# About me


Heyyyy. I'm Fi, and I like to draw stuff. ;w; I am working most of the time and exhausted the rest of the time, so nearly all comments are disabled. I've started allowing them again on my more recent pictures because I realised I was missing out on valuable critique! I am quite slow in my responses and even more sporadic when posting art though, so please bear with me. ;w; Hope you like my art! C:

Hello, hope you don't mind me asking but.. how do you use fonts on deviantART? ^^"

Fiona-Maria In reply to CaptianMandyBearr [2013-06-23 16:02:28 +0000 UTC]

Do you mean in your comments and stuff or using actual fonts people have made on here? ^^

If you mean in your comments, I don't actually know myself! I don't think you can. @_@ (Sorry if that's not very helpful!!)

If you want to install fonts, just download the font from the deviation page and follow this tutorial: [link]

Hope this helps! ;w;

Yusss! You were the one who recommended it if I recall~ ;w; (Thank you so much for doing so omigosh <3333) Noooo, I haven't! 8D /googles Ffff it sounds good~ ;w; I'm gonna have to check that out!!
I hadn't realised Strobe Edge had finished until really recently, so I went and finished reading it. x'D I need something new to read~ 8'DDD

Eeee be warned I sat and stayed up like all night reading it :'DD Her mangas are always so gripping and the art is gorgeous! * q*
I don't actually think I finished Strobe Edge, but it's one of those I can't-remember-exactly-where-I-am things and I don't fancy hunting through it right now, but it's definitely something to do eventually. * U*

Fiona-Maria In reply to Iapin [2012-11-11 16:42:03 +0000 UTC]

Oh gosh I know what you mean! I tried to savour Strobe Edge, but I ended up having a total reading binge towards the end. x'D I had to know what happened next, lol.
Yeahhh I was the same. ;w; I ended up reading it from the beginning again tbh. Though to be fair, I had absolutely nothing else to do at the time, hahaha. x'D
But yeah it'll be good to have something to fill time again haha~ XD I started watching Sword Art Online after I finished Strobe Edge. I loved it at first but then it got pretty clichΓ©. Though idk if I'd just been spoilt by SE ;w; πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 0

I love your Manga You're so very talented ^^ Do you think you could give me a few tips? Oh! And I wanted to ask you, how did you design the cover? I would love to create my own Manga as well

Fiona-Maria In reply to MasuyoAraki [2011-09-11 15:34:32 +0000 UTC]

(Sorry for the wall of text here! )

Thank you so much! ;w;

As for tips, this will probably sound boring, but I think the best thing to do when making manga is to plan it out carefully. It'll make it so much easier when you come to draw it! I have a little tutorial that might help with this: [link]

Another thing that will help (I've said this in the tutorial but I'll just say it again lol XD) is drawing your main characters as many times as possible. The more you draw them, the easier they'll become to draw and the better you'll get at drawing consistently. I find a fun way to do this is to draw mini sketch comics - that way, you'll also be practicing putting things in comic form.

There are loads of great resources and tutorials over at #Manga-Apps , too! I'd really recommend joining and having a look through their stuff.

As for the cover, to be honest I didn't have to do much designing, since I just based it off the original Fruits Basket comic covers. XD As for how I actually made it, I first drew the lineart in Manga Studio (a great program for drawing manga if you're able to get it, though it's a little difficult to get used to - but Photoshop or Gimp can be used fairly easily instead if you want.) and then coloured in Photoshop. After I finished, I played around with Photoshop for a bit to do the background and title. I don't want to bore you with the details, though, unless you actually want me to. XD

Oh you're not boring me I really love this sort of thing. It's just I was curious of how you got the title font

Ah! Well, I couldn't find a Fruits Basket font, so I traced the original.
