expected that would happen. I'm just proud of myself that for the first time in my life I mustered up the balls to approach someone I thought was gorgeous. I'm just a bit moody but hopefully I'll get over it soon. Next time I approach someone I won't make the same mistakes. On the good side, I'm still working a job that's related to the major I'm going for, I'm still working out and seeing some results after a month, and I still have another year ahead of me.

To make you feel better, sometimes messages sent from people who aren't your friends are put automatically into your "Other" box. It's happened with me a few times, and I get a reply months later by the person apologizing for not having seen it.

Mistakes in your own art can be hard to see if you've been looking at them a while, easiest way around it is to use the mirror method, if your on paper literally go over to a mirror and look at in that, on the computer do a right-left flip of the image. You'll see your mistakes almost immediately, it gives you a fresh look at it.

I actually noticed that when flipping something over by mistake, I'll try to apply that.

Most women I've asked hate when people ask over facebook. They'd rather receive a text or hear it in person.

I noticed problems with all of my work except [URL="http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/364/b/8/alien_head_by_danielsmith300-d7042fy.png"]this one[/URL], for some reason I see no errors when flipped

I know, [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1257818&p=43338418&viewfull=1#post43338418"]I said that in my last post[/URL], and I agree. In this case I never got her phone number and I didn't have another opportunity to meet in person. And I never asked her out over facebook, I just sent a message saying basically if she's down we should meet up at so-and-so because that's where she lives and that's where my friends and I are visiting, so why not. Like I said if I had a better option, sure, but in this case I didn't and I don't think I had anything to lose to try.
