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."
"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!

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.
