Inktober - Week 1

Hey faeries!

The first week of Inktober is over. I don't remember if you know this or not, but I'm doing weekly themes to go along with the prompts. The first week was movies/TV shows. 

Just as a side note, I'm super tired feeling today, so there won't be much to read for this post. XD And if it doesn't really make a lick of sense, I blame my overtired brain. U.U

Day 1: poisonous 

I really like the anime show Snow White with the Red Hair. I haven't watched the whole show yet, but it's amazing already. This is a drawing of Shirayuki, the main character, with a poisonous apple.

Day 2: tranquil

This is such a stretch for the prompt, tranquil; but I couldn't think of anything else. Big Hero 6 is one of my all time favorite family movies. (Baymax is so funny.)

Day 3: roasted

It's Barry and Wally from The Flash!!!! *does jazz hands sleepily* They always roast each other; so I thought they would work for that prompt. :P (I missed my chance to do an angry vein for Barry, though. XD Phooey.)

Day 4: spell

So, without meaning to, I sorta did a different style from my other drawings??? XD I think I like it, though. :P I also didn't mean for Draco to look dead inside, but, again, I really like it. XD This is probably my favorite drawing I've done so far.

It's hard to read what I wrote on the drawing but it says, "serpensortia" on top and "expelliarmus" on the side. Those are both spells from Harry Potter.

As you can see, this is my first black and white drawing I've done for Inktober, and I think I'll keep doing it. I need more practice drawing like that, anyway.

Day 5: chicken

I figured Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon was pretty much the definition of chicken. I don't know if he was necessary scared of his own shadow, but *shrugs* anything could've happened. XD 

Day 6: drooling

Bleghhhhhhh, this is the drawing I did today, I was not feeling in the drawing mood. You can tell I was rushing it by all the crazy messy lines I drew. XD 

I can hardly tell what I was drawing. It's supposed to be Sokka (from Avatar: the Last Airbender) in a sleeping bag, but uh, yeah, it looks wrong. XD Sokka looks like a baby. o.O

Next week's theme is books I wish were more popular. 

How's Inktober going for you? And, if you're not doing Inktober, how's life going for you? XD

Formal Wear / 15 Minute Sketch / Casual Wear - 30 Drawings Challenge

Hello, hello! ;)

I thought, since I'm drawing so much lately, I should post more than one picture per post this month. So today's post has three pieces of art! 

The next prompt was to draw someone in formal wear. XD I chose to draw Mettaton (from Undertale). I had this model-ish pose in mind I wanted to draw and I could not, for the life of me, find a reference photo for how to draw the head and neck and shoulders the way I wanted it to be. XD So, eh, it turned out a little wonky. XDD I haven't drawn that many side profiles, so that was a challenge for me. And I have to work on shading people's limbs and stuff to give the picture depth. :P

I made up the outfit from what I have seen other anime guys wear and real people. But I didn't have a reference picture up while I was drawing. 

Then, the drawing prompt was to draw a 15 minute sketch. Now, that was an intense 15 minutes. XD The person I chose to draw was, of course, Draco. I've drawn him so many times that makes it easier to draw faster.

*laughs a little* There's so many things I didn't have time to do. XD Like, shading skin or signing my name on it.

Also, I feel like a lot of people I show this to mention that he looks so grumpy. XD *is protective* Draco's just had a hard life! Be nice! You'd be grumpy too if you were in his shoes! AND EVERYONE CALLS HIM STUPID. LIKE, HECK. NOW THAT'S ROOD.

Ahem. I'm not crazy.

Now, it's casual wear. XD 

Um, welp. I trieddddddd to draw a dog on his lap. And... um. It's looks like a brown colored lump, to be honest. XD

There was another little mishap. This was the first drawing in my new sketchbook. And the sketchbook doesn't work with colored pencils cuz it leaves little white dots EVERYWHERE. So. *frowns at sketchbook* Humph. (The next drawing I did in that sketchbook I colored it with markers and it works much better! XD)

Other than the mistakes, I think I like how this drawing turned out...? XD *looks at drawing again and nods head* Yup. I think I like it. XD (Although on this picture I took of the drawing you can barely tell I gave the guy stubble. XDD Oops. :P)

Okay, that's all I have for you shanks today.

Remember WICKED is good! (Not!) (Why am I using Maze Runner terms??)

Do you ever use random terms or references from books just because you like them? XD *whispers* I do. All the buggin' time.

A Post at Last and A Very Sorry Apology

Hey faeries!

I'm finally posting!!! :O I'm super sorry I missed posting these last few times. I don't have any good excuses for my lack of posts. DX I've really just been a lazy bum when it came to going online to write a blog post. Sorry about that. :(  

Alrighty, to make up for the lack, I'll be doing a little bit of an art dump. c: So, my family went on a little vacation on the last week of June. And I drew a bunch of art during that week. :) I hope you guys enjoy!

