Picture Saturday -- May {2}

I don't know how to start this post, so I think I might jump right into it.

My brain is thinking all sorts of different things at once, and I'm a little too distracted to deal with it right now.



1.) Currently, I'm just experimenting with the toned paper I have, and I'm trying to figure out how to make it even more awesome. So here, I think she's the moon.



2.) I have epic plans for this one, so it's not done yet. BUT IT STILL LOOKS GOOD so I'mma post it anyway.



3.) I watched this video of Thinking Out Loud, and discovered that I have a type. I didn't realize how much of a type I had until two of my sister and my best friend were like, "He's not that cute." and I was like, "BUT HE'S A NERD." and... yeah.



4.) Sometimes I hang out at my sister's private lesson and draw her when she's singing.




5.) WE WATCHED CIVIL WAR TWICE AND THEY'RE NOT BROS. Ehem. So I drew Cap, and then next week I'm going to draw Iron Man, because I'm still viciously Team Get Along.

I'm gonna add color and highlights and shadowing and it's going to be epic.

6.) Random couple that I don't actually like because she looks like she's crying and that was not my intent.



7.) This really terrible Max picture because guns... He's stiff. It irks me. I am quite terribly irked.




8.) So then I did a more in-depth portrait of the guy. Max is the eye-candy of Tristan and Gang and it's ridiculous how proud he is of it.



Kat and I are going on a Marvel rewatch because Civil War. We're going to watch all the Marvel movies over the next week or so, and it's going to be.... wait for it.... Marvelous. Eheh. Ehehe. Hehehe. I'm so freaking hilarious.

Okay, ladies, question time!

Overall favorite?
Black and white?
Colored?
Have you seen Civil War?
How have you been? 

Cheers and God bless!

  2. #1 is pretty...I especially like the stars in her hair and the long, flow-y fabric. You do flowing fabrics very well!

    #2--YAY MORE PHANTOM ARTWORK! Can't wait to see the finished product! And her expression is a nice mix of perplexed and thinking. This is both my overall favorite and my favorite black-and white.

    #3--He's a nice-looking nerd. :-) I love your toned paper technique--it looks really good!

    #4--I like the hair and glasses here. Don't know why, but they stood out to me.

    #5--Wow, that is an amazing drawing of Captain America! (Who is my favorite superhero, ever. :-) )

    #6--Aw, but he's comforting her...and he looks so gentle and protective. Your minimal coloring of couples drawings really makes their faces and poses pop. Favorite colored for this week, definitely.

    #7--I like the coloring in this one. Is the blue/red outfit a trademark, or just something you picked for this drawing? (On an unrelated note, have you seen the movie Bolt? If you haven't it's an animated cartoon about a dog who thinks he has superpowers; and in one scene, the villain says, "You're beginning to irk me...I am *irked*--and that will not do." Your remark made me think of that line!)

    #8--Wow, Max looks good here! And I like the graphite/colored pencil combination.

    Yay, Marvel movie marathon!!! Sounds fun! I have not seen Civil War yet due to an inconvenient bout of bronchitis. But maybe later this month--I am looking forward to it immensely!

    I've been good (except for the bronchitis) and been busy writing--my family was gone over the weekend, and so I got the whole house to myself, and silence and solitude in which to work. Blessed quiet! The dog enjoyed the quiet as well and napped on Mom and Dad's bed almost the whole time. :-) How have you been? Feeling any better than last week?

    1. 1.) I Love stars in hair, it's just *magical* lol. Thank you! I find drawing fabric really relaxing.

      2.)I MAY HAVE LISTENED TO PHANTOM AGAIN AND I FEEL LIKE I'M POSSIBLY SLIDING BACK DOWN INTO OBSESSION LOL. But thank you. I love the way she turned out. XD

      3.) G'awww. *kicks floor* Thank youuuuu. (Riiight? HE DOES LOOK LIKE A NICE NERD, THANK YOU.)

      4.) lol Those are what makes Kat, Kat. :)

      5.) A;LDFKJASLDKFJASLDKFJAF (I can't choose between him, Tony and Bucky, and Hawkeye. AS YOU MAY GUESS, CIVIL WAR DESTROYED ME)

      6.) Mmm... maybe. *Looks at it dubiously* I dunno. lol! I love minimal coloring. XD XD Thank you.

      7.) I liked the coloring too... but stiff. Haha.. Um, it's just his outfit. Max has his favorite red sweatshirt that he wears with jeans so. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of his trademark look. (I LOVE BOLT!!!! ehehe, the cat speaks to me on a spiritual level. lol. Although I was paraphrasing Gladiator, when the evil brother is like, "It vexes me. I am quite terribly vexed.")

      8.) Max is hawt. XD Thanks!

      Urgh.... Civil War was so goooooooooooooooood. They did such a good job showing both sides of the argument so you really couldn't choose a side, which took me aback, because I totally thought, since it was Cap's movie, they would skew it in his favor, but nooooo. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SIDE. lol.

      Ugh, bronchitis is no fun at all. (And oh my gosh, isn't having a house to yourself the best? Too bad you were sick, because that would have been prime time to sing all the best musicals. XD) I am feeling better, I was just so wiped out last week. Thank you. O_o

  3. You saw Civil War?!?!? Was it awesome?!?! Did you like it!?!? I soooo want to see it! Nice drawings! Oh, and Max doesn't look that bad, the rest of the photo outshines the stiffness. :) Bye!!

    1. IT WAS SO GOOOOOOD! I WAS SO TORN. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BROS NOT FIGHTING LOL. But yeah, totally awesome. You must see it.

