Picture Saturday || November {1}

So... it's been a while.

*Squints at date of last blog post*

Wow, I'm a horrible blogger.


Ugh! It's crazy how easily blogging can slip by when you have so many things going on! We had company and then we went to Front Sight,* and then I got sick....

*muffled screaming from the general area of Treskie*

Front Sight, guys. You gotta go.


Anyway, this Picture Saturday doesn't have a whole heck of a lot, because I didn't have a lot of time to draw... but worth it, because A.) visiting with fun people that you don't see a lot is awesome, and B.) Front. Freaking. Sight. (It's amazing and wipes you out and ugh, I want to go baaack.)


But yeah, let's get started, shall we?

1.) I'm so cranky, because this picture was awfully cute and then SOMEONE spilled her water all over my sketchbook. (You know who you are. You're in disgrace forever.)

2.) Girls with long hair, cause why not?

3.) Please ignore this weird picture. (Except for her shirt. Admire the shirt. The shirt is fantastic. The rest, you may ignore with all your might.)

4.) So this is super late, but sometimes Kate makes the boys dress up for Halloween, whether they want to or not. And since they're in the middle of a war against a bad ol' company, they had to just scrounge up stuff from their bunker, so Kate's very proud when the costume she came up with for Tristan turned out well.

5.) So... I got a request for more Tristan and Kate romance. So.... I'M REALLY SORRY FOR ALL OF YOU WHO DON'T LIKE THE SMOOCHY PICS.

6.) Sometimes if Kate's annoying him, he'll trip her, and it's frikken cute.

The same person who requested more love, also pointed out that it's been ages since I've colored in Tristan and Gang, so I might need to rectify that next week.


7.) Aand finally, this was a quick sketch I did while watching Il Volo sing, and I realized I finally had time to art again. (Please forgive the hands. They're.. weird looking. lol)

And THAT, my friends, minions, and potatoes, is the conclusion of this post. 

I promise to be better about blogging at least once a week now. 

Oh my gosh, I might need to do another life post, because reasons. 

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Best Tristan and Gang?

What would you like to see more of?

I love you all! 

Treskie out.

Picture Sunday || September {2}

Well hello!

Yes, yes, I'm late.

We know.

But I had a choice last night, to either do a blog post, or listen to Phantom of the Opera with someone who's never heard it before... Guess which one I chose?

I'm starting to feel like my blog needs an update again. I think it's just going to end up changing about once a year because yours truly has a very limited attention span and I get bored quickly.

Maybe New Years will bring a new design. YOU NEVER KNOW.

I'm considering chopping off my hair. This frightens me. But I want to! But I'm not much into change. It's very complicated, see.


Anyway! I actually drew this week, ladies and gents! (I know, crazy, right?) So buckle up, we have fanarts. Lots of fanarts.

1.) So first of all, look at this poofy Baymax and Hiro. (I've been in the mood to watch that movie again. I just love it so much.)

Next time I need to make Hiro's hair darker, but other than that, I'm pretty happy with this one. Because BAYMAX IS A GIANT MARSHMALLOW OF LOVE AND HUGS AND HAPPINESS.

2.) Ehem... I've been feeling particularly sappy lately, so deal with it.

3.) Attempted Briar Rose. (Which I always thought was a prettier name than Aurora, just saying.) Not 100% satisfied with how it turned out, but that aside I guess it's okay? I DON'T KNOW!

4.) So the Phantom really is a sad potato, and let me just say: Wow, Dave Willetts is one of the best Phantoms I've ever heard like sweet heavenly mercy me he is GOOD.

I'm thinking I might do a timelapse video of the coloring process on this one, with better lighting and a tripod. What do you guys think? Yes, no, maybe?

5.) Speaking of musicals, look at this completed one from last time!

6.) And there's this part in the musical where Sam's trying to get Molly to notice him and he says this line about, "I’m with you right beside you, I need you to believe it... Don’t stop now, you can feel me inside you-- don’t loose me in the rain!" And call me crazy, THAT LINE IS SUPER SAD.

7.) Sometimes I don't even know why I draw stuff. But here, look at this nerdy-looking girl holding a sword because that's going to turn out so well....

8.) Look, I drew a more detailed picture of Tyler. Tyler is the oldest of Tristan and Gang, and he's been through a lot. He's always tired, he's pretty humorless and sometimes he feels the greatest of needs to punch Tristan in his perfect face. I love him so much.

