Picture Saturday - I suddenly like colored pencils

Two weeks between Picture Saturdays is too much.

Because then I have a dump of pictures and it takes for freaking ever to edit them so they look the same on screen as they do on paper. (*Treskie drools a little at her laptop*)

But anyway, yeah. My latest art endeavors for your perusal.

I don't tend to do colors. I'm not good at colors and I'm too lazy to take the time to learn, so I usually eyeball the colored pencils with a look similar to this:


And then I turn away and stick to my good ol' black and white, because black and white is my fave.


But when I decided I had to draw a scene from Dandelion Fire, I sort of knew that black and white wasn't going to cut it because Henry is fiery and fabulous and not black and white.

So with dubious fingers and a great deal of eyeballing, I came up with this.

1.) THAT SCENE FROM DANDELION FIRE  WHERE I LITERALLY SQUEALED WITH HAPPINESS.

and I'm a little shy of it because colors aren't my thing. So be kind.

2.) And then we have the couple of pictures that I drew for Hannah, because Hannah's awesome, and I luff her. (so like... the characters and the snippet are copyrighted. Don't. steal.)


3.) Siblingggggs.


4.) And then I was like "Haaaaiiii, colors don't suck." And since I was listening to Superheroes by the Script on repeat, I figured what the heck.


5.) And then I realized I wasn't a superhero.


6.) But like... the Doctor is a superhero in a way, so I drew him to cheer up.

Eleven is MAH FAVORITE and this is the best quote of ever. 

7.) And then I came up with this character that lost her memory and drew her. I think her name is going to end up being something tough like Madison or Bobbi.


8.) And then I drew how I was feeling at the time, because there's nothing more frustrating than having time to draw and getting artist's block. 


9.) And then we have the long goodbye which I like, but it's got weird lighting and that bugs me.


10.) And the mermaid/water fairy/thing I did which was basically just an excuse to use blue and purple for hair.


11.) And boom! DANCING. Because I freaking love dancing couples. So yeah. I drew this.


SO BIG GIANT QUESTIONS!!!

Do you like the colored ones even though I think colored pencils and I aren't exactly friends?

Do you like the colored ones more or less than the black and white?

DO YOU LOVE DANCING? (I think I would, if I knew how. But I don't, so I just love it from afar.)

I love you all. Goodbye.
