Profiles - Oodles of Doodles

Hello, faeries!

I've sorta recently started a new doodle notebook/kinda sketchbook thing. XD I've been doing lots of profiles of random people. It's super fun to draw a profile because:

1. It's just shoulders and up. 
2. You get to focus on the face and hair.
3. It's just fun, in general. XD

And it's nice to not have the pressure of making it look perfect because it's just a doodle.

I feel like showing you guys what my notebook looks like. I got for Christmas like... two(?) years ago. XDD I'm slow at actually using my gifts that I get. :P

Isn't it really pretty? XDDDD I really like the saying on it. :3

...

*takes deep breath* Okay, now on to the more interesting stuff. Art! :O 

This is the second entry in the notebook. (*whispers* First one was a little title/introduction page and is rather boring. So I'm not posting it. XD) This drawing is me trying to draw a whimsical girl. I was just trying different techniques for her eyes and stuff. :P 

*glares at drawing* The shirt looks like I was inspired my Barbie Fairytopia. *does a slow face palm* XDD

After drawing the pink haired girl I still wanted to draw but I didn't know what. So I asked Lostfairy if she had any requests. She told me I should draw Black Gryph0n/Gabriel Brown. 

So I did. XD 

I didn't have anyyyyyyyyyyyy reference photos. Uh, yeah, that's probably why it doesn't really look like him. Actually, on second thought! Reference photos of Gabe haven't helped me before so, I don't know what happened here! XDD

Okay, quick story! I drew a few of these doodles at family friend's house. And one of the boys there saw me coloring Gabe. And he asked if I did that just now. I told him yes. And (I think???) I handed him my notebook or I flipped the page to the next blank page. And he was, like, "Woah! You drew this yourself? I thought it was a coloring book!!!! :OOO" I'm like "Whut. da. heck...? @.@ Does this drawing look like a coloring page to you??! What coloring book would have manga profiles to color in?!!" XD I didn't actually say that to him but I thought it. :P In reality, I laughed politely and told I had drawn it. >.< 

Ahem! Anyway! XD

Next, I drew a vampire. Yup. I drew a vampire. Now I'm one of those kind of people... XD Just kidding!

I don't know why I drew a vampire, to be honest. XD *shrugs* Just felt like it. :P She's kinda cutesy vampire that wouldn't do much harm. ^.^

*talks in derpy voice and smiles a funny small smile* I attempted to draw a map. c: It didn't work out so well. :3 XDD

This is a vent doodle. I drew the hand wayyyy too small and pointy looking. So I made it into a robot hand and then gave the girl metal plating and stuff. XD So she started out being a normal girl and then turned into a homeless looking cyborg. XD Yup, cause, heck, that makes sense! O.O XDD

ZUKO, MY FIERY PRINCE BAE. <3

Lost requested this art, too. It's the stage of Zuko where his hair is growing out and it's really cute. It makes him look way younger. (Surprisingly, it was pretty easy to draw Zuko's hair! O.O Usually my short haircuts on guys look funny. But this time it turned out really really good! XD) 

Another day, I was bored and wanted to draw something, so Swirlshine got to request art from me. And she asked for a human version of her dog, Beauty. 

I like incorporating the animal details to the girl I drew. (I'm totally going to draw a lot more furries/shape-shifters now!)

Anddd, because I like sneak peeks and WIPs of art, I'm posting a WIP of a doodle I'm working on.

I'm drawing my new favorite Animal Crossing characters as humans. XD

- - -

On a side note, because this post was so long and had a ton of art pieces, I might do a really short post on Thursday or none at all. I just thought I'd let you know. :)

What's your favorite Nintendo game to play? Right now, Animal Crossing New Leaf is my favorite. ;) 

Tales of the Month and a Couple of Sneak Peeks

Hey faeries!

Summer's just motoring right along, isn't it?

...

*tries to think of creative things to say in this intro*

*can't*

*slumps over and puts head on the desk and mumbles something about not having a lot of creativity in the writing department - so sorry if this post doesn't make a whole lot of sense*

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

This book is about: Harry's in his second year in Hogwarts. And, ignoring the warnings about danger from a strange little house-elf, things are actually going semi-normal. But, one day, Harry starts hearing creepy whispers and people at the school are becoming Petrified! And, to add to the list of things that are making life harder for Harry, he has a famous new teacher who seems to know nothing about teaching; there's a new Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team that despises Harry; and the house-elf's "help" is far from being helpful and closer to being harmful. Can Harry figure out what's happening at school before it's too late? 

