I’ve gotten two pretty amazing birthday gifts so far…
The Complete Sherlock Holmes, with a beautiful cover (Barnes & Noble had a ton of different books with these awesome covers, I kind of wanted one of each!)
OPI Crown Me Already!
A super busy work schedule knocked me right off my daily drawing wagon. I guess it’s good to learn what my weaknesses are! Until things calm down again and I decide if I want to pick up that challenge again, here are some cool songs I’ve been listening to lately. They’re in order from light to heavy.
Oops! Missed my drawing yesterday! It got late, too late, before I came upstairs from playing Valkyria Chronicles, haha. But I made up for it today, and it wasn’t too hard =) 15 minutes, nothing to it!
Yesterday’s prompt was “red”. I didn’t really have anything in mind, so I just filled a red bg and drew into it with the eraser. I actually kind of enjoyed drawing like this, as long as I remained focused on it being an eraser and not a pencil or brush (didn’t change the opacity). It helped me to just draw and not worry too much about refining the lines I had.
And today’s prompt was “someone with dripping-wet hair”, haha! This is Ami from Sailor Moon I guess, I wanted to draw some more to it but didn’t have time. I wanted to draw her practicing water control with her new powers, though I’m not sure the senshi can do that in the series.. it was nice thought though, young Ami at the pool seeing how much water she can levitate before it crashes! She was definitely the one most “in-tune” with her element. Anyway, this was fun to draw.
Today’s prompt was “euphoria”. This is the kind of image I get in my head when I think of that word.
Today marks 1 week of daily drawings. Today was also the first day I didn’t really feel like doing it. I didn’t think about it all day (probably because I was excited for watching Harry Potter!), and it was late before I remembered. But I managed to do it. The 15 minute time limit really helped motivate me to do it. Having done a week’s worth of drawings where 15 minutes seemed to go by really fast, committing just 15 minutes to this one tonight didn’t seem daunting at all.
Today’s prompt was “poison”, which immediately made me think of Snape from Harry Potter (probably because I’ve been watching all the movies to get caught back up for the new one tomorrow!). I drew a little bottle of stereotypical poison, then I tried to add Snape holding it, but I was having trouble and ran out of time!
I'm Natalie, and this is my personal blog. I use this space to write about the things that interest and inspire me, and document my journey from bored do-nothing to happy, creative, passionate soul. You might find me writing about things like art and design, video games, cosplay, sewing, crafts, steampunk, photography, mysteries, puzzles, and following my dreams!
