I has a tumblr!

Helloooo again dear readers!

I wanted to let you know the reason for my long blogspot absence. It's simple really... I discovered the awesomeness of tumblr. It's fun, I can follow tons of amazing artists, it's easy feedback, and I don't have to write much every time I post my art.

All in all, I've found it to be an easier way to share my artwork.

Here's mah new link:

----->   DrawingBlondie.tumblr.com  <-----

Some of you might have a few questions, so I'll try to answer them here...

Why the new blog?

(Already kinda explained up there... ^^)I wanted to try something new... and the amount of fellow artists' tumblr blogs in my bookmarks were threatening to overtake my Chrome. ;]

Will this blog be deleted?

No. I still get lot of activity here, so I'm going to keep it up a for a while.

Are you going to post here anymore though?

Probably not. I might at holidays and such but it's really TBD.

What about future commissions?

Yes! I hope to reopen commissions sometime in the near future, but the info will probably be on my tumblr, not here. 

So there ya go! If you still have questions, let me know in the comments. :)

Thank you all for your continued support!

Adios amigos!

Merry Christmas!

I'm back again, probably with my last post for this year. (I'll be out of town until New Years come Monday...)

Anyway.

Merry Christmas!!

(And a happy New Year!)

Hopefully, I'll try to post more in 2015 than I did this year... oops. High school has taken over my life. But I'll still try.

Jack and Katherine would wish you happy holidays too, but they're a bit busy... ;]

PLEASE DO NOT USE OR RE-POST DRAWINGS WITHOUT THE ARTIST'S PERMISSION. THANK YOU.

Thank you everyone who has blessed me by commenting and encouraging me on my art. You guys make my day!

Merry Christmas, 

and God bless us... 

every one.

Laziness, Christmas, and Newsies

Well.

It has been a while, hasn't it?

Life has been crazy. I'll start with that; however, the only real reason I have not updated this blog is because I'm lazy. (That, and I didn't know what to post and what to say...) My little sister keeps telling me to post a sketch dump, but I hate posting stuff that I'm not at least a bit proud of. 

*cough* Perfectionist alert! *cough*

Yeeeah... I should have a better excuse. Oh well.

*shuffles awkwardly, trying to think of something to say*

Can you believe Christmas is here ALREADY?!?!? Time is flying by faster and faster, it's scary. O_O So many important decisions coming up. Ugh.

Anyway, I should post some arts shouldn't I?

I'll share some sketches I've been working on this last (school-free) weekend: NEWSIES!

(For those of you who don't know, I freakin' love this show. The music, the story, the characters...AHHHHHHHHH!!!! XD AND I'M GONNA SEE IT IN APRIL!! *screams incoherently* I'M SO EXCITED!!!

PLEASE DO NOT USE OR RE-POST THE FOLLOWING PICTURES WITHOUT THE ARTIST'S PERMISSION. THANK YOU.

PLEASE DO NOT USE OR RE-POST DRAWINGS WITHOUT THE ARTIST'S PERMISSION. THANK YOU.

So yeah. It's really exciting 'cause I think I'm improving. What do you think? :D

Hopefully, I'll get another post before the year is done... We'll see. ;]

Adios amigos!

I love Books

I felt like posting something today, so here you go:

Have some photography I did with my sister's iPod.

:)

The quality sucks.

I seriously need some more bookshelves...

...'cause they're three rows deep in my closet.

And here is a little doodle I did last year. I thought it kind of fit this post. ;]

Until next post!

Commissions, Commissions, Commissions!

Hello again beautiful world!

After returning home from two weeks in Cali and one in Colorado, this girl is ready to sloooow down. -__- But, now I finally have time to post again!

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine had a birthday. I made her a card, and she used the chibi I drew for her profile pic and put a link to my blog in her profile. Now, she's a crazy awesome photographer guys. Seriously. 1.3K followers. Check her out here or her instagram under the username @brighter.stars. (Her instagram has more photos.) I say all this because I all of a sudden got a heck ton of page views and a couple commissions! Three requests in three days in fact.

*cue brain explosion*

Let's just say I was flabbergasted. It took a bit, but finally I found out where all the traffic was coming from and my friend received a very hearty thank you!

So, to all my commissioners: THANK YOU SO MUCH!