9.) Also, I drew Piero for Kat because his voice is gorgeous.

10.) So... There's a very real possibility that I may have binged Voltron: Legendary Defender on netflix, because... Because... It's literally like Zuko and Sokka from ATLA...in space. And... I... like it.

11.) THIS IS THE ZUKO CHARACTER. His name is Keith. He is awesome. We like him. *sips water*

12.) He has this cool spacey sword and he does ninja-like things with it and I approve. It has the Treskie Stamp of Approval. (Because... that's a thing. DO NOT DOUBT ME.) Please send help.

Yeeeep. 

Alright, people! 

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Best fanart? 

Favorite with color?

Best black and white?

What would you like to see more of on this blog? Fanart? Tristan and Co? Originals? Let me know!

I love you all!

Picture Saturday- May

So it's May.

When did that happen? It was April yesterday, I'm positive.

I don't know where the first part of May went. (Oh wait, it might have been sucked into the death hole known as Mother's Day week at the flower shop.)

Last week I was recovering from Mother's Day.

I'm so tired, you guys. I'm so tired. I'm just at this point in my life where I'm always tired, always stressed, and always emotional. Like what the freak?

I've been too tired to draw. That's how I gauge how tired I actually am-- If I still feel like drawing, I'm not that tired. If I don't, I am wiped out.

So yeah. In case you haven't figured it out yet, I repeat again, I am tired.

And I'm currently experiencing homesickness for a place that's not even home.

*Irritate Treskie noises*


Anyway, I'm planning on doing a life-update post sometime soonish, maybe at the end of the month I'll do a recap of the last few weeks, because life's been hectic!

So let's get started on this, because we're going to early Mass tomorrow, and since the church is a few hours away, it translates into me getting up at 5am. (My whole body is informing me that this is a bad idea, but I'm like.... Confession.)

1.) I'm back into drawing Tristan and Co after ages of ignoring them... (They made some dubious decisions that I had to wrap my head around before I could speak to them again.)

"Like what?" "Like you're gonna kiss her."

2.) Ehem, I don't think The Bad Guy, (AKA Freaky Freddie) is going to keep the name Fred, because it's not... evil... it's just... boring. It should be something that sounds evil.

Mwuahahaaha

3.) Enjoy some people kissing, cause I'm a sap.

4.) Sometimes Tyler does stuff for Kate, and tries to guilt-trip her into being nice to him.

5.) Sometimes I don't even know what the freak is going on.

6.) Other times I draw people kissing some more.

7.) Sometimes, Tyler catches Tristan and Kate alone in the kitchen and even though they're just talking, he doesn't like it, because he doesn't actually like Tristan. And since he's not a morning person, catching them in the kitchen first thing in the morning does not do good things to his attitude.

Yeah that's.... that's about it for me this week. I will probably edit this post tomorrow and add the thing I did for Joe and Jessi's wedding, but it's not done uploading to youtube yet, and I have to go to bed.

Like I said, I'm kind of wiped out.

*Edit*

So here's the deal with the thing I did for Joe and Jessi. I drew them a book, and gave it a cover and everything, and it's basically the main points of how they met and their courtship. I put it to the lyrics of Photograph by Ed Sheeran, because that's their wrong and it did something to me lol. So here you go, quick look. Hope you like it. :)

Question Time!

Favorite B&W?

Favorite colored?
Best overall?
What's new with you guys!??

Love y'all!

Picture Saturday-- B&W

This is actually being posted on Saturday.

How novel.


Anyway, I'm here to tell you right now, that I was not in the mood to color this week, so we have a load of black and white, and I hope that's okay with y'all.

Sometimes it's just easier to stick with my pens and pencils. And I'm best with black and white, sometimes I feel like my color drawings are a bit.... how can I say... garish. I don't like garish..... Hmm. What do you think?

I wish mechanical pencils came with brown lead, because I want to start drawing in sepia tones, but it's hard for me to use regular pencils because they loose their sharp points really fast and it freaks me out.

I really like my pencils to stay sharp.

I also want to try digital art, but as far as I can tell, free programs are not the thing, and people recommend Photoshop or... or a different one I forget the name of. But I cannot afford Photoshop and it makes me sad. #brokepeopleproblems

Right so let's get on with it, shall we?

1.) Sometimes I draw guys holding girls and laughing because love is awesome.

Do I think big, chunky glasses are attractive? Why yes. Yes I do.

