Picture Saturday-- April.2

Oh you guys...!

I just discovered toned paper.... AND.... IT IS THE MOST  GLORIOUS OF ALL THE INVENTIONS.

It is golden. It is wonderful.

Toned paper is life.

So this week's drawings are predominately on toned paper, because TONED PAPER IS LIFE. 


1.) First of all, here: I drew a dance, because even though I dance with the agility of a hammer, I really like it.

2.) More dance.... *Whistles forties music*

3.) All dis hair.

4.) Toned paper.......!!

5.) TONED PAPER.....!

6.) BROWN TONED PAPER. (This was actually my first attempt, but whatever, she looks like the girl from the Hillywood Show.)

7.) GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY.

8.) I freaking love this stuff, it is amazing.

9.) It thrills me. So it had to be paired with someone who thrills me, and so... Gianluca.

10.) Also, Piero.

11.) I don't even know, guys. Toned paper has a way of making even just average art look good. And it's really really addictive....

Yeah.... I'm not a weirdo at all.

There are burnt cookies in the oven, and we just finished watching the third Ip Man movie and I'm on a little bit of a high, because seriously.... Ip Man is SO GOOD. All three of the movies! So good, so martial arty, so... deliciously violent.

What? Sometimes you just need a little violence in your life.

Ehm. It's awesome.

Anyway, question time!

Favorite overall?
Favorite toned paper?

Favorite colored?

Have you seen Ip Man?

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY TONED PAPER?

Alrighty all! I love you guys! 

Picture Saturday-- April

Saying goodbye to people that you don't get to see that often is really hard.

*Angry Treskie noises*

You guys want a life update post this week?

I'm actually back now, I'm not just popping in to say hai only to disappear for another three weeks. Wooo!

*Le sigh*

Let's get going on the first Picture Saturday since... eeeeee, the beginning of March? Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long.

Unfortunately there's not a lot to actually post, because most of last month was taken up with a super-secret art project I was working on for my brother's wedding. And since I only finished it about the same time I got back from Montana (like two days before the wedding), taking pictures of it totally didn't cross my mind, so I'll have to ask Joe for it back before I can show you guys what it was. I was very proud of it. Ehem.

Right, bragging's over now.


1.) Usually if I'm drawing, my mood comes out in my art. So angrily sketching faces results in... angry face sketches....

2.) Finished Agent Carter s2, and commenced the fanart because.... That finale...! (Yeah, I know, I really need to start using reference pictures when I fanart because the people don't really look like they're supposed to...)

3.) Not wild about his face because it doesn't look like him, but daaaaaang those shoulders....

4.) The super-uber quick one that I did while waiting for my private lesson...

5.) KAY I NEED TO COLOR THIS ONE BECAUSE REASONS.

6.) The I-have-no-idea-what-I'm-doing...

7.) Let your hair flow freeee!

8.) The one that I liked until I looked at it again and now I'm thinking her head is a little... misplaced.
Also, I really wish my sketchbook was a little bit smaller, because it's too big for the scanner and hence, I get funky dark splotches on my scans and it's really irritating. 

9.) The art that turned out so well it doesn't even look like my art.

10.) The one that Tyler Ward noticed...WHICH WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT A LOT BETTER IF I'D HAD MORE TIME.

No, but seriously Tyler Ward saw it and it made my daaaaaaay.

11.) Here, have a really terrible pianist sketch... that I actually like and I don't know why.

12.) And finally, have the girl who emotes sadness, because I drew her this afternoon.

Alrighty, everyone, thanks for sticking around when I ditched you!

Question time!

Favorite overall?

Favorite black and white?

Have you seen s2 of Agent Carter? 

Do you ever think your art is good, until you look at it again and decide, "Eeeh, no?"

Did you miss me?

Love ya!

Oh yeah....

So I basically just abandoned you all this last month.

I mean, I sort of said I was going to take a break, but I also hinted that I was going to be blogging in between March and April.

HAAA. That didn't happen!

But I think I have an excuse, because I'm actually visiting my sister and her family in Montana, and I never see her, so hanging out with them takes priority, okay? Okay. 

Right though, quick update, in 100 words or less:

It had been right about.... 12 years since I last held a baby that was two hours old. Now it's been around ten days.

Big families are awesome.

Babies are so precious. 

Seriously.

Babies.

I must have one of my own. STAT.

Stressless atmospheres = happiness.

My brother is getting married in exactly one week, I'm taking another singing class when I get back to California and I finally finished my super secret art project that I've been working on for ages.

Right now, life is good.

God bless. 

Picture Sunday-- March

It was a good week.

Good things happened.*

I was elated, and happy, and embarrassed, and excited, and it was just a really good week.

*Fun things, silly things, thing that made go, "squeeeee."

I finally uploaded my solo to youtube, I think I did pretty okay considering I was still sick and my voice wasn't up to snuff, I'll put that link in at the bottom of this post, in case anyone wants to see it.*

*Is that weird, should I not do that?

I'm leaving to see my sister next Saturday. 

I'm going to try to do that Picture Saturday post early, so I can schedule it to post while I travel,* because that's going to be the last Picture Saturday until sometime in April, when I get back, since Gina and Dan don't have a scanner, and I will not post bad quality pics, okay? Okay.

*Pray for me! I've never flown alone before!

Right well... this week, unfortunately, I didn't draw a whole lot of quality stuff, but whatever. I'm really proud of a few of them (one in particular), and I'm gonna post the not-so-stellar ones, because I'm in a sharing mood. lol.

1.) So we have the little girl sketch I did while I was listening to Amy's private lesson, because... I bring sketchbooks with me. (I'm getting the hang of little kid bodies, aw yiss.)

2.) The guitar doodle, because why the heck not?

3.) The little guy who will definitely have a girlfriend when he grows into his eyebrows.

4.) The one where I discovered gelly roll pens, and was like, "HIGHLIGHT ALL THE THINGS." (White gelly roll pens are life. Aw YISS.)

5.) The one I started of Tyler Ward, and intend to finish. Tyler Ward is awesome and you should follow him on youtube, because the guy is so talented, and so sincere.

6.) Max feeling very sad and forlorn because he did the Thing.

7.) The one where Tristan finds out about the Thing.

8.) The one I don't like.

9.) The first sketch of Stitch and Angel that my brother requested....

10.) Aaaaaaaaaaaand THE ONE THAT TURNED OUT SO WELL I FLIPPED OUT BECAUSE I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS RESULT, AND I LIKE IT. (Seriously, Gelly Roll pens are where it's AT.) I LOVE THIS PIC, OKAY? OKAY.

Yeah... I'm not proud of myself at all....

I dunno, guys, I'm weird tonight. I'm all jittery and wonky. It's really late, and freaking Daylight Savings Time started and I should really go to bed.

So I'm going to post my solo (because apparently it's all about ME tonight....), and I'm gonna call it quits.

Question Time!

Favorite overall drawing?

Favorite black and white?

Have you figured out what Max's Thing is yet?

What's your favorite Lilo and Stitch quote?

I love you all!