I love Chamber of Secrets so much! Everything was amazing! Again, this book is so perfectly charming. And *does a little happy dance* there was a few Draco scenes!!!! <3 XD There were two characters in the book that were kinda annoying, but I still loved it. The ending to the book was twisty and awesome. XD 

Sundae My Prince Will Come by Suzanne Nelson

This book is about: Mali loves ballet. Mali's mom loves the ice cream parlor, which means that her mom doesn't get Mali's passion. Things are a little tight with money for them, so when the Mali's ballet lessons start costing more, Mali has to quit. And, then Mali meets Alonzo. Alonzo's love is gelato. So Alonzo makes a deal with Mali that he would get his mom, who is a famous ballet dancer, to teach her ballet and he would work in the ice cream parlor. With drama, secrets, and gelato, what could go wrong?

Like all Suzanne Nelson books, this one was darling. It was different having a main character in a book who already has a boyfriend. The main character was kinda judgmental at the beginning, so that was also intriguing to read. :o And Alonzo's way of talking was adorkable. He's from Italy so English isn't his first language and you can tell. <3 He struggled a little with his words. XD

To sum it up, it was a really sweet book! ^-^

Kare Kano: His and Her Circumstances, Vol. 1 by Masami Tsuda

This book is about: Yukino is at the top of her class. She's good at everything and the whole school admires her. But then she starts high school, and there's a new boy in town. Arima (or Soiichiro as some call him) seems to be even more perfect than Yukino. Yukino's feels threatened by Arima. So she tries everything she can to get to the top again. One day, Arima finds out that Yukino isn't as perfect as she makes herself out to be and he blackmails her into doing his homework. Maybe Arima isn't so perfect either. Will Yukino and Arima learn that they don't have to be the best at everything?

I know this book sounds like the main character is a terrible role-model, and she, technically, kind of is, but she slowly gets better as the book goes on. XD And art style was amazing in this graphic novel!!! I loved it. <3 I could just stare at some of the panels, just trying to understand all the art techniques. The romance was cute and, although the story was rather random sometimes, I honestly loved it so much. Everything was just so anime-ish! c:

On a side note, the book was clean, except for a some swear words. :1 I just ignored those.

- - -

So, I promised two sneak peeks in the title of this post, didn't I? :3 

Can you guess what this is going to be? C; This little project won't be finished for awhile, so you'll have to be patient. XD 

This sneak peek is just giving you a small taste of what some of my art will be next week. :D Hint: I'm using markers more. 

What do you think of the sneak peeks?

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? 

WIP on CS

Hey faeries!

Yup, I'm showing you another WIP I'm drawing on CS. XD

It's of Black Gryph0n again. XD I'm having fun doing it, but a little worried about the coloring part. XDDD I think I'm close to figuring out layers, but I'm not quite there yet. I let you know once I've unlocked the mystery about layers. ;P

Not much to say about this art. XDD 

Soooo...

*talks in derpy voice* Bye! *ducks down and is gone*

What are you working on?

Superhero Me - WIP

Hey faeries!

Me and my sister were bored on Tuesday, so we decided to find an art prompt online and draw it. The art prompt we chose was to draw yourself as an original superhero. I haven't quite finished it yet. So I'm just going to show you my WIP. XD

Ta-da!!! XD I'm going to add a lot more details to my suit, shade the whole picture, and do bunch more stuff. Hopefully, I will get it done this weekend so I show you the finished product on Monday! :O 

In case you were wondering, my Gabe Brown Masterpiece on AJ didn't get approved because it had a name on it. DX So I got rid of the Brown part of Gabe's name. (Maybe then AJHQ will approve it??? *crosses fingers* XD)

Happy first day of summer!!!!!!!! :D

Ghirahim - uncolored art

Hey faeries! 

