A Game I Like

Hi guys I just wanted to talk to you about a very good game I've been playing recently. This games name is Dark Souls 3. This game is by far the best game in the trilogy. This is also probably one of my favorite games ever. Dark Souls III is an action role-playing video game. It was created by the company FromSoftwhere and Bandai Namco. In this game there are ten diffrent classes. Theses classes are the Knight, Mercenary, Warrior, Herald, Theif, Assassin, Sorcerer, Pyromancer, Cleric, and Deprived. To Make it simple I will be talking about the class I mainly play which is Sorcerer. In the beginning of the game the Sorcerer starts off with a Mail Breaker, Sorcerers Staff, Leather Shield, Young Dragon Ring, Soul arrow/ Heavy soul arrow, and normal Sorcerer armor. The game play of this game is amazing and I highly recommend playing it. There are still so many things not yet discovered about this game. Well... that was me talking about Dark Souls 3 I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you guys one day play it.

A Game I like

Hi guys I've been wanting to talk to you guys about  really cool game that I recently found out about and have been playing. That game is called Monaco Whats yours is mine. Monaco is a stealth action video game, and was made by the company Pocket watch Games. The game is pixelated and the camera in which you see from is a overhead view. In this game you are suppose to accomplish a goal like hack into a company or steal a special item from people. You can choose from eight different classes, which are the Locksmith, Pickpocketer,  Cleaner, Lookout, Mole, Gentleman, Hacker, and the Redhead. My favorite class is the Gentleman, because when he is hidden he is able to disguise himself as an enemy guard. This game is also a multiplayer game with multiplayer missions. If you are playing multiplayer mode the players choose from different classes, and all work together to accomplish the same goal but each class also gets a side mission. I hope you guys enjoyed this small post about Monaco, and I hope you guys will be able to play it.

Eighth Drawing Blog: How to Draw a Dog part 2



Step 1: Draw the dogs teeth making it smaller the closer you get to the two original teeth. Make sure the tooth furthest away from the two teeth at the very end of the dogs mouth is rounded. Add small rounded circles between the dogs two big teeth at the end of his mouth. Start drawing darker lines on the inside of his mouth going towards his snout.

Step 2:  Start drawing long lines on the back of the dogs head making fur. Now start to draw small short lines on the dogs snout. This will make the dogs tiny snout hairs. Start drawing small lines under the dogs left eye going towards the left. After that go back to the dogs snout, and continue making the snout hair longer the closer you get to the dogs eyes. From the bottom left corner of the snout start drawing lines going downwards and make it attach to the hair on the left side of the dogs face. On the dogs nose draw a small sideways "s". At the end of the S, curve it to make it a circle. Darken the outside of the dogs eyes and draw a big circle on the left side of the eye. Darken the rest of the eye that is not part of the circle. Add a small oval to the top of the circle making the pupil, do this to the other eye. Draw small circles on the dogs snout from these circles draw thin lines going towards the left making the dogs whiskers. Draw small patches of fur on the dogs chin going downwards towards the left. Shade in the entire area that is above the patch of fur that is over the eyes. Darken the lip of the dogs mouth. Start drawing small lines under the dogs ear making fur. erase the original circle that we used to make the dog. Darken the dogs nose and its tongue. Start drawing the dogs fur longer, and making it attach to other pieces of fur. Darken some random patches of the dogs fur, and darken the eyes a bit more. You are now done with your drawing of a dog.

More Games I like



Hi guys I wanted to talk to you guys about a game that I really like. This game is called Rocket League. Rocket League is a soccer game, but you play as cars. This game caught my eye the second it came out, and at that moment I had to buy it. I got this game on steam, but you can get it on the Ps4 and Xbox1. There are multiple kinds of game mode in Rocket League, but I am just going to talk about the normal soccer mode. The game is usually a three versus three game, but there is also a one versus one mode. In this game you get ranked by level, in order these ranks are Rookie, Semi-pro, Pro, Veteran, Expert, Master, Legend, and Rocketeer. This game is really good. You can do all sort of crazy stuff like launching yourself in the air to block the ball from being scored. Anyways in the game you have to score the ball into the enemy's goal to win, and you also have to try to defend them from scoring on your goal. There are a lot of things you can do in this game, and I will let you find them out. I hope you guys end up playing this game it is very fun.

