How To Draw
Lots of people constantly complain around me- the comments include such sentences such as 'My drawing is terrible!' or 'How do you draw so well?' and, though I understand that it's a compliment in some ways, it doesn't make me feel very comfortable.
Drawing is a great hobby. It allows you to pick up a pencil or pen and literally create any world, any character, or any story, without any words. It is, however, a skill, and like all skills, it requires practice.
If you aren't happy with your drawing skills, the only way to improve them is to practice, and it can be a lot of fun to do that practice, too! I cannot describe the joy I have found in drawing- it is a really rewarding feeling when you create something you're proud of!
As such, I wanted to create a short little guide to teach you how to improve your drawing skills. It'll work- trust me.
Alright, first, just draw something- anything will do! Make sure it's something you like to draw and can do over and over again without getting bored of it. For me, this is any type of animals.
The next step is simply practice. Every day, draw something. There is literally no day within the last few months that I haven't drawn anything on- whether it may be a little doodle or a full-scale drawing!
Over time, compare your new drawings to your old ones. You will see improvement. I promise.
For some extra tips, go on websites such as DeviantArt and find inspiration from other types of artwork. I incorporated a type of eye into my drawing thanks to a video game, and I think it looks pretty good!
Anyway, I bet that was pretty boring, but I hope it was helpful.

The Stock Market
I'd first like to apologize for not posting here recently, things have been hectic.
Anywho, I figured I would talk about one of the ongoing projects in our classroom- the Stock Market Project.
The first thing you need to know about this project is that it takes up the span of six weeks and is the equivalent of spending over 60 hours on a project that isn't even that interesting anyway.
Every day you need to 'invest' money in the stock market. Not ACTUALLY investing money, of course. You're pretending to put money into the market, and you can track it with a digital chart. It sounds easy enough, and that's what we all thought too.
This project is a living nightmare (though not as bad as the History Fair.). What seemed to be a simple assignment turned out to be a really difficult project.
Every week, you need to create a screenshot of your chart. Then, a graph needs to be made of every chart from that point in time. THEN, you need to gather articles for every company you invested in (I had over 65 pages worth!) and write about each of them! Afterwards, you need to put it all in a binder and send it on it's way.
Wish me luck I suppose?
In other news, we got over 30 pageviews from a Russian dating app. (Привет, Pycckий!)
That's a little strange, but sorta cool! Thanks for checking us out.
Bye, everyone!
