Guess what! its the 14 day, so that means 2 weeks of learning!, (I cheated on the last one) 2 weeks = 2 full images of achievement! :)

or that

there is no prevision but I'm sure marked will stumble across this thread and fix it right away.(mm i wonder what waterfox is. me want)

This has been an issue with I think any browser, if you look at every submission from a few back (including tigurus's ) we all have no tags. this hasn't impacted how many views we got tho

Banned for assuming i play Candy Crush when i really haven't..

ahh thanks for the feed back, I really needed that cus i didn't know if it was viewable by some people because for me the forum automaticly resized the images to fit. and the raw image would just resize itself to a reasonable size when in raw image form (on chrome). Ill get right to resizing them all to 25% their original size for ease of loading :P give me a few min. I work in such high pixel density to avoid zooming into pixels and not getting detail. my monitor is only 1080p. Edit: Resized them all for ya! :D The thing with learning one thing (the front on view) is that I wouldn't know how to draw characters with poses later on but since you suggested it I'll work on getting the front view perfected to a point. since I would like to draw my friend for his birthday :P. tomorrows image might be a few hours long not just the usual hour. I think the hardest part to learn in drawings is anatomy which im going to dread :cry:

Hio! I'm drago (you can call me Drew if you want) and this is my little journal on how I am learning how to draw. So basicly this whole post will be updated daily to what I decided to draw that day, to avoid making this post huge I'll be putting every image in spoilers (every image is 3000 by 3000 :P) and I'll also provide the pdf file so if you guys would like to open it up in your own Photoshop (with layers) you can go ahead. Here's a little bit of background : Well I have always wanted to draw, I have always loved artwork and watching people draw, do speed art ect. A year back I decided to invest a small bit of money into getting myself something so I can properly draw with on the computer (a drawing tablet), this little thing was called the 'wacom intous small' and funny thing is that I didn't even end up using it for a looong time, and I really dont have a reason for that. However i did use the tablet to play an awesome game called osu! during this year or so.. Now its the present week (back of course) and i recently had a revelation, I like drawing I would say to myself, then why cant I just teach myself to draw! and that is where this came to be! To be honest I have never in my life (17 years) drew (hehe that's my name) complex drawings on paper, and I never really wanted to it just seemed to hard to enhance and if you made a mistake well you will be regretting it. Enough about this onwards with the learning. If you guys would like the .psd and .lip files that i work with (the ones with layers) Go here to download them: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9r7vll7t80cRDJjRlhsOWpnT3M&usp=sharing Allright here is the first day, this is basically from having no drawing knowledge at all, I told tigurus the night before that i was going to attempt to draw the next day, possibly an more enhanced version of my current avatar which I already think is nice but the resolution bugs me. WELL lets just say that it wasn't much of an enhancement. Notes: So first of in this picture I'll tell you how long it took me to draw, it took me 3 hours in total, yup that's right 3 hours to make that monstrosity :P And all i was doing was tracing! Secondly I noticed only after drawing it, that i wasn't using the pressure sensitivity on my tablet, so opacity and smaller stokes and all that nice looking stuff was not implemented XD I was so smart ehh. Third I really hope to come back to this and re draw it with all my might then have it as my avatar :P Second Drawing!! Alright so this was the second day of practising to draw and i was thinking that yesterdays attempt was stupid and the eyes were pathetic so I decided to spend more time with drawing eyes and colouring them correctly, So I went and found myself a nice tutorial on how to do such that and i spent an hour just practising the eyes. Which resulted in this! Notes: well in my opinion I achieved a fairly good looking eye on the second one, I was very glad that I took the time to focus on drawing eyes as it helped out when getting into the faces. Third Day Third Drawing : This time I didn't spend an whole hour to work on this piece. And it really does show, I was working on faces today, especially getting the form right, Notes: That eye on the right (the characters left eye) turned out good, when i drew this I had no idea on how hair works! (always had small hair, never look in a mirror to my ugly