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!

Aw, she lives! Hey dude!

WELL MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

AND A BLESSED, JOYFUL, HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Yes I realize it's been over a month since I last posted.

Yes, I'm very sorry.

But I was sick, and then I worked a lot, and then it was Christmas and now I'm sick again. I haven't drawn in like two weeks. HORRORS!

Also... like three days after my last post, I lost 5 followers overnight. WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID? LIKE GEEZ.



Anyway, those of you who have been around for a while know that I have a tradition where I do a tag to sum up the year, and yeah...I have to do it. It's Tradition.

So we should get started because A.) I'm ill and I don't know how long I will be able to stay awake, and B.) The tag is really long. :)



1.) What did you do in 2015 that you’d never done before?
      I literally thought about this for like... two whole minutes, and.... apparently I don't like trying new things, because I couldn't think of anything.



2.) Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make one this year?
      Last year I didn't really make one, so no. But yeah, I have a few this year, they're scary and awesome.

3.) Did anyone close to you give birth?
      Yeah! My sister Laura had a little boy and his name is Peter! (And my other sister is due in March, and if all goes well I'M GOING TO BE THERE!!!!!!)

4.) Did anyone close to you die?
      Well yes and no. One of our older cousins did, but we weren't actually close, so...

5.) What countries/states did you visit?
      Oh I travel down to Nevada all the time. (*Cough* the state line is like... ten minutes from where I live though so....) Also it's NevADa, not NevODa.

6.) What would you like to have in 2016 that you lacked in 2015?
      I have literally wanted to get married and have babies since I was like 13, and I still don't know anyone and this is a sadness to me.



7.) What date from 2015 will remain etched upon your memory?
      That glorious day in March when my brother surprised Amy and me with a landy.

8.) Did you move anywhere?
     Eh. No. Feel free to tell me I'm boring.



9.) What was your biggest achievement of the year?
      I can werk copic markers.

10.) What was your biggest failure?
       I still can't park straight.


11.) Did you suffer illness or injury?
       Eh. Uh. I mean, yeah, I'm sick right now. OH OH I SLICED THE TOP OF MY THUMB REALLY DEEP WHEN I WAS CLEANING ROSES.



12.) What was the best thing you bought?
        I don't buy stuff. (Well actually I do, but I don't buy exciting stuff.) ART SUPPLIES??


13.) Whose behavior merited celebration?
        Ehm. Prolly Chloe, because that little girl is just the sweetest.

14.) Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
        There was one person who made my best friend cry and I almost tracked her down and brained her.



15.) Where did most of your money go?
        Rent and food and movie tickets.



16.) What did you get really, really, really excited about?
        I DON' KNOW, OMG THIS POST IS GONNA BE SO BORING.



17.) What was the best concert you’ve been to this year?
        Does Mary Poppins count as a concert? Because that was stellar. 



18.) What song/album will always remind you of 2015?
        Prolly Stages, Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, Finding Neverland, and Il Volo's Grande Amore International Version. Because basically, JOSH, and of course, I finally was able to listen to those two musicals, and I love them, and of course, Il Volo's voices blend like coffee and it's just SO GOOD.

Though in retrospect, I should probably add Phantom to the list because everyone knows this is the year I was obsessed.


19.) Compared to this time last year, are you:
        Happier, which is good, because last year I was sad.

20.) What do you wish you’d done more of?
        I dunno. Trusting God?

21.) What do you wish you’d done less of?
        Stressing out. If I were that coral that dies of stress, I would be dead.


22.) What was your greatest musical discovery?
        Gentleman's Guide, because hysterical.


23.) How did you spend Christmas?
        I can honestly say, we haven't had such a perfect, flawless, beautiful Christmas in a while. It was amazing! Everyone who was close enough came for Christmas morning, we had five people to one bed (Which was awesome because it's a big bed, we're small people, and it was FREEZING after Midnight Mass.) And Christmas morning was a beautiful state of organized chaos with hot Italian sausage on sweet buns and we did all our Traditional Christmas things like lighting the Christ Candle and singing Joy to the World and opening the stockings and just... delighted screams and happiness everywhere and just... so many blessings. lol. We had extra people over for dinner (gnocchi and ham, because ITALIAN) and a giant snowball fight with everyone who was under 40. But the snow didn't pack well so when the boys teamed up against the girls, everyone disappeared behind a delicious white cloud of snow.



24.) How are you spending New Year’s?
       Well tonight I'm going to attempt to stay up til Midnight and toast in the new year, and tomorrow there's a shindig at Homebase and we're going to have bon y caulda, because yes.
 

25.) Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
        GINAAAAAAAAAAAA

26.) What was the best book you read?
        Lockwood and Co, hands down.



27.) Did you fall in love in 2015?
        *Squints at you*



28.) What was your favorite TV show?
        Er. Don't make me answer that.




