Most people call me AJ, for Andrea Joy. I live in Denver, I love to read, I listen to almost all types of music. I'm 16, my birthday is August 16. Most of my art just plain sucks, of course, this also has to do with my shoddy scanner. I have spent hours surfing on Elfwood and it just makes me more and more envious and jealous. But that's okay, it just makes me try harder. Definately check out Drea O'Dare and Stephanie Pui Mun Law's page. I really like Min Rho, Laura Freeman, Ursula Vernon, Amy Phillips, and Meilin Wong, too. Those are only a few of my favorites. If, for some odd reason, you like my style of drawing and you want me to do a commission (free) for you, just e-mail me at oneshycat@aol.com (If you do, please put 'elfwood' as the subject, otherwise I will most likely delete it.) I am no longer posting on Elfwood. You can see what I have now, otherwise go check out what there is at my art gallery. Feel free to IM me if you see me on, etc. Constructive criticism ONLY. So, please no 'this sucks,' and such. Another thing, if you are going to say something about my work, put your name. If you are too ashamed to let people know who you are, then you shouldn't be saying whatever it is you are saying.

Keep it up, will you? I'd love it if you took a little hike up to my cluster of trees in the Woods. Leave a comment even? *dispoofs* | |
| 9 Nov 2001 | Loadstar | I'am one light year old. | |
| 30 Jan 2002 | Andrea Brekus | Oh, and if anyone cares- ::doubts it severely:: -I'm planning on removing both Dangle and Spikey, cause, well, they suck. | |
| 30 Jan 2002 | Andrea Brekus | Yes, I know I'm commenting on my own stuff. But I'm doing this to tell you that even though the stuff in here sucks for now, it'll be a LOT better as soon as updates are back up! I added like 10 things! ::is probably exaggerating:: Come back sooooon! (I'll have new stuff on my fanart page too!) | |
| 31 Jan 2002 | Mitch de la Guardia | Hi, Andrea, and thanks for visiting my site. You likie Laura Freeman, huh? Heh, I had two painting classes and one drawing class with her in college. You should see some of her paintings, they're great! But you've got some potential here, I can see it in all your pieces. The one thing I would reccomend you try is working on your anatomy a bit. The best book I have ever found is "Bridgeman's Complete Guide to Drawing From Life" But other than that, I like what you have here. | |
| 31 Jan 2002 | Jennie Seay | Andrea, I've got a couple of suggestions for you. Artwork is, for the most part, nothing but observation and practice. If you keep drawing and carefully observing what you want to draw - you will improve. Getting yourself a good sketchpad and a good set of pencils would help with that. I would suggest that you stay away from color for a bit - it is much easier to focus on contrasts and anatomy with greyscale artwork, and then later on you can add color. Work on your anatomy and sense of proportion by drawing from real life or from pictures. It will help you notice the little details about how things are put together. Draw all the time! Even if it's just a sketch and doesn't turn out well - draw every day! Study the work of artists you like (Elfwood is a great place for this). You have the desire to improve - don't let other artists get you down - learn from them! Best of luck to you.  | |
| 3 Mar 2002 | Andrea Brekus | Here's me, commenting on my own gallery again. The moderators take too long, so here it is: I'm not posting anything on Elfwood ever again. I will post it on my Angelfire gallery, so hopefully that will come through soon. I'll still do commissions (for free!) if you want, just e-mail me with Elfwood as the subject, otherwise I'll delete it. Elfwood is making me angry, so if you want to see my art, just check it out at http://www.angelfire.com/anime3/bryndahakkar/images/images1/gallery.html Please check it out. Most of my art are just redrawns of other people's work. It is not tracing, but is still unacceptable to Elfwood. I never took credit for the ideas, never profited from them, because those lines came from my fingertips, if not from my brain. Anywho, check it out. | |
| 9 Mar 2002 | Rachel Bebber <jink@xoa...com> | Sorry about your troubles but using other people's work is wrong. Maybe you'll understand when you've gotten good at drawing your own things and have people "borrowing" from you. Keep practicing and one day you won't need to re-draw others' art. | |
| 16 Oct 2002 | Betsy S. Brenk | *talking to rude person above her (Rachel Bebber)* Excuse me, hun, I've viewed both of your gallerys and I've seen nothing of the least bit alike. Maybe she does need to practice but I think you need to do a bit of practicing yourself. For instance, the whole bitching scene just really didn't cut it... it lacked so much emotion, I started yawning while reading it. There are only so many poses, hair colors, colors, features or clothes in the world. Oh my gosh... I think I redrew your art! OMG! I DREW AN ELF TOO! Not. Big deal. Get a grip. *rolls her eyes*
*now talking to Andrea* Good work, keep it up. Don't ever let anyone put you down like that. If they do... you can let me know 'cause I'm really good in that kinda situation. Oh yeah... speaking now of your drawings... I'll repeat it, though I think the troubles already been established. A-n-a-t-o-m-y. That's your only problem! You've got the imagination and the need to draw. Also, an artist is only as good as his/her tools. I recommend Prisma-color Pencils. You can find 'em at Staples and such. They blend well. ^^ Sorry for the unusually long comment... L8ters | |
| 11 Jan 2005 | Keh'Lahr | Hey there. Good raw start *smiles* I have one suggestion...was rammed down my throat in school. NEVER...NEVER throw anything out you draw.NOTHING. How will you ever look back and learn? As painful as it is for me, I still keep my old "junk" Cheers | |