face, never paid much attention to others hair XD) Day Four Another Drawing : On the fourth day I decided to have another tackle at drawing that face! It ended up much better. The enlarged eyes made things much easier and the hair was much better than what it was before. Notes: Those pony tails were not easy and I really didn't like the look of them, I tried shading the eyes of the first drawing to see how they looked, they turned out alright. Day 5 Layers: This day i decided to redraw yesterdays drawings again but this time larger and more defined, I quickly got used to drawing good circles, I was surprised myself when i drew that and got a ellipse to see if I got the circle right and it fitted perfectly. Next i used that circle to draw up the girls face. I also started to use lots of layers to make it easier for me (or you) to navigate the workspace, i hid the reference lines in the final shot. Notes: First time using layers so its really easy disable/ enable things. I spend an considerable amount of time making sure everything on this looked correct(1 hour and 45 min) Those eyes 0.0 Day 6 Colouring! : So on this day I was actually at my friends place using my laptop, lucky i brought my tablet along so i could do something, and that was colouring! I spent a really long time just listening to music and colouring in the image, It was really calming :P Note: Shading the hair was the easiest part. getting the colours into every little crack was the difficult part due to drawing with the tablet in my lap on a bed XD Day 7: THERE IS NO DAY 7 FUUU, (sorry i left my tablet cord at my friends place and i was unable to retrieve it during the day XD :() Day 8 The final colouring: So today I just spent the rest of my time to get the colours finished in both eyes and everything else. Note: A lot of layers in this one :P Day 9 Unsatisfactory: Well this day i just decided to go on a whim and draw whatever without a reference at all, just draw from what i remembered from what i did before. Wasn't very good but its understandable because it was on a 45 degree profile which i haven't practised at all. Notes: I had fun just sketching this out. This is a guy... I don't know exactly what makes him a guy except for the hair :P Day 10 Ohh manga studio?: So today i decided to try out a program that is supposed to help with drawing manga as such, since its a new program and i don't even know how to chose colours let alone make something epic I just spent most of this time fiddling around with all the new options. Notes: NO MORE SMALL PICTURES!!! :D Day 11 The Process: Today I had a much better understanding on how manga studio works and started to somewhat document things along the way, This whole piece took me less than an hour to complete, Wow I say. Notes: So as you can see the picture is not perfect, the eye position is still way off :P and I could have spent longer on the hair but it really wasn't needed because I want to move on to a 45 degree portrait tomorrow. Plus I was getting the hang of how the hair flows now Day 12 Nose Bleed: Well today was a weird one, I started to draw a 45 degree portrait and a few minutes later my nose begin to bleed so i had to take a while to calm it down and get it under control. After that you know how you get that weird feeling when you have lost a bit of blood and your brain doesn't function as fast as you think it would, well that's what i experienced and for something that should have only took me 45 min (At the final state that it was in) it took me a hole half an hour longer to draw due to re thinking and drawing over and over the image to make it look right. Note: I also had a few interruptions (I didn't include these in the draw time) that made working on this very inconsistent, getting taken too and from the zone of drawing it quite discomforting, I do not recommend doing that. Day 13 Birthday!: Today was my friend birthday and since he is away in queensland at the moment I thought to myself what could i do for him that would out do buying him something. (cus thats not as thoughtful), and i came up with the idea of trying to draw him. Originally i wanted it to be a picture of him on the beach but I couldn't get any reference images for that, so I settled with his skype profile pic. Notes: This picture took me 5 hours from start to finish, 4 hours was spent coloring, I think in need a better way of colouring. Its so time consuming having to do it all by hand. I started this in manga studio but switched over to photoshop to colour it in due to not knowing how to colour in manga studio. Sam was very happy to receive this as his birthday present. I recorded the first hour but the rest i couldnt due to ram issues when painting in photo shop. Day 14 Worn out: Today I didn't draw anything, i know I'm stupid for not doing so, however I'm looking forward to getting a new drawing