Happy Valentines Day

I had finished this for some cards that my mom needed for Valentines Day I had so much fun drawing it!

What are some things that you all like to do on Valentines Day? 

Rapunzel

I just finished this a second ago. :) Rapunzel is my favorite Disney princess. I so want her hair! Hahaha!

Elsa...only young

It's been a really long time since I posted, and that's mostly because it's been a really long time since I've done any art. So after I finished this picture yesterday, I HAD to post it.

Evenstar

     Alright, it's time I posted something on here. :) Most of you have already seen this, but...still - here it is. It's a sketch of one of the characters from my favorite movie. I'm hoping to be able to post some more of the art I've done soon.  
     Thank's for inviting me to the blog, Nicole! I love it! 

Olaf!

Hi girls!

Here's another sibling drawing! Alaina drew this montage of Olaf that I decided to share. It was too cute. And I'm always amazed at what my siblings can draw at such a young age! Alaina will be 9 in December.

Averie

Hi girls!

Bethany drew this picture of an archer named Averie that I had to share. I thought it was really good! Better than I could do and she's only eleven!!!

Pumpkin plate!!!!

Stone of Memory

I did this yesterday, from start to finish, in one sitting. (That's a speed record for me!) ;)

 (Eden came up with the title. :) )

RIT.

Since I am a pianist this is right up my ally. :) I have a lot of fun drawing this and coloring it as well.

Eowyn

   Hi girls!

 

   Here's a drawing I did of Eowyn. Other than the face shape I think it looks a bit like her which is good for me. :) Usually my drawings don't look anything like who I was trying to draw. So, anyway, I decided to share!

 

Sorry, the scan didn't turn out very well. :(

Blessings,

Cinderella arriving at the ball

I drew this picture during one of Bethany and Alaina's art time during school.
They were learning about the hot dog method of drawing people, where you draw a stick figure, and then give it a little more body.

The Lost Medallion

Sorry it has been so long since I posted everybody! I drew this picture of the lost medallion right after we watched the movie for the first time, which would be in...umm...July? So a pretty long time ago.

For One Of My Best Friends

Hi All,

I made this for my youngest sister and had so much fun that I had to share it with you.

Blessings,
Sarah

Prince Charming

I haven't been drawing a whole lot recently, so here is a drawing I did on November 3rd, 2012. (A long time ago) Have you ever hear of artists drawing things upside down and wondered, "Why on earth would you do that?" I used to think that, but then I read a drawing book and drew a few "upside-down" drawings.  They are actually super fun.

By turning the picture that I was drawing from, upside down, I can do one of two things. Try to actually draw the picture upside down, or focus on the lines, spaces, and shadings that I see (which ends up creating the whole picture.). This is one of my "upside-down" drawings. I call it Prince Charming, just because it is a knight on a horse and that's the first thing that came to mind. A bit cliche, I know.

Tauriel

Hi girls,

So recently our family watched the newest Hobbit movie and I absolutely love the character Tauriel so I decided to try to draw her. There are a few flaws (she looks almost evil. x( and also her face is a little bit out of proportion) but overall I am pleased with the results so I decided to share it.

Love, Kindness, Truth

Here was the requested picture of our hand. I had fun with this. Thanks Nicole!!!!

Hairbrush

This is suppose to be a guinea pig. I call him Hairbrush because that is what he looks like.
Sorry I couldn't get it straight.

My First Post

Hi girls,

I drew this picture today and decided to post it. I want to preface this by saying that I am not very good at drawing. Mostly because I don't have much patience to sit down and do it. :) Plus I just don't have the natural talent as much as some people do. I do enjoy it from time to time, though. That said I probably won't post to much, but I am glad that I am able to sometimes.

Let me tell you a little bit about this picture. It is a drawing of a character from a series of books I have been reading called the Queen's Thief series, named Irene. She is the queen of a country called Attolia and this has made her a different person than she would have been otherwise. It is like she has this mask that is the cruel absolute ruler that her country needs to stay together and not break into civil war, but inside she really hates being cruel and wants to be kind. So I was trying to capture this moment where she is trying to change underneath the mask. Someone who loves her is trying to help her change and she is trying to show that she is trying to change. Someone just said something amusing to try to show love to her and she has one eyebrow raised and her lips almost in a smile, but not quite.

I would love some constructive criticism on this drawing. I think I made the eyes to small, but I liked the shape of them so I didn't try to redo them. I am not sure how to do eyelashes so any ideas on that? My sister Bethany (who is a lot better at drawing then I am) showed me how to do the raised eyebrow. I hadn't done it very well at first and she helped me change it. If you have any pointers on that or any other part of the drawing that could improve it please let me know. I didn't do any shading as I don't know how to do that very well, but all in all I think I captured a little bit of how I imagine this character so I am pretty happy with it.

Thanks!
Michaela

Mr. Bruce Kanegai

I don't know if any of you have heard of this man before, but I had the honor to meet him at a business meeting in California when I went with my parents to take care of Emmaline. At lunch, my grandparents and my parents invited a group of people to have lunch with us. Mom told Mr. Kanegai that I liked to draw and he gave me a basic lesson through lunch (I hardly ate because I was too distracted). The main thing he told me, that I wanted to share with all of you, my artist friends, was the enormous role 'contour' drawings play in the road to becoming a great artist.

A contour, is a drawing that you do from looking at real life objects (no pictures) and it is made up of ONE SINGLE LINE. Mr. Kanegai did this contour in about two minutes on plain notebook paper from his planner, with a cheap ballpoint pen.

 

I know this is not my work, but I wanted to share it with you. And I would like to put out another challenge:

Do a contour of your hand! Go slow, aim small, and just enjoy the fun drawing. (P.S. This one you don't have to post your results)

Princess

I had drawn this picture of Nicole's cat called Princess based on recall. This may not look like her cat, but this is one cat my Mama is not allergic too.

Playing Outside

One of the things that I like to draw is mice. I know some don't like them, but drawing them is so much fun and they can be cute.
Cute for the girls and handsome for the boys. :)
