Picture Saturday || July {2}

I have listened to like six musicals today.

My brain is filled to bursting with ideas for fanart. Like, I have to draw the Pirate King, and I have to draw "With Catlike Tread," and I have to draw Monty waving his saw around in "Poison in my Pocket," and I have to draw some stuff from Light in the Piazza, and I have to draw more Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, because that was a big request from last week... (I didn't get to it, I will next time.)

Also, I need to draw "Storybook" from The Scarlet Pimpernel because I relate to that song on a spiritual level.

I can hear the coffee percolating, and I'm so excited to drink it.

Because... coffee.


So there isn't a lot of color this week... I don't really have a reason, I just didn't feel colorful.

1.) I'm trying to work on different face angles since I'm trying to hone my skillz. I am not good a different face angles.

2.) "Does this pose make me look stiff?" 

     "Yar."

3.) This one I did as a warmup today, but I want to redo it, because that line is hilarious and needs to be drawn properly. (It's from Pirates of Penzance, in case you didn't know.)

However, her pointing hand is on point. Ehehe. See what I did there? SEE IT?

4.) "Does it look weird?"
     "Yes."

     "I'll just shade it some more, no one will notice."

5.) A couple weeks ago, someone asked me to draw ballerinas, and I said I would. And then I didn't. BUT I DID NOW, SO YOU'RE WELCOME. 

Her arm is bent and not just ridiculously short, I promise.

6.) Ballerinas are really frikken hard. Abort! HIDE HER IN A GIANT SKIRT.

7.) I started on a really rough draft for some Pirates of Penzance fanart, because I want to illustrate that bit where all the sisters are like, 

"Let us compromise, 

our hearts are not of leather. 

Let us shut our eyes! 

And talk about the weather

.Yes, yes, let's talk about the weather!

Tomorrow it may pour again!"

But there's a lot of people in the scene and I got lazy, so I sketched it and took a break. If I finish, it will be spectacular. 

8.) And after I got bored, I drew Mabel and Frederic after they realize that he's only five... and a quarter.

9.) Because "Love to Me" is one of sweetest songs from Light in the Piazza. (It helps that Matthew Morrison sings it, because Matthew Morrison.) 

I'm irritated about the super dark lines in her hair. Ugh.

10.) Here, enjoy some characters for a book I'm supposed to illustrate. I need to go check out a bunch of Dr. Suess books, because that's kind of the format the author was hoping to have. 

11.) So I had this idea for Tristan and Gang, like they have to break in somewhere, and they need a plan, so they're having a meeting in the kitchen for it. And after throwing around some ideas, Max finally is like, "WE SHOULD GO UNDERCOVER."

12.) And there's this silence while everyone processes this, and then Kate breaks the ice by snickering. 

13.) Tyler is offended by the very idea. 

14.) And Tristan is just like, "Bro."

Yeah, I know it's silly, but I'm quite fond of those stupid characters so... I figured I'd share that brilliant plot line. 

I uploaded my solos from singing class to youtube, so if you guys want me to, let me know, and I can post them here. 

ALSO Amy and I covered Sad Beautiful Tragic and I'm quite pleased with it. So here, WATCH DIS.
(And if you want to, you could tell Jade++ to leave us alone, because she has systematically commented nastily on every single video we've ever put up.)

Alright

Question Time!

Favorite black and white?

Overall best?

Favorite colored?

Are ballerinas hard for anyone else?

What did you think of the song?

Alright that's all. 

Picture Saturday {Febuary}

So it's technically Friday.

But it's late and it's practically Saturday, so I'm going to post this tonight because I'm going to be running around screaming tomorrow because reasons.

Speaking of this weekend, it's Valentine's Day on Sunday, and so Amy and I recorded Can't Help Falling In Love as a tribute to.... I dunno. Love? Anyway, here it is. Let me know what you think, yeah?

A friend asked me how it was going at the flower shop this week..... I sent her this picture.

It's actually less frantic than last year, which I'm super grateful for, but it's still the mad rush of guys going, "Valentine's Day is when!?"

This is currently what our walk-in cooler looks like at the shop. (Amy is for size comparison.)

So fun, so fun.

This Picture Saturday is going to be an odd assortment, because this week has made me feel gooey and romantic, and irritated and sad at the same time. (Gooey and romantic because love is in the air, and irritated and sad becaus love is in the freaking air all the time.)


1.) Here, have an Italian lady... sleeping? I don't know, but she's pretty.

2.) Sometimes I think I should draw Kate with her hair down, and then I think "mmmm better not."