tablet tomorrow which will greatly enhance my drawings accuracy and colour balance. Basicly today there was way to much going on in my life to get some time to draw, work, home drama stuff, you know the drill. Day 15 Enhancements: Today I didn't receive that new drawing tablet D: Oh well, I decided to take an older drawing and update it to make sure it has no lines everywhere and touch up my manga studio skills. Generally tomorrow I'll get to figuring out how to properly colour in manga studio. (I re drew the whole thing, Fixed the broken chin and random lines everywhere) Notes: This might just look like a quick re draw, but it wasn't. getting the lines right and redrawing the whole thing was harder than i originally intended it to be, perfectionist nature made me redraw lines more that 10 times.... Day 16 New Tablet: So today I received my new tablet Woo. but there is one huge problem i hate with it... colour reproduction sucks with it. as in when i move the image from one screen to the other (tablet screen to proper screen) the colour completely shifts to a darker hue or something like that. I'll have to look around on how to change that! anyway today I went and practised colouring in manga studio, Turned out really good!, (not finished but I love how the eyes turned out). Notes: As you can see the hair is a deep pink, which on the screen looked like a washed out version of that pink D: Annnd I cant play Osu! with this tablet due to its "energy saving" feature in the pen where it turns of reception if it hasn't touched the screen in a while (EVEN IF ITS MOVING THE CURSOR AROUND -.-) Day 17 Hair Detailing: Today i decided to add a lot of details to the hair of this character, It was kind of tough because I didnt draw enough hair 'splits' in the line art, which is extremely helpful for knowing where to detail the hair. Anyway you guys can judge this :P Notes: I like this new tablet A LOT :D, the colour offset isn't that bad, makes my images pop a bit more on a normal monitor. Skin shading needs to be done next, then this should be finished, um, maybe I should put in a background :P Day 18 On A Roll: I'm really surprised today on how much i got done in so little time! I finished the last piece (twice) and then moved straight onto the next sketch which I don't think is to bad with proportions and stuff. Hope you guys liked the final version of 'the girl with the pink hair' feel free to try and give her a name in the comments! :D looking forward to that. Notes: I'm getting much better at colouring :D Gota love technique tutorials I love those people. Like The Sketch? Does it look aright? Tell me in the comments plz :D Day 19 Look Familiar?: Well Sorry I didn't get much done today :/ wasn't quite in the mood and the program was giving me problems... like selection problems exct. Redefined the lines and did the hair shadings. Notes: I want to try out a new way of shading hair, but it it requires a girl with really long hair XD oh well maybe next drawing. You should know who this is by now. The right arm is out of proportion D: must fix later. Day 20 Busy day: Today i had almost no time draw. was all over the place today, I did this on my laptop. D: so slow, D: so different. I got the skin, (Somewhat) done and preparing for drawing the eyes. Notes: So tired after today and disappointed with what I did (Drawing wize). oh well there's always tomorrow. Day 21 Not Intended: Today I worked on the rest of that image, I ended up finishing it, but not the best way I could, some other time i might revisit this and remake it. maybe in another 20 days. For now i just wanted to get this out of the way in order to draw something that I'm currently interested in and would allow me to practice a certain type of hair shading that makes it look professional Also I like the character I'm going to draw. Notes: Those eyes just don't fit, I couldn't change them this late in development, I really didn't have the patience to change them for the 3rd time in one hour. As you can see some things were rushed, the line art didn't work well with me when colouring I'll fix that next time. Day 22 Two Sketches: Today I'm going to start some bigger so to begin with I sketched out Two different images, for it. Yes Omar I'm working on things other than just the face. Hope you like the sketches Notes: I like the second one much better,(more clothing seems fun) These are really rough but again its just a sketch :D Tell me who this is and you win a cookie in the comments! Day 23 Defining Line: Well Today's task was quite straight forward, however it took me an exceptionally long time due to making sure that ever line was perfect. I didn't want to have any problems with colouring this time. Overall it took me a good hour and a half. Oh and the community thought this was the better sketch so I'll be working on this one first before moving