HikariWarrior

Heya there! My username may say Hikariwarrior, but you can call me either Hikari or Azuli! Here are some things to note about me

I draw all my art myself, occasionally using references for posture/anatomy.

I will rarely (if ever) use bases. Also, I never trace.

If I'm speaking to someone on here who speaks a different language/can't speak English, I generally attempt to converse with them in their native language via Bing translator as a show of courtesy. ^.^

As said above, if I do speak in a different language, it'll probably be using an online translator of some sort, so please excuse my grammar...

For those of you that want a whole lot of references for human drawings, try here www.posemaniacs.com/ No viruses, no need to sign up, and no need to spend money. It's all free and safe. :D Also check out

I'm not the best at names for pictures, or backgrounds for that matter, and I'm certainly not the best artist, so if you have any constructive criticism, that would be much appreciated C:

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
