Picture Sunday|| December {1}

Wherein Treskie can't have nice things, because she's ruddy awful blogger.

Like, hi, guys, I'm not dead!

*Facepalm*

By the way it's December.

What? WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN? HOW? WHAT? IT WAS NOVEMBER 1ST LIKE A WEEK AGO??

Anyway, happy December, everyone!

You want to see some pictures? Sorry, there aren't a lot this week, despite me vanishing for over two weeks. I've been super busy, super tired, super freaking distracted.

1.) Sometimes I find quotes on pinterest that make me go 'awwwwwww.'

 2.) Sometimes I listen to music and draw the lyrics in totally unreadable ways.

3.) I'm not sure how I feel about sunflowers, but I like this a lot.

4.) SO LOOK AT THIS CUTE PICTURE OF KATE DOING CUTE THINGS WITH TRISTAN.

5.) And then I draw a version of this almost every year, using different song lyrics, but can we just talk about how rarely people depict Mary cuddling Baby Jesus?

GUYS, YOU REALIZE CHRISTMAS IS IN LIKE THREE WEEKS?

GUYS, CHRISTMAS IS IN LIKE THREE WEEKS!!!

I'm so excited!

And I want to make Christmas rings, and Christmas cards, and set up my tree, and decorate, and sing, and listen to Christmas music, and I'm just....

Haha, anyway. I'm going to call it a night. 

Hopefully I shall be more artful next week. 

Question time!

Best overall?

Favorite quote? 

Best on toned paper?

What's your favorite Christmas song?

I love you all!

Picture Sunday || November {2}

Wherein Treskie hasn't had time to art.

It caused many times of sadness this week.

Well not really....

But I don't like it when I don't have time to art.


Anyway, I'm currently listening to "When You Say Nothing at All"  on repeat, cause reasons.

What are you doing?

Want to see some pictures?


1.) I found a picture on instagram and used it as a reference. I'm quite pleased with the way this one turned out. I think I'm getting better at layering markers. Hollaaaa!

2.) Yes, hi, weird colored hair is fun to draaaw.

3.) Not 100% sure how I feel about this one. Mostly I feel good? But there is about 25% of me that's going, 'Something's wrong. Something's wrong."

4.) On occasion, that stupid song from Miss Congeniality gets stuck in my head and I apply it to Kate.

5.) Other times, this poem also reminds me of Kate. Kate has been grumpy lately.

6.) Tristan hugs Kate from behind and she likes it, and it's cute. Here, enjoy some fluff and floaty hearts, cause they're adorable.

Alrighty! So, between this, that, and the other, I'm not sure how much art I shall be able to produce for the next few weeks, as my schedule has been kind of hectic.

But other than that! I'm great! I have a few tags I ought to do. (I'm sorry, people-who-tagged-me, I forget to do things.)

Question Time!

I love you all!

Picture Saturday || November {1}

So... it's been a while.

*Squints at date of last blog post*

Wow, I'm a horrible blogger.


Ugh! It's crazy how easily blogging can slip by when you have so many things going on! We had company and then we went to Front Sight,* and then I got sick....

*muffled screaming from the general area of Treskie*

Front Sight, guys. You gotta go.


Anyway, this Picture Saturday doesn't have a whole heck of a lot, because I didn't have a lot of time to draw... but worth it, because A.) visiting with fun people that you don't see a lot is awesome, and B.) Front. Freaking. Sight. (It's amazing and wipes you out and ugh, I want to go baaack.)


But yeah, let's get started, shall we?

1.) I'm so cranky, because this picture was awfully cute and then SOMEONE spilled her water all over my sketchbook. (You know who you are. You're in disgrace forever.)

2.) Girls with long hair, cause why not?

3.) Please ignore this weird picture. (Except for her shirt. Admire the shirt. The shirt is fantastic. The rest, you may ignore with all your might.)

4.) So this is super late, but sometimes Kate makes the boys dress up for Halloween, whether they want to or not. And since they're in the middle of a war against a bad ol' company, they had to just scrounge up stuff from their bunker, so Kate's very proud when the costume she came up with for Tristan turned out well.

5.) So... I got a request for more Tristan and Kate romance. So.... I'M REALLY SORRY FOR ALL OF YOU WHO DON'T LIKE THE SMOOCHY PICS.

6.) Sometimes if Kate's annoying him, he'll trip her, and it's frikken cute.

The same person who requested more love, also pointed out that it's been ages since I've colored in Tristan and Gang, so I might need to rectify that next week.


7.) Aand finally, this was a quick sketch I did while watching Il Volo sing, and I realized I finally had time to art again. (Please forgive the hands. They're.. weird looking. lol)

And THAT, my friends, minions, and potatoes, is the conclusion of this post. 

I promise to be better about blogging at least once a week now. 

Oh my gosh, I might need to do another life post, because reasons. 

Question Time!

October {4}

I was going to come up with this excellent story for why Picture Saturday is actually Picture Monday.

It was going to involve time travel.

It would have been hilarious.

I'm too tired to come up with a hilarious time travel story. So I'm sorry this is two days late, and short on pictures. It was just an off-week.

Today I was cranky.

I was really cranky.

