Picture Saturday || April {2}

Wow. 

I should never be allowed to go this long without posting. 

You know how freaking long it takes to edit pictures?

Such long times. 

*Treskie blinks blearily at you*

There's a truly absurd amount of art this week, so buckle down, maybe grab a cup of coffee or something, and prepare for this week's gallery. (Hysterically narrated by a very tired and sarcastic Treskie.)

1.) I like to call this one "I-just-got-new-markers-and-pink-hair-seems-like-the-thing-to-do."

2.) The "Ooh those colors go well together!"

3.) Person: Why are you fanarting yourself?

Me: I must.*

*no that's not me, what are you talking about?

4.) Spring apparently makes me like yellows.

5.) It also makes me go, "You know what's cool? Fairies."

6.) Seriously. Fairies.

7.) *Breathes heavily*

(This one isn't finished, but I like the sketch soooo.)

8.) UGH HOW DO YOU DRAW FACES?

9.) So my sis-in-law asked me to draw a thing for her and Joe's anniversary. 

This was the rough draft that turned out amazingly-- until my pen blotted all over Flynn's freaking face when I was coloring it.

10.) And this was the replacement. I'm quite proud of these, actually lol.

11.) This truly embarrassing one of Tristan. Like, "DUDE LOOSEN UP! WHY SO STIFF AND STUPID LOOKING?" *Flips table over* "WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE A BLOND ASIAN?"

12.)  Angry Tristan is angry.

(Do ignore the incredibly awful foreshortening. Please and thank you.)

13.) As much of a tomboy Kate is, she's still the kind of person who likes to make sure she looks like she tried somewhat. So here's a picture of her doing her hair and probably thinking about Tristan, because girls are stupid.

14.) Flash forward to the first time she had to kill someone and it broke her a little.

15.) Me: I really don't need to draw another couple ever. 

Brain: ......

Me: ..........

Brain: You gotta.
Me: Yes, master.

16.) This one happened after a certain person (you know who you are) thought I couldn't put up a fight. Oh yeah? Oh yeah? lol.

17.) OKAY SO THE WAY HER DRESS CHANGES FROM YELLOW TO RED MAKES ME SO FREAKISHLY HAPPY, LIKE YASSSS! I DONE GOOD.

18.) And finally! (Forget drumrolls, can I get thunderous applause?)

This one that has a funny story behind it, but all I'm gonna say about it, is that he went in for a kiss and she was like, "Nope. Not today."

 

Wow! Congratulations! You made it to the end of this extremely long and probably boring post. 

You deserve all the cake. 

All of it. 

*Hugs you*

I'm thinking I'm gonna do a lifey post again soon. I haven't done one of those in a long time, and I think it's kind of important for my readers (AKA yooou) to feel like you know me a little more than just as that sarcastic typist throwing art at you and hoping you'll like it. 

Holla!

So anyway, ladies, gents, and Timelords, I'm going to post this now. I apologize if there are typos. I'm very tired and even though I double-checked and proof-read this thing, I probably missed a mess up. Lol, please forgive me if I did.

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Best colored?

Favorite black and white?

Best of the fairies?

Favorite with crazy colored hair?

Life post: yay or nay?

I love you all!

Picture Saturday || August {2}

Well, I'm having trouble posting more than every two weeks.

In my defense I've been working a lot.

And I'm super exhausted.

#toomanyexcuses

But I have some really cool art this week! (At least I think I do.)

I'm starting to feel like I need to get a more professional way of showcasing my work, because I basically vomit it out there, and that's not very good.

Also, I've been getting a few requests for drawing tutorials, but I'm not super confident with that. Would you guys be interested in seeing a drawing time-lapse video?


Right okay, art.

1.) I've been playing with color more often, because I like color. It's just hard.... and time-consuming.

2.) Also, cute kissing pictures!

3.) This odd one that I'm not sure about. I really like the green-ish skin tone, but other than that, I'm not sure.

4.) Look at this li'l mommy. 'Cause, mommies.

5.) AND OKAY SO CAN WE TALK ABOUT MERLIN AND FREYA AND HOW CUTE AND DEPRESSING THAT EPISODE WAS?

