Have a Christmas Sketch

Merry Christmas!

Have a drawing of one of my charries in a Santa hat.

Chirstmas Commission

An image (a rather cruddy one) of the commission I did for some family friends for Christmas. It was an 11x14, so too big to scan and I had to take a picture of it and bleh. It really does look better than this and he was happy  with it so yay! xD

Things I am Drawing When I have Actual Commissions to Finish

Yup.

Joppa

"I'll just do a sketch," though the artist as she started drawing one morning before Mass. But then--her hand slipped.

His name is Joppa. I hadn't even considered drawing this charrie yet, I think his hair looked daunting, but it actually worked out nicely. I'm quite pleased with this one even if his little smile isn't as big and mischievous as I wanted it to be. 

And.. just a random little doodle that i made in the usual pose because it's so easy to do:

Random Character Scribbles

Yeah, that is my handwriting, that thing you can't read there. xD. This is Suyin, I love her. I drew her in her hat, I'm actually not sure if it's big enough, but I drew it :D

 And this is Netta, unfortunately, she doesn't look at all like herself here. She really looks like this and she's gorgeous.

 

And then the random drifting character with proportions that seem to be slightly off and I am too lazy to fix. Her name is Ronnie and I am fond of her.

Oni

Well, Lookie Here...

Since there has been a severed lack of postage going on here, I leave you with a couple of school doodles until I can draw a nice big portrait.

 

Completion (and it's about time too!)

And there was much rejoicing and heavenly music from a stray chorus of angels passing by.

So here's the lowdown: I'm pretty happy with it, not totally, it's rough, it's still a bit bumpy as is pretty obvious in the pics. The highs are a biiitt high up, and it doesn't look so hot from the back. But really, generally speaking, I'm pretty happy with it, I mean, this is my first paper mache project. Ever. The good news being, that if I ever have to do this again, next time, I'll know what I'm doing rather than winging like heck through the whole project (With help from Google, thanks Google! You're a real pal!) I would have spent more time on it, but Halloween's only a few days away, so I guess good enough will have to do. I'd attempt more detailing on it, but we're out of red paint so I can't erase mistakes. I'll probably do a bit of tweaking still, but this is pretty much the finished project.

So on the whole, 8 outta 10 and I'm happy with it! Next time I need my mad craft skillz, I'll have it figured out.

Day 2

Day 2 of work, (three days in existence, I took Sunday off, cuz I was tired and my head was throbbing almost all day and I wanted to sleep) Still nowhere near down, but it was a layer intended to smook out some of it, not sure if it worked, but it was worth a try :)

Update: Day 3--no pics because it doesn't look so much different (although, much smoother and more fitted.) Maybe I'll get it painted tomorrow?

Batgirl (quicky)

I should be sleeping right now, but I'm not. I have things to do tomorrow and I can't drop dead on my feet. Welp, any time now would be great, common sense.

You may expect a more proficient Batgirl in the future... maybe.

Halloween Prep

 

          Sometimes, occasionally, I attempt to get crafty. But not usually. 

          Despite the late start on my day (the very, very, extremely, my-family-forgot-I-was-sleeping sort of late start) I made use of it and kept myself off the computer. And it was quite wonderful and frustrating and messy. This here is the spawn of six hours of work, much glue, paper mache, all sorts of stuff. It needs a few more coats to even out the lumpiness, some sanding, red paint. 

          I've never done this before. Ever. So, it could still fail, but it's worth trying, and I'll try to keep you posted :D

Friday Doodle. Schweet.

 

A result of a Tempest read-through

Mermaids

 

Found a blank piece of paper that somehow got mixed up in my school supplies. It called for an intricate doodle that turned into a coloration that turned into "well, let's try putting some form of background on it."

I draw weird things. But I like this one, she's creepy. the eyeballs weren't cooperating, so I decided to leave them blank, was going to play with just editing them in. I forgot, and then thought it looked cool.

I also can't draw backgrounds.

I also might be developing an obsession with drawing mermaids. That way I don't have to bother with legs.

A-okay, Mr. J.

A Post of Technical Difficulties

Blogger turns my pictures dark for some strange reason, and I haven't figure out how to fix it yet, besides maybe creating a copy of the drawing that's a heck of a lot lighter. So, it looks weird, but I'll try to figure out what's going on here. *glares at Blogger*

 

 

Still working on the Harley, it's not behaving, and I'm going to have to redraw it and fix a couple of things that I don't like about it. I like the cargo-pants, slightly tougher look though, chances are, she can move in her costume now.

Finally.

 

     Despite the load of homework I have to do, I proclaimed that today was not for that glaring mountain of work, it was for drawing and I'll probably pay for that. But right now, I'm feeling pretty dang good about having some time to finally do my own thing because I have pretty literally have no drawn anything in two weeks, barely more than a couple of doodles in the margin school notes. My brain was starting to die and I was getting pretty stressed, but hey, the stress of a drawing makes me forget all of that so that I have time to be stressed about something else. Even if it's not all that I hoped it would be, I'm not entirely picky today because I FINALLY GOT TO DRAW. I guess it's a Madonna? There wasn't a lot of room to draw halos, as you can see from erased pencil lines there. Although, apparently I should put some effort into learning how to draw more detailed babies, he's got no mouth or nothing there.

My Little Milestone

Welp, it's official, 100 posts and still going strong.

 

I had been planning on drawing you all something exceptionally nice for the hundredth post, but then this happened. I spent forever on her face and I am so very ready to be done with this one for a bit. Not to mention the only thing I've had much cause to be cheerful about within the past 24 hours was the fact that I jogged about a mile without stopping--at any rate, I still haven't found much of a cure for my bad temper (not aided by the fact that my Typepad blog has been suspended due to some complicated things that have nothing to do with me.) Welp, now I have cause for a celebration of some form or another. After I finish homework *cough* 

But yay, 100 posts.

I'll celebrate with ice cream this evening P:

Of Balloons and Silhouettes

In hindsight, it looks like her feet are missing. But they're there, and they shall remain like that until I cease to be lazy. 

 

Yay for Nanowrimo planning xD