onto the other, Even though I like the second one more. Eh It was a vote overall. Notes: I'm sure that there is absolutely no line that is not correct, If their is Ima go die D: Colouring will be much faster this time around because of the line work is perfected. Hopefully. Day 24 Hair Technique: Man! Drawing hair today was really hard, I don't think I'm that good yet but I tried. Hope you like it. Notes: The best part of the shading was on her right side of the hair, (our left) This took extremely long XD. Day 25 Shading: Today I did the skin and the accessories, I took extra time trying to fix mistakes i made along the way. Notes: I tried to make my own shading style but im not ready for that yet i think. Clothing would be the hardest to colour and shade.... Day 26 Finished Character: YAY, Finally got that character finished. I spend extra time today doing the eyes. Man I found out an awesome way to do eye spectaculars. All without a tutorial!. Hope it looks good to you guys. Notes: I cheated a little with shading the clothes, I didn't need to do any creases as such. I hope this looks good on normal monitors, I have funky colours on mine XD. Day 27 Not much: Today I was really busy being called into work and all, so I couldn't get much time to work on the drawing... all i got done was cleaning up the background lines and fixing a few shading pieces that i missed the first time though. Notes: Yea The lines are not even perfect oh well, I only had 15 min to spare today. Day 28 Broken Streak!:Today, well today was hectic, work was unforgiving, someone called in sick so i had to work extra time that I was going to dedicate to drawing (3 hours of it!!), If you wondering where the rest of my time goes to, well its school work... Sorry for not having anything today, I'm going to finish of that drawing tomorrow and possibly start defining the lines of the other sketch because I really like that sketch. Day 29 Squished for time: Today I was very squished for time and i spent every little amount of time i had on this, (1 and a half hours before i went to bed) So i go the background done, However i need to add the fog which will IMO enhance the image that much more. My hand hurts from trying to shade so much. XD Notes: My pen is running out of battery and its was annoying the crap out of me when trying to draw lines/ coloring in. Day 30 Finally Done!: Today i finally finished of that drawing that i have been working on for the past week, I believe that it turned out quite good :D hope you guys like it too, also today I got the defining of the second sketch done :D < this just gets easier and easier every time i do it. Notes: That fog i used was from rpgmaker XP :D <3 rpgmaker The defining of the lines on the last picture isn't as defined as it could be but it does the job. Omar Alerted me to the possibility that i might run out of characters D: Hope this doesn't happen soon! Day 31 Too much: There has been alot happening today so i really didn't have much time to do this, so i just fixed up and added a few things to the define lines i did last time, should look better. Notes: No Time D: Fixed up the hair, hood and eye a tad. Day 32 Over a Month!: Well I did it! I broke a record, Usually when I pick up something the novelty of said activity wears out within a month, but for me now drawing is literally something that i cant bring myself to leave without feeling empty for not drawing for that day, It's properly integrated into my routine! I couldn't have done it without your support as a forum of great and helpful people! Aside from that fact! An awesome person came to our school today, He was an concept artist who teachers a school in Adelaide and we were lucky enough for him to come down, explain what he did and how he got into his kind of position, its funny how you can start off wanting one thing in life and ending up receiving something else that fits you much better. And he even did for us a 20 min full concept art painting. It took him only 20 min to finish a whole painting D: goes to show how much practice can do. Anyway today I worked on getting the colours right, no shading yet that's for tomorrow, I learnt a few new tricks from that guy which i used to speed up my work flow :D It really works. Notes:Notice less white streaks next to the outlines, I found a way to fix that I have started to use reference layers, Much Much better than using the wand tool -.