Sketches

Hello!

I just wanted to share a few of my recent sketches. I've been wanting to start drawing and painting more, and I'm hoping this might motivate me a little more. :)

For this sketch, I was inspired by a drawing of Buttercup from The Princess Bride.

My family and I have been watching through The Lord of the Rings, and I wanted to draw a little hobbit girl. It turned out okay, not my favorite, but it was fun to draw! :D

This drawing was from this image I found on Pinterest.

This is a girl from the book I'm writing for fun (I mainly just draw the characters from my book instead of writing it lol). Her name is Calypso, and she's just a little side character, but I love to draw all of my characters. I used this 1830's dress from Pinterest as a reference. 

I was at my grandparent's house, sitting in front of some fake flowers, and I like to draw things inspired by what I see around me, so I drew this girl.

This is the main character in my book. I was trying to draw her in some different outfits, and I used this 1830's bodice from Pinterest as reference for the dress on the left.

I've been in a bit of a creative mood, but instead of making things I've just been looking on Pinterest haha! I just want to draw and paint and read and work on my book, write poetry, sew, embroider, take pictures, knit. There are too many things! Well, I guess I better finish up my school and get drawing!

Drawings - And Back to Posting

It's been a long time since I posted last. I'm not going to make any excuses, I simply did not have any motivation to post. But, I would like to get back into blogging. Over the next few weeks, I am going to try to post every once in a while. To start off my (hopeful) productivity, I am just going to put a few drawings I drew in the past. They're not that great, but I like to draw, so I think that is a good enough reason! (:

As you can see, I draw a lot of dresses. There is something about drawing semi historical-looking dresses that I just love! Anyway, about posting more regularly. I have a few sewing projects I want to take pictures of, and a few projects I want to start. I am going on a trip to California next week and Thanksgiving break is soon, so hopefully, I will have some things to post about! Talk to you later!
