Title: Curiosity Killed the Cat (But the Grimm Girls Keep Coming Back)
Characters: Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, the princess that kissed the frog, Snow White, the girl from Bluebeard
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, watercolour
Notes: My final assignment for my VIS205 Drawing course: "a series of five or more drawings that are visually and/or conceptually linked in order to convey a sense of the narrative". I chose five fairy tale girls, right at the point where their curiosity seriously endangers them but also drastically changes their personal narratives (because they all live happily ever after, after all). The visual links between them - the hair, the wood, the arch etc - are supposed to maybe suggest that they could all be facets of the same girl/woman.

These are all vaguely postcard-sized.

Leeann leeann_marie & Una choco_tuna had a lot of helpful things to say about this project, so thank you, loves ♥

Notes: After two weeks of drawing princesses and animals, I randomly decided to draw a robot. Up until this point, the boys at the daycare were completely uninterested in what I was doing. One happened to pass by as I was finishing the first one, and got really excited -- "HAY GUYS COME LOOK AT THIS NEET ROBOT" -- and then ran around with it to all the kids, demanding they look at how cool it was. XD I love kids sometimes.

Title: Traveller
Characters: Lily from epistolatory (belongs to Julie riddled)
Rating: G
Medium: Ink, watercolour
Notes: I started this at the beginning of the month when Julie was over, but then dawdled about finishing it since I'm still harbouring delusions about being able to colour stuff digitally. I need a tablet! This is my feeble attempt at steampunk, btw.

Title: Valerie & Jack
Rating: G
Medium: Pencil, photoshop
Notes: Valerie & Jack are two trapeze artists, from my brainchild Tricks. I've just started re-reading it for the first time since the insanity of NaNoWriMo, and am seriously considering editing this one -- I just have to obsessively create actual backstories for all of the characters first.

Title: Mimi
Rating: G
Medium: Coloured pencil
Notes: Also from Tricks; Mimi runs the circus. The anatomy is crazy off here, this is just me trying to amuse myself while working at a daycare. I've drawn more in the last five days than for the past few months now, not all of it great, but it's something!

Title: Yggdrasil
Rating: G
Medium: Crayons
Notes: Working at a Steiner daycare has brought back all of my grade five Norse mythology classes. This is the world tree, or at least the bits of it that my hazy memory could recall. I can spoil the fourth-graders for what they'll learn next year and insert a bunch of made-up facts at the same time, all while distracting them from the fact that they've been watching somebody draw for the last two hours!

Title: Odin
Rating: G
Medium: Ballpoint pen
Notes: Same as above, except this is the "god boss" as I eloquently put it to the kids.

Title: Batman & Joker
Rating: G
Medium: Crayons, ballpoint pen for contour (or whatever it's called)
Notes: Pretty self-explanatory. Yes, I just read Arkham Asylum and have fallen even more deeply in love with Dave McKean than before, which shouldn't really be possible. These are actually pretty teeny, and more an exercise in technique than actual art.

Title: White Russian
Rating: G
Medium: Ballpoint pen, marker
Notes: Total rip-off of chimbleysweep's style & ratherlemony's ink washes + corny title + three-quarter profile view of a girl with big eyes = classic Linn art. :D Russian because she's partly inspired by Anastasia, partly by the Moscow bit of Ghostwritten. Misconceptions of historical clothing style ftw!

Title: Doorway
Characters: Death (The Sandman)
Rating: G
Medium: Ballpoint pen, pencil
Notes: Ugh anatomy.

Title: Sweet Transvestite
Rating: G
Medium: Ink & nib pen, watercolour
Notes: I lovelovelove my new nib pen, even though it makes crazy squeaky noises like it's being tortured sometimes. I might be doin it rong. But the varying line weight, oh, it is pretty. Strictly speaking this is fanart for a really obscure Norwegian novel, but I'll let it slide as original for now.

Title: Pansy Drew
Characters: Pansy (Harry Potter)
Prompt: 04. Found It
Rating: G
Medium: Ink & nib pen, photoshop
Notes: My sincerest apologies for the corny title, I couldn't help it. This is for tbranch, who recently walked through a plate glass window. D:

And finally, not really art, but here's the ( cover of my current sketchbook )

Title: Binky's Tragic Demise
Rating: PG for implied brutality :O
Medium: Ink
Notes: With Bertha still sticking to her story that she hadn't seen a thing, Binky was nowhere to be found.

Title: Mad Maudlin
Rating: G
Medium: Pencil, ink, markers, watercolour
Notes: I think this was supposed to be a daily drawing, but I've pretty much given that up until I've settled in at university. For now I'll be posting a couple previously unposted drawings a day, hopefully. This one's inspired by Jolie Holland's version of the poem, and intended to help me practice using more... well, everything, really. Shadows, colours, etc.


( 40 minutes )

I've barely had time to draw stuff for myself the past two years, but now that high school is over that'll hopefully change. To start off I'm going to try drawing something every day (see the FAQ for more info). This is the only one I'll post on its own; the others I'll group in weekly posts to spare your f-lists.

( May 26 )

I haven't been drawing anything proper lately, other than paintings for art class, so these are from my sketchbook. Vaguely actual-size & in chronological order. Con-crit is welcome, as always, though these are really a mess.

( 2 Harry Potter, 2 Coraline, 2 original. )

Conclusion:
1. I need to learn how to draw faster.
2. I need to learn how to draw actual expressions.

Title: The Girl That Flew
Rating: G
Medium: Red ink
Comments/criticism: Is welcome.
Notes: Done for a yet-to-be-announced project with two people I totally fangirl. Also, I need to learn how to draw birds.
