Picture Saturday || August {1}

You know those coffee shops that everyone is always talking about? Right? The cute, small ones with warm, welcoming atmospheres where you can go get a coffee, and sit with a book or pencil and paper, and they're just... perfect?

We finally have one of those in town.

It's wonderful.

I have never gone to coffee so much before.

Also, I know the owner and her daughter. (Y'all know of Sammi, right?)

It also sells wine and food and delicious freaking paninis like whoa.

Currently it's my favorite foody/drinky place in town. Wow.


Anyway, moving on.

Somehow, I forgot to post last week. I feel like I had a reason, but I can't remember what it was. (It was very important, I think.)

But anyway, I promised my sister I would try to draw a "realistic" one with a big family. She gave me the whole layout, and I'm gonna give it my best shot, but it's a little daunting so I didn't do it this week. (I know, I'm so efficient.)


1.) Instead, I did this. (Which I feel is wrong, since I wasn't hugely wild about Frozen.)

LET IT GOOOOO, LET IT GOOOOO, CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE, LET IT GO, LET IT GO!
TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR! (And now that's stuck in your head, you're welcome.)

2.) And then I listened to Gentleman's Guide again, and started laughing, because there's this part in one of the songs, where Monty's voice cuts above everyone else's and all you hear is "Of course! A CONSCIENCE, I ASSUME!" That gave me this perfect image of Monty waving his saw around like a buffoon, and I've been itching to draw it for ages.

3.) I watched the single most depressing movie ever, with Colin Morgan and that kid from Kingsmen. The trailer made it look so good, but everyone died. I think if I hadn't been led to believe that at least one of the lived, I would have liked it more, but as it was, I was like, "Surely her brother won't die. She just saved him in France." and then he died. And then it ended. And I was like, "Buzz kill." so yeah. However, the leading lady was awfully pretty.

4.) And Colin Morgan's hair was on point.

And so I felt inclined to draw it. Wow, so first of all, EW, HAIR. And second of all, WHOA, TEETH ARE HARD.

Was this a bust? Yes. Yes it was. Am I gonna try again, because Colin-Morgan's-hair-in-that-movie-is-just-perfection? Yes. Yes I am.

I don't even know what happened, but something went terribly wrong. Like, why are his eyes so much darker than the rest of the picture? Ew! (And don't even get me started on the teeth. *Luke Skywalker No*

5.) But then I was like, "Colin Morgan's face is interesting. I'mma rewatch Merlin." (Seriously though, he has cheekbones that could cut glass.)

6.) I showed my nieces The Rescuers because they'd never seen the whole thing, and when Medusa tells Penny she's homely, Sam the Toink was so indignant. "Why did she say that? That's so rude! That's! That's mean!"

7.) I tried do a thing. (I was too lazy to finish coloring it this week so I fiddled with it on picmonkey and I'm not sure what's going on.)

8.) And and now, because Disney, have some Tangled love, because it's better than Frozen. (Not totally happy with Flynn, but Rapunzel's hair is sparkly.)

Mhmm. Alright that's all I have this week. My li'l sisters came up to visit and I haven't had time to draw, but oh well.

Right, talk to me!

Favorite overall?

Black and white?

Favorite colored? 

Best Disney fanart?

Do you have a favorite coffee shop? 

Love you all!

Picture Saturday -- Late.

I've been really lax with my blog lately. Actually, I've been lazy with pretty much all things internet.

I think I might be a bit burnt out, but I don't know why!

This is why Treskie can't have nice things.



Anyway, before I start this post, my bestest friend started her own blog, and you should go say hi. Go see Sammi!


I feel like I was supposed to say something else, but if I was, I forget what it is.

I think I'm going to do a post on music. ('Cause music.)


I'm sorry if I'm a little out of it right now, I'm easily distracted.... Oooh look, Il Volo!

1.) Right anyway. Here is the finished product of the character sketch I did for Cait, and it took a very long time for me to post it, because I GET DISTRACTED. (Yet another reason why Treskie can't have nice things.)

2.) Here, have the finally colored in versions of the pictures I drew of my cousin and her guy.

 3.) And then I was like, "BOYS IN BEANIES!"

 4.) *Heavy breathing.*

5.) I joined Operation Storm Heaven and loved the idea of being a Rosary Warrior so....

6.) So I'm that person who gets so incredibly irritated when girls in action movies leave their hair down-- especially if it's long-- because IT'S NOT REALISTIC to have it flipping and flopping when you're running for your life! But I'll be the first to admit, it's fun to draw flowy hair on spy girls....

 7.) I really like kids. I mean who doesn't? (If you don't there's something wrong.)

 8.) 'Nuff said.

 9.) CREEPY RANDOM GUY WITH GIANT EYES, YOU'RE WELCOME. (Reason #75 Why Treskie Can't Have Nice Things.)

 10.) Amy and I saw this little girl when we were driving to work, and she was walking to school, with this giant backpack, and these giant boots, and she was so adorably skinny that I was like, "Must. Draw. Now."

 11.) So Tristan and Tyler don't get along very well. And Tyler is really protective of Kate, ('Cause brothers are like that) and sometimes the he wants to punch Tristan because Tristan can be kind of a jerk.

Does this one need to be colored in?? Yes, yes it does.

"You're a good guy, Tristan, and I like you. But you talk to Kate
like that again, and I'll punch you in the throat."

 12.) Also, Tyler informed me that he's the oldest of the group, and was in medical school before whatever-it-is happened. So he's the medic of the group and it's adorable.

Oh yeah, and Kate doesn't have very good pain tolerance. Lucky her. (Mwuaahaha, this is why I can't have nice things.)

 13.) With helpful insights from Bella and Jack, I think I managed to figure out a way to let Max do the Thing without making everyone and their brother hate his guts.

14.) And I think Kate can fall asleep anywhere, and she curls up and it's cute. (And let me know if you think the angle works like that, because it's supposed to be like... looking down, and I can't tell if I got it.)

 15.) I've got some Doctor Who fanart because Eleven is the most awesome... And that quote just did it for me at the time. *heart eyes*

 16.) ALSO!!!!!!! CHRISTINE EYRE COLORED IN MY GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE PICTURE AND IT TRIPS ME OUT, BECAUSE A.) SO COOL THAT SOMEONE COLORED IN MY LINEART! And B.) *SCREAMING*.

 Yeah... that's my story.

Ehem, anyway! I'm going to sign off cause reasons... so.

Question Time!

Favorite overall, bestest, most awesome of this lot?

Nicest in black and white?

Favorite colored?

Do you like that Doctor Who quote?

Boy in beanies, amirite?

Also, this is the most important:

Would you guys rather I posted more often and only have two or three drawings per post, or do you like the massive photodumps just on Saturdays? (Or Sundays, as the case may be?)

Kay, I love you all!