      Thank you!! (mmmmm *peers at Max* but he's so stiff...)

  4. Have you ever read Anne Elisabeth Stengl's Tales of Goldstone Wood series? That first picture makes me think of one of the characters, the Lady Moon.

    Overall favorite?- I like #2, the posture, the hair, the expression...S'good.
    Black and white? #1 or #3.
    Colored? #7
    Have you seen Civil War?- I don't really watch anything, do I.
    How have you been? - remember the chamomile? I've cut it back a bit, and I'm drying the flowers for tea now.

      1.) Cause Christine is bossss. lol.
      2. REALLY? COOL, CAUSE KAT DIDN'T THINK IT LOOKED ANYTHING LIKE HER.
      3.) But.... stiff.
      4.) Well you should see Civil War, cause that's one of the best marvel movies so far, I think.
      5.) I do remember. UGH OKAY YOU HAVE FRESH CHAMOMILE TEA? I DON"T EVEN LIKE THAT, AND I WOULD DRINK IT. okay bai. lol.

  6. I refuse to see Civil War because I'm so adamantly team Iron Man XD And if it's a Captain America movie I'm guessing he'll win. BLAH. (Ahem, I'm sorry!! I know you love the Capsicle!)
    OHHH BUT THE STIFF TRISTAN ONE IS STILL GORGEOUS I LIKE THE COLOURS IT IS NICE.
    Also nerdy guy is nerdy and awesome.

    1. NO NO NO. NO ONE WINS. IT'S THE WORST. Actually I loved it, it was so well done. Because I totally thought it would be skewed in Cap's favor, because it was his movie, BUT NOOOOOOOO IT CRUMPLED YOUR HEART AND RUINED YOUR DREAMS AND TOTALLY SHOWED BOTH SIDES OF THE WAR SO EQUALLY YOU ACTUALLY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHO'S SIDE YOU'D BE ON. (Even Amy, who's adamantly love Cap above all others was like, 'I DUNNO, I SPENT HALF THE MOVIE SIDING WITH TONY, AND THE OTHER HALF WITH CAP, WHAT IS LIFE.' But yeah.) SO EVEN YOU SHOULD WATCH IT BECAUSE POOR EVERYONE. (I do love Steve, but I love Iron Man and Bucky equally with him, so WHAT THE HECK LITERALLY THEY PICKED MY FAVORITE 'VENGERS AND PITCHED THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER.)

      THANK YOU.

      Yeah he is.... lol

  7. Favorite black and white...Number 3. (3 HE'S ADORABLE LSHGLH.

    Favorite color...Number 8 because MAX and I love how you did his hair. I can't draw guys' hair to save my life. Gah.

    YES I HAVE SEEN CIVIL WAR. TWICE. THE PAIN GOT WORSE THE SECOND TIME. *cries an ocean of tears* Why can't there just be peace and shawarma? Is that too much to ask? I just want everyone to be nice to Bucky and not fight. But nooooo. Instead they decide to make all the fangirls suffer.

    I have been....tired. Lots of tired. SUMMER IS UPON US and I'm SO not ready for the heat.

    1. RIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT??? NERDY GUYS = A+

      Max's hair is his glory lol. I think hair is one of the few things I'm actually good at drawing, so I like to revel in it. SO THANK YOU.

      AS;DLFKJDSF IT REALLY DOES GET WORSE THE SECOND TIME. LIKE ACTUAL TEARS AND I WANT BUCKY AND TONY TO MAKE UP AND TONY TO MAKE HIM A BETTER ARM, AND THEN I WANT STEVE AND TONY TO BE BROS AGAIN, AND I WANT THE AVENGERS TO BE FRIENDS, CAUSE REASONS. (Bucky killed me in this movie. Also TOny's look of absolute betrayal did me innnn.)

      SAME. I'M SO TIRED ALL THE TIME. (Lucky you. It literally snowed yesterday here. lol.)

  9. So at first I was like "IT'S A MOON FAIRY! OKAY THAT ONE HAS GOT TO BE MY FAVORITE!!" And then I saw "AAAAH! IT'S POTO. AND CHRISTINE'S HAIR AND" *fangirls* So now I can't choose. That's so cool that you draw your sister though! I never have the courage to draw portraits.

    Okay, so but, are. . . Are you going to draw Bucky? (I like Bucky. . .) Also, Thor? (Thor is also cool, Loki too. But I won't ask about him, because people have different, er, feelings about Loki.)

    I also like the nerd. Nerds are cool.

    1. SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY, THAT MOON FAIRY, THOUGH. LOL. (OH, I FINISHED THE POTO ONE AND IT LOOKS SO GOOOOOD.) hah, yeah... I'm only just starting doing portraits and I'm still not great at them, but at least I'm trying... I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, so IT'S ABOUT TIME lol.

      YES, BUCKY IS SAD AND GOOD. Eeeeh... I haven't trying drawing Thor yet.... I SHOULD THOUGH 'CAUSE HIS HAIR. ALSO HIS CLOAK. OOOOOH. (Pssshhh I love Loki. I don't think he's a hero, but he's definitely a complicated badguy who didnt realize how messed up he was. I have a lot of sympathy for Loki. Also... Tom Hiddleston is gold, so yeah. LOKI IN "THE DARK WORLD" KILLED ME.) I should draw him. We'll see. lol.

      THANK YOU, that's what I thought

  10. Overall fave is #8 (I love the gang a lot you know!) and black and white #1, though #2 gave me goosebumps just because I was like PHANTOM in Doug squirrel style (that gif was A* by the way). Hope June is treating you well so far! <3