Another Game I like


Hi guys I just wanted to talk about another game that a recently got into. This game is called Counter Strike Global Offensive. I'm sure most of you already know what this game is speaking that it has over 10 million copies sold world-wide, but I'll still be explaining what its like. I will be referring to this game as CSGO during this blog as many people call it. CSGO is a team based action game, and is also a first person shooter. In CSGO there are multiple types of weapons rifles, smgs, heavy, and pistols. There are also a wide assortment of grenades. In Counter Strike there is 5 modes (casual, demolition, death-match, arms race, competitive). To make everything easier I will only be talking about competitive mode. The main thing in competitive is to win of course. There are three ways to win; for both teams its to kill the entire enemy team. For terrorists it is to plant the bomb and let it explode, while counter terrorist's personal way to winning is defusing the bomb. There are usually 30 rounds in a competitive. My favorite maps are Mirage, Dust 2, and Cahce.

Games I Like

Hello everyone today I wanted to talk about a game I have been recently playing to you guys.

https://guildwars2.staticwars.com/wp-content/themes/guildwars2.com-live/img/gw2-logo.1600230148.jpg I recently got into is Guild Wars 2, and I am happy I did. This game was developed by Arenanet, and I think its awesome. Guild Wars 2 is a massive game, I have been playing this game for 2 weeks now and I only have 7% of the game done. In this game you can choose from five different races Char, Human, Asura, Sylvari, and Norn. After you have chosen from these various races you have to choose your class. The classes you can choose from are Mesmer, Guardian, Necromancer, Ranger, Elementalist, and Warrior. To break things down so it will be easier for everyone to under stand I will be talking about my own class and race. I am a Human Necromancer, and I think the necromancer class is amazing. You can summon your own minions to help you fight, and you can suck the life force out of enemy's and transfer it to you. There are just so many things you can do in guild wars you can do events, you can do your quests or you can do your personal story quest. The best part is every so often an event boss spawns in the server. Usually when an event boss spawns its a group event that means a lot of other player in that server are going to join and help fight to kill the boss. When the boss dies everyone gets loot. This is why I think Guild Wars 2 is an awesome game

Ninth drawing blog: How to Draw a Kitten Part: 1


Step 1: Draw a rough circle. At the bottom of this circle make a small upside down semi-circle. On each side of the circle draw triangles. Make sure these triangles are at the top of the head because these are going to be the kitten's ears. For the kitten's nose/mouth draw and upside down triangle, and make a small upside down "Y" touching its tip. For the kittens eyes draw two ovals, and add small circles that have the top left side cut off. Above the kitten's eyes draw an "M" in chicken scratch form. On the sides of the eyes draw a small curve going downwards. Under the left eye draw a small curved "V" and for the right eye draw a big curved "V". Make the kitten's neck by drawing a big obtuse angle going downwards. Back to the kittens eyes. Go to the areas that were cut off, and draw a bubbly circle for each eye. Shade in the pupil dark black and outline the outside of the eye with the same dark black. Shade in the cornea (area around the kittens pupil) by making it darker the further it is away from the pupil.

Step 2: Shade in the kitten's nose lightly, and add small semi circles on each side of the triangle to make nostrils. Darken the mouth of the kitten, making sure the middle of the mouth is darker. Start adding small lines from the tips of the nose towards the kitten's eyes. From the nose shade in a triangle going upwards. Make sure that the triangles tip reaches the highest point of the kitten's eyes. Darken the "V" that is next to both of the eyes. Above both of the kittens eyes add small curved lines. Add a few more lines on top of the triangle between the kittens eyes making it reach the chicken scratch "M".