Yikes, school has been keeping me busy! I haven't drawn at all this week. So I'm running out of art to post. XDD Therefore, I'm posting some art I have actually finished but I'm showing you the unfinished work. :P Does that make a lick of sense to you? XD

Anyhoo, I been wanting to draw Ghirahim from Skyward Sword for quite some time now. And just a week or so ago, I finally got around to doing it. ;)

I didn't come up with the pose idea myself. I looked at someone else's art for help on how to draw it right. 

(I forgot to get a link to the site which this picture can be found, sorry!)

Here's the picture I looked at. (I love this artist's art style!)

Since the weekend is nearly upon us, I'll hopefully will have more time to draw.

- - -

Welp, two of my siblings and I are going out today to get ice cream! It's so hot out right now! XD Last time we went out to go get something cold, we went for an hour long walk around a park in our city. It was so fun. I think we're going to eat our ice cream on the go today, too. ^.^ (I don't know why I'm telling you this, but I am, so... XD)

What do you like to do when it gets super hot outside?

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? 

Oh, Hey, There's More Art, Fancy That!

Oh goodness, it's Friday evening when I'm writing this and I'm so tired. But it helps to listen to Owl City's Cinematic CD. XD Let's see if this will make a lick of sense when I proofread it tomorrow. :P

*hums quietly along to "Not All Heroes Wear Capes"* Man, I love this album... XDD

"Childhood Friendship"

Okay!

I wanted to try out my alcohol-based markers again. (Last time was a flop. Here's the post about it. XD) I knew chibi was pretty easy to draw so I found a really cute reference base picture and drew it on some watercolor paper my older sis, Tracey, gave me.

You see, my brother, Josiah, got The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (I can't say that name without thinking of DanTDM's way of saying it... XDD) a couple months ago. And he's been playing it all the time with me and my younger sis, Lostfairy, watching. And so, as you can see, I love the game and I love drawing fan art for anything. So! That means I had to draw BOTW fan art!

I was first thinking that it would just be chibi versions of Link and Zelda, but then my dad saw what I was drawing and he said that they looked like little kids. I liked that idea, and I proceeded to simplify their outfits and make them look like kids.

I think this would be kinda how their relationship would look like if they had been friends as kids. XD

"Cool Dude"

Remember when I showed you faeries what I was working on a few weeks ago? Well, I colored it not long after and forgot to post it. XDD (Here's the link to the post.)

(I think he's a pretty cool looking guy. XD)

"Zutara"

For all of you who don't know these two "lovers," they are Katara and Zuko. AKA. Katara and my hot anime bae. XDD Their from one of my favorite TV shows called Avatar: the Last Airbender. (Which is a little bit of a *cough cough* strange show, but I love it. XDD)

Katara and Zuko aren't really a couple in the show, but I wish they were. Hence the ship name, Zutara. :P

I used a reference base photo for this drawing because *mumbles* I don't know how to draw kissing people. XDD I changed a few things up from the reference. Like, Zuko's right hand had only three fingers and a thumb. (How'd that happen??! XDDD) And Zuko's left hand was in a kind of strange position... So I made him running his hands through Katara's hair. Because that's what they do all the time in movies, right??? XD 

I was also thinking Katara is all shocked and embarrassed and Zuko's totally cool with kissing her. :P (And he's totally enjoying it, too...)

"Northern Lights"

I was feeling like drawing northern lights because I've never done that. And so I drew an abstract-y night sky and scenery. 

It wasn't supposed to be, but the little girl on the picture ended up looking a lot like the main character from Undertale, named Frisk. XD

One of my sisters, I think Lostfairy, said that the lights made her think of worms. XDD *laughs* I can totally see why!!

And Tracey thinks that the lights are like the northern lights in Owl City's Lucid Dreaming music video.

