Inktober - Week 3

Hi faeries!!! :D

Sorry this is late! >.<

I can't believe I've done three full weeks of Inktober. I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would. C: Like, I'm almost sad it's ending soon. DX

For the third week, the theme I was doing was fairy tales and classics. I based quite a number of my drawings from Disney characters, but added my own twist on them. 

Day 14: clock

Yehet! I finally drew a chibi person in a more squishy style. Before this, the chibis I drew became too long and slender to be actual chibi. >.< I think the reason why that happened because I wanted to proportion them right or something. XD 

I had to look up how to draw chibi bodies or something and I saw a really helpful base, but I can't seem to find it again. So I can't show you even if I wanted to. XDD 

I started using gray markers in Inktober art, too. They're super fun to use. ^-^

I don't do backgrounds a lot, but I tried to do one in this Cinderella drawing. It was supposed to be more abstract and maybe even dream-like, but I'm not sure if it just ended up being strange. XD 

Day 15: weak

I drew Cowardly Lion as a human, furry, shape-shifter thing. (Please, someone, tell me, what he is. XD 'Cause I have no idea what to call him.) Sadly, his ears blend into his hair a bit. Whoops. 

It was fun to draw such a scared expression and add the sweat drop to express his nervousness. 

Cowardly Lion in the movie always plays with his tail when he's scared, so I wanted to have my version doing it, too. The hand pose was easier than I thought it would be, but I know it isn't entirely accurate.  

Day 16: angular

Angular also means stiff. I think the Steadfast Tin Soldier is pretty stiff. :P The Tin Soldier is missing one of his legs from just above the knee and down, by the way.

I recently watched Fantasia 2000 for the first time. And I was so inspired by the Tin Soldier animation in there, that I drew my own twist on it. 

I had to use a reference photo for drawing the two side profiles.

Day 17: swollen 

Alice from Alice and Wonderland growing bigger isn't really swollen, but that's all I could think of for this prompt. XD

The angle I tried (and failed) to draw was a upward one, so like looking up at her. I've never done that before, so maybe it isn't too bad for a first, but stillllll. The drawing wasn't how I wanted it to be. 

Gosh, though, those clouds were so fun to draw. XD

Day 18: bottle

Eep, this was such an enjoyable prompt to draw!!!! XD 

Tinkerbell is one of my favorite characters in Peter Pan classic. (Okay, I love all the characters, but who can blame me? They're all so lovable.) 

Can you tell that I love abstract backgrounds and swirls and stars and sparkles? XD Seriously, they are so fun to draw. And I like the look of them.

Day 19: scorched

Heh, too bad I'm not doing the book theme anymore. Scorch Trials vibes, anyone? XD

I thought Smaug was kinda scorched-able, right? Heh. XD And since I'm drawing only humans for Inktober, I made Smaug a man. A ruthless businessman. *wiggles eyebrows* Because all ruthless businessmen hold hearts, yes? That's a perfectly normal activity. CX

I spent a lot of time coloring this drawing. I wanted to get the lighting right on his suit so it would like he was very near a light source. The light source being his fiery wings I "tried" to draw. XD

Day 20: breakable

This is my own Evil Queen, I was slightly (okay, a lot) inspired by Once Upon a Time's Evil Queen. XD 

I had fun drawing all those swirls for the fog/smoke thing. I looked up cracked mirrors to get an idea of how to draw them, and then I went crazy with the cracked mirror. XD

She didn't end up looking as cruel as wanted her to look, but I suppose that will have to be okay. XD I tried a new thing for me, by making her eyes shadowed on the bottom, instead of the top. I'm not sure if it looks good in my style, I'll have to try that technique again sometime and see how it looks then.

Gosh, I started writing this post on Monday and I'm only posting it now on Thursday. Sorry about that!! It's almost time to post this week's art, heh. XD

Do you have a favorite type of background in art? Abstract, realistic, or something else?

Inktober - Week 2

Hey there, faeries!!!

Whoops, didn't mean for this to be posted a day late. XD I just drew the Saturday's artwork wayyyy later than usual, and then I wanted to hang out with my sisters. XD So, yeah, in the end, I didn't get on the computer to write. :P

ALSO, ON A SUPER HAPPY NOTE. I PASSED MY DRIVER'S TEST ON THURSDAY. (Yikes, I was so tense and nervous that morning.) YAYYYYYYYYYY. 

