I know that I have been terrible about commenting and blogging.... and I apologize. (If you missed my blog that is, if you don't care one way or another, I retract my apology.)
I do have reasons for the being so lax, and mostly it's just that the weather finally, FINALLY warmed up and it's actually starting to feel like summer around here. (The last couple of weeks have been ridiculously cold... like getting down to the 30s at night. Which is cold in June.) So now that it's decided to bring on some "almost July" weather, I've been spending as much time as possible outside and ignoring my computer in the meantime.
I'm so glad it's summer, you guys. I love being warm.
Anyhow, I've been sketching and drawing a lot lately, and I've decided to share a few. I just noticed that the pictures all have the date on them. GRRRRRRRRRRRR. (yes, I use a camera and not a scanner. Our scanner tends to really wash out my drawings.) But I'm too lazy too redo so you'll just have to ignore that.
1.) The Dragon Slippers picture I'm working on right now. I'm wanting to color it in soon, so it's not done, but I rather fancy it. (If you haven't read that book, you really should. It's quite nice. The author does a cool twist on dragons' hoards. )
2.) The random-Scottish-girl-standing-on-a-cliff sketch I did a few days ago.
3.) The Rapunzel sketch I drew a few days before the random-girl-on-cliff one.
4.) The one I don't really care for.... That girl's head is so bulbous and huge compared to her body.
5.) The one I'm absurdly fond of that I mostly did last night and finished today:
Call me weird, but I really want the outfit she's wearing. And I quite like her hair.
8.) The St. Teresa of Avila quote that I love. (I already did it once before, but I love it so much, it had to be redone.)
And that's that. Sorry I'm not as peppy as I usually am, but I'm not really in the mood for peppy right now.
Anyway, what do you think? Which one's your favorite?
God bless, guys.

Wow. I love them! Even the girl with the head you didn't like? Her hair is beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mime. :D I did like her hair, which is probably the only reason I posted that picture. Haha!
DeleteI loooove the girl holding the book (with the fairy tale quote). It SO looks like she's being blown by the wind. Amazing. Plus her hair is rather Merida-ish and that I adore.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I like her too. I love drawing windy pictures. She looked a little wistful, so I had to look around for a pretty quote.
DeleteYES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!!! I was going for the curly girl look and thank you for mentioning it. :D
I love 4, 5 and 6!! I really do like 4. :D Her hair is awesome!! And 5 is really cool too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gimnastica. :D
DeleteWow! These are so great! :) Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dare, m'dear. *grin*
DeleteAwwwwwwww, thank you so much, Clair. It really does mean a lot when you say nice things since you're so good yourself. :D
ReplyDeleteI love that quote, so that picture is definitely one of my favorites. I get a little carried away with billowing fabric and hair. I'm like, "MORE! MORE! MOORREEEEE!" Which isn't always a good think though. lol. :D
Hahahaha! Thanks loads, Emily. But don't go die in a hole, your colors are way better than mine, and I get jealous of that. lol.
ReplyDeleteI have my sister to thank for teaching me how to do fabric, she's awesome with that. :) I love drawing hair, so I taught myself that. lol.
Ummmmm.... THANK you for the tag.... but I'll see if I can do it soon. I'm a little overwhelmed with tags right now. I always forget to do them. haha!
Purteh! I don't know, they're all nice. It's so funny, because a lot of the way you draw reminds me of MY drawings. But your faces are DEFINITELY your faces... there is no way I could draw a face like that. :) (And if that came off as a bit of a burn, I apologize. It was meant to be a compliment. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think yon baseball player is my fave. Just sayin'.
Thank you, Kat! They should remind you of yours, you taught me most of it. :)
DeleteI have really long pointy faces. *sigh*
I lurve the baseball player too. Woooo!
Ooh, they're all so great! Personally, I like the Rapunzel one a bit more than all the others. But #5 I like a lot too--the quote, the shading, everything. You have a true gift :).

Deletei love the 4th and 5th ones, but they are all so good! good job, missy!! And I'm so glad you are enjoying the weather. But I am happy you are back, hehe!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: will you be doing another vlog soon? i really enjoyed the one you made because it feels like I'm getting to know you and I don't know, it just seems so much fun! :)

Deleteoh yay!!!!!!! hmm, good point. Let's see, suggestions... oh! How about you post an entry asking us to ask you questions so you can answer them by vlog? Um... Let's see.... How about a tour of your room? That's all I got right now. If you need more suggestions, I'll think up some more for you.

DeleteHaha, well.... I'll probably end up going with the questions one because I like answering questions. And hey, the room tour could be part of it, you never know. My room is pretty cool. LOL.