*hugs*

I always feel so special when I discover that email in my inbox... :)

This experience  has been amazing; however, it has also made me realize that some things will be changing:

1. Commissions are no longer going to be free.

(I have no idea if this means I just flushed all future commissions down the toilet... but hey! I work hard on them!)

2. Commissions will be closed until October.

(With school starting again, the next two months are going to be busy and I will not have time to spend on requests.)

3. I need to become better.

(We all have room for improvement! Maybe I'll be able to take some art classes??)

And now I'll shut up and just show you the commissions I've been ranting about...

For Natalie.

This took a while, but it was a good challenge!

Thank you for your quick and continued communication!! (It was very appreciated...)

For Emma.

I enjoyed drawing this for you.

Thank you for your kind words! 

For Sophie.

Although slightly vague, I still enjoyed drawing this for you. Thank you!

And now, I really will shut my cake hole and let you continue with your business. Thanks for reading!

Ciao!

Quidditch

Whassup everyone!

I've been in a really good mood lately. Know why? SCHOOOOOOOOL'S DOOOONE!!! (for the summer...)

"So, what are doing now that you are free?" You might just be asking... or not. But I'll tell anyway. ;] I've been having a fun time working on my story, Time Riders, cleaning, organizing, reading, drawing, hanging out with friends, listening to music, and looking for ideas on Pinterest (man, I love that site). I also got my driver's licence! *throws confetti*

Yep, I'm staying busy. ;]

As mentioned, that lengthy book list of mine is finally getting attention (yay!). After finishing An Acceptable Time by Madeleine L'engle, I started rereading the Harry Potter series. *squeals* I adore those books!! They've put me in a very Harry Potter mood lately, so...

...here is a chibi of Mr. Potter playing Quidditch.
Look at that determination.

Lol. That, or he just needs to go real bad.

Aaaanyway, I'd thought that I'd add these following pictures drawn for my dad's Father's Day card.

Awwww...

Daddy's little helper...

^^That one's my favorite^^

I'll probably draw some more Harry Potter characters, (always have wanted to draw Luna...), but we'll see.

Make good use of your precious free time! Exercise your brain, stay active, and enjoy your family and friends. Seriously! School starts back up in August. O_O

Adios amigos!
*drives away*

Shiro-chan Sketch Dump

It has been way too long...

seriously.

I don't know what's gotten into me lately, all this never posting anything anymore and all. *sighs* I know how much you guys are wondering what I'm up too and if I've disappeared off the face of the earth and... *smiles sarcastically* Hahaha, yeaahhh-no. Nope.

Oh well. It's summer break! At least I'm posting now!

My sister keeps telling me I should do a sketch dump, so I finally agreed to do it. These are from this week and will give you a little glimpse of what I've been doing lately. ;)

First of all, I should mention *cough* warn you *cough* that this sketch dump is primarily doodles of Toshiro Hitsugaya from Bleach... only'cause he's one of my favorite male anime/manga characters ever. Yes, I know I'm weird that I fangirl obsessively over a short guy with white hair and a title complex who is older than your grandma.

This came about after I wrote a little poem for school in which I ended up killing poor Shiro-chan... (and the entire 10th division really...o_o) Aaanyway. The girls hanging on him are Momo, (left), a childhood friend that has feelings for Toshiro, and Trixie, (right) my OC.

Speaking of OCs...

I discovered Trixie likes to cosplay! She discovered this fact when we went to Comicon.

This is her in her shinigami uniform. (*whispers* She really thinks she's a shinigami too, but don't tell her she otherwise, she won't listen...)

Since our internet has been restricted during school hours, my creative brain is constantly active... which means I've been drawing on sticky-notes or anything else within arms' reach...

(Yes, still Toshiro...)

And a little comic I drew randomly the other day:

Question: Are you and Momo in a Relationship? :3

Haha... yeah right. I think you might have to rethink that a little more, Tohsiro. ;]

Okay, I should stop there. Oh? You want some more? I have some more! 

*dodges tomato* 

You don't? But I do ha- 

*dodges watermelon*

Hey! Shiro-chan's favorite food! 

*ducks and narrowly misses zanpakto flung at face* 

Toshiro: *yelling from somewhere nearby* STOP CALLING ME THAT STUPID NICKNAME!!

*mumbles* You let Momo call you that... *huffs*

Fine then, Captain Hitsugaya. I'll get off now.

.....

Man. You guys must think I'm crazy. Heck, I think I'm crazy! So I guess we're all good here. ;]

Until next time!