- Also I'm testing out values in this picture as well. the whole image will change in tone at the end. Day 33 Shading again: Today i got the shading done, Not to hard, had a few troubles getting the face back lit. the hair may look weird at the moment but you will see what i envisioned it to be soon. I Also re done the eye. Notes: They eye colour is a little too light, I'm unsure on how to fix this cus simply overlaying it wont do the trick D: Day 34 Birthday!: Today is my birthday! Wooo, Sorry no drawing today but i have just been to busy, You know, hope you guys don't mind if i take one day off. :D Day 35 Recovery: After the night of the birthday party i was sooo tired however i was not going to stop drawing, no way. So today i finished off the drawing, added effects and things, fixed the eye color cleaned some lines. had some fun. Note: Now to return to my work...... Day 36 Just Eyes: Today I couldn't think of something to draw, however afterwards after surfing the interwebs i found something that took my interest! I'll try that out tomorrow. If not ill practice values cus i suck at them. Notes: One of theses eyes I didn't draw from reference, guess what one (not the line one) Day 37 Blog: No Drawing today, I couldn't find any inspiration at the moment. however i spend the time working overtime on the blog. up to day 13 on that. (I can't simply copy and paste it....). Ima try painting next time, (I haz a book D:) Day 38 Values: Today I wanted to have a new take on drawing, Soo this means painting! (i cant fucking draw yet what am i doing!) well I'm just trying new things, I tried doing quick values. (im sure i completely stuffed it up lots, I just went from memory) Hopefully you get the general direction where the painting is going. Notes: I have a thing for characters in long clothing.. I like long clothing XD and the cold XD. This image is TOO BIG, like its huge... Day 39 Values Again: I'm still playing around with values... I'm doing some clean up and defining, ill probably have to do this multiple times before i color it.... still i need to get the values right.. Notes: values are hard... Day 40 Lazy: Yup.. I'm Lazy Day 41 Looking better: Today I didn't touch the character instead i focused on getting the background and foreground looking good. I think you will agree that it looks better now, I had to switch back to photoshop for this.... Notes: Yes I finally see whats wrong with this piece. the perspective is wrong! I'll get to fixing that. Phew I caught up Day 42 Didn't Catch up: Well, There isn't much i can say about missing this day out, except that i was working most the day... Day 43 Character progression: Today i spend a lot of time touching up the character to make "it" (im not telling you what gender it is ill let you guess) Also i went and made the background look a bit better, I'll get to making it look great later on, Notes: Notice the motion blur on the snow to make it look like the wind is in a certain direction I'll fix that perspective soon enough Day 44 Polishing and cleaning: The title explains its all, All i can do at the moment is polish up what I already have, make it look nicer. If you wondering what i did, here is a list, Fixed a whole lot of values in the glacier, defined the sword, gave the foreground an outline. Notes: I'm unsure on how to proceed and fix the perspective, I'll figure it out. I know i still missed a bit of values in the glacier Day 45 Sketch...: Today i wasn't in the mood for drawing so i just drew without any reference. At this moment I was extremely tired so i didn't expect much, I was quite bored of the painting that i have been working on. Notes:I was tired ok. Day 46 BRUSHES!!!: Why didn't i think of this before! Custom brushes are amazing! Today i was researching some art things and i saw custom brushes for photoshop.. since i used manga studio i looked for some there as well and lo and behold there was heaps!I wish i did this to being with, Oh and i used the brushes to color (simply) the scene. Notes: I loved drawing the sky/clouds with the new brush! I also used a cube brush and a bristle brush so far in this image. Day 47 Where the update!: Sorry guys, there has been a lot happening lately, since my school year is finishing up i need to spend a crap tone of time working on school work, This is just redefining the sword which will take time to paint. Notes: THOSE LINES ARE JUST FOR GUIDES. shh omar for now :.P Day 48 Fathers Day: today was a lazy day... Day 49 Perspective Practice: Today i thought to myself that i need to learn some more fundamentals such as perspective, So today i decided to practice that! Since Manga Studio comes with a perspective grid this exercise is easy. Creating block shapes ect. were easy however making sure everything is in the right perspective, as in height compared to other objects was the learning part. I ended up trying out 2 different images, the first one with 2 vanishing points, the last with 1 vanishing point. I will try 3 vanishing points tomorrow. Notes: With the first picture those sticks next to the buildings on the right are human height, the one on the left is power line height, The 2 vanishing point one is noticeably better than the 1 vanishing point due to better perspective. 