"Sad Draco"

I haven't read Harry Potter, but I really want to. And I've been looking in to it, and I really taken a liking to one character already. His name is Draco Malfoy. He's so tortured, how could I not like him? XDD And I saw this one picture where he's doing that same pose that's in my drawing, and I wanted to draw it. XD

I drew this with Lostfairy watching me and helping me again, because she is such a helpful and sweet and encouraging sister. ;) <3

It was fun drawing such sad eyes. XD I usually only draw eyes like that in doodles and not in actual drawings, because most of my people in my drawings are happy or serious, not super sad. :P

"Draco Malfoy"

Yes, I drew another Draco. XD He seems like such a cool character!! Even if he may be the bully... Um, yeah, that sounds weird. *laughs nervously* Heh, heh. Maybe he just doesn't know any better...? And, um, his outfit is... awesome! Ha. *shakes head at self* Yeah, no, that's not very convincing. XD

Pencil drawings are fun to do, and I got to try a technique I've been wanting to do a while. It's wear you draw a bunch of straight lines one way and the bunch more in a bunch of directions. Mhm, *nods* I know my snuff!!! XDD

It's called crosshatching and I learnt that trick from Manga Crash Course, best how to draw manga book ever. XDD

Anyway! I got to use the technique on Draco's sweater. 

I sometimes think that Draco's outfit looks a little like a anime schoolboy uniform. And I love school uniforms for some reason! XD (Though, I think I'd like them less if I had to wear one to school everyday... Yay, for homeschool! Where I can wear comfy sweats and baggy hoodies all day... XD)

"Emotions"

*puts hands up and backs way and smiles sheepishly* So I'm a little obsessed with Draco right now! Heh! That's not weird. Right? Heh, heh. *rubs the back of neck nervously* 

I've seen quite a few drawings where people draw a lots of emotions of one person on one picture. And I thought it looked so cool, and I wanted to draw something like that, too. :) 

I drew neutral, angry, smug/happy, and sad. I first drew the basic shapes for all the Draco's, so I'd know if I had enough room. And once I was done that a drew them all one by one. It was really fun! I don't think I've drawn one person so many times, it's crazy! XD 

The angry one looks super pouty mad. XDD And my neutral face for Draco is slightly grumpy or sad. :P

Oh! *is excited* Do you like how I have the smug Draco holding an apple?!!! There's a ship name for Draco and his apple! XDD Drapple!!!! :O XD He's often holding a green apple, so people think him and an apple are a great couple. XDDDD

You have no idea how hard it was drawing an apple to fit nicely in Draco's hand... I had to redraw and redraw and redraw. But I think it paid off. :P

It's so sad when Draco cries. He's not really the most pretty crier, but that's one of the reasons it's so sad. I made the sad Draco in my drawing have a tear in one eye. 3:

I didn't have enough time to color the Draco emotions picture before I posted this, so later I'll show you how it looks like finished.

- - -

XD I hope that wasn't too much Draco for you! Don't worry, though, I'm mostly sure that the next time I post art won't have a million, trillion, billion Draco pictures. XDD *whispers* Maybe, just, you know, a couple... Nothing too crazy. 

So, that was my art from the past couple weeks. What do you think? Are you looking forward to summer as much as I am?!

Art from the Past Few Weeks and WIP

Faeries! I must warn you... This is going to be a shortish post. XD I don't have a ton of art to show you, but I felt like showing it anyway. :D

I drew fan art! I love drawing fan art so much. XD I watched DanTDM play this game called "Among the Sleep." (Really cool game, you should see it! XD) And in that game, your character is a baby/toddler and there is nightmare dreamy stuff. AKA. it's super awesome! :P 

Anyway! I watched DanTDM play it. And I liked that series of videos he did on that game so much I wanted to draw fan art. So I did. As you can see, already. XD Yup, I drew DanTDM in a onesie. 

In my drawing, Dan was supposed to look more like a toddler rather than, like, a four or five year old. XD Oops. XP 

This one was inspired by a message I head at my church a couple Sundays ago. It was about how we can see God but not see Him. Like, we can see that God is God, but not the God who gives miracles or blessings.

I wanted to draw a picture about seeing without seeing. So I made the girl have wide open eyes like she's looking but she doesn't see the light so she is reaching out to find her way. Does that make sense? XD

Here's my school project!!! Remember how I mentioned that I had to draw a picture of a fourteenth century scene for my school? Well, here is it. XD

Heh, I'm not entirely sure if it's accurate. :P I just looked up on Google Images "fourteenth century england lords clothes" or something. XD I copied a picture of a lord's and a lady's clothes and made them totally chibi. XD 

Here's the picture I copied from. XD

By the way, do you know if they had duck ponds in the fourteenth century??? :P

This is my work in progress right now. I just inked it on Thursday and I hope to color it this weekend. :D If my Hamlet reading and essay stuff for school don't take up too much time or if I feel like coloring. XDDD

I used a reference photo for this; otherwise I wouldn't have done the background so detailed. XDD And if you are wondering how I got my lines so straight when I normally don't have straight lines in my drawings, I used a ruler. :3

He is sitting on some steps in front of some wooden doors, not sure if that really turned out to look like sitting, but, whatever, XD and he supposed to be leaning forward, again, not sure if that worked out. I think he'll look more like he is leaning once I color and shade it. :D 

What were you up to last week?

