Harry Potter Addiction

Ello everyone! I. Have. A. Problem. I am addicted with the Harry Potter books. Okay, please don't judge me. I know Harry Potter is not as popular as it was before, but when it was popular, I was afraid to read them because the books were too thick. But, after years of finally gaining enough courage, I decided to read one since I got really bored. An let me say this, J. K. Rowling is one of the best authors I have ever seen. Her books just cause you to get sucked in to them, and I just love that. For those of you wavering whether or not you should read the series, READ IT. It is definitely worth it.

Okay, what was I about to say. Oh yeah, I'm in love with Harry Potter so much that I decided to draw him as a chibi. Yes, it's going to happen. 

Supplies:

#2 pencil (DIXON recommended)

eraser

paper

color pencils

Step 1: Outline the head, ears, scarf, and body. Just mimic the lines above and it should be pretty simple. Also, if you have a tendency to outline darkly, it's okay because this is a chibi. The outlines should show.

Step 2: Draw in the eyes. They should be where the ear is. If you need help, each eye has two horizontal lines above one another with vertical lines at the edges. There is an oval within the horizontal lines, and two circles (different sizes) within the oval.

Step 3: Draw in the glasses, lids, and eyebrows. The glasses should be bid and cover the whole eye so it looks cute.

Step 4: Draw the nose, mouth and lines of the scarf. The nose should be a very tiny upside down triangle. (Tip: When drawing the stripes on the scarf, don't use perfect vertical lines.)

Step 5: Sketch out the hair. Just make curvy triangles around the head, and that should do.

Now it is time to color! Here is what the eyes and skin should look like once it has been colored.

Finally colored in the hair and mouth.

ANNNDD....done! It took so long to color. I think it was about half and hour to an hour until I was done. DAANNG. Well, I took my time, and hopefully it doesn't look too bad. (Tip: I used hashing strokes for the hair to make it look more realistic)

Here is Harry Potter at a different angle. He looks so cute! I just was to squeeze his little cheeks!

Well, that was a short tutorial, wasn't it? Chibis are usually easy to draw, and if you guys really enjoyed this tutorial, I can draw more chibis for you guys. J. K. Rowling and her fascinating books really inspired me to do this, and I thank her for that. She is just amazing, I can't wait to finish the series. (Can you guess what book I'm on?) Anyways, if you guys have a fictional/ nonfictional person you would like me to draw in chibi form, comment down below! (I was thinking if drawing Percy Jackson next) I love you guys so much! Thank you all for following, commenting, viewing, and +1. See you soon! Mwah!

Food Overload

Ello everyone! How are you guys? I just got so lazy today, so instead of a tutorial, I'll be making my first photography post. YEAAHHH! Anyways, it took me a while to find which food would look appealing in photos. Some food that I loved were going to be in the post, but I didn't think it would seem tasty enough for your senses. I hope you guys enjoy this and maybe share if it's worthy enough! I'm sorry for those who are disappointed that I didn't post a tutorial. I just want to try something new, and if you guys really love this photography post, maybe I might do more in the future.

Okay guys, are you ready to get hungry? I sure am! Enjoy, my lovelies.

I don't know what this is called, but it tasted so good! Ingredients? Well, it contained noodles (small shells and elbows), carrots, pork, shrimp, and cilantro leaves.

 This is a better picture of the delicious meal. More soup was added, and the pork got cut up. Comment below if you'd like to know the recipe!

These are the velvet cakes I made yesterday. Some of them were deflated, but it was just so much fun to bake these yummos! The batter was a bit lumpy, but who cares? I got messy and I LOVED it.

Lets go back in time, shall we? These were when they were in the oven. Oh. My. Goodness. They kept rising and rising, and I thought they would turn out huge. Too bad they didn't. :(

Now a bit more back in the past before they were ever in the oven. I kind of messed up a bit when I poured the batter into the little containers, but it's okay. It still turned out all right. :)

 Pizza! YUM! I mean, who doesn't like pizza? I've gotten kind of sick of it, but even when I look at it, it looks so good. This one is fresh from the box from Domino's. 

Old fashioned chocolate chip cookies. DE-LISH. Who wouldn't want one (or maybe five) of these bad boys. Sooo good, but soo unhealthy.I like it. :)

 Here is a scrumptious waffle with bananas and blueberries. This has to be one of tastiest breakfasts I've ever seen. (Note: I did make these myself. Don't judge me.)