Just Talking

Hi guys Minas here I just wanted to sit down and right to guys about something that I like a lot. If you guys don't know I love drawing, and I love origami hence forth why i made this blog about those subjects. In a recent blog post I told you guys how I got into drawing, now I am going to tell you guys how I got into origami.

I got into origami in a way that most people might not have thought. A few years back before I started blogging my family and I went to an art museum. When I was at the that museum I saw many sculptures that really fascinated me. After that trip I decided I wanted to start sculpting, but I didn't know how and the supplies for it were to expensive for me to buy. After that I thought of other ways to sculpt and origami came to me. Origami was simple and the materials for it were cheap (just paper). I started by making simple airplanes slowly getting better and making more advanced creations. I now usually build an origami creation weekly to daily because it fascinates me. That's how I got into origami I hope you enjoyed this blog see you next time.

Origami Blog: How to Make An Origami Crane


Step 1: First get a normal sheet of printer paper and make it into a square piece of paper. Fold the square piece of paper in half both ways. Your paper should have a plus going through the paper, and a a line going through the middle. Now turn the paper so it looks like a diamond, and Fold it in half to make a triangle. Do a reverse fold going inward on the triangle. This will take out on of the corners in the paper. Now do the same thing to the other corner.

Step 2: Now fold each of the flaps towards the middle on there respected side. Fold the triangle at the top of the paper downwards. Now unfold each of the flaps so the paper would look like a smaller diamond. Fold the layer that is facing you forwards. This will make a small bowl shape. Press down on this bowl making a thin diamond. Now do the same thing to the next layer.

Step 3: Unfold the Sides that you just folded making it turn back into a small diamond. Now you are going to do a petal fold on the diamond. Bring one flap upwards, so a pocket is made. You are then going to fold the sides of the pocket downwards so it makes a long diamond. Do that to the other side. Fold every bottom side of the diamond towards the middle so the bottom of the diamond is skinnier then the top. Turn the diamond to its side, so it looks flat for you. Then unfold the side facing you making it flat the other way. When the side is flat fold it upwards until it cant go any higher. When you have finished that fold it back in half. Do that same process to the other side. Choose the side that you want to be the head, and do a reverse fold on the tip of the piece making it look like a head. Grab the piece opposite to the head a push it further to its corresponding side. That will make the cranes tail. Finally fold the flaps downwards that are separating the head from the tail. There you have it you have just finished you origami crane.

Step 1: Get a square piece of paper and turn it, so it looks like a diamond. Then grab the bottom flap and fold it upwards. It should look like a triangle now. Now fold the right side of the triangle to the left side, then unfold it. Bring the tip of the right side to the top of the triangle. Do same thing to the left side. Now fold each of the sides downwards, so there tips are now on the bottom. Then unfold the piece so it is back to a small diamond.

Step 2: Fold each side of the diamond, so the tips of the left and right side are touching the middle. Now unfold that, so it back to a diamond. Now that there is a crease on the very side of each side do a reverse fold on them. Fold the entire thing in half, so it will look like a trapezoid. On each side of the trapezoid fold on of the flaps downwards making a ninety degree angle on the paper. Fold the part that made the ninety degree angle to the other side now. Fold the top corner of the paper towards both sides. Use the vertical line as a folding area. Now do a reverse fold on that corner folding it inside.


Step 3: Fold the flaps that made a ninety degree angle back to its original side leaving some of it on the side it was still on. On the very bottom of the paper (opposite to the corner that was reverse folded in step three) fold the tip of the corner to the side. Now unfold this, and do a reverse fold on the corner. You are now done with your origami dove.

Step 1: Get a square piece of paper and fold it in half vertically. Then fold the piece of paper in half again, but this time horizontally. Grab the flap that is facing you, and fold that back up. Now unfold everything so it looks like a rectangle again. Fold the left corner down towards the other side unfold that and do the same thing to the other corner. Do a revere fold on those corners making that top section turn into a triangle.

