Picture Saturday || August {3)

Two posts in a week! Magical!

I don't know, I think I might have to do a life-update post soon, because I did some exciting/scary things, and I want to tell you about them.


I'm freaking my friends out, because this whole week, our conversations have gone like this:

Friend: What are you up to?
Me: Listening to musicals...
Friend: Again!?
Me: ...... You act like that's a bad thing.

Honestly, between Kat, Bella, and I, we've discovered like... five new musicals that we hadn't heard before. Like did you know there's a really awesome 'Count of Monte Cristo' musical? And one that's based on the original story behind 'You've Got Mail'?

And in between listening to new musicals, I've been listening to my favorites over again, and just...

Ugh. There's something about musical, guys. A story told through music! What's not to love?


Anyway....


1.) Look at Jack Frost and his fabulousness. (In all honesty, if you haven't seen that movie, you should, because it's really good.)

2.) Also... Merida. Because she has hair like whoa.

3.) I tried and didn't quite pull off the Cinderella Transformation.

4.) Gwen from Merlin has such pretty, pretty eyes.

5.) This random sad kid...

6.) We listened to 'Ghost the Musical', which is based on the movie... (which I've never seen...) AND WOW, EMOTIONS. There's some things I'm not hugely keen on, like this one song has a good 2 minutes worth of swearing... BUT I CRIED LIKE A FOOL. IT'S PRETTY.

His nose needs work, but I'mma fix it when I color this in....

7.) AND DON'T SPEAK TO ME, I'M SO MAD THAT I DREW THIS, I DON'T EVEN LIKE 'HAMILTON'. I don't like Alexander, I don't like the music! I don't like it. (But it's so freaking catchy...) And that doesn't take away from the fact that hot dang, Eliza deserved a way better man than Alexander Hamilton. 

 

8.) In other news, someone officially threatened me to force me into not killing off one of the boys in my book. (She threatened to burn my art. RUDE!)

Max likes to tease Kate, and sometimes Kate rolls with it, and other times she'd happily strangle him.

9.) I'm finally able to draw fanart for the Tale of Two Cities musical... which is good, I guess, because Bella has been hounding me for some, and I just couldn't for a while.

10.) SUCH ANGER, MADAME DEFARGE!

11.) And finally, here, enjoy Sydney making a jolly fool of himself, even though he had the best of intentions. (Seriously, James Barbour rocked that role, he is golden.)

Do you see his scarf!? Do you see how cute and perfect her hands turned out?! *Covers face* This almost makes up for he Hamilton fanart.

Holla! Questions! 

Best overall?

Favorite black and white?

Favorite with color?

Best on toned paper?

 What's new with you?

I love you all!

 

Picture Saturday -- Stuff and things.

Yep. It's been a while.

Yes I know.

No, I don't really have an excuse. I mean, I have WiFi now, which is jolly. I have enough time, which is also jolly.

At the moment, I'm just a little bit brain dead when it comes to blogging ideas.

I need to start writing ideas down and putting them in a little clear mason jar, so that when I'm stumped I can stick my hand in and pull out a pre-thought-up post idea. Bountiful!

LET'S DO A LIST!!

A LIST OF HAPPY THINGS!

1.) I wore a cute sailor-y outfit today. I felt quite fabulous. (we won't mention how I may have splooshed wine on it, because that's not a happy thing.)

2.) My sister and her husband and their youngest came out for a weekend visit last week! (Hence no Picture Saturday.) We did lots of stuff and things, and it was really epic.

Yes, I make funny faces at babies. WHO DOESN'T?

3.) I figured out how to make the scanner scan stuff on high quality so my pictures aren't grainy. THIS MEANS I will not be using the camera anymore, and my drawings will look much more better on here. This delights me.

4.) I bought copic markers. *Flails*

Right, so happy thoughts done! (What a freaking relief.... can we get back to the sarcasm now? Thank you.)

Picture Saturday has... very little color. See I have my colored pencils on a shelf. And if I want to use them, I have to get up and get them and that's so much work. I will color more next week. And I will draw Luna the MLP next week as well.


1.) So first we have the bizarre doodles. Yes, I draw people kissing. What can I say? I'm in love with the idea of love.

2.) More bizarre doodles. But I finally drew a smiley person that I like!*

*You may applaud the smiley girl.


3.) HUG, because HUG.

4.) Le fairy, because fairies are always awesome, and I really like them.

5.) I had a really bad week, and this was the Postcommunion at Mass, and it just sort of made my day. And yes, I totally botched writing which Psalm it was, because I got ahead of myself and tried to write the wrong letter first. In pen. Go me.

 6.) My co-worker's birthday was last week, and a couple weeks ago, I found out that she really liked this song called Bus Stop by the Hollies. And since the lyrics were so freaking cute, I figured for her birthday I would draw her a picture illustrating it.

This was the rough draft.

7.) And this was the final version. I was very proud. AND she really liked it, so BONUS!

8.) The semi-self portrait that I did. Semi, because A.) I don't actually look like that. B.) My hair is not that fabulous. And C.) I'm a leftie.

 9.) The really terrible dual.

 10.) Jack posted the other day about how she looks when she rides her motorcycle, and her description was so cute... I had to draw it.

11.) Le scowly girl who did an admirable job depicting my feelings at the moment of her creation.

12.) Le mommy and her daughter, which was inspired by my sister and her kid. I shall probably color it in eventually.

13.) So I was listening to Taylor Swift....

14.) And that led me to my country music mood. And I just happened to listen to Play It Again by Luke Bryan, and that song is fabulous. (So yous all who don't like country *coughHannahcoughJesscough* can go somewhere else, because this is CUTE.)

