Haha.... Sorry....

I haven't written my blog since Budapest and well.... Budapest was a long time ago... Haha, woops. I must admit that since then there has been quite a lot happening in my life lately. I'v went on an awesome field trip to Loire Valley, had a middle school prom (Turns out it was as cheesy as it sounds! A night in Paris.... how original. It was fun though!), lived through exams, passed my exams and had to wave goodbye to some dear friends of mine. For some reason I'm feeling quite sad while writing this post. Maybe it's because I'v been watching tons of chick flicks these couple of days or maybe it's because I have to take geometry courses every morning for three weeks (something to do with SAT's.... I actually have no idea what I'm doing there...), but I think the main reasons is that everything is changing. I'm getting closer and closer to my final graduation and the more I advance, the more I'm scared. Everything seems to be changing, life is getting more difficult, the summer doesn't feel like summer anymore (maybe it's because of the lack of good weather or the fact I'm still going to school every morning)  and I see my parents aging behind me. I know it's a depressing thing to say and that I'm not usually the person to talk about these things, but I'm scared for my parents and how much time I have left with them. They still have a long life before them, but time has been moving so quickly that it feels like yesterday that I was only at my mother's shoulder height. I just feel like I haven't had enough time to appreciate them fully. Why do teenagers experience horrible mood swings? They. suck.

But yeah, enough of that. I guess I just miss being a little girl which only worries about her scratched knees and weather father Christmas will arrive at midnight. Things change and change is good. So let's change subject.

Another thing that has been going on is my drawing. I've been drawing so much these past few months that I actually see a difference in my drawings! I've been using it as an effective way of procrastination during exam period and that really gave me a boost in my skill (biology on the other hand was a different story...). I've been watching a lot of animated movies and inspired myself with different techniques and characters and a bunch of other stuff. I found out that I usually prefer imagining my own characters instead of doing fanart, though I do enjoy it a lot when I'm fangirling over something *cough*Jack Frost*cough*. But there, you probably won't recognize any of these characters since I don't even know what they were before I finished them! Just let your mind create the back story, it's more fun that way! 

This one's the only one here that's fanart. Do I need to explain where this is from?

This is how i see myself in a couple of years. Unfortunately I am not at that stage yet.
(please ignore the weird leg proportions, I only noticed it when I was finished...)

If any of you remember I drew a picture of a couple in a hot air balloon. This is them again :)

Pirate Punk - Don't ask why

This is my newest one and probably the one I'm most proud of. 

Hopefully you appreciated this post and that I didn't bring your mood down too much. I didn't mean it, it kinda came out unexpectedly.... I'll be posting more now that it's the summer. Soon I'm going to see my friend in America and there will be a ton of new stuff to talk about then! (I'll try to post a few more times before then!) I hope you're all enjoying your summer and that the weather hasn't been as bad as it has for me.... though apparently it's not (Except if you life in somewhere exotic and cool. I'm jealous of you if that's the case. Rain has been driving me crazy!)

Maybe before I leave I can leave you with a list of chick flicks I'v been watching so you know what I am experiencing ;)

• The Notebook (OMG I LOVE IT)
• 10 thing I hate about you
• Dear John
• Legally Blonde
• Water for Elephants
• The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants 2 (couldn't find the first one :( )
• The Vow (LOVE THIS ONE TOO)
• One day

and not to mention a bunch of animated movies :) I also recently watched Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio which was worth watching! But that was about a month ago so I didn't count it in. 

And finally, book-wise I'm reading the Clockwork Angel in the infernal devices series which is really good! I would say the author but I am too lazy to go check so you're gonna have to Google it! 

I think I already said bye but if I haven't, bye!!

PERCY JACKSON FTW!!!!

I have just had the most horrible revelation of all time. I HAVE NOT ONCE DRAWN PERCY JACKSON! *weez, weez* How could I. I am a disgrace to society T  T and my friends. Because they love Percy Jackson too. I am so devastated. Especially since the second movie is coming soon! (Not that the first one was very good to be honest. By not good I mean it wasn't the same story as the book AT ALL. But if we don't follow the guidelines of the book then yes, it was a good movie).  So yeah; here's my creation to say sorry for this whole misunderstanding. Because now it's a misunderstanding. Not my fault. Just a mistake. Blame it on Rick. He's the one who wrote the books. I like ice cream.

Btw, sorry for his weird shoulder... I only saw that now... and the hand that's a bit sketchy but that's not new news. 

Yup.

Warned ya.

Jack Frost

I think that you may say that I have switched from my Harry Potter phase to a Jack Frost phase. I only watched the movie yesterday and I already drew Jack Frost :3 I'm SUPER proud of it because I think I got his expression just right! The only thing I regret a little is that the shading is a little over top... but who cares! I still love it! (and him!) 

I AM IN LOVE

Today I FINALLY got to see "Rise of the Guardians" by DreamWorks and I LOVE IT!! I was almost about to cry when Sandy died and I laughed so hard when The Easter Bunny was talking about his skill of Thai Chi! I fell in love with Jack Frost's good looks and personality and I melted at how adorable baby tooth is! I recommend this movie to all of those who like to dream and wonder because this movie is just that! I'm pretty sure that some of you are going "How old is she? In her teens? That's too old to appreciate a cartoon!" but 

I. DON'T. CARE. 

I love DreamWorks so much because they still make me dream! They teach me something new every time and I fall in love with all their characters! I feel like a small child again exploring the innocent wonders of the world and the small details of what we might call "ordinary". These movies show us more than finding love at first sight on a handsome prince! The viewer can tell that these movies were made with care and affection. 

So, after having digested my fangirling over Jack Frost and DreamWorks, I think you have guessed that there might be some drawings of them coming up. Not yet because I only finished the movie about ten minuets ago, but yeah, that will definitely be coming up. 

Also, I have a new drawing for you, well, sketch. I was getting so frustrated with all my other drawings that I decided to make something simple and funny. More of these may come up because they are way less effort than doing a full on drawing, and because of this, there will be more drawings sooner. In this sketch I decided to draw James though it wasn't originally supposed to be him. He was just supposed to be a random guy but, I felt like he needed a deeper personality. So I added glasses. And he became James Potter. Just by magic.

I also thought he would look cute with a plaster across his nose :3 Detail makes all the difference.... ! Right...?

And one last note; There are new backgrounds on the Freebies page! Sorry for any technical difficulties in the past but now they're all fixed! I just need to put up the instructions again so if you need aid, please leave a comment! Thanks!

P.S: I think the moon told me that Jack Frost and I should be together! 

P.S.S: If you're all confused about this "Rise of the Guardians" thing, here's the trailer. I'm ready to bet all my Easter eggs that you'll love it!

And here's my favorite part of the movie:

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 :)
