Get Paid To

Today I'll be posting something different...I'll be posting about Get Paid To programs!



Get Paid To programs are websites where you register and earn money by clicking ads.
There are Get Paid to Click,Get Paid to Read mails,Get Paid to Survey,etc.
In Get Paid to Click,usually you earn about 0.01$ per ad clicked(a few may pay lower or higher by click,but usually that's the payment) and you cashout after you reach a certain money earnt.
It may sound a bit ridiculous to be clicking ads just to earn one cent but,in the end,it will turnout profitable,given that you are earning money without doing nothing more than clicking ads!
Note that these programs aren't intended to make you rich,as you won't!But they are helpful if you are low on budget and want to cashout some extra bucks!


Get Paid to Survey are the ones who give out more cash,but if you're like me and not from the USA,you'll be finding just a few surveys to do from time to time.But when they do come,they are worth it!


Get Paid to Read mails,like the title says,you read mails,click on a link on that mail,and that's pretty much it.


One thing very important on those kind of programs are the referrals.Referrals are what give you the most cash!Here's an example:


» You click 10 ads per day = $0.10
» 10 referrals click 10 ads per day = $1.00
» Your daily earnings = $1.10
» Your weekly earnings = $7.70
» Your monthly earnings = $30.80


Suppose you're registered on 10 Paid to Click websites and you have just 10 referrals in each website.You multiply the monthly earnings by 10 and you get 308$!
Just with 10 referrals you can earn that money!
So,to finish this post, here are some links to Get Paid to programs(those that really pay!)and don't forget,refer to as many people as you can your links and you'll see some cash flowing in no time!

- Part 2: How to Draw Bodies

- Part 3: Costumes

- Part 4: How to Draw Scenes

I'll give you a sneak preview into each part of the book:

- First page

"Basic Knowledge of Yaoi terms" where you'll find some information of terms used in the yaoi world.

- The world of Yaoi

This section is a couple of pages with different male characters in different poses interacting with themselves.

- First,Let's Draw!

A section that basically tells you to copy the characters shown and study the drawing to see which parts you're not satisfied with.Has a tiny section(1 page) on differences between males and females.

- Part 1: How to Draw Faces and Expressions

Like the title says, it has pointers on how to draw different faces (depending on which type of characters you wish to portray ,youg,adult,mid-30) on different angles,how to draw eyes,noses and mouths on different perspectives and hairstyles.It has also a few pages of "Portraying Emotion through Expression" with common facial expressions used on this kind of anime.

- Part 2: How to Draw Bodies

Very helpful section on how to draw various body types(slender,muscular),drawing bodies in perspective and drawing each body type(hands,feet,legs,arms,neck) separately.

- Part 3: Costumes

Another pretty helpful section.It has everythig you need to learn(though it doesn't go very indepth on how to draw wrinkles) about drawing suits,jeans,t-shirts,kimonos,formal wear and blazers.It also has a section on how to draw shoes,glasses and a tiny page on accessories.

- Part 4: How to Draw Scenes

This's quite an informative part and,despite the name "yaoi" it doesn't cover any kind of "hard" scenes...Just has one page on how to draw kissing scenes.The other pages cover different interactions between characters.

- Part 5: Let's Draw Yaoi

Covers basic steps to making a manga,from plot to planning,first draft,inking,erasing and finishing touches(colour,tones,white-out,etc.).

- Part 6:Deeper into the world of Yaoi

A small section about the world of yaoi on the internet and where to buy yaoi.

I would like to recommend this book as it is packed with lots of information if your into drawing anime.
The illustrations are beautiful,very detailed and it's a quite informative book on the subject.
If you like to draw anime and want to start drawing Yaoi and males,overall this's the best book you can buy!It has everything from drawing male bodies to clothes,poses,accessories,etc.
Maybe the best book on the "let's draw" series...

1st post!Movie review: "Ratatouille"

Hello and Welcome to my "Oh no,Not another blog!"!


Like the title says this is jut another plain and simple blog...The purpose of this blog is to share with you a few of my hobbies(movies and drawing) and,hopefully, make you enjoy reading what I write about them...Who knows,maybe you'll find something interesting in here...Maybe you have something in common with me(like for example we share the same hobbies!!) and the information I make available will be helpful in someway!


So,without further ado,here's my review:

"Ratatouille"

If you´re eager for some visual delight and a couple of minutes of pure entertainment then "Ratatouille",one of Pixar's latest animation movie, is what you're looking for!Packed with beautifully animated scenes and voice acting,this's one of the best of Pixar's animated movies,undoubtdly!

This's the story of a rat named Remy who has a passion for good tasting food and has the soul of a chef!He turns his back at garbage and his idol is a world famous master chef named Gusteau,who he early finds he passed away.

After a few unfortunate events, Remy happens to find Gusteau's restaurant in the heart of Paris and,working together with Linguini, the garbage boy,decide to get the restaurant back on track.

Commanded by Remy, Linguini soon becomes the chef the little rodent would dream to be and, together,they make the restaurant the talk of Paris.

If you're looking to watch this movie be prepared,you'll be very hungry in the end(at least i did!).Indeed,the food looks delicious and makes you want to prepare all that good looking dishes.

The backgrounds are beautifully detailed as well as the characters ,which are very unique and loveable.

Pixar made also an excellent job with the voice acting which suits greatly all characters.

In a way,"Ratatouille" is a moral story ,moral which is centered in the idea that everyone ,with perseverance and passion,can fulfill their dreams no matter who you are or where you came from.

What I find the most enchanting on this film is the idea of a rat (known as filthy creature living in the sewers) as a chef of a restaurant.
The paradox of the cleanliness of the restaurant and the dirtyness of those creatures couldn't be more of an original argument .It's thrilling to watch Remy combining different spices,herbs and food to creat a variety of dishes!

This movie could be summed in one word: brilliant!

You won't be dissapointed with this movie (I didn't!) and it will be about two hours of pure entertainment,many laughs and where you will be hungry(literally!) for more.