But I watched Hawaii Five-0, chatted with someone, and now I am considerably less cranky.


Anyway, this week in drawings, we have some interesting art work, consisting 95% of Tristan and Gang..... Primarily Tristan and Kate because I'm a sap.


1.) So first of all. Our heater has been having issues. Sometimes it refuses to turn on, no matter how cold it is. This causes much distress, seeing as it's been rather chilly lately. I've been wrapped up in blankets, like a little burrito of angst.

Anyway, this prompted someone to suggest I draw Kate all bundled up, and so I did. Coincidentally, her heater's out too. She blames Tristan. He probably did something to it.

2.) Speaking of Kate and Tristan. I had this great idea that after everything goes down, and the battle is won, and a certain someone* has died in a glorious hailstorm of self-sacrifice, Tristan finds Kate and very awkwardly asks her on a date. AND IT'S ADORABLE.

*who's name shall remain mentionless.

3.) And then Kate, who was totally not expecting such cutes from Tristan, gets all embarrassed cause she's not dressed for a date...

4.) Soooo, she tells him to give her ten minutes, and rushes about like a fool. When she comes back, she's awfully self-conscious because Tristan's never really seen her dressed up. (They've been waging war on an Evil Company run by Max's Evil Brother, SO SHE HASN'T HAD TIME TO DRESS UP, OKAY?)

5.) And Tristan's hard little heart just melts.

Yep. It's official, Treskie ships her own characters. And she need some serious help ASAP.

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW CUTE THEY ARE TOGETHER? THEY'RE ACTUALLY ADORABLE.


6.) And moving on quickly before things get too awkward. One of my friends really loves the word "nefarious." Uses it all the time. And once, used the sentence, "It's a cesspool of nefariousness." Which I immediately stole for Max, because that's such a Max thing to say.

Yep, he's a dork, that Max. He's a lovable dork.


7.) In other news, Jack asked me to draw Japhet teaching his daughter how to dance, and I think that's cute. (You should read that book. It has many feels. Some of those feels were my idea, YOU'RE WELCOME.)  Jack mentioned that Japhet's hair is probably receding... Receding hair is hard.

8.) And there's this quote that Edward says in FMAB, which I thought was a really good point. (Have I mentioned that Edward is a tiny cupcake full of awesomeness and daddy issues?)

Yeah, this blogger needs help. She needs a lot of help. And sleep. She should sleep more.

Anyway, I'm going to Front Sight in like... a week and a half, and I have many fears. Look at me, venturing out of my tiny comfort zone! I am scared to death.

Question Time!

Am I getting to sappy for you guys?
Anyone here ever been to Front Sight?

I love you all!

Picture Sunday || October {3}

I have much more of  social life than I had two years ago.

This is simultaneously really nice and rather irksome: nice, because I can do fun things with fun people, and irksome because doing fun things with fun people takes away from me doing fun things by myself. Like blogging on a Saturday night.

We had pizza instead.

It was homemade and delicious.

Anyway, holla! I didn't have to go to jury duty, so that made my weekend considerably better.

Today it rained a ridiculous amount, and blustered violently, and I drew a lot.


1.) Ehm, I finished Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and HOLY HECK YES, THAT SHOW WAS INTENSE. And delightful. And Roy Mustang is fantastic. (I wanted to fanart more, but I haven't had the chance.)

2.) I still haven't drawn the complicated picture my sister asked me for. (I WILL GET TO IT, I SWEAR.) So instead, have a picture of a random disproportionate girl with fabulous hair.

3.) I never used to be inspired to art when driving by people. But recently it's been happening rather frequently... this little kid was playing with his dog while Amy and I were driving home from work, and I was like, "TAKE A PICTURE OF HIM I WANNA DRAW THAT.' Amy said no. Treskie's Artist Level: Creepy.

I drew from memory.

4.) Sometimes I doodle on scraps of paper.

5.) I had to draw another cowboy, because last week's cowboy sparked an interesting conversation in my comment section on facebook. (Apparently it wasn't history accurate or something..) I was amused and felt the need to make amends for my lack of accuracy.

Yes, hi, hello, his left hand? Actually perfect. Thank you. *bows*

6.) Occasionally I attempt something on toned paper that SEEMS like a good idea, and then I finish it, and I'm just like... "No."

Here, look at this somewhat horrifying adult-faced child, who's hair is much too yellow.(But the cat is cute.)

7.) Other times I draw girls with gloriously high foreheads and a disturbing lack of hair ties.

8.) And then I realized that when I actually like a Shawn Mendes song, it reminds me of Tristan and Gang, and so here. I drew this one while listening to 'Mercy.'

SEE HOW THEIR HANDS ARE BARELY TOUCHING? I'M PROUD OF THAT, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

9.) Sometimes when Tyler's in a good mood, and he notices Kate looking at Tristan, he likes to tease her about it. Because he's her big brother, and that's how big brothers roll.

10.) AND ONCE IN A WHILE I DRAW SPOILERS FROM THE FINAL FIGHT AND GIVE MYSELF FEELS. I like this picture. Do not judge me.

Yep. I have issues.

Anyway. Thank you for all the nice comments on my new hair, everyone! *Flips it, cause it's short and flips now.*
