No news on the soul-mate front.
I have dial up here, and so every time I leave the computer for a bit I disconnect from the internet but leave my windows open.
This inevitably leaves me feeling very guilty, because I come back and see the Google Talk window open and dutifully repeating Connection Failed. Trying again in [seconds/minutes.] And then I feel like I've kicked a very loyal, cute, and enthusiastically willing-to-please puppy.
Gmail's an attention whore puppy-slut of a program, but I love it anyway. (I do have a tendency to personify programs, don't I?)
In other news, I drew Elphaba for Bunny but then the oekaki froze so I lost it. Can I go off myself now? BUT you can still see Bunny's pretty Ethan character, so go check it out. /end pimping.

And I'm still learning myself.

Don't know how I could train you....but I can give you advice: practice. Seriously. Draw on everything: your homework, your notes, your hand, your wall, the desk, other people's faces when they're sleeping....etc. ad nauseum.
Other things that help: Study anatomy. Trace a lot of linework. Take a children's coloring book and reproduce the pictures. Do a lot of reproducing until the correct proportions come naturally to you...then start drawing from imagination. (Gotta know the rules 'fore you can break 'em, yanno?)