This one was inspired by a dancer I saw at a dance competition earlier in June. (It was pretty much fully drawn, so I just inked it when I was on holidays. XD I have colored it since I've taken the picture of the drawing. So later, you'll get to see the finished product.)

EEP! I WATCHED THE FIRST HARRY POTTER MOVIE ON VACATION FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I LOVED IT. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. CHARMING. WONDERFUL. AMAZING.  AND IT WAS SUPER LONG, WHICH WAS AWESOME. AND AND AND. I COULD KEEP GOING ABOUT THE WHOLE CUTENESS OF THE MOVIE BUT I WON'T. XDD Okay, I should calm down a little. 

Ahem. Anyway, I was feeling super inspired after watching that movie to draw Draco with his first haircut. And it was getting late when I started this drawing, so I drew fast. It's not nearly perfect but I had a lot of fun drawing it. XD I didn't have a reference photo which means I drew this from memory. So... his outfit is probably off. XD

Lostfairy and I had printed a sheet of character drawing prompts to bring along on vacation. And one of the prompts was to draw someone putting on a big shirt. XD It's kind of an odd prompt but I wanted to draw it. So I drew Ghirahim putting on a baggy t-shirt. ^.^ And since he's wearing a baggy shirt, I thought he should wear sweats, too. XD LOL, I don't think Ghirahim would like wearing those clothes at all! *laughs a little evilly in putting Ghirahim through such "torture"*

This is just a WIP so I'll ink it and color it sometime soon. 

I wasn't sure what to draw one morning. And then I saw my sis, Lostfairy, sitting across from me on the couch playing 2DS XL. And I thought why not draw her. XD 

So I drew my sister. (She's wearing a Kirby shirt, by the way.) I still have to erase all the pencil lines and then color it. 

I read a graphic novel on vacation called Kare Kano: His and Her Circumstances. I really liked the cute guy in there, so I tried drawing him and using a few techniques that the artist/author has. It didn't turn out looking like the guy, Arima. XD But that's okay. (Just to be clear, he doesn't actually have a flower and cracks over one eye. That's just something I've seen other people draw on random characters and stuff. And I wanted to try it, too. :P)

Welp, I think that's all for today! I hope you enjoyed looking at my art. :)

... 

LA GASP. Almost forgot something! 

Lostfairy and I started doing a 30 day drawing challenge just by ourselves. We looked at other 30 day drawing challenges that can be found online. And we put together a list of the drawing prompts we liked and added a couple of our own. We started doing the challenge on the first of July. We've missed a few days already but that's okay. :) We are doing what we wanted and drawing more than usually. :D So either this Saturday, I'll show you some art I've draw for the challenge or on Monday. XD It's been really fun so far! I can't wait to draw more. :3

Would you ever consider doing a drawing challenge? 

Doodle on CS that Just So Happens to Be Draco Malfoy

ELLO!!! 

*cough cough* Ignore my weird imitation of Luigi in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. XD

So I felt like trying to do a sketchy doodle on CS. And, of course, Draco is the person I decided to draw.

It's not perfect, but I'm okay with that. It was just for fun. XD And I did enjoy myself quite a bit. <3

What character do you find yourself always drawing?

Draco Malfoy (AGAIN XD)

Oops! This post got a bit late! :P 

Basically, I wanted to draw Draco screaming because... Welp, um, because, um, he does it as a little kid and I wanted to draw a chibi older Draco screaming. XD That sounds weird. 

I didn't look at any reference base pictures, so it's not perfect. :P

Um, yeah, that's all I have to say for this art. XD So I guess it'll be a short post today.

See you faeries on Thursday!!!

Do you like drawing different emotions on your favorite characters?

I Made a Comic! (But Not Really.)

WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD.

THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF...

Hogwarts...?

Uhm, that's not quite how the song goes. :1 Heh. O,o Oopsie.

So, faeries, it looks like I'm back again for the second post this week!

A couple of weeks ago, maybe longer or shorter, I don't really now. Ahem! I mean, a while ago! I got an idea for a drawing. Kinda of a joke drawing. So I guess it would be a comic, but it's not really that, either. I guess you'll have to decide for yourselves if its a comic or not.

I've seen couple pictures of Draco in the first Harry Potter movies where he is wearing this strange little toque... He, like, wears it on the top of head so its barely staying there and it's really long, so it goes to a point at the end, which sticks up in the air. Now, you might be thinking, "Oh, I know what kind of hat that is, Chloe! That's easy to tell! It's a wizard hat. Like, dur, Draco is a wizard so it makes sense if he wore a wizard hat!" 

But, um, no. It's most definitely not a wizard hat. It's a toque... >.<

See? That's not a wizard hat. :P 

So anyway! I randomly thought of what Draco would look like when he's a young adult with that toque on. I decided to draw it. And now you've seen the result of that decision. XD

I added the speech bubble for clarity about the what the picture really means. And to be a little bit funny. XD 

It was rather hard to draw that hand that's pointing up on my Draco picture, but my own hand was a willing model. XD 

I think I've basically memorized Draco's outfit by now (or at least, one of his outfits :P).

