Here's a thread where everyone with a scanner can post their artwork!!!!
I don't know who loves to draw on this site, but this's a good way to find out! I sometimes draw how I would imagine characters in books to be... Like Piper McClane (sp? I listened to it on audio) ... Annabeth Chase... Yes, I love Percy Jackson, and no, I cannot draw boys

Sorry, Snake! SusyQ's post was right above yours so I somehow got your names mixed up. Sorry. What I meant to ask was: Snake, can you teach me how to draw a totally awesome 3-D thingy?

OK, so, the printer and scanner are one thing at my house, and it's not exactly in good shape currently, so I will do my best to explain without pictures. Oh, and it's not totally 3D, but it kind of is, if you look at it a certain way...
1. Get a ruler, and on white printer paper draw a diagonal line that is however many centimeters you want it to be. (It does have to be an even number of centimeters, though.) Then turn the paper around, and draw another line across the paper, making an X. BOTH LINES MUST BE THE SAME LENGTH. That's very important. The X's points should be pointed toward the corners of the paper, and its middle should be at the exact center of both lines.
2. Using the ruler, mark off each centimeter on both lines, so that the lines have evenly spaced dots on them. For instance, if you made a line 8 centimeters long, it would look like this:
•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•
9 dots, one for the starting point (zero) and 1 for each centimeter. Or if you made one that was 24 centimeters (like I like to) you would end up with 25 dots. Make sense?
3. Once you drawn all of the dots for each line, use the ruler to connect them (here's the confusing part). You have to connect the dot closest to the middle on line 1, to the dot farthest from the middle on line 2. So looking at the X, the top half of the X looks like a V, right? In that V, you connect the farthest from the middle dot, to the closest to the middle dot.
4. Then proceed to connect the second farthest dot to the second closest dot, then the 3rd farthest to the 3rd closest, 4th farthest to 4th closest, etc.
5. Once finished, turn the paper so that your X is sideways. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. Turn paper again so that you X is upside-down, repeat 3 & 4.
7. Turn paper AGAIN, repeat 3 & 4.
8. Now all your dots should be connected to each other as described in steps 3 & 4. You can color your shape, or leave it un-colored. :) I hope you understood what I was saying, and I will post pictures to go with each step after dad fixes the printer/scanner this afternoon.

Cool, geometrics! Just wondering, what brand is your printer/scanner? We used to have an HP one, but it had a very long and tragic... what's the word? Backstory? Whatever. My grandpa works at HP, so he gave it to us. It was horrible. Anyway, it's still our scanner, but we also have a sleek new black printer.
How can your dad fix a printer if he's a snake?

Charlotte: YOU CAN DRAW DRAGONS????? I drew a decent dragon once. ... but since then I have never been able to draw dragons!
I am also very bad at drawing boys!!! If I try to draw a boy, he ends up looking like a girl!!!

Will someone mind telling me how to post pictures on the CB?
(September 25, 2011 - 4:13 pm)
To get pics on the CB you have to upload them to an online image hosting site like photobucket or image shack. Then copy and past them here :)

OMG you are an awesome artist!!!!
(September 27, 2011 - 6:00 pm)
What do you mean the last one was not your original idea? And did you trace it or something? Now I'm afraid to try putting mine on here because they look really bad compared to yours...!!!!

I can't really draw big. Most of my pictures are about an inch high. If they're people or animals. I also do random architechtural drawings, usually in some corner of my notebook. I have drawn the library across from my school at least twenty times, and various overheads multiple times. Sometimes I'll draw buildings and scenes from random stories in my head.

Sorry, we only see the above sentences!
