Picture Saturday - I suddenly like colored pencils

Two weeks between Picture Saturdays is too much.

Because then I have a dump of pictures and it takes for freaking ever to edit them so they look the same on screen as they do on paper. (*Treskie drools a little at her laptop*)

But anyway, yeah. My latest art endeavors for your perusal.

I don't tend to do colors. I'm not good at colors and I'm too lazy to take the time to learn, so I usually eyeball the colored pencils with a look similar to this:


And then I turn away and stick to my good ol' black and white, because black and white is my fave.


But when I decided I had to draw a scene from Dandelion Fire, I sort of knew that black and white wasn't going to cut it because Henry is fiery and fabulous and not black and white.

So with dubious fingers and a great deal of eyeballing, I came up with this.

1.) THAT SCENE FROM DANDELION FIRE  WHERE I LITERALLY SQUEALED WITH HAPPINESS.

and I'm a little shy of it because colors aren't my thing. So be kind.

2.) And then we have the couple of pictures that I drew for Hannah, because Hannah's awesome, and I luff her. (so like... the characters and the snippet are copyrighted. Don't. steal.)


3.) Siblingggggs.


4.) And then I was like "Haaaaiiii, colors don't suck." And since I was listening to Superheroes by the Script on repeat, I figured what the heck.


5.) And then I realized I wasn't a superhero.


6.) But like... the Doctor is a superhero in a way, so I drew him to cheer up.

Eleven is MAH FAVORITE and this is the best quote of ever. 

7.) And then I came up with this character that lost her memory and drew her. I think her name is going to end up being something tough like Madison or Bobbi.


8.) And then I drew how I was feeling at the time, because there's nothing more frustrating than having time to draw and getting artist's block. 


9.) And then we have the long goodbye which I like, but it's got weird lighting and that bugs me.


10.) And the mermaid/water fairy/thing I did which was basically just an excuse to use blue and purple for hair.


11.) And boom! DANCING. Because I freaking love dancing couples. So yeah. I drew this.


SO BIG GIANT QUESTIONS!!!

Do you like the colored ones even though I think colored pencils and I aren't exactly friends?

Do you like the colored ones more or less than the black and white?

DO YOU LOVE DANCING? (I think I would, if I knew how. But I don't, so I just love it from afar.)

I love you all. Goodbye.

  2. Mkay, first off, I don't want to hear you say that you are no good at colored pencil, because ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?! That Henry picture.....dang. DANG THAT IS GOOD. THAT IS FABULOUS. THAT IS...AMAZING. Can you list it on Etsy so that I can buy it? Pretty please with sugar on top? (or I can just send a check or whatever if you want) Because that is beautiful. Absolutely incredible and I wants it on my wall. Because... wow. Yep. I want it. It's too beautiful.

    And not only that, THERE ARE MAH BABIES!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 You already know my love for those pictures. Just....fabulous.

    That superhero quote is fabulous too. <3

    And I disagree. You are a superhero. You just forget about it every morning. ;-D

    The Doctor Who one is totally adorable and I love the quote!

    MADISON.

    MADISON = INSPIRATION! She's beaaaauuuuutiful and wonderful and I love her hoodie. XD I seriously want to write her into a book now.

    I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the Artist's Block one hahaha it is ADORABLE!!!!! If that is what you draw when you have Artist's Block, then I should be able to write 100 Cupboards when I have Writer's Block. IT AIN'T FAIR, TRESKIE! XD

    THE LONG GOODBYE!!!!! *sobs* *hugs* I LOVE IT!!!! Also totally got me inspired. AGH!

    The mermaid is sooo preeeeetttyyyyy!!!!!

    AND THE DANCING ONE! THAT IS FABULOUS! <3

    In answer to your questions:

    OBVIOUSLY I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the colored pencil ones!!!!!!

    I think I'm gonna say I like the colored ones better. Because color is super neat. It just adds a whole new element to the soul of the picture.

    YES I DO LOVE DANCING!!!!!! I have only done folk dancing like dis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT-U3YKf9H0 and dis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqKdqW9MLGA

    Okay! Yes! I love the colored ones! Lots and lots! I really love the first one. It's cooool. Even though I have no clue what the context is. And I love your black and white ones. But I've always had a soft spot for black and white. But I love the color. I...I don't know which I prefer.

    I'm happy you posted. :D I love your drawings.

  7. I love all your pictures. The colored ones turned out nicely. I think you should give colors another chance.

    I didn't read the writing on the Henry one, because I'm not to that book yet and SPOILERS. But boy do I love him. He's so much fun. I can't wait to finish the series.

    And yes, dancing. Love it! It's amazing, you did a good job, not that I'm surprised. You always do.

  8. We like the color ones best, but colors are fun because they are bright and look like spring and you can go on more adventures in the spring. Jack read us the Henry book. It's a good book and we're going to make her read us the other two when she is better and reading again.
