Stitched Canvas

Inspired by Jane Eyre:

Inspired by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes:

Observe, as I bring a blog back from the DEAD!

Ooooohhhh, saaaaddd bloggypoo! I've abandoned you! Yeppers, it is indeed the truth. Oh well....

NEVER THE LESS, even though I stopped doing my 365 project, I think I'll still keep this blog up. I'll just use it to share my regular sketches, paintings, etc.... It'll be fun! You ready?

LET'S DO THIS.

March 1: Being a teenager is very frustrating.

February 29: Weirdness

What can I say, they're fun to draw...

February 28: Elegance

Drawing silhouettes is fun.

February 27: Look, eez a castle!

I must admit I did not draw a thing on this day. So here is an old castle thingy that I drew out of a magazine somewhere, at some other point in time.

February 26: BUAHAHAHAHAAA

I remember watching something really, really funny before drawing this...

February 25: Boy at a window.

February 24: BOOOOOKSS!!!

I love books... And awesome bookends! And designing bookends. :)

February 23: This will blow your mind.

February 22: Rhyme inspired doodle

A cat-bat in a hat sat with a rat. :P

February 21: Stretching kitty cat

Just a little stretching cat that I drew. I did it without a visual reference so its back foot is a little funny... :P

February 20: Some sort of weird flower thingy...?

Enough said.

February 19: "WOAH--WHAT'S THAT?" "The Silence." "Oh, cool." *Blink* "WOAH--WHAT'S THAT?"

Like most young teenagers lately, I adore Doctor Who. I'm not gonna be all hipster and say "I was into Doctor Who before it was a thing", because it's not true. I only learned about it after it got really popular in America, and I've hardly seen any of the Doctors 1-8, but I still love it with a fiery passion. And I'm not ashamed to say that I LOVE the current doctor. Matt Smith is hilarious and pretty close to David Tennant in my book. 

I also love some of the new monsters and plots being written into the latest seasons with Matt Smith. The Silence are good example of the awesomely terrifying new monsters. UMMMM--ACTUALLY, "The Silence" is the name of the religious movement, not the alien race leading it... Yeah, yeah, yeah, same difference. Anywho, The Silence are basically what I imagine a dementor would look like if you lifted it's hood. And something really crazy cool about them is that the moment you look away, or you blink, they are erased from your memory! 

Oh right, back to the sketching part of this post... The following is a sketch I did of the head of a Silence:

Not the greatest quality... Cause I was watching Doctor Who at the time... (Heh.) But you get the picture, right? :)

February 18: 2/18/12 due to lack of originality...

AHHHHH--I've been a bad blogger!!!! I haven't posted my sketches to this blog in almost a month!! So I've finally photographed my drawing from the 18th. I guess I wasn't feeling all that creative...

Taddaaa! NO, PLEASE, HOLD THE APPLAUSE! IT'S TOO MUCH... Thank you... Thank you...

February 17: Fall of the Rose

Inspired by my deep dislike of the Doctor's companion, Rose. I'm sorry, but I will never get over the way she treated Mickey. And the fact that she seems incapable of closing her mouth. Amy and Rory could beat her in a Yahtzee game ANY DAY! (Because clearly Yahtzee is the only way to measure greatness.)

February 16: Scared of the Dark

Because it's a hunting ground for the Vashta Nerada. DUH.

February 15: Craaazy Puzzle

This was SUPER fun to draw. :)

February 14: Heart Lips

Sort of a sloppy drawing of lips with a painted heart, but oh well. At least I respected the Valentine's theme!

February 13: When I'm bored I draw plaid.

Yes.

February 12: Evidence of my hooliganism.

Yes, that's actually a word. And yes, this is a drawing of a duck that I did on the desk behind me. What can I say, I do graffiti now. I'm just that hipster. Hah.
Anywho, this is what I did that day, sooooo....

Enjoy. 

February 11: Just an eye....

Sorry for the low quality in sketches lately... And the sporadic posting. Life is just so busy!

February 10: Chemistry quizzes are hard...

This is all I could find from the tenth, so I'm just going to count it as a "sketch". Heh.

It's written in my plannnnneeeerrr.

February 9: A brick wall..... Yeah.

I suppose on this day I was very bored... And uninspired.

February 8: Infinite Symbol of the Deathly Hallows

It just keeps going and going and going and going.... :)

February 7: My kitty cat.

(The grumpy one.) But luckily she's also the lazy one who's great for drawing because she doesn't like to move. Her name is Luna. Luna Lovegood. ;)

February 6: A 2 minute sketch of my little bro

Watching Doctor Who and FINALLY updating this blog.... 

This is a sketch of my little brother, CT, that I did on the 6th.

I feel so guilty....

OH my goodness! I haven't posted here in ages! Don't worry, I have all my art saved up... I just need to find the time to post it... Heh. I promise, I'll do it soon!

February 5: Thoughts as I ride my bicycle.

On Sunday, my family forced me to go on a bike ride. 

And. It. Was. Pain.

I know what you're thinking, "MY GOD, WOMAN! It's just a bike ride! Are you really that out of shape?" My answer is YES. YES I AM. Well sort of. 