I have a lot more comics that are bouncing around in my head, so you'll see some more in the next while. :)

Do you like reading comics?

Random Art and Art Request Not Done as I Promised it Would Be (sorry about that!) and New Posting Schedule!

*hums to song I'm listening to* 

...

*foot bounces to the tune* 

...

*fingers start tapping to the melody*

...

*sways a little*

...

*starts danc-*

Okay! I need to stop! XD 

Ahem. I am completely calm. 

*looks away innocently*

Whaaaat? I did not have coffee before writing this post. Heh, heh, why would you think THAT? It's not like I'm acting hyper again! Nope, no way! This girly is not crazy, at allllllllll. *laughs weirdly then coughs because it looks like I'm hyper if I laugh like that and I'm trying to convince you guys I did not drink coffee but is failing so miserably that I break down with plenty of tears and snot and confess that I did indeed drink a cup of coffee and then I beg for forgiveness and promise never to touch that drink again, but we all know that I can't resist a good cup of java and will go back to my old ways in a blink of an eye* 

OM. I'm so, so weird. XD Ignore that crazy intro. :P

You guys remember me drawing the Korok, Makar? Well, this is one of his friends named Hollo. I felt like drawing one more of these little guys. And I have to say, I think this guy turned out better than Makar. D: #Oops. #IshouldhaveshownyouhowtodrawHolloinsteadofMakarbecausethenyouwouldknowhowtodrawthebetteronenottheuglierone :P (If anyone can tell what the loooooonnnnngggg hashtag says, then you get a gold star! XD)

Hollo is like a lot of other Koroks in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game in the fact that he carries two sticks with berries of some sort on them. But I didn't draw Hollo from BOTW; he is technically from Wind Waker. 

*looks at the picture some more and shakes head a little* Hollo has such a strange nose. XDDD But that's how it looks like in the game, so *shrugs* oh well. :P He'll just have to deal with having a very pointy nose... Annnnnd eyes that are different sizes and a funny mouth/chin thingabob???? XDD

I finished coloring my picture of some of Draco's emotions. :D I really, really like the neutral expression. XD I don't know why, but that's my favorite of all the faces I drew on here. ^.^ 

In case you were wondering, when I color his sweater that he wears over the collared shirt, I color it first with a regular black pencil. And the colored pencil I have likes leaving little white spots everywhere unless you color über hard, so I then color it over with my white pencil. 

(Fun Fact: for the longest time I had no idea what the use of a white colored pencil was, but recently-ish I found it is quite handy for blending colors. It kinda smooths them out, if that makes sense. XD Also I have no idea if I have told you all about the white pencil thing before, so sorry if I have!) 

And then, once I finished coloring all sweater with white, I use another black I have that colors denser than my first black. I shade it with the denser black colored pencil. (The denser black colored pencil is a Prismacolor brand pencil and the other colored pencils I use all the time are of the Staedtler brand.)

I'm so so so sorry! I promised last week that I would have maybe two art requests done by this week. And-and-and- *bursts into tears* I DIDN'T. I don't. I haven't. I should've. I could've. And *insert all the others words for I lied and didn't do what I promised.* DX

I'm very sorry I didn't get the first one done. I'm super close, though. I have, like, less than half of the picture to color...?

So instead of being able to post the fully colored art request from Sarah (she was the first one to ask for art, and I'm doing a first come, first served kind of thing), I'll show you all a sneak peek of what I've colored so far!

What do you think so far? After I had inked it... I realized I forgot an important detail to Sarah's request. :1 She's supposed to have a cloak. 

And I didn't add it. 

Phooey. 

I feel like I'm saying sorry a lot in this post. I'm terribly, terribly sorry, Sarah!!!! I hope you can forgive me... :( I'll try my hardest to make the rest of the coloring make up for that.

You're all probably wondering why the ham and eggs would I want a new posting schedule. The reason is... with this new schedule, I'll be posting more frequently and there will be more art spread through out; instead of having an art dump every couple of weeks. I want to share my art with you more. :) 

So! My schedule will be posting every other Saturday instead of each Saturday. No! Don't worry! I'm not finished telling you my whole new schedule yet. And I'll post on every Monday and Thursday! Those two extra post will be a lot shorter because I'll just be posting one piece of art I've done recently, but it won't mean less content for my blog. 

I hope this is okay with you! I really feel like this help me show you more art, which I want to do so badly. If this new schedule is not working for me in the next couple months, I'll switch back to my old one. But starting this week, I'll start the new schedule. :) I'm rather excited! XD

See you on Monday, faeries!!!

*bursts into song*

♫I guess I'm stuck here,

Until my luck clears,

Blue skies painted in my eyes!♫

*wants to keep going but holds back because that would be weird if I sang a whole song on my blog*

*mumbles* I'm. Still. Completely. Normal. 

Heh! Who am I kidding? ♫I'm an oddity but that's alright!♫

What's your thoughts on my new schedule?
