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!

Welcoming my OC

I'm baaaaaack!

*waves enthusiastically*

And I am here to announce a new/first original character of mine! You may recognize her from my little procrastination comic I posted earlier:

...but now I have decided to officially named her and "flesh her out" some more. ^_^

Say hello to Trixie! (aka Trix...)

She's pretty much based off of me, but I wanted to give some personality quirks and stuff that I don't have, such as her absolute adorableness... ;] ...but she also shares many of the traits I have... *cough cough* procrastination *cough cough*

Here are a couple doodles of her I've done so far:

Practicing facial expressions. Yes, I need to work on them some more. *facepalm* Please ignore the top one.

"Ta Daaa!!"

(This is my favorite so far... :])

Paper planes...

Ripping paper

(This was actually drawn as clip art for a school presentation I did on papermaking.)

I will be continuing to draw her and work on different aspects/styles. It's been a lot of fun trying to hone in on my own drawing style! :) What do think of it?

See you next post!

A Happy Birthday to You

Oh look! A new post!

I am actually very excited to be posting this because it marks a significant milestone in my "art life":

My first (real) Commission!!!

*squeals loudly*

It was sooo exciting!! XD But enough about me.... *cough*

I'd like to thank Shaun H. for being so brave as to commission me. ;] He even was so kind as to write a little testimonial once I was finished: 

"I commissioned H.L. for a piece of personalized artwork as a gift for my wife and she delivered it to expectations and at very short notice!  Very talented, very professional.  Thank you." 

Haha... I'm smiling like a loon right now. (Ahhh, easily excited...) 

Anyway, here is the finished drawing:

Meenu, I hope you had a wonderful birthday! XD

TO ALL MY LOVELY READERS:

I LOVE COMMISSIONS!!!

(I really do.)

If you would like to commission me, just click this little link HERE. All ya gotta do is fill out a form. *wink wink*

I also love ANY AND ALL COMMENTS from you amazing people!! It's not that hard to leave a comment, honestly, and I love your input. Please help me improve my artwork! :D

Happy Easter everybody!

Procrastinating... again...

Yes, I know I promised to post within the week... 

...almost a month ago.

*guilty face*

But hold the tomatoes for a second! I have a valid excuse!

I've been so busy with homework, and softball, and an upcoming piano recital, and robotics club, and... *sigh*... that I barely get much time to doodle, much less draw.

My life is crazy.

Well, I did draw this little chibi me the other day in one of my school notebooks:

This is me. Way too often.

*cough* I have problem with procrastination. It's very sad, I know.

I need to work on it...

...tomorrow.

Just kidding. ;] I really am trying hard to curb this procrastinating tendency of mine. A verse that comes to me often is Proverbs 27:1 (NLT)

"Don't brag about tomorrow, since you don't know what the day will bring."

Haha. God really does know us humans well. He knows all our bad habits. With His help, not just my own, I know I can fix my "putting-off-til-the-last-dang-minute" problem.

Hopefully it'll be better by college... ;]

I'll post again when I can.

(There, no lying.)

30 Day Drawing Challenge... Days 1-6

Hello beautiful world! 

Yes, I am still among the living. ;]

During Spring Break, I decided to start a 30 Day Drawing Challenge. I've wanted to do one for a while now, but have been too busy to start it. The one I'm doing is by ComCom!. So, without further ado...here are days one through six.

Day 01: Draw yourself as a superhero

-I know, very exaggerated. But I like it and I'm the artist. ;]-

Day 02: Favorite character from childhood

-I used to adore Snow White. Maybe it was her way with all those fuzzy creatures... hmmm. -

Day 03: Famous Robot

-Ugh, I hate drawing robots. I tried drawing Wall-e, but couldn't make him recognizable. So I drew R2-D2. -

Day 04: The current or last comic you read

-"Lackadaisy Cats" by Tracy Butler. You should check it out. Three words: cats, St. Louis, and the Prohibition. ;] -

Day 05: A video game character

-Chibi Link, from Legend of Zelda. Kind of rough (WIP?)-

Day 06: Current favorite series

-Pandora Hearts is my favorite series right now, and probably will continue to be so for a while. ^_^ It is awesome!! *squeals* Oh, sorry, the boy is the main character Oz. -

I will try to post a lot sooner than last time. (With more drawing challenges. It's 30 Days remember? So prepare yourself! lol.)

Until next time. :)

Drawing Tips #1 - Mouths

Since, I haven't been able to draw much lately, I've finally decided to at least post something. This reference sheet was actually for a friend of mine. (It's not recent...but so what? It's my blog.) ;]

So, here it is:

I will try to post something more recent within the next week or so... (for those few who actually check this humble art blog regularly. *cough* Yeah right. *cough*) Lol.

Feel free to leave a comment to request a certain tutorial. I'd love it! ;)

Adios Amigos.