3 will be better than 2 I hope. That new brush i'm using is a tad different than what im used to, it will take me a little to get used to. Day 50 I tried: Well its day 50! that's right half a century, ya think i can get to 100! Aside from that Today i worked on a scene i thought up in my head, for something that zahraa recommended, however whatever way i tried I was disappointed with my work, I spent ages working on the one that should have only took me a few min to make, im unsure on how to draw clothing D: Note: The assist is a 3d model placed over the image allowing me to trace the proportions correctly. however placing it there is a pain and is extremely hard to move joints, who designed that.! I used a 3 point perspective this time around, I'm unsure of why it won't do what i want... 2 point seems a lot easier Now i just need a character as a reference. again i'm unsure if i should draw a male or female. Males are so much harder however I already started the male hair and used a male figure. It took me 40 min longer to draw the assisted one WTF D: 51 Ummm: I have no idea what happend that day Day 52 Blue Screen!: FUU, today after drawing for a good 40 min my computer decided to blue screen D:, what about auto saves you say... well i use manga studio unlike photoshop doesn't support auto saving which is a pain in the but... Anyway i was just working on the face. Sorry for no image. Day 53 Modeling: Heyya sorry for not uploading this quickly but lately i have been working on a 3d project, (3d modeling and visual effects is something i have practiced for a good 3 years) If you know who this is you win a cookie! YES i know this is not a drawing but i really wanted to do something else for a few days, I hope you would understand. Notes: At the moment she is lacking a rig, I will do that when i learn how to rig (tonight) I tried my hardest to make the visual effects look nice, tell me how it looks. The Image quality has been hindered due to exporting it as a jpg, the fuzzyness is not apparent in a png render however it gets rid of the black background which makes her seem out of place. Day 54 Rigging: I have been working on the rig for that character i made yesterday. It is almost done however i need to rig all the accessory's and hair. Sorry for no picture of it, I will not be posting updates on this because this is a drawing journal not a modeling journal, however it was something to do while i had nothing to draw with Day 55 Clothing: Today i finally got home so i can draw again WEEW, I defined the face and tried drawing the clothing, i think i did a good job D: hopefully you guys like is so far. Notes: I couldn't draw the second hand and ear sorry, don't have time tonight! Day 56 Incoming!: Lots of school work incoming so I will not have time to write a full description as it is not necessary You can see the changes right? Notes: Need to draw the hands! Day 57 Hands and zippers: Hey, Today i finished of drawing the line art for the clothes, im no good at hands and zippers but oh well... Notes: I haven't done the feet yet, that's next then for coloring from the head down! Day 58 Cover Design: Today I went a little spree of looking for custom skins for my phone, However i came to the conclusion that i could make my own art put on my phone, Here is what i came up with. (Inspiration from the Xperia SO-04E ME) Notes: I should have done this in a much higher resolution, however what is done is done.. Day 59 Homework galore!: Title speaks for it self, I'll continue drawing when i can. Day 60 The Wrath continues: Today i once again couldn't draw anything, spending time on assignments till 11pm from 4pm is so annoying,thank you school. The skin is being shipped to me today! here is a preview of it. Notes: I will send pictures of the skin on the device when i get it. The skins name is called mirai. If you would like me to make you one for you specific device just ask me. Day 61 Art Styles: Finally the weekend so i got to draw again, So today i drew something that someone requested, It wasn't something I was used to so It may not look perfect but i hope you guys like it to Notes: MGS Style. with heavy shading. I did values alright in this one Day 62 Take 2: So thinking that if i was to ask for a piece of art i would like to have a choice of multiple images, so i decided to go ahead and draw 1 more displaying a slightly different style (It comes in to flavors) Notes: These ones are very big, unintentional. the program i used for quartering the size must not of worked D: I like the eyes in this one but the rest kinda didn't work out Day 63 Back to the other drawing: Time to return to finish the drawing i started a while ago. I added color and fixed up the face. the color is just base colors, shading will come soon enough. Notes: Still no feet lol Day 64-67 Exam's and after math.: Well the exams are finally over! woo. 1 more year till the end of high school