29.) Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
        Eh. No I'm geoood.



30.) What did you want and get?
        So many copic markers.

31.) What did you want and not get?
        I don't really want stuff.



32.) What were your favorite films of this year?

1.) Age of Ultron


2.) Scorch Trials
3.) Ant Man
4.) Kingsmen. (Which apart of the casual way they drop the f bomb every minute, and the one totally random bed scene at the end, was quite good.)



33.) What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
        On my birthday... my bestest cousin came up, and we went shopping and did fun things together and met up with mah pal Sammi, and then we ate food, and I got pressies. *blink blink* I turned 20. SOON I SHALL BE 21.



34.) How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2015?
       I was literally a cross of "How much can I dress like Penelope?" and "What do I have in my closet that is the most comfortable?"


35.) What kept you sane?
        My family, my faith, and my fandoms.



36.) Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
        EVERYONE KNOWS THIS PERSON. EVEN PEOPLE I DON'T REALLY KNOW, KNOW THAT I LOVE HIM.



But then again, Gianluca is pretty special, and his voice makes me melt. And I kind of hate him for it. 




37.) What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
        Eh, I'm pretty content. But I would like a different flat/apartment soon.

38.) What political issue stirred you the most?
        The Supreme Court made a really dumb decision in June and it really ticked me off.



39.) Who did you miss?
        Mostly my sisters.



40.) Who was the best new person you met?
        We very recently have a new friend of the family and we can't decide if he's a giraffe or a hedgehog.


41.) Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2014.
       

42.) Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

       

43.) Five personally significant events of 2014:
        1.) Learned to draw in color
        2.) I...
        3.) Don't....
        4.) Do....
        5.) Stuff....



44.) Five things I want to do in 2015:
        1.) Take at least one art class
        2.) Take my drawing more seriously so I can make it a career.
        3.) Maybe get an extra job cause I'm...so broke.
        4.) Taking more singing classes.
        5.) Scheme up a way to keep my best friend from moving to LA.

45.) Five people I’d like to know better in 2014:
        I DON'T KNOW PEOPLE, LEAVE ME ALONE.


Right. That's all for now, my dear old crazy followers.

I want all of you to answer THREE of the questions for me!

And how are you celebrating New Years?

Thank you so much for sticking with me, all of you, and I hope you have a blessed, Happy New Year!
I love you all!

God bless!

Picture Saturday - Kick start

S'up people of the internet!

I'm back! And it hasn't been two weeks! I'm amazing!


Picture Saturdaaaaaaay!

And we're going to kick start this (hence the freaking title) with sketches and stuff.

And then we get to move on to PROJECT MY LITTLE PONY!!!



So le first. We have this random tree thing, I drew a few weeks ago.


 And then we have le character I came up with. I don't anything about her, except that she's about five inches tall, she's a fairy, and her name is Flutterbell. I think she's sassy. But that's it. If any of you want her, you can have her.




Seriously, write a story about her, because I can't.

Le mysterious cowboy who's shoulders and hat I hate. (But his face I like, 'cause shadows.)


AND THEN WE HAVE LE TAYLOR SWIFT INSPIRED ONE. (Don't hate, I like TSwizzle) Which I've been wanting to draw since the first time I heard Out of the Woods. I dunno, I just really liked that line where she goes,


The rest of the world was in black and white
But we were in screaming color.

So I let the idea fester and then I drew this. (FYI, Hannah, prismacolor pencils are the best of ever.)

Hehehehehe, kiss. Hehehe.

THEN we have le Percy and Annabeth iconic scene from Mark of Athena. Which I drew. And then colored in. At like 11:30pm. 


I think I'm getting the hang of color, what do you think? (My co-worker got me this art pen that I use ALL THE TIME now. And... just.... PRISMAS.)

And then we have the start of 

PROJECT MY LITTLE PONY HUMANIZED

I shall be adding to it every Saturday, until I get all the ponies done, and then I'm going to do a group picture of them and it will be hilarious.

I actually colored her in, but I left that picture at the other house, so I can't show it until next week.

So I started with Pinkie Pie, because she's PINKIE and I love Pinkie. 



Pinkie is exuberant.



And she is fabulous.



And then I worked on Applejack, because my niece informed me that I AM Applejack, and I needed to draw her now.


Applejack is a cowgirl. She likes apples and pies and being tough. (I don't think I'm like her. I don't like apples. Or pies. Or cows.)


SEE HER CUTIE MARK ON THE HAT?? SEE IT?!?

I do like to kick things though, so maybe I am like her....?

See? Cutie mark. Hip.


She's really fun to draw. 




And that's it for now because I've been blogging for ages and it's like.... late. SO! I shall away like a boss.

Pinkie and Applejack are fun. What do you think? Think I got their personalities right?? LET ME KNOW because I'm dying here. :)



Okay, now I really go.
Cheers!