3.) Random guy who looks like someone and I can't place it. But I know he looks like someone....

4.) Le me during Valentine's week.

5.) I drew Ignazio from memory on a piece of scrap paper (in pen, no less!) and thought he turned out pretty good. I want to retry with a reference picture.

6.) Le me: I wonder if I can draw Piero..... Oh look it actually looks like him. Better leave it unfinished.

7.) Le me: Contemplates drawing Gianluca.
Le me: Better not attempt. Draw Tristan and Kate doing something romantic. Like shooting stuff together.

8.) People: You're so funny and pretty and smart, why are you still single?

me: 

9.) Le me: Oh oh, Tristan should tell Kate that he loves her when they're in the middle of a shoot-out. That's so him!

Yep, that is a coffee stain on the left. I had it on my hand, and I rubbed the paper and it was sad.

10.) Le me: Contemplates drawing Gianluca some more.
Le me: Mmmm. No. Draw Tristan making Kate stop yelling by planting one on her.

11.) Le me: Abort! Abort! Too much love.

Literally me this whole week.

12.) Le me: Contemplates drawing Gianluca.
Le me: Pssshhh you'd have better luck with a terrible self-portrait.
Le me: Apparently I look up and to the left a lot.

13.) Le me: Gianluuuuuuca.

And I need to stop.... Like seriously.

There's this song called Big Deal by Leann Rimes, and it goes,

Don't wanna hear another word about candlelight, 

and long-stemmed roses, 

or how you're falling head-over-heels in love. 

So what?

Big deal!

And I can relate to it. Ha!

Okay lovelies, question time!

Favorite drawing?

What are you doing for Valentine's Day?

 What's your favorite love song? 

What did you think of our cover?

I love you all! And happy, early, Valentine's Day!

Picture Saturday -- black and white.

BEFORE WE GET THIS PARTY STARTED, I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU!!

Amy and I recorded a duet! It's my newest song obsession,* and you should all check it out.

 *thank you, Angela.

Here you go, I present Fight Song!

Yep that happened. The blooper reel for that is like way longer than the actual video.... We have a really hard time being serious when we're together.


Anyway, I was lazy this week.

I'm having trouble with the words putting into sentence doing.

I have no motivation.

It's kind of like... Draw... or be lazy? Draw or watch Avatar the Last Airbender?

*Ponder ponder ponder*

Avatar then.

So yeah, I don't have a whole lot this week. And I did not feel like coloring stuff in, hence the title.


1.) I want to draw Lark and James SO BADLY. But I can't. Bella said I should try to draw how they make me feel rather than how I imagine them. This made sense, so I gave it a shot.

But this is not, and never will be, James, and I so I tossed Bella's idea out the freaking window.

 2.) I did not draw any more guitarists, BUT I'M GONNA. If all plans go well, the next Picture Saturday will be riddled with them. Until then, here have a sadly disproportionate falling person.

 3.) We got some really good news last week, and I was super happy about it. Apparently when I'm happy, I draw happy couples.

 4.) And vice versa when I'm not happy, I draw dead couples.

(They are both depressingly stiff, and what is he doing... is he biting his bottom lip? What even.)

 5.) I'm drawing Phantom paper dolls for a friend of mine, which means I have to relisten to Phantom of the Opera. YOU THOUGHT YOU OBSESSION WAS PETERING OUT. YOU WERE WRONG.

 6.) When I'm happy, I just draw couples. And unfortunately, it is really fun to draw kisses. Yes, I'm a giant sap. 

 7.) I JUST LIKE DRAWING KISSING PEOPLE, BECAUSE I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW, AND I'M JUST LIKE "AAAAAAAAAAGH! ALL THE ROMANCE MUST BE DRAWN!"

Don't you judge me.

Anyway... yeah. Amy and Kit and Sammi are all at Front Sight, and I am not, and I'm sad and lonely. Maybe I'll draw some more sad broken couples.

OKAY now I'm getting weird.

I love you all! Let me know what you thought of the song!


Which drawing is your most favoritest? 
Too much kissing? (yeah, prolly.)
Have you watched Avatar?

Okay, Treskie out.

Kay bai.

So I sing

I HAVE A THING TO SHARE, GUYS.

It's big and exciting, and it makes me nervous, because... nerves.

But whatever!

Amy has posted mah song! Squeeee!

It's very exciting.....

SO! Let me know what you think! And if you liked that, you could subscribe to Pandy's channel and make her freaking day. (Also mine, because it's a group channel)

CHEERIO MEIN FRIENDS.

Treskie out.
