One Day of Drawings - 1-21-20

Hello! 

It may not be very professional to say I've run out of post ideas, but it would at least be truthful! Ever since I started a blog I have run into the issue of having nothing to post about. I'm hoping that inspiration will hit, but in the mean time I thought I would share one day of sketching in my normal life. I definitely don't get this much drawing done every day, but I would say I usually draw two pages in my sketchbook daily. These are all very quick sketches that I don't really like, but I would never post my art if I waited to post a drawing I was actually proud of!

Here's what I drew:

 I covered up the sketch in the left-hand corner because I had drawn it the previous day and it did not turn out well! I was mainly practicing drawing the same person over again in different poses for this page. (I also needed something to do while I was in my online class!)

I really dislike all of these drawings, but this post wouldn't be complete without all of my drawings for the day, even if I didn't like these! (I copied some of these ideas from other artists by using reference pictures, just fyi!) 

I actually like how this page turned out because it shows how my idea developed after I drew it over and over again. I saw a picture of a pineapple, and thought it would be fun to try to make a human look like one, and I ended up designing a little pineapple king character. (Also, ignore the animals in this picture because I cannot draw animals at all!!)

Thanks for reading! I will hopefully be posting again soon!

Art + Some Pictures 1/9/20

Hello! 

I am very uncomfortable with sharing my art, but I haven't been very happy with anything I've been drawing lately, so I thought that if I posted some of it, it might force me to

try a little harder? I don't know! Well, I thought I would just put a couple pictures of some sketches I did yesterday and while I was in class, and I included a few other pictures to make it less weird! :D

Bye for now!

Books I've Bought Recently - 1/7/20

Hello!
I just wanted to share the books I've bought at the thrift store lately!

Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen

I haven't read this book yet, but I've read other Jane Austen books 

so I think I will like this one!

                                       The Complete Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
                      I only read an abridged version of a few of the stories when I was younger, but I remember really liking them, so I'm excited to read these some day!
                         (Haha it looks like my picture is blurry, but the cover is actually like that!)

                                                       A Grief Observed - C.S. Lewis
                         I actually don't know anything about this book, but I decided to get it, and I'm sure it's really good!

                                                 Moon Over Manifest - Clare Vanderpool
I actually got this book at the library today and then found it at the thrift store! I don't know much about this book, but I read another book by the same author called Navigating Early that was really good, so I decided to give this one a try!

                                           Danny the Champion of the World - Roald Dahl
                            I haven't read this book, but I have read quite a few Roald Dahl books and I love his writing style!

                                                  The Art of Drawing Heads and Hands
                         I mainly draw cartoon sketches, but I thought this book could still be useful!

                                                          Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
I read this book last year and realized I didn't own it when I found it at the thrift store! I found it a while back on another trip to the store but the copy was very beat up and this one was in perfect condition.

                                                    The Road to Oz - L. Frank Baum
This is one of the books in the series of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz books. I probably shouldn't have gotten it because I will now have to find the whole set! XD

                                                     Tuck Everlasting - Natalie Babbitt
   This book is pretty good. It wasn't my favorite, but for some reason I felt like I needed to buy it? :)

Thanks for reading this post! I actually have another post in mind (amazing), so I should be posting soon! :)
