Welcome to Bru's Free Commission Thread! Before we get started, here's a little information about me!
Currently, I'm a Freshman in highschool, and I occasionally like to play Guild Wars! There....that should be enough information for you! .

CONTACT INFORMATION!

If you need to reach me for any reason, please use the information below!

HOW IT WORKS!

Signing up for a free commission is easy! First, take a close-up screenshot of your characters face (profile image.....Boosting up your graphics for the screenshot is a huge help if possible!!!) Then, simply drop a post here introducing yourself, your character, and the wonderful screenshots you took!

MY STYLE!

I work exclusively with pencils and paper at the moment, and I only draw portraits of a character's face. I understand that this is somewhat limiting for a commission thread, but hey...its free!

. Below you will see some examples of my work!

My mesmer, Beauty:

She's a wild adventurer, going to all corners of Tyria to draw new maps and see new sights.

I like your pencil style, you've got a knack for light shading.

Heya, I'd love for you to draw my ele =]
Only have this one screenshot of her, hope it's enough ^^

Aeronwen · Dec 03, 2010, 11:12 AM // 11:12

interesting pics ^^ I do like pencil drawings.

I hope you will choose to do my ranger, Aero. A lot of people find her hair too tricky

Why do you use lined paper?

Princess Blades · Dec 03, 2010, 11:39 AM // 11:39

I'd love a drawing of my ele.

Note to all: I have updated the waiting list with the order in which I will complete the commissions!!

@Aeronwen - I used lined paper in the sample drawings because they were all drawn over the course of several algebra classes last year....and lined paper was the only thing I had access to

. The commissions that I complete at home will be done on normal printer paper.......P.S. don't worry, you'll get on the waiting list once I have finished a commission! I haven't forgot about you!!

ummm as a maths teacher I can't applaud your attention span in lessons. I do hope your algebra did not suffer.

I think it depends on the students... some kids just remember better when their hands have something to do. Or if they read about the topic afterwards.
I was always drawing in school, and managed to keep my grades up at the top of the class. I didn't always remember what we did in class, but I found it easier to study things by myself afterwards anyway. I loved learning at school, but I also thought it was the best place for drawing.

We were allowed to listen to music while doing our homework or studying in class. It worked really well for me.

Thistle Xandra · Dec 03, 2010, 06:59 PM // 18:59

I actually cross-stitched in the back in one of my middle school geometry classes. Our geom teacher gave us cross-stitch patterns and material to help her make geometrical patterns representing the 50 states that she found in a cross-stitching book. In retrospect, omgwtfbbq i fell for free child labor D:

I was asked to leave the classroom most days in my sr. yr advanced math (basically calculus) class because I was disruptive to the other students. It worked pretty well for me.

Aeronwen · Dec 03, 2010, 08:32 PM // 20:32

If it really works for you then its fine as long as you dont disturnb the other students ...

*looks sternly at Roen*

Hehe don't worry, I've had straight A's on my report card since 6th grade...But i got my first B+ last term in history...I was sad

And I was not drawing while the teacher was giving lessons. I only had time because I would finish the tests/quizzes/projects like 25 minutes before the other students. Those three sample drawings took my entire 8th grade year, working off and on in school when I had time to burn.

I appreciate your concern though

Sorry. I agree that it's wrong to be a disturbance. I was a jerk as a teen. Less so now, I like to hope. I got As and graduated with honors and got a full ride scholarship to college so I must've been doing something right. But that doesn't absolve me from how awful I was to that teacher.

Pay attention in class.
