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!

Le Jack's questions of doom and destruction:

1. Have you ever listened to the Snoopy vs. The Red Baron songs? 
    Yes, they are weird and adorable and give me mental images of Snoopy on his doghouse so ha.

2. What's tatters? 
    I'm not sure if you mean tatters like torn paper or cloth... or taters, which are poh-tay-toes, boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

3. What would be your opening lines to your Great American Novel? 
    "The question is," said the detective, "what were you doing with the semi-truck in the first place?"

4. Are you over Tadashi yet? 
    Is this a Big Hero 6 reference? BECAUSE I HAVEN'T FREAKING SEEN IT YET. But I have a fear for Tadashi. He's dead, isn't he?

5. How well can you crash a plane? 
    I will destroy all of the things!

6. What color are the socks you're wearing right now? 
     Black as the night.

7. What is the one thing you always carry with you and why? 
    ....I want to be all hipster and say, "My book." or "My sketch book." (which I do bring with me, frequently.) But like most of the sad populace of the world, I never leave my cellyphone behind if I can help it. It is my most favorite thing.

8. Are you six foot something with a scary nose? 
    I am a hobbit, and while my nose is sizable, I don't believe it's a scary nose.

9. What's the stupidest thing you ever done which inflicted pain on yourself? 
    I ignored my mom's warning to stay away from the edge of the bunk bed, and ended up fracturing my left wrist. I couldn't draw for a like a month.

I destroyed all of the things!

10. Do foods which don't go bad scare you?
     No, they are foods that don't go bad. I LOVE FOOD.
