Ben’s 3 Step Drawing

Sup-peroo Everybody.

The other day I decided to have a crack at drawing Toon Link from the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. I was overall very happy with the end result.

Here’s the stuff:

First I looked up a picture of Toon Link:

Now I looked at this picture and thought, I don’t want him holding some wand thing, or holding his hand in the air as if he is about wack a fly off his arm.
So I changed the stuff I didn’t like . Here’s my version.
What do you think? I know his face looks different, personally I didn’t like the face on the original so I changed it. But I didn’t stop there. Time to add some colour . . .
Now that he has a coloured appearence he looks alot better! Click on the image to see the full sized image. But I didn’t stop there, I decided to add a background.
I made the background in a more sketchy form so that Toon Link wouldn’t blend into the back image. I also darkened up the lines on Toon Link and Navi (the little floating thing to the right of his head) to ensure that when you look at the picture you see Link more than the background behind him.

You go have a go! It’s pretty fun!
Remember click on the pictures to get a fullsized image,
You can download them if you want.
I have the finished one on my mantlepiece now.

See Ya!

RuneScape Money Tip

Hey, wanna hear a making money secret?

First go to the grand exchange and buy 200 dry clay. You heard me right. Buy the clay.
Now go and make this clay soft clay with buckets or bowls in Varrock at the Eastern Bank.
Fill up the bowls or buckets by going to the fountain nearby filling the bowls up then banking them.
Make the soft clay and go back to the Grand Exchange.
Sell your clay and you will get twice the amount of money that you payed for them.

Happy Making!

Last Request- Paolo Nutini

Song- Last Request
By- Paolo Nutini
Lyrics-

Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it’s just you and me.
Don’t sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let’s get closer tonight

[chorus:]
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don’t shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we’re going nowhere,
But one last time let’s go there,
Lay down beside me

Oh, I’ve found, that I’m bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realise all about your lies
But I’m no wiser than the fool I was before.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let’s get closer tonight

[chorus]

Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?

[chorus x2]

Yeah, lay down beside me.

One last time let’s go there,
Lay down beside me
[ Last Request Lyrics from http://www.lyricsmania.com/ ]

 

Review- I really like this song, but it depends on what version of the song you get. Paolo Nutini isn’t very well known but trust me go check out his songs and you’ll be surprised.

A Promise

Now when you ask someone to do something for you, like not give something to someone, not to post that picture of you on MySpace. etc.
Then they say, “Okay, I won’t.”
You feel though you can trust them, they promised they wouldn’t.
But then a week later they kick it all in your face.
You find they did exactly what you asked them not to.

Now if you asked them not to do it for a reason, lets say there are people in the photo that haven’t given permission to be posted on a website, or there are people in a video that haven’t granted permission for other people to watch it.

Even with all this.

It doesn’t matter.

All that matters is you went against my word, you said, “Okay I won’t,”
Both of you did.

And yet you went against my word, thinking, ‘Its okay, he won’t know.’

Well I ask,

Would it be okay for me to post pictures of you on websites and not tell you, oh, of course, you think its okay, as long as you don’t know.

Would it be okay for you to ask me not to post a video of you on YouTube and I say okay, but then go and do it anyway.

So much for that trust.

I hope your reading. You know who you are.

And even if your not the person I’m talking about.

Learn from it.
