Picture Saturday-- Not one Phantom picture!

I'm unaccustomed to having plans on Saturdays. Normally, Saturdays are my day to take a breath and relax. But the past few weeks, my Saturdays have been taken up with socializing and plans, and when that happened, it's very hard for me to work Picture Saturday in.

I just don't know how to juggle being social and blogging!

Ahem.

That's why Picture Saturday has been on Sunday the last few weeks, and that is my apology.


Right so, you should all rejoice and have great happiness, because this week....I didn't draw Phantom once.

BUT OH, speaking of Phantom, since Bella extended her Musicals Blog Party to the seventh, I'm going to be posting about that a few times during this week, starting with my thoughts on the POTO musical... (AKA Raoul defense post) probably either Monday evening or Tuesday.


Shall we get started now?


1.) Here, have the guy that I drew as a warm-up. He is cute and I think he's probably a history teacher or something.

2.) Sometimes Tristan gets mad at people, and sometimes he gets mad at Kate, and sometimes she calls him a jerk.

3.) And sometimes when she's happy she calls him a jerk because it's cute and that's how I like it.

4.) Incidentally, meet Kate's brother, his name is Tyler, and he's a dork.

5.) Tyler is mostly a happy-go-lucky sort of person, except for when he gets angry and then he's gets really quiet and really cold, and maybe he might tell Tristan to get his ego under control.

6.) Also, I figured out which of Tristan's friends I'm going to kill!!

7.) When they need backup, Kate goes with them on the sabotaging missions.

8.) Sometimes Max needs alone time lol.

9.) I'M REALLY MAD, BECAUSE I WAS DRAWING, AND THE INK LEAKED ON TO THE PAGE BEHIND IT AND RUINED IT.

10.) Tyler is the cutest big brother.

11.) There was an agonizingly slow day at work, and so I worked on this off and on with a ball-point pen.

12.) Yesterday, I felt like drawing a witch, so I started on a witch, hunting for a broom.

13.) And then I thought... what if it was a steampunk witch, with a mechanical broom??? I need to color her in and that will be epic.

14.) Sometimes I read too many WWII love stories and get all feelsy.

Yeah.... photo dumps....

I'm super distracted right now, so I'm going to head off and visit with the family.

Favorite black and white?

Favorite colored? 

Over all best drawing?     

Which friend do you think I'm going to kill?

Cheers, guys! Love ya 

Lately.....

Lately.... My lovely cousin came up to visit over the weekend again! She was very brave to do so, because my whole family is still pretty sick. (I'm almost well, but my voice is all wonky and I have a cough that sounds worse than it is.)

We had quite a load of fun in spite of the great illness afflicting us.

Sammi came over too, and we partied. (Which, ultimately means we talked and had coffee and cookies until we could see sounds.)

I apologize for the cruddy picture quality. They were all taken on my iPod. :)

We went out for Starbucks and donuts, and then hung out at the lake for a while. It was really pretty there.... and I LIVE here, so I get to rub in how beautiful the scenery is. Allow me a cruel chuckle. Muwahahahaha.

Terrible selfie!

And then we might have gone home and watched The Incredibles.

I love that movie.

We consumed lots of food and enjoyed many conversations about life and movies.

L-R Sammi and Angela

We also watched Elf. First time seeing it for me, and now I feel the greatest of urges to go around saying, "Fransisco. Fransiiiiisco. Fransisco." Over and over again.

Lately.... We tried to watch Sherlock last night. It didn't work. There were tears involved. And consolation tea and shortbread.

Lately... I plowed through Arrow when I was sick. Arrow is really good. (A couple of dirty scenes, but it's hard to find any show these days that doesn't have that.) The characters grew on me a lot. I really ended up liking Oliver. And Tommy. And Diggle. And Felicity. (Mostly it makes me want to work out again. I mean seriously. His workout is... insane. Who knew this was possible?)

Oliver

Tommy!

Oliver has a cool outfit.

And the fight scenes are really kind of beautiful.

Lately... I really need to start drawing again, because I haven't in a while, and I feel a considerable need. Especially since I just flipped through The Hobbit: Official Movie Guide and saw the concept art and sketches. And now I'm like, "Oh. I have to practice."

And this is yet another pointless post, brought to you by your favorite blogger! (haha)

For some reason I'm having a really hard time thinking up a clever way to end this.

So I'm just going to smile, because smiling's my favorite.

And bid you all, a very fond farewell.