I kind of drew this one while I was watching, so proportions are a little off, but I like the overall effect.

6.) This one I drew on the Assumption. I'm a little cranky, because Chloe bumped me when I was coloring her hair, and so now her face is too small. BUT, I had to draw it, because there was a Black Mass performed in Oklahoma, on the Feast of the Assumption, desecrating Our Lady, and it really ticked me off.

7.) Okay, I'm really proud of this Rapunzel one, because the colors are spot on, and her hair makes me happy.

8.) I was sort of enthralled by hair this week.

9.) Also, while re-watching Merlin, I've discovered that a lot of people really hate Arthur, and that's sad, because he's a good character. He's arrogant, sure, but he's good-hearted, and he gets a bad rap all 'round. So here, have a picture of him being cute with Gwen.

10.) And why not color it? WHY NOT?

11.) And then I found this picture on pinterest, and I really liked the whole look of it, so I copied it shamelessly.

I'm going to try to be more consistent with posting, I don't know why I'm having so much trouble posting every week, but it's getting really out of hand. *coughs delicately*

Random aside: we went and watched Alex Ramon's "IMpossible" a few weeks ago. He's really good, and really funny, and he did this POSE and I want to draw SO BADLY, and I can't find a reference picture anywhere. It's driving me crazy! If you get a chance, you should watch this video, because it's fun.

Alrighty, question time!

Best overall?
Favorite black and white?

Favorite colored?
Best fanart? 

Did you watch the video? (Isn't he funny?)

I love you all!
Bai!

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--Randomly Rapunzel

I spend most of this week being angry at my sketchbook.

And that started because I finished my nice sketchbook, and didn't realize I had come to the end of it until I turned the page and there were.... no more pages.

HORROR.

And between this, that, and the other, I was not able to get to an art store to get a nice sketchbook for about a week, which means I had to use my spare.

The spare is a cheap little thing with low quality paper.

I didn't realize how much nice paper meant to me until I was reduced to using not nice paper. I didn't want to draw on that paper! I didn't like that paper! It was too smooth! It was too shiny! It was like computer paper with gloss!

So every time I went to draw, I just got angry.

Not irritated, not frustrated.

Angry.

I think.... I think I might need help.

It's at times like this where I'm like, "Ooooooh, that's why I'm forever alone!"

I got a new sketchbook this morning, and was so happy, I drew all day. 'Cause.... reasons.

Right, let's go.


1.) One of those late night I-don't-even-care doodles that turned out way better than I meant it to.

2.) In Disneyland there was an appalling lack of Tangled memorabilia, and I guess it bothered me? (How on earth can I have 72 markers and not have the right color for her dress..... what is life?)

3.) The oh-my-gosh-I-hate-this-sketchbook. Seriously. It threw off my groove.

4.) I figured out that Tristan's bad guy has a metal hand. I'm sure there's a really important reason for him to have a weird metal hand, but he has yet to divulge that information to me.

5.) Kate with her perfect hair.....

6.) Really quick Stitch, 'cause Stitch is cute, in a creepy sort of way.

7.) Stitch prompted this, even though... I watched both Lilo and Stitch movies and Angel has yet to appear. Am I missing something?

8.) I totally drew Chloe and Toink sharing the jacket, because that crap was CUTE.

9.) Oh hai, Piero.

10.) Le colored Tristan kissing Kate, because I didn't want to draw in the sketchbook that sucked.

11.) The one where she's totally disproportionate, but she has such passion, I don't even care.

Aaaaand I-eee-Iiiiii! Will aaaaaalwayssss LOOOVE youuuuu!

12.) *Aggressively obsesses.*

Oh my, my, myyyyyy Delilah! Why, why, WHYYYY Delilah!

13.) Sudden! Urge! To draw Rapunzel!

14.) Oh oh oh! What about FLYNN!?

15.) What if.... I drew them.... together.. (Yeah, his head is on wrong, BUT WHATEVER, IT'S PRETTY.)

Aaaand that's all I've got this week, ladies. (And gents? Are there gents following me?)

Question time!

Favorite colored?

Black and white?

Favorite fanart?

Best gif usage?

Love you all!