One Lovely Blog Award and Other Random Stuff

Howdy! *wink wink* Did you catch that reference to Undertale? XD

I'm so unprepared for this post today. DX Usually I have the post almost done by Saturday or at least try to be and have a clear idea about what I want to post... But not today! XD

Today is going to be full of random stuff. :P

I was thinking I had one or two tags I still needed to do. So I'll do one today. :)

I got tagged by Lostfairy for a tag called One Lovely Blog Award. :D She tagged two months short of a year ago. Oops. Sorry, Lost!!! D: So all you have to do for the tag is say seven facts about yourself. It's pretty simple.

Let's a go! *groans* I'm so full of references today.

1. I don't like making cards. Yes, I'm a crafty kind of person. But making cards is not my strong suit. The math of measuring the right amount of card paper is a little confusing sometimes. XD But card making has been growing on me recently. So maybe one day, I'll have lots of fun making them. :P
2. I only seriously started drawing a year ago. What I mean by seriously drawing is I actually wanted to learn more about art and techniques. Anytime earlier than a year ago I'd just say "Pffft, why would I want to know that?" if anyone tried to teach me anything about art. But now I just want to keep getting better and better and learn more and more.
3. My family is my best friends. We all get along together so well. I love hanging out with them so much. Whenever we're together fun and laughter are always present. :D 
4. Last summer I kept a detailed journal of everything I did. Heh, I don't really journal now. :P But right at the beginning of summer, I wrote in my journal almost every day. At the mid point to end point of the summer I didn't do nearly as much. XD And now I don't really do it at all. XD
5. I laugh at everything. Seriously. My sis, Lost, she can say anything. And I will laugh at it. XD I don't know why I laugh so much, but it's fun. XDDD 
6. You say three to five and I say five to three. Yup. For some random reason when I say numbers out loud like that I usually say the bigger number first. I don't know why, but that's just how I think. :P
7. I could drink one hot chocolate a day and be happy. Okay, correction, I don't think I'd be happy to drink hot chocolate once a day in summer. XD I loooooovvve hot chocolate. It's so yummy and rich and warm. I love all kinds of hot chocolate; mint, white, mocha, french vanilla, pretty much any kind of hot chocolate. 

I know I'm supposed to tag other people, but I'm don't know who hasn't done it yet. So anyone who feels like doing this tag can!

Last week I told you faeries what I was working on. And now I'm done it and I feel like showing you!

It wasn't supposed to be at the beginning, but it turned out to look like Lostfairy a little bit. She doesn't have hair in that style, but the jacket and mittens and sweats look like hers. XD 

This is my first time doing lighting like that on the girl. And I had fun! :D It was easier than I thought it would be. I just had to color the turquoise bit on the girl first before I colored the rest. :3 

Here's the next drawing I'm working on.

*squeals* Doesn't he look positively evil and adorable?! XD That's what I wanted him to look like anyway. CX 

I made this online this week. :D I was thinking of a Peter Pan quote when I wrote this. ;) It didn't turn out like I was thinking it would. But I think I'm pretty happy with the result.

I'm not sure if you know this about me yet, I like to bake a little. I can't say I'm very good. I am still such a newbie when it comes to baking. 

Anyway, I made cake pops/cake balls yesterday. I did the slash because they weren't really cake pops... Because I didn't feel like putting them on sticks. XD So they are cake balls. 

Oh goodness, in the picture they look gross. Sorry for the bad quality pic!!!  

It's a salted caramel mocha chocolate cake ball. 

I kinda made my own recipe with these... XD Like I did use recipes, but I put the recipes together.  I used a simple chocolate cake recipe for it. And a mocha frosting recipe. And a easy caramel sauce recipe. And then my mom had some chocolate sea salt to sprinkle on it. 