To be fair.... the "quick bike ride", as described by this vile family of mine, ended up lasting around 6 hours. The bike I was riding was also new, and it's seat was SO uncomfortable, I'm pretty sure I have bruises in places NO ONE should have bruises. Yeah. It was also the type of bike where the seat is level with the handlebars, which I had never tried to ride before. It left me all hunched over afterwards... I felt like I ought to be standing in a tower, ringing a bell and falling in love with a curvy gypsy gal or something.

I blame my father. He's going through his mid-life crisis where he's OBSESSED with his physical fitness. He's been buying new bikes, measuring calorie intake, researching local gyms... And now he's decided to start buying me bikes apparently. But as he says, "Better bikes than blondes."

Anywho, here is a little doodle I did to express my emotions after those six torturous hours.

Obviously, I am not an athletic person.

But I've got to say, by the end of it, though my back and my behind hurt like HELL, I kind of liked the ride overall. And I think I have warmed up to the bicycle too. It's cute and orange and apparently the model my dad had when he was younger. It's all fancy and french or something. 

In fact, I think I might have no choice but to become a bike nerd, if only for my dad's sake. So maybe I'll do a post about my SWEET RIDE sometime, on my main blog. ;)

February 4: Head munching parasite hat!

Yup. This is a drawing of one of my favorite hats. It's just this knitted orange hat with big eyes and tentacle thingies on top. Not sure what it's actually supposed to be, so I just call it my head munching parasite hat! WOOOO!

 You know what? I just randomly decided to show you what my hat looks like. Let me take a picture..... Okay! Here is the real thing:

Cute, right??? My mom hates it.... -.-

February 3: love & beauty

The name/logo of one of my favorite nail polishes! It's black with green sparkles. :) But this is just the logo thingy.

February 2: Four Second Feather

Literally, a four second feather. That is all.

February 1: Studly Straw

WOOOO!!! February!! And what better way to start off the month then with a really bad cartoon?

Sorry these posts are so late, but I just haven't found the time to post them until now... I'll try to do better, I PROMISE!!! :(

January 31: Scribbled Flower

I started off scribbling randomly on the paper out of frustration, but then I turned it into a purty flower! You like?

January 30: Cat mermaid.

No, you didn't read that wrong. I was drawing a cartoon cat because I was too lazy to draw anything hard, but then I realized my lethargy was so crippling I couldn't even bring myself to draw its legs!! So I gave him a fish tail instead and now I call it the Cat mermaid. Because Mercat just sounds stupid.

January 29: And did I mention that I love you?

Valentine's is coming up, and I was thinking about it while sitting around watching TV. This is the result. And no, this isn't some weird girlish manifestation of a big crush or anything. I was just bored. I WAS JUST BORED. O.o

January 28: I paint rainbows. Yes, yes I do.

This is a block I painted on for our neighbors' super adorable twin babies! I'm not much of a painter really, but I can do simple things like rainbows soooo... that's what I did. :P

January 27: Manatee!!

They really are the cutest...

January 26: Jean Jacket!

I drew a cute little jean jacket!!

....................I really want to go shopping.

January 25: I AM GOING TO EAT YOU!

AHHHH It's been so long since I've blogged!! I'm sorry, I've just been swamped with all my horrid finals... And I still have two more days to go! But, I've decided to take a brief moment to post the sketches I have saved up for this blog....

Finals makes me draw weird things....

January 24: Spock + Uhura

I have to say, I get where the 2009 movie was coming from...

January 23: Some sort of weird design thingy.

And again, that is all. I have to admit, I'm not very creative in my in class doodles.

January 22: A totally random smiley face.

Title says it all.

January 21: James T. Kirk

I recently bought a fantastic Star Trek book, and it inspired me to have a little Star Trek marathon yesterday... While I was watching "Amok Time", and trying to explain the Vulcan mating ritual to my skeptical mother, I did this sketch of Kirk, in his formal wear! <3 I have to say, I usually like to draw Spock, because I LOVE him... But I'd never drawn Kirk before, surprisingly enough, so I decided to try him out instead:

(This is a little more cartoonish of course, but you get the idea...)

I really do love Star Trek... And lately I've come to appreciate Kirk and McCoy much more than I did originally. I was always a Spock/Scotty girl myself, but lately I find that I'm OBSESSED with McCoy!! And much more taken with the Captain than before... But don't worry my dear Spock, I will always adore you! Not that you were worried of course... I mean, you're a Vulcan after all.

January 20: ABRACADABRA!!!

Just some magic & bunny themed doodles....

January 19: A robot, just for you!

Yep. Robots are awesome. Robots and dinosaurs. They are the coolest.

January 18: Blog Background Experimentation!!

So I did a little experimentation with watercolors on the 18th, and made myself a blog background piece. It's designed to fit together into one splendiferous pattern when repeated over and over again, though it was my first attempt doing something like this so I had to tweak it a little on iPhoto to make it line up. But, all in all, it was super fun designing it! This is the piece, individually:

And this is how it looks as a blog background!

As you can probably tell, the bow ties don't quite match up, but other than that it looks pretty good right? The one thing I don't like is that the back color is white... I think when I make a final design, it'll have to be in color. I'd also like to exploit the water part of watercolors more next time, because I must admit I used them more as regular paint in this one... But I still like it. :)