2.) Sometimes I draw different poses of guys holding girls and laughing.

3.) Sometimes I draw scary hair. Mostly because I saw a picture on pinterest and wondered if I could... draw it.

4.) Sometimes I draw kisses.

5.) Sometimes I use my previous drawings as references for bigger pictures. (To be colored when I'm not sad that I misread the deadline for an art contest.)

6.) Sometimes I draw Lucy Carlyle from Lockwood & Co.... And discovered that I really like the effect of super dark eyes and thick eyebrows.

7.) Sometimes I draw Anthony Lockwood because hawt. (Also because I just finished the third book of the series and YEAH OKAY, INTENSE, AND A LITTLE BIT CREEPY.)

8.) Sometimes I draw people getting walloped with a snowball because it's almost December.

I did not draw Tristan and gang this week, because they're still insisting that Max do the Thing. I do not want Max to do the Thing, so they aren't going to be drawn until, A.) Max decides not to do the thing, B.) Max gives me a really good reason why he should do the Thing, or, C.) Max figures out a way to do the Thing without making the entire gang and the whole world hate him.

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, I feel I can listen to Christmas music and it makes me so happy. You have no idea how hard it was for me to wait until Thanksgiving. This year, I don't know what it is, but I was ready for Christmas by like... October.

I want to get candy canes and go caroling when it's like two days 'til Christmas.

You guys should give me ideas for Christmas cards because every time I sit down to draw one, I get art blocked.

FYI, the Mary Poppins we went to see last week was stellar. So unbelievable good, I'm a Broadway snob, and I think the talent in the show was definitely good enough to be on Broadway. *dies* So good.

Anyway, how are all you lovely people?

I found a new artist on pinterest that I adore, and when I finish this post, I'm going to find everything she has ever drawn and pin it. (All while probably crying that I'm not even sort of that good. Like seriously, look.)

*cries all the tears*

 

Mkay, question time. 

Favorite drawing this week?

If you could pick one of the above for me to color, which would it be?

You should give me ideas for Christmas cards. 

Seriously. I need ideas. 

Have you read "Lockwood & Co"?

 

Alrighty! I must go. I love you all!

Picture Saturday -- Oh no it's starting again.

So the Phantom kick is back in full swing.

And I'm not even sorry. 

You can blame Mary, because she commissioned Phantom paper dolls (!!) and I was forced to listen to the musical again.

For research purposes, you see....

Also, we're showing the 25th Anniversary to one of our friends on Monday, and it got me back in the mood.

These paper dolls are supposed to be based on the movie costumes and not on the musical costumes, and this makes it trickier for me, because I know the musical costumes really well, but the movie ones require much research. *Cue Treskie googling pictures, and watching POTO movie clips, and becoming even more set in her opinion that the movie could have been better...*


Anyhoo.

I'm not going to show you guys the paper dolls until they're done, and until Mary's seen them, so... that's why there aren't that many drawings this week.


1.) Here, have some ugly scribbles, because I sat down and my hand went, "NOPE!" (Though I have to admit, I think I captioned the kid at the bottom hilariously.)

2.) Here, have another kiss. I'M SORRY, I'M FEELING SAPPY, OKAY?

3.) Here, have the sketch of Raoul proposing to Christine, because I will ship them all the way to Gallifrey.

4.) Here, have the one I drew for Amy, because... because...

5.) Here, have the finished one from last week. (I can't decide if I should color it in or not, yea or nay?)

6.) Here, have one of Raoul, who has had just about enough of the Phantom's nonsense.

7.) Here, have the one that I'm mad about, because this one was supposed to be a rough draft, but her expressions turned out so well that I need it to not be just the rough draft, which means I have a set of pictures I really love on low quality paper, and I'm MAD.

8.) Here, have Raoul being sad and awesome, and ARGH, I JUST LOVE THAT CHARACTER SO MUCH, I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN.

9.) Here, have the Phantom doing the "No no, dark is good, dark is your friend, darkness makes Batman."

Here, have a gif of Zuko being fabulous.

Ugh, it has been a week, guys. I will fill you in probably sometime in the next few days, but yeah. It's been interesting.


And now I will pepper you with questions, because that's how I DO.

Did you groan when I said Phantom? (Because I'm aware that this obsession is bordering on worrisome.)
Favorite drawing this week?
Should I do more guitarists? 
Do you know the Muffin Man? 

Okay, I'm done now, Treskie out.
