my first real serious drawing using just my tablet. I usually just scan some lineart and then color it with my tablet, but this was all from scratch. the coloring style was inspired by an oekaki that I saw yesterday. it was the first time I have ever colored something like that, so it still needs to be perfected. I also tried doing a semi-serious hand, and it actually looks like one! kinda.

anyway, I haven't been on here in forever and I wanted to add something nice to my gallery. too bad I'll probably hate it in the morning.

I've been doing a lot of fan art for the story that I've been writing, and here's another one. Personally, I love this one. This is Lyrian again, but this is when he's transforming from a fire sprite to a human. sad, isn't it?

well on Monday we'll be starting a new project in art class. I guess we just have to illustrate for a book and I was thinking of sleeping beauty. This isn't what I'm turning in, but this is what my drawing is gonna end up looking like.

I kinda like this. it has a sort of stained glass look to it. but for some reason the lines look really thick. and yes, I know. she doesn't have a face

and if you're wondering, those grey things on her shoulders were part of her dress, but I guess I should have done them a different color because now they look like wings. oops

my first actual picture of Lyrian! he's going to be a main character in a book that I'm writing. I just recently got the style of him down, so I drew this in celebrtation!

so, anyway, what's going on is that Lyrian used to be a fire spirit, but for reasons I haven't decided on yet, he is turned into a human by his wrathful brethren. so here he stands, close to his people, but he really is so far away from them.

now, this is a serious picture but I plan on making Lyrian very lighthearted and a little goofy. I just thought this looked cooler. originally, I was gonna give the sprites wings, but I thought they looked fine without them. (they're the ones that started the fires, just so you know, and yes, those are trees XP)

now that the movies are comming out, I've decided to read the entire series of 'a series of unfortunate events' to refamiliarize myself with them. If you haven't read these books, then you are SERIOUSLY missing out. I ususally don't like books that aren't fantasy, but these are absolutely fantastic!

now, that being said, for you sad sorry people who haven't read the book, from right to left is Klause, then Violet, and the baby is Sunny. they're all siblings, and the eye above them represents Count Olaf. if you have no idea what I'm talking about, then go read the books you silly goose!

sorry it's so big! x_X photos do that to me..

but yes, anyhow, I drew this about a week ago in art class. It's drawn in ink. I used my hand as a referance, and I got a picture of a butterfly to use.

in reality, the actual hand is...handsized. I didn't want to make it smaller because sometimes, that makes the picture blurry, and I didn't want to risk it.

I am aware that there are a few flaws in some of the finger thickness, but other than that, I'm VERY proud of this ^^ I even sent it in as an entry to the literary magazine at school, which accepts pictures.

whoo! this took a bit of time x_X' I think it turned out nice though. and I actually did a halfway decent background! ^^

I particularly like the witch girl. the background is so-so, and was thrown in at the last minute, but the colors are kind of neat.

o.@ I like the spider websss!
