In this
section of anime, I used the computer to color my pictures. No, I didn't use the paint program (even though I use to), but
I used a cd program called "Photodelux Home Edition," and I'm doing most of my coloring with that. I've heard of other
computer cd programs that are really good and are used by a wide variety of people, who draw anime, like "Photoshop" and "Flash
MX." I've downloaded a trial version of "Flash MX", but I can't figure out how to use it. Some of these pictures are a mixture
of pencil and computer. I like coloring on the computer cause it makes good highlights.

This turned out better than I expected. I was trying some new things on photodelux and it looks really good now. I originally
did this pic in colored pencil, but I went in and added highlights in the hair and face and I made the whole picture softer-looking.
Oh, by the way, this is Nuna from my story Lunocrist.

This is Nuna and Kato from my story "Lunocrist". I think it's a cute pic, but it took me forever to do.
The first time I colored it, the program (that I use to color my pics) formed an illeagal opporation and I had to shut it
down right when I was done....and of course I hadn't saved it. Ugh, oh well, I think it turned out better the second time
I colored it.

I stayed up really late doing this one. I didn't know what colors to use at first, but it came out nicely.
My most favorite part of this pic is probably to eyes and the jewel on the necklace thing.

This is a person I drew in geometry. Heehee. I had to ajust the fingers because it looked like she was flipping
someone off lol.

Lol. Don't ask me what I was thinking when I drew this one. Well, I thought she was cute anyway. However, I messed up
on the right leg. Oh well.
This one was inspired by a MMORPG called Astonia that I played for a while. Fun game actually. Anyway, the flower
has meaning but I'm not telling hahaha :P

This is a scene from my first story. The little girl is Shezara and she's riding on Dyntai's back as they try to escape
the planet as it explodes in the background. I colored it on the computer obviously, and it turned out pretty good, but I
could have put in a better effort in coloring the rocks; however, my eyes kinda got tired after 3 hours of gazing at the computer
screen.
This little girl is Shu from my second story, which is a sequel of the first one. I did this one with pastel pencils
at first, but I touched it up a little on the computer.

Just a random character. The hair looks kinda flat and 2D. I was aiming for more of the 3D look like her suit.

This one turned out better than I expected. I messed up a little on the halo, but everything else turned out pretty well.

This is a character from the prequel of my first story that I haven't finished (imagine that). Her name is Adina. You've
probably already figured that out. The thing I liked most about this pic is her face--it brings out her character a little.

This was never a scene in my story, but I think it's kinda cool looking.

This is one of my first pics that I did with Photodelux. It looks pretty good actually. By the way, it's Shezara.

I was inspired long ago by an anime called Sailor Moon. I was proud of this one lol.

Sorry there was so much space below this pic. Anyway, this is Lee from my first story. It's an old one and you can tell
cause I don't draw eyes like that anymore.
Here
is the anime that I did in colored pencil and pastel. Most of it was from a long time ago except for the top pics. I didn't
thing that anime would look all that good with pastel, but now, I think I like using pastel better than colored pencils. You
get more depth with pastel. I recomend "Conte" pastels or "General's Drawing Pencil Kit". Both are really good and easy
to handle, because the pastels are put in the form of pencils. "Conte" pencils (the kind I use) have wider lead and come out
more gritty than "General's" pastel pencils. Read the bottom of the picture if you want to know what I used to color it.

This one was done for my English teacher. I did it with pastel, and it looks a lot better face to face.
This was the cover picture of my first story.

Bunnies! lol I think I was bored when I drew theis one. I drew the girl's face first and then decided to
put bunnies in it.

This is me and the main characters from my first story in chibi style. It took me a while to finish it, but it came out
great.

Chibi Lee and Shezara! ^_^ I didn't know whether to add the flowers in the background or not, but I did anyway
cause it needed somthing in the background. I could have spent more time on the flowers but it's cute anyway.

I liked drawing this character, but in this picure I probably should have put a surface under the girl, so it would look
like she was sitting on somthing. I didn't really like the blue color that's on her hair, but I thought it looked good with
the brownish color of her skin.

These are my only black
and white anime pics. I usually don't draw a whole lot of anime sketches, but when I do, I draw them with HB or 2H sketch
pencils. Sometimes, I will draw them with the regular no 2 pencils, but I don't really like using mechanical pencils unless
I'm drawing a sharp or fine line. I can't remember what kind of pencils I used to sketch these pictures, because these
are pretty old, so I can't tell you what I used.

This is just a little sketch I did of some girl surrounded by wires and other stuff. The posters on the wall are
posters of various anime shows, and the poster lying on the floor is of a j-pop band called "The Pillows".

This is Nuna from my story "Lunocrist". She loks kinda different than usual in this pic cause I was experimenting with
her image. I like the armor the most about this pic.

This is Shu and Kierin from my sequel of my first story. Shu is the little girl and Kierin is the boy. This one turned
out really well over all.

This is Nuna from my story "Lunocrist". Her hair isn't really anime style, but I just wanted to do somthing different.
This is more of what she looks like than the other sketched picture I have of her. "Lunocrist" takes place in an MMORPG that's
why the screnery is unusual. There's a meaning to the ocean, but I'm not gonna tell :P

This is a scene from my sequel of my first story. Lee and Julian. Lee's listening to a conversation going on in the room
next to their room. If you're wondering what those black marks are on the wall with the window, they're drawings that Julian
has drawn. I think he needs some paper.

This is the updated pic of Shezara (you should know which story she's in by now lol). It's actually not this dark,
my scanner just kinda messed it up. Well, at least you can actually see the pic now. To answer a couple of questions I get
about this pic: No, she is not stabbing herself with the sword. The sword is sheathed. She is just holding it close to her.
Yes, she does have hands. They are just covered by the long sleeves.

This isn't any specific character. You can probably tell it's an old one. She's a biker kitty person thing I guess. Call
her whatever you want.