I NEED A GIF TO FIT MY MOOD.

EXO GIF, HERE WE GOOOO. 

THERE. PERFECT. THAT IS MY MOOD, YEHET~!

Day 7: exhausted.

This week's theme for me is books I think should be more popular. 

For day 7, I drew Serge from Disenchanted. He is my wonderful fancy fairy bae. And, sadly, he's exhausted a lot of the time. DX 

Also, I can't draw stellar wingtip shoes. Don't look at his feet, they are ugly. XD

Day 8: star.

This is from Lunar Chronicles, which I know is pretty popular, but it could use even more love. XD I drew Cress, cuz I thought stars and her match pretty well. C:

Never mind, *throws hands up in defeat* I don't know how to draw wingtips or bare feet. XD Cress's feet are kinda weird looking. Heh. (By the way, Cress's dress is supposed to be well worn, but I don't think it worked out so good when I drew it.)

Day 9: precious.

A Pocket Full of Murder is such a beautifully written book. Isaveth, the main character, finds paper, even if its just a bit of it, super precious. (She likes to write stories on those bits of paper. CX)

Heh, I seem to be drawing things I don't how to a lot. Now, I've drawn a bike, and I have no clue how to draw that. XD I had to look at the cover of A Pocket Full of Murder, which has a bike on it, to even get it slightly right.

Day 10: flowing.

Jack Blank is an awesome series. It has superheros, ninjas, and androids and a bunch more cool stuff. 

The girl I drew is a character called Allegra. She has this power where she can change her body's density and shape and stuff. In my drawing, I tried to make it look like she was opening a hole in her stomach to avoid the laser thing shooting at her. But it ended up looking way grosser than I intended. XD

Day 11: cruel. 

Now I've drawn Hook from Everland, a Peter Pan retelling. It's a really awesome steampunk book. <3 Hook is a little bit cruel, but I drew him because I think the world is crueler to him. Things just don't work out for him. XD

Hook has a metal arm, instead of a hook, by the way.

Day 12: whale.

Oh, man, I couldn't think of anything that worked for whale, so this one is a stretch. XD It's Nightlight from The Guardian series and he can fly and is magic and stuff. So I figured he, in some point in his life, flew over a whale in the night. Heh. XD

Day 13: guarded.

(Of all the drawings I've done so far, I'm happiest with this one. CX) 

This trio is from Sisters Grimm (one of my favorite series ever.). From left to right is, Daphne, Sabrina, and Puck. Daphne and Sabrina are sisters and Puck's a fairy. 

Sabrina's pretty guarded most of the time, so that's why I drew her. I drew the rest of the trio just because I wanted to draw them for the longest time. 

- - -

You know what's sad? The pen I use and share with my sister, Lostfairy, is like almost dead. DX It's my first artist pen I've ever used, so it's sad that's it drying out. But, thankfully, we have a set of pens with the same size tipped pen that hasn't been used yet. XD Whew. :P

Welp, I think that's all for today. See you all next weekend!!!!

What's your favorite Inktober prompt so far?

Here's to New Adventures

Happy New Year!!! That's right! I'm posting for the second time it two weeks on a MONDAY. XD I just felt like I needed to post something today. In case you can't read what it says on the picture, it reads "To live will be an awfully big adventure. -Peter Pan."

- - -

Life's full of adventures. Sure, maybe they aren't all fighting monsters or learning that you're a wizard or going through a magical wardrobe, but their still adventures. 

Do you remember that compliment someone gave you that made your day?

Or that time when the sun was shining and you felt like it was shining just for you?

Do you remember laughing so hard you were crying? 

Or that time you tried something you've never done before and you weren't sure it would work, but it did?

Or that time when someone you loved left you?

Do you remember that time when you found the One who loves you more than you could ever imagine? 

Sometimes adventures are just small moments in life. Sometimes they're life changing ones. Whatever they are, they are still adventures. 

Life is a story waiting to be told. Live out the dreams and wishes you have. Don't be afraid to try new things. Even if you may fail, get back up again. 

Something I've told myself a lot this past year is "enjoy every minute of every day." I'm not saying that there isn't hard stuff in life, I'm just saying look to the One who holds your heart. (That's something I really need to work on.) He can fix anything that is broken.  

Life is so much better if you give it your all and try new things and learn to laugh more.

"To live will be an awfully big adventure." -Peter Pan