I think they tasted pretty good. But it was probably because Tracey, my older sis helped me make the frosting and my Mom helped me make the caramel sauce. XD

I'm really sorry for not replying to your comments in the past few weeks. I will try my best to catch up on comments next week! 

What have you been doing last week? Do you like cake pops? 

Art from Christmas

Hey faeries!!!

Whew. This week has been, well, school-filled. It's weird to think that just last week I wasn't doing school and now I am. D: The only good thing that I can think of about school is one of the projects I have to do. And it involves drawing!* Yay! I get to draw a scene of some people from the fourteenth century. I'm thinking of drawing some cute little chibi people in fancy old fashioned outfits in a castle courtyard or something. :D I'll show you guys when I'm done it! 

*I don't have an art class in my school (aka. my home XD) so this is super cool for me! XD

- - -   

Remember when I said I was working on some art but I couldn't show you it because I was going to give it to my siblings for Christmas?

Well, Christmas is definitely past now. So I think it's safe for me to show you. ;) XD

Often when I draw for my family members I try to draw something from a movie or TV show or some other fandom that they really like. But for my Mom and Dad, it's kinda super hard to think of something like that. But this year, I asked my parents if it was okay if I drew them something random. (No, I didn't spoil their Christmas gift! The whole family knew I was drawing pictures for them for gifts. They just didn't know what I was drawing. XD) So my gift for them was just a random girl I came up with from the top of my head. ^.^ 

I didn't look at any reference base pictures for this drawing, so the proportions might be a little off. XD But it was sooooo nice making the girl's sweater have long sleeves so I didn't have to draw hands!!!!! I went a little willy-nilly with her hair, but I think it turned out okay. XD 

I drew this picture for my older sister, Tracey. It's from an amazing story called The Brightest Thread she wrote and wants to get published! :O It's a Sleeping Beauty retelling. 

I used no base for this... And I should have! DX I made the guy's neck and head waaaaaay too small. *cries forever* And the girl's head looks little... wonky. XD

Yeah, I like it for the most part. But I keep seeing all the mistakes. 

I drew this for my bro, Josiah. He likes these three YouTubers. From left to right, Jacksepticeye, DanTDM, and Markiplier. 

In case you don't know what they look like, I made a handy-dandy collage of them. 

The pictures of these guys are some of the ones I looked at while drawing. XD

I'm pretty sure those guys are goofy. Not for sure, I've only watched one video of Markiplier and none of Jacksepticeye. But I have watched tons of DanTDM so I know he's silly! XDD And I wanted to draw them all doing some kind of silly-ish pose. 

The drawing is one of my favorites I drew for my family this Christmas. ^.^

Credit to Lostfairy for taking a picture of my drawing. XD

It's Link! I love The Legend of Zelda so much!!!! Link is my video game crush... XDD 

I drew this picture for my sister, Lostfairy. <3 She loves The Legend of Zelda video games a lot, like me. :P And one of her favorite games is The Skyward Sword. So I drew Link wearing the outfit he wears in that game. But his hair is a tad on the greenish side in that game, so I changed it to be more yellowy blond like from Breath of the Wild. :P 

Here's a picture of Link from The Skyward Sword. :) 

In case you wanted to know, I used a reference base for my drawing.

It's a pretty simple base, but I still had a hard time with the hands. XD (Though, I think the Link drawing is again one of my favorite drawings I did for Christmas.)

I drew this for a good friend of mine for Christmas. :3 She really likes this TV show called Avatar: the Last Airbender. And I love it, too! XD And one of her favorite characters is a firebender named Zuko. <3 

Here's picture of him. XD Zuko's such a grumpy guy, but I love him. XDDD

I don't know if you guys want to know, but here's something I'm working on at the moment. :D

I still have to add the light spots and stuff to her eyes and then I'll color it. C: 

I felt like drawing her in a parka because it's still really cold outside and I don't do a lot of winter pictures, in general. And for some random reason I wanted to draw a magical tornado. XDDD I don't know why I felt like drawing that. :P

Welp, I think this post is done for today! XD I hope you guys enjoyed! And have an amazing weekend!!! :D

What's your favorite video game or TV show?