Step 2: Fold the bottom flap of the rectangle so it meets up with the bottom of the triangle. Grab one side of the triangle, and bring it to the other side. With the corner gone fold the rectangle part of the paper to the middle. When you are done with that fold the triangle back to its place, do that to the other side. Fold the rectangle part of the triangle again so it meets up with the bottom of the triangle. Fold the corners of that rectangle downwards so the corners meet up with the bottom. Now unfold the rectangle and do a reverse fold on those small corners. It should look like there is an upside down pentagon on the bottom of the triangle. Fold the corners of the trapezoid downwards to it looks like its an upside down trapezoid

Step 3: Fold the corners of the top triangle upwards to make small arms. Fold the middle trapezoid flaps towards there corresponding sides. Fold the pentagon upwards then unfold half of it back downwards. You are now done with your Origami Frog.


Tips on How to Draw Better

Hi guys I just wanted to sit down, and wright to you guys and explain how to get better at drawing. I am going to be using eight tricks that worked for me.

Number 1: Practice. I cant say this enough you have to practice drawing everyday, to get better. Even if its just a few sketches a day if you want to get good at drawing you have to practice.

Number 2: Use photos references. It is very hard to draw pictures well just using your mind. Have photo references of the picture you are drawing it will help you a lot.

Number 3: Study on one thing you like. If you like to draw animals stick with drawing animals for a while, and when you are ready to start a knew topic stay on that for a while. Don't just keep drawing new pictures you have to get used to the topic of art you are doing.

Number 4: Think of what your drawing as an abstract arrangement of different shapes it will help you in the long run.

Number 5: Make sure you know how to contrast your drawing knowing what is bright or dark.

Number 6: Have good art supplies. Don't just go to any craft store or online store and get art supplies because those aren't the best. Get your equipment form a store that sells them for a living that how you know they are good.

Number 7: Know what perspective your drawing at. You'll have to know the difference between first person second and third.

Number 8: Do not compare you art to other peoples art if it makes you feel bad. This will make you stress out, and even sometimes make your art look even worse. If you compare your art to someone that is better then you, and you feel sad about it you have to stop doing that.

Origami Blog: How to make an Origami Flapping Bird




Step 1:  First get a normal sheet of printer paper and make it into a square piece of paper. If you don't know how to make the printer paper square check back on one of my older origami blogs. Fold the square piece of paper in half both ways. Your paper should have a plus going through the paper, and a a line going through the middle. Now turn the paper so it looks like a diamond, and do a reverse fold going inward. This will take out on of the corners in the paper. Now do the same thing to the other corner.

Step 2: Now fold each of the flaps towards the middle on there respected side. Fold the triangle at the top of the paper downwards. Now unfold each of the flaps so the paper would look like a smaller diamond. Fold the layer that is facing you forwards. This will make a small bowl shape. Press down on this bowl making a thin diamond. Now do the same thing to the next layer.

Step 3: Turn the diamond so the flat parts face sideways. Grab the fold facing you and bring it upwards attaching it to the other folds. Make sure when you fold this part it has to be on a slight angle. Do the same process to the other side. Do a reverse fold to one of the side that you want to become the head. Then push down the small triangle made from the mountain fold making the head. Now there would be a line going diagonally under the wings. Fold the wings so it folds on that line. At the bottom of the crane fold the two flaps in opposite directions so the crane would stand. To make the crane flap its wings pull on the tail pulling outwards. You are now done with your origami flapping crane.

Starting up Blogs Again

Hello everybody I just wanted to quickly talk to you guys about what has been happening the last three weeks and why I haven't been putting up blogs. First I want to start up by saying Happy New Years and have the rest of your year great. Now I want to talk about why I haven't been putting blogs. During the last three weeks I have been in winter break, and over that time I couldn't find to much time to write or draw. I have been drawing a few sketches, and are ready to share them with you guys in future blogs. Also during winter break I went to Florida. At Florida I was always doing something, and there was no electronics at the hotel my family and I stayed at except a TV. This made it so I wasn't able to post anything. My Florida was amazing though we went all over Universal Studios and Disney World. That is what happened to me for the past three weeks and weekly blogs will be starting up next week.
