Picture Saturday-- Tutorial and stuffs.

So, a few posts back, I told Mime that I would do a tutorial on how to draw braids.

And then I got so nervous, I promptly pushed the idea to the back of my mind and forgot about it. .... Which, now that I think about it, was pretty unprofessional of me. *wince*

Once I got around to admitting to myself that I should probably do  the tutorial and post  that bad boy, I proceeded to vacillate wildly about whether I should do the tutorial with masses pictures like Kat does, or do it as a video as I've seen on youtube.

I tried both and came to the conclusion that video tutorials are marginally easier because I don't have to stop and take pictures every step. So I armed myself with pencil, paper, and my dad's camera, and got myself together.

PLEASE remember that this is my very first video ever, (and also my first tutorial) so it's a bit rough, and inexperienced. I must thank Bella for helping me speed up the video at some points. I had no idea how to do that on my own. Hehe. I noticed that even when I'm making an effort to speak slowly, I talk really, really fast, and I'm sometimes hard to understand. I also say "thing" a lot. Which sounds..... so  knowledgeable. Yeah. I'm going to need to polish up on my public speaking. 'Pologies, my dears. =)

And now I will stop procrastinating and actually embed the video. Let me know what you think, yeah? I'd appreciate feedback, as I think I might be uploading more sometime.... and if you decide to try it, maybe you can show me a picture?? Hehehe.

And now..... moving on quickly before I get too embarrassed about my voice and short fingernails. LOL.

I think I really need to work on drawing big. My work usually goes on computer paper folded in half, and I think it's time for me to start doing things on a bigger scale.

Her right eye is too big. And her nose looks better in real life. =) But I'm monstrous proud of her hair. Hee!

She seems to look better from this angle......

This is what happens when I'm bored during school and make a mistake when I'm writing out questions.

My friend recently lost her Dad to cancer, so I thought I'd draw her something nice. I didn't really know what to say, so I just used a Doctor Who quote.

Now, here's my question: IF I were to start an Etsy account, where I did greeting cards, like the picture above: ^^^ Do you guys think people would even think about buying them? I'd probably have them themed, like DW, or pretty thoughts, or Scripture.... and if it were you, would you be interested?

I'm just throwing that out there because I think I should do more with my artwork... so please.... be honest. :)


AND FINALLY!  You should seriously check out the epic giveaway at Jonnah's blog. I wants it, my preciiouuuusssssss.

And now, I go.

Cheers and God bless!
