Art Hangouts! Where are you based?

[Nyamesis]

yeah something like that, or there's some open ones, but its kind of awkward in there because a lot of people just don't interact or everyone knows eachother already .__.

I do feel like it would be cool to have a tapastic one

[Nyamesis]

Oh yeah I see some people from the tapastic forums in there
Is there some kind of live interaction with that group though? could be a skype chat or hangouts?
Maybe I should pitch it on there :>

[Nyamesis]

ah yeah :> but you first need to have some drawing meets then ^^ I think in my country it is quite limited? So I mostly just find people through the internet and then meet them offline haha~

[sushy00]

yeah I am Susanne
not so much now, I have been busy drawing comics and trying to make a living and such :V

[Nyamesis]

oh gosh >.> grown up life and all that
I haven't been drawing much lately :> just some tiny comics for stress relief haha
I guess we should organize a new meet again sometime! I think I have you on fb?

[glennsong]

I co-run a meetup here in the SF bay area called Drawing Meats. It's not all comics, but a few of us have webcomickers in the group including me. It's mostly to hang out, geek out, and draw (and do group drawing activities).

[purrlpankras]

I go draw with people on Iscribble - I highly recomend it

[Nyamesis]

ahh that's really cool! And yes of course all types of drawing people are welcome :>
Would totally join you guys if I didn't live halfway around the world hahah ^^

[Nyamesis]

Oh yes I have also done Iscribble before! there's some really cool people on there, and also people who draw really well
I just find it really limiting in the tools you can use .3. (I am spoiled with my photoshop brushes now) ^^ So that's why I prefer things like hangouts. But its definitely more fun to collab on iscribble!

[indagold]

I live in the nyc area so I guess that's a good place to meet people if it's a meet up. I use skype for most contacts but I don't really give it out to anyone easily unless I know them. I'm kinda cloistered here, I should talk with people more but eh, I haven't made the effort yet since I suck at figuring out how to be technology savvy and keeping up with it. I'm suppose to be updating my linkedin and using it for jobs and I just ignore it haha...

[purrlpankras]

Yeah uh I don't know if you've been there recently but they've introduced different brushes now. But yeah photoshop is way better.
It's fun to collab and it's good for practise too, people can just help you with stuff right there. And it's full of pros lol

And it's good to get free art... hehhe

[sushy00]

yeah I think I have you on FB indeed!

[Nyamesis]

Ah yes the request boards :> man you're almost making me feel nostalgic about iscribble or something hahah ^^

And no I sure haven't :U new brushes? Omg.
I remember the most advanced thing being the blending tool you got for being a regular xD man I was excited about getting those hahaha~ I should check out the new tools ! :> maybe see you there

[Nyamesis]

PFF true with the technology bit, but also mostly all the social media. I just don't know how to keep up anymore Pfff x.x too many accounts and all.of them are dead.

Hmm I get that you don't want to share info too openly especially not somewhere everyone can see hah ^^ maybe if there is something more tangible like an actual group formed that we can send Pms about skypenames but right now there's nothing just yet .u.

But yeah NYC sounds like a great place to have meets! c: get outta the house! Haha

[Momomori]

I don't... i'm homeschooled and don't have any friends, but even when I did have friends in school, none of them were passionate about art or drawing at all, I was the only introvert in my former group of friends, plus it's hard to for me to talk to people considering I haven't talked to anyone outside my family for almost 2 years now. (sorry for dumping that all on you) maybe i'll see you around the internet though.

[Nyamesis]

Aww don't worry about dumping all of that on me anyway if you want to get to know people around your neighbourhood you can check out sites like meetup.com for some artsy people nearby ( and hope you can meet some cool people!) Other than that, yeah there's a whole bunch of online groups with artists. I guess the people in this forum are mainly artists as well ^^ so yeah hope to see you around the webs :3 and let's see it we can set something up!

[purrlpankras]

Lol, Oh yeah they have a brush tool now o_o

Yeah lol I'm called ZenithZero on there, usually just hanging out in the general boards

[Nyamesis]

Nice! I will see if I can find you on there sometime ^^ if I can recall I think I'm either nyamesis or Moustachio on there

[purrlpankras]

Yeah, wait what really? Lol I know someone called Moustachio on there already o_o

[Nyamesis]

I think there was a second person who started using the name Moustachio because people started confusing me with someone else :l that was when I made a tiny comeback haha xD so yeah I think you probably know the other stache. I think you could use a nickname and a account name?
