Harry Potter Phase

You might just about claim that I am having a Harry Potter phase. For the past few weeks my main subject for my drawings have been Harry Potter characters ( most being James and Lily. They're my otp :3 ) and here I will present you a new one to add to the collection. This will also probably not be the last so YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! This time I drew Hermione and Ron because they're both so awesome and I needed to detach from the whole Jily phase ( which is a subsection of the Harry Potter phase fyi ). I also came up with a really cool caption/phrase/quote/whatever to go with it which I am super proud of! More than the actual drawing to be honest :3 So here it is:

- Will you love me forever?
- Until the day I die, or worse, get expelled.

The drawing looks weird because their bodies are out of proportion. I only found that out when I was halfway through drawing their clothes so I couldn't be bothered to erase everything and start again. Though there is one thing that I think I did particularly well at and that is their hands. They actually look normal in this picture and not like weird potatoes with awkward stems growing out of them. Also, note to all readers, I am probably going to make an edited version of this drawing soon so this may (understand that this is in bold to make you realize the word may) pop up in the near or far future. Or never because I am an obvious professional of doing nothing. Before I leave you I stumbled on this video which I think some of you may like. I laughed so hard at this by the way so you should too! ;) Bye!

P.S: I just love this :')

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 :)

Twit - a - woo

Did you hear that? I think it's the owl with my Hogwarts acceptance letter!!!

That's what I would have liked to say the day of my eleventh birthday but never did! I never understood why... Maybe I should send a quick e mail to Dumbledore and tell him that my letter hasn't arrived yet... BUT if you have a friend that is simply dying for theirs (like I do!) then here is a crafty solution just for you!!

You will be needing:

- White and yellow paper
- Paper in the color of your choice (this will be the color of your owl. I chose brown)
- A black Marker
- A metallic green pen
- A cream colored envelope
- Glue
- Scissors

1. Cut out the outline of the owl (without wings and feet) from the colored paper

2. Cut out the outline of your wings from the colored paper and an outline of a tail.

3. Cut out the feet outline from the yellow paper

4. Make an origami beak out of yellow paper. Click here for a tutorial. I cut out the edges of the beak to make it fit on my owl.

5. Cut out 2 large circles (eyes) from the white paper and 1 big oval (stomach)

6. Draw 1 small circle (pupils) in each white circle with a black marker to make the eyes. You can also draw small curved lines in the oval (see final image) in the oval for its stomach.

7. Stick the eyes and stomach onto your owl. Secondly, stick the beak right under the eyes. Then stick the wings and tail on the BACK of the owl.

8. Stick the feet just over halfway up your owl. DO NOT stick the toes!

9. Take your envelope and write on the outside the name and if you want their address with the metallic green pen. (e.g: Mr. Daniel Radcliffe  22 unknown street in a land far far away)

10. Finally stick the MIDDLE toe of each foot at the front of the envelope (where the name and address should be) and the outside toes at the back (where the flap is).

There! Now your friends can stop worrying about their letter and get on with their magical studies at home!

P.S: I THINK I JUST SAW AN OWL OUTSIDE!!!!!!! :O
