Click this to go play a vocab game. It is free and the more you play, the more rice is donated to feed starving people in need of your help!
(How it works? Well, the longer you play the more hits their website gets and the more money they can charge for advertisement and thus the more 'donations' they earn for the rice. They are a non-profit organization! Help out!)

And now here is a tutorial for Hello Kitty, and an example of using a simple slideshow.

I DON'T LIKE
Basically, I think we have to stand on our own two feet and have the strength not to look for excuses. It get's tough, yeah and sometimes tough doesn't even begin to describe it... but don't disgrace those who fight for their lives by cutting yourself as a fashion statement.
Hi my name is Eve, and I am the Moderator here at DrawingNow.com. That means I’m a staff member, one of two. You got my welcome letter when you joined, right? ^_^
A little info about me
My mantra: Never EVER give up. I know it's hard, but you gotta keep on fighting or nothing has been worth it.
Goals: I want to be a digital artist and eventually work with computer animation. My dream is to open up a group home, only one that is a castle. An asylum for older kids in the foster system who have been through bad homes. Ideally it would be on acres of land and built like something on Extreme Makeover Home Edition.
I also want to save wildlife as... well, when I think of an ideal utopia it isn't all buildings and flying cars. I want to see waterfalls and wolves! Birds flying through the air rather than cars, and coyotes rather than housing divisions of cookie cutter homes.
Personality: I believe that everyone deserves a chance and I'm pretty open-minded. Respect me and I'll respect you. Be nice, I'll be nice back. I prefer being nice to people as I grew up with most people being not so nice to me; I know, sob, cry. :-P Whatever, you know? I think money only is as valuable as what you can do with it so I volunteer a lot and I'm never hesitant to spend what little I have when people need it.
In closing: I love helping people so if you're new or just want to talk you can count on me! Thank you for reading.
I guess the biggest issue on the site lately is the
rules
. What are they? First off, this is a site for all ages and abilities and with that said you should not swear, curse, or use explicit/sexual/dirty language on the site. It's far from impossible to conduct conversations without use of offensive language. So be smart. Easy. Next, pictures. Can you post photos? Well, this is DRAWINGnow, so let's say just drawings and cg art, okay? Drawing yourself would be great!
Can I use my photo as my user icon? Yes, but a headshot only okay? Kids under 13 are not allowed on many sites to post pictures, so let's just say headshots only to keep things safe. No matter what age. Try using a school photo or a year book photo, or you can be daring and use your student ID/passport/driver's license photo.
No arguments, this site is supposed to be SAFE. On that note, if anyone asks for a picture or is attempting to get personal information from you then you can report them. They will get a warning and if they do it again they will be banned.
With that, it is not a good idea/ you're not allowed to put up nude drawings/cged works- artistic or not. You'll just make people mad. I understand many art books have you practice by drawing nude models, as do art classes, but some people cannot tell the difference between art and porn so let's just not post nudes, okay?
Good. Easy rules. Now comes one a lot of people don't understand. Thievery. This is NOT photobucket or myspace. To be blunt let me say that unless you drew the picture yourself, you are not permitted to upload it here. We can all google, it's not an impressive ability, stop it.
To sum it all up:
1. Keep the site friendly and appropriate for all ages.
2. Photos should be of faces only, appropriate, and you cannot ask people for them because we don't know who is lying about their age.
3. No nudity.
4. No theft.
Everyone good?
