I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE



FINALLY, I'm free! Now that my Christmas post is done I can finally keep you guys up to date on all the stuff that has been happening lately. 

So, where to start? Ah! I know! *looks creepily at computer screen as if she was to murder it... happily... this is getting confusing...*

So (I didn't have any other word to start with, sorry for the repetition) last year during Christmas (uh oh) of 2011, I got a drawing pad that connects to the computer so that you can draw awesome stuff. I loved it, I mean, LOVED it and used it all the time. Unfortunately I quickly got bored of it because I didn't have any good programs on my computer and it was quite challenging to draw on it... BUT recently I discovered an artist named viria13 (here's the link: http://viria13.deviantart.com/ ) who does INCREDIBLE fan art (mostly Harry Potter!!! yay!!!) and is all together an INCREDIBLE artist. I grew very fond of her drawings especially because they're the type of drawings I want/do (though they are not as good). I also learnt a lot from her sketchy tutorials which led me to discover a program that I could download on my computer as a free trial. It. Was. Perfect. It's smooth and clear and easy to use (bit of a poet with my rhymes there). I made numerous drawings on it (most being unsuccessful) and improved my ability to draw on the computer (though I have realized that I prefer using paper. Its more... real... if that makes any sense to you...). Though my drawings look a little sketchy and not as detailed as the ones I'v done on paper, I am, overall, very proud of myself. I learnt a bit more on shading and pleats in clothes (though those skills are still in development) and I could FINALLY put a bit of color in my drawings (fun fact: coloring with pencils/pens/crayons/anything else that can be used to color is MY WORST NIGHTMARE. I hate it. Just hate it. I will usually ask a friend to do it for me. Or just not do it at all. Which is most of the time.) So I think after reading all of this you might want to see these drawings well you can't. Nah I'm just teasing (aren't I just hilarious?), here are the masterpieces.


My Best friend and I
(This one was actually made on a photoshop on a school computer before I found the magic program but I didn't feel like explaining it in the paragraph. So... yeah)
Hiccup from 'How to Train your Dragon'
Wanted to draw Toothless but he failed many times so I decided to replace him with smoke. I shall attempt to draw him some other time.

Some Body parts aren't perfect and the girl's face is a little weird but I still like it :)

And so obviously I didn't only do those, I also did some drawings on paper which shall be displayed below.

Thought it would be interesting to put the original.

Lily Evans and James Potter for all those Potter-heads out there (including me!)

These are actually the same people as the third digital picture. I called them Peter and Penelope :) I am thinking about doing a sort of mini series on them with drawings. It would add something to look forward to and would make me progress in my skillzzzz. Tell me what you guys think about it!
I still have some drawings that I made but I haven't scanned them yet so... yeah... that shall be a plan for the future. Also, if you're wondering about all the kissing, I watched a tutorial on how to draw a kissing couple thingy and I needed practice so voila. Here's the tutorial, Mark Crilley (the artist) is GREAT at drawing and SO useful!!!


AND if you're also wondering about why we have hooves at the end of our arms in the drawing of me and my friend, if you watch 'My Little Pony' then you will know there is a population of people called "Bronys". Even though we're not male we still consider ourselves Bronys AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Seriously, My Little Pony (the new one, not the old ones) is actually not that bad. It's obviously made for little girls but it isn't as kiddy as you think it might be. Call me crazy or whatever but trust me, if you haven't at least watched one episode, you're missing on something BIG. Here's one of the episodes to get ya going:




My favorite characters are Applejack and Rainbow Dash FYI.

Also, to get back to the drawing, we call each other Sosh and Natty which explains the T-Shirts. I'm Natty before any of you ask.

Anyway, I think I pretty much covered everything.... I hope you guys had a nice holiday or you're just having a nice life in general :)

See ya!

P.S: ONE MORE THING, my friend Athena (from the post Accordion Athena)just made a blog and since I'm her friend and a nice person and because I want to, here's the link to it: http://athenasblahblah.blogspot.be/ . It would also be nice and friendly of you to check it out :) Who knows, maybe the Loch ness monster is hiding in there!

P.P.S: (sorry, this is like the third time I'm editing this post) I also have a Deviant art account so if any of you guys are on there go add me :3 I post the same things on this blog though so if you don't add me you won't be missing out on anything. Just wanted to let you guys know. Here it is: http://fetnat.deviantart.com/

And to make a little free advertisement, Deviant art is a great website for any kind of creative person. Writing, drawing, painting, designer, whatever it is, it's a great community and website to join :)
