Tea Time
Here’s my layout homework for this week. Assignment was to draw a coyote and a goat having tea. I’m liking the idea of making all layout homework a color adventure, and a character design one as well. It’s like… Layout/color theory/character design all rolled into one. Then again, throw in animation and that’s what [animated] filmmaking is all about!– Oh, and story too. Can’t forget that!

Keyboard & a Geeky Goal
So it would appear that my keyboard, after doing much battle with my fingertips, seemingly broke out in mini-battles amongst its inhabitants, the keys.
New Button Swag!
The Button-Bracelet converter allows you to wear any five 1″ buttons together as a bracelet!
The Button-Earrings converters lets you wear a pair of buttons as earrings!
And here are the latest button releases.
Companion Cube Buttons… Sorry, you’ll have to settle for these because I couldn’t figure out the engineering behind a Portal gun.
Tahnee.com
Lo and BEHOLD! The brand-new Tahnee.com[munity] is here!
Besides sporting a fresh, modern look, the new Tahnee.com features an exclusive, Tahnees-only community where members can update their information at any time (a much better system than when I updated bios and photos by hand!) Members can chill in the forums and make contacts with other Tahnees from around the world. The new Hall of Tahnees is self-updating, and orders Tahnees from latest member first. What a good feeling it is to have finally gotten the time to completely rennovate this website.
Algebra
So it dawned on me that life drawing–fine art, in general– is nothing more than algebra.
“But Tahnee! That’s ART, not MATH!” you exclaim.
True, dear reader, in the academic sense– but here’s how I like to look at this. I may be a lousy mathematician when it comes to numbers, but not when it comes to visual algebra.
X = Y.
You’re trying to make both sides equal. Look at this equation in a life drawing session. X = the paper in front of the artist, Y = the model on the stage. The artist is trying to make the page in front of them resemble that model on the stage; trying to make it equal what they’re seeing. When the page’s drawing = the model, or when X = Y, the equation is balanced.
I now declare myself a proficient algebratician.
