Picture Saturday - I suddenly like colored pencils

Two weeks between Picture Saturdays is too much.

Because then I have a dump of pictures and it takes for freaking ever to edit them so they look the same on screen as they do on paper. (*Treskie drools a little at her laptop*)

But anyway, yeah. My latest art endeavors for your perusal.

I don't tend to do colors. I'm not good at colors and I'm too lazy to take the time to learn, so I usually eyeball the colored pencils with a look similar to this:

And then I turn away and stick to my good ol' black and white, because black and white is my fave.

But when I decided I had to draw a scene from Dandelion Fire, I sort of knew that black and white wasn't going to cut it because Henry is fiery and fabulous and not black and white.

So with dubious fingers and a great deal of eyeballing, I came up with this.

1.) THAT SCENE FROM DANDELION FIRE  WHERE I LITERALLY SQUEALED WITH HAPPINESS.

and I'm a little shy of it because colors aren't my thing. So be kind.

2.) And then we have the couple of pictures that I drew for Hannah, because Hannah's awesome, and I luff her. (so like... the characters and the snippet are copyrighted. Don't. steal.)

3.) Siblingggggs.

4.) And then I was like "Haaaaiiii, colors don't suck." And since I was listening to Superheroes by the Script on repeat, I figured what the heck.

5.) And then I realized I wasn't a superhero.

6.) But like... the Doctor is a superhero in a way, so I drew him to cheer up.

Eleven is MAH FAVORITE and this is the best quote of ever. 

7.) And then I came up with this character that lost her memory and drew her. I think her name is going to end up being something tough like Madison or Bobbi.

8.) And then I drew how I was feeling at the time, because there's nothing more frustrating than having time to draw and getting artist's block. 

9.) And then we have the long goodbye which I like, but it's got weird lighting and that bugs me.

10.) And the mermaid/water fairy/thing I did which was basically just an excuse to use blue and purple for hair.

11.) And boom! DANCING. Because I freaking love dancing couples. So yeah. I drew this.

SO BIG GIANT QUESTIONS!!!

Do you like the colored ones even though I think colored pencils and I aren't exactly friends?

Do you like the colored ones more or less than the black and white?

DO YOU LOVE DANCING? (I think I would, if I knew how. But I don't, so I just love it from afar.)

I love you all. Goodbye.

Picture Saturday: 100 Cupboards, Raven Boys, and autumness

So, I'm wearing a lot of make up today.

I was bored. 

Hi.

I've given up on trying not to use "so" in my beginning sentences, because that word is apparently my favorite, and when I try not to use is my mind goes kaput.

So.

This Picture Saturday does not have as many 100 Cupboards drawings as I would like, but it does have some. (I want to draw all  the characters because they have such interesting descriptions!) But I didn't manage it this week. I shall try for next time. As it is all I have are Henry and Henrietta.

Alrighty, let's get this partay started!

1.) Le Henry. (the little stinker grew up a lot between book one and book two so I need to redo him, and make him look older now.)

 2.) Le Henrietta.

 3.) Le Henry.

 4.) Le Henrietta

 5.) Le Henry picture that I really like and am proud of the way the subtle colors look.

 6.) Le Henrietta being stupid and Henrietta-ish.

And that's it for 100 Cupboards this week. Next week I'll have more. :)

7.) Le doodles of Darcy from Haphazardly Implausible

8.) Le Darcy being Darcy.

 9.) Le Shocked Expression Test.

 10.) RONAAAAAAAAAN!

11.) Le one that I did when I was like, "I'M SO HAPPY IT'S OCTOBERRRR!"

 12.) Le li'l reading person.

13.) And finally, Le Singing Guy Who Is Very Cute.

 Ba dum pum. (That's a drum roll. Say it. See?)

And now I must say so long. Farewell. That-German-word. Goodbye.

I love you all. *cyber embrace of friendship.*

I need to comment on blogs.

Cheers!