then, well i don't know then, Ill have to see after that!. So i did a little more of the image above. Note: Changed the hair color lol, and added lighting to the characters face and hair. I like having a reference of where the light is coming from. Day 67-79: Hey hey, sorry about no updating this in over a week, for those thinking that I stopped drawing, I can tell you I have not! I am continuing to draw every single day, however the things i am drawing right now are for a reason, so i cannot show them all off. It has been extremely good for my learning though, drawing things that i would never draw normal but practicing it will always make me better. I have asked if i could share something and i was permitted to share one image of many. (this was done in one day such an improvement from the multi day drawings i had to do) Notes: Not much, And that's all the way up to right now! Just remember to come back every day to see my latest work for the day. Now go back up and compare the last image to the first image, that is how much as little as a few days/weeks can do to your work. If you would like to comment on all this go ahead! suggestions, feedback and anything else is great to have you can even ask me questions if you would like to know some basic things before you start drawing ect. Have fun in that comment section! So I am going to say it again, I will update this daily, and will comment on this thread once a week to make sure you guys know its updated with another 7 images. If this is a problem just tell me :D UPDATE 1: I re-sized all of the images to 25% their original size to make it easier to view on the forum. you can still access the full files here:https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9r7vll7t80cRDJjRlhsOWpnT3M&usp=sharing UPDATE 2: LOL apparently i cant use more emotions oh well. UPDATE 3: My google drive has been updated with a readme just stating a few things about these images, such as public use and what things i use to draw ect. Go check it out!.

As much as i am inexperienced in creating games i can try and offer something of use to you. I would consider over using grammar, and reading the sentences out loud and what would you add to make it obvious what you are trying to say without moving your body a inch. eg. Michael: Maybe he just doesn't want is little sister to get stronger than him. hmm? *half joking* Cathy: Maybe?... *Also joking. Doesn't actually believe it at all.* Basicly think of human speech and replicate it the "Hmm?" at the end is usually a signal of jokingness between friends as you nudge their shoulder telling them that girl is hot or something. Also the "Maybe?..." can be read as a drawn out maybe with Cathy rolling her eyes. Hope this helps. This might sound stupid but this is how i view things :/

I had a look at the demo and here are my suggestions and thoughts. Intro is good, however one of the sentences is a bit weird to read "deserve to live and live life to the fullest." you might want to re do that sentence even because its a little weird to read the first time though.... my thoughts. Also you might want to make the intro more like a proper cutscene so you wouldn't require user input. so you could go into more details with it (like LIGHTNING!!!) like you can show images on the screen in which appear and disappear as text (you can also fade and move/stretch them :P) just make sure the image is transparent everywhere other than the text. The first room is cool (pokemon) you might want to make the nurses movements more realistic like waiting for move completion and 10 frames and playing a door (elevator) sound effect as she enters the room, before she turns right to go to Mr. Tashi. That give the impression of someone walking into a room getting the sense of the surroundings before continuing on their path. This is very common in the pokemon games and many other rpg games. (I love this effect) Since the demo itself is has less than a minute of gameplay in it (no time actually controlling the character) its hard to suggest many improvements just keep persisting with the project and you will eventually make a great game. Never hesitate to join the chat and ask us for help and opinions :D

Moonpearls ACMS does this very well and that requires a literal ton of code to get it to work correctly. Without this prerequisite script it will be extremely hard to make an menu animated easily. I'd advise trying out his scripts and work with them.

There in lies the problem. Is there even a way for the RPG Maker Engine to look into the system time? There are things like Moon pearl's Daily life script that accurately emulates and keeps track of time, however it doesn't work when the game is off...

I see, yea it could be used to test music/audio in a post-production environment. good thinking marked XD I would have never thought of it that way.