15.) I bought Copic Markers.....

WELL THAT WAS A MISTAKE. Because see... as soon as I try new art supplies, I can't live without them. COPIC MARKERS ARE SEVEN BUCKS A POP, PEOPLE. Why!? So I only bought two. Yeah, I know what I'm saving up for....

GUYS IT'S ACTUALLY SKIN TONED. IT'S SKIN TONED! NOT PEACH! SKIIIIN.

Yep. My hobby is very expensive and it's sad. OH WELL! *Dances off to work for markers*

Goodbai. I shall see you in a few days.

Tra!

Disney tag and blog party!

So! Amy is doing a... a.... semi blog party.

Basically all you have to do to participate is answer the questions, and, if you're up to it, write a post about something Disney. (favorite movie, character, villain, etc.)

She drew ^^ that!

Righty! So I'm just going to do the tag this time, and I'll see if I can think up something epic to do as the extra post. (don't be too excited, I might not be able to. lol.)

1.) What is your favorite Disney movie?

     Oohhh. Hmmm. Eh. Probably Tangled. It used to be Sleeping Beauty and Robin Hood, but Tangled is something else, man. lol

2.) Favorite Princess?

     Rapunzel. I can just relate to her so much! It's ridiculous  how much I relate to that girl. Yeah. 

3.) Least favorite princess?

     Ummmmm. I'm going to get so much hate for this. I really could never like Ariel... she was a bit of a... stinker.

4.) Do you like the drawn animation or the computer animated movies better?

     Oh, this one is hard. I actually can't choose. I think the drawn animation ones were probably cooler (it was all freaking drawn, people!) but the computer animation tends to have more detail. And... yeah. It's hard to decide.

5.) Favorite male character?

     To be fair, I'm going to do a list, because it's hard for the older male characters to stand up to Flynn. (since when have animated guys been so attractive?! As if it's not bad enough that I develop crushes on humans I will never meet... now the cartoon guys are awesome too? NOOO!!) Anyway, back to the question. Um. Probably top favorite is Flynn because he's Flynn. But after him are Robin Hood, Prince Phillip (he had the coolest cloak ever!) and Basil of Baker Street.

6.) In your opinion, who was the best villain?
     Oh, Maleficent, defo. She was epically villainous. The turning into a dragon thing was pretty freaking cool!

7.) What is your favorite Disney hairstyle? (I just had to ask that one!)
   

Actually, the newest princess, Anna, has cute hair too. I like her.

8.) What is your favorite story?
     Okay, in case you haven't figured it out yet, Tangled is probably my all time favorite princess movie. But that aside, I'm going to pick my second favorite and say.... Robin Hood... and Beauty and the Beast.

 

9.) Which one has the best romance?
     No contest.

10.) What is your favorite Disney song? *Mrhrhrhr* (Yeah, narrow it down to one!:)
       WHAT?! Uh.... Uh.... Uh..... Uh..........................

      Uhhh..... Uh.....

      Uhhhhh.... uh.... uh....
   

      Hmm. Gosh, this is hard! I'm not going to choose a Tangled one. I won't! I won't! Uh... (Okay, besides, "I see the Light"...)

I never thought I'd say this, but I really love "I'll make a man out of you" from Mulan. (It could just be that I've been wanting to watch that lately, but that song is awesome. Donny Osmond sings it!) But it's so hard to choose because there are so many in so many different styles that I'm like... brain fried. lol.

11.) What is your favorite costume?
       Brave is Disney, right? I loved every one of her costumes. They were gorgeous. I love the colors, I love the style, I love the full skirts, I love every freaking thing about them. I'd adore to have a dress like that!

 

12.) Would you rather go to a ball with a midnight curfew or get lost in the forest and keep house for a bunch of dwarfs?
       Oh my gosh, does this even need asking? Dwarves! Duh! I'm so not the ball kind of girl. I mean, what looks nicer to you? This?

or this?

13.) Who is your favorite non-human character?
       

14.) Do you want adventure in the great wide somewhere or would you rather just be on an Island of your own?
       (I see what you did there.) I'll take the adventure first and then settle on my island, tanned and rested, and alone; surrounded by enormous piles of moneeeeeeeey!

15.) What Disney movie is the most likely to make you cry?
       Most of them do.

16.) What character do you most relate to?
        Rapunzel. She's... a lot like me. Only... braver? lol.

17.) What scene used to scare you the most?
       I'm not gonna lie. That part in Sleeping Beauty, where Maleficent turns into the dragon and Phillip's just like.... "Crud" used to scare the crap out of me.

Also the part in Cinderella when Stepmother looms out of the darkness. She's terrifying!

18.) Did you like Aurora's dress better in blue or pink?
       BLUE, DANG IT! It's way better blue.

19.) Have you seen The Great Mouse Detective?
       love it.

20.) What Disney movie, in your opinion, is the prettiest? Story aside, characters aside, what movie is just the most fun to look at?
       Brave had some pretty freaking awesome scenery.

On the other hand, so does Tangled. 

So yeah. Both of those. :)

Aaaaaaaaaaaand that's about it, y'all. Man, those questions are freaking hard! But this is actually really fun. I need to rewatch so many of the old Disney movies. I've only seen Snow White once or twice and I barely remember it.

But seriously, you should check out Amy's posty, because it'cool and she'd love you to participate. Spread the word! Do the blog party! Whoooo!

And now, because I can't seem to get through a post without mentioning Supernatural.....

Yep. Those are mah boyz.

Byeee!
