Aww I just love Toothless! How To Train Your Dragon was one of the best movies I have ever, ever seen. Well, here’s Toothless! I did a rough sketch and colored it in Photoshop.
Toothless-ness!
Olive Tree
This took me about an hour, it was really fun. I like to do details with an inking pen. I did this all in ink,(very sneakily) which is risky sometimes, but I really like it. I hope you do too!

Starry Night in The Meadow
Okay so this one I just did today, a colored pencil drawing. It’s a fox constellation in the sky. I really like foxes, they’re so cute .^-^
First I did some gesture drawings of how I wanted the pose to be. They’re really loose sketches, so they’re not finished or anything. Just ideas.
I like the upper right one the best. So, I got to work on the sketch! Here’s my basic shapes:
Next I put in details, and I think they came out nice, do you?
I also cleaned it up a little, if you can tell. It’s so hard not to get pencil smudges all over the paper though, huh? Had to erase some of those too. Anyways, here’s the finished drawing, all colored.
Hope you like it!
Hopefully I’ll post more soon,

Escape
Hi everyone!
I just finished a new colored pencil drawing that I worked really hard on, called Escape. I’m gonna show you the process of how I do a colored pencil drawing!
I started it using basic shapes, and sketched out the basic pose, like my dad is always telling me to do:
Yeah so, that’s the original sketch, looks like those bendy wood people you can get at an art store, right? So after that, I added in clothes, hair and other details…
Now it actually looks like a person, yay! But there are yucky stray lines all in there, and it’s not a completed sketch – yet.
So, moving on…
Slightly different, huh?
In this one I cleaned it up, took away all those lines and added a few details. Now for the moment of truth…
Viola. Here it is, colored.
Yep, so you just saw the complete process of making a drawing. Fun, huh?
So a little bit about this one. I was sitting down being lazy when I thought I should draw something. So I got my paper and my art box and I sat there, thinking. Then all the sudden I got this idea, of a girl trapped behind a glass wall, and putting one hand up against the wall, wanting to get out. The hand is like, radiating a magic light, so I think the glass wall is probably a magic, invisible barrier of some kind.
If you look at her hand that’s against the glass cage (if you can tell that she’s pressing against something) it’s in front of her body, which isn’t so good. Why?
Silhouette, that’s why. My dad taught me a little about silhouette. If you imagine the drawing completely blackened like a shadow, and you can see the image clearly, it’s a good pose. It’s one of those art tricks, I hope I’m explaining it okay.
Well, it’s not too big of a deal, because the pose itself is okay. I really like the way it turned out, hope you do too!
Thanks for reading,

Art Dump
I just got a new sketchbook, and it is amazing. The pages are perfect size.
So, this is what I’ve done lately…just a dump of stuff.
Yeah, so this is some girl I did. She’s supposed to be ancient, probably from Ancient Greece or something, but I don’t know, I kinda just drew it. I did this one with colored pencils.
Princess Yue, from Avatar (The Last Airbender.)
I couldn’t post anything without at least one Avatar drawing. So here it is…
It’s an owl!
I don’t know why…
But I really liked using those colors. Blues and whites look really cool together, for some reason.
Toothless!!!
From How to Train Your Dragon, (best movie ever.) My scanner chopped part of his tail off. Aww, poor Toothless.
Piper! Well, part of her.
Yep, I bought The Lost Hero. It is AMAZING, of course. This is Piper McLean, one of the main characters, and as I said, she would not fit in the scanner. So, yeah, it’s just part of her. But huzzah, it is HERE!
So, that’s all I’ve drawn lately, so seeya next time!