Last but not least is a nutritious bowl of cereal. It contain milk, strawberries, blueberries, and honey nut cheerios. I don't put much milk, so I'm really sorry if you can't see it.

Well, that's it for today guys. I hope something different was okay for you guys. I know it's not a tutorial, but it's something new. New isn't that bad, right? Anyways, I'm sure that once you're done with this, you should be getting off your to go to the supermarket and buy ten packs of cookies. Just kidding, guys. While I munch on my peanuts, I would like to thank you all for viewing! I love you all so much. Thank you again for everything. Mwah!

Shiki Senri FAIL

Ello everyone! It's time for another tutorial! Yeaahh! I just had a brainfart today, and I couldn't decide what to do. Soooo...I took out one of my mangas and began to draw Shiki from Vampire Knight. Oh. My. Goodness. I tried so hard to make it look like him, but it turned out to be way different than I thought. I'm sorry I couldn't copy how he EXACTLY looks, but I tried. So, are you willing to fail with me? Well, let's fail together, shall we?

Oh yeah...don't ask why I chose Shiki. He's not really a main character, but come one...He's got to be one of the cutest vampires there are.

Click here to watch the first season of Vampire Knight. Trust me, after watching both of the seasons, you...will..love..it. and if you are not an anime fan, this anime might turn you into one. :)

Supplies:

#2 pencil (DIXON recommended)

eraser

paper

color pencils (optional)

Step 1: Draw an outline of the face. Then, draw a horizontal line in the middle. After that, draw a vertical line in the middle.

Step 2: Now, draw the anime eyes. I know anime eyes are a bit difficult, but I'll try too walk you through the steps

1) Draw two horizontal lines. (Put space within them) 

2) On the ends (nearest to where the ears should be), draw little vertical lines.

3.) Then, draw an almost full circle in the middle of the horizontal lines.

4.) After that, draw the pupils inside. (Erase some of it to add a bit of a glare)

5.) This is optional. You can darken the pupil if you would like to.

Step 3: After you are done, draw your lids and eyebrows. Since this is a guy, you want to make the eyebrows a bit thick.

Step 4: Draw in the nose. It's really simple. Just mimic the shape above.

Step 5: Draw a half circle an a horizontal line below to make the mouth.

Step 6: Outline the hair. It may be a bit difficult, but try your best. Just draw a lot of triangles around the head in different sizes. Make sure they curve a bit to look like hair.

Step 7: Use hashing strokes to make the hair look more realistic.

[Need help with hashing strokes? Click here.]

 Step 8: Just shade and you're ready to go. Simple right? Just don't shade the face too much or the skin will look dark. Remember, he's a vampire, so he had pale skin.

Finally, I finished! Yeah!!! Oh. My. Goodness. I've been trying to draw difficult things this often, and it makes me so tired. BUT, I hope you guys enjoyed this simple tutorial. I'm sorry it doesn't look exactly like him. I was in a rush, so it didn't work out as well as I thought. Well, even if I did have time, I probably couldn't make it look the same. Anyways, thank you so much for viewing. If you really loved it, I would appreciate any shares, follows, or +1. I can't wait to post again tomorrow! (Though, it might be late because of school. Ugh)

High five to Vampire Knight fans! (Well, virtual high five) I love you all so much. MWAH!

Drawing Human Girl

Ello everyone! How are you guys? Today, I'll stop the rambling and get to the point. I've decided to post something much more difficult than I usually do, but don't worry, I'll carefully walk you guys through the steps. Once you finish, you might learn a few different techniques you might not know. Plus, if you guys like this post, comment below and +1 so I know to draw another one. (Maybe a guy next time) Also, sorry that that post was late. Saturdays are my busiest days, and this drawing took quite a while to do. I was so tried I couldn't even color it. Sorry guys!

Oh yeah...I'm going to be baking some velvet cake tomorrow, so get ready to my failure tomorrow. :P (Or success if I'm lucky)

Okay okay. Let's begin, shall we? (I haven't said that in a long time.)

This is what the picture will look like. It's not particularly anyone, but probably since she looks so perfect, she could be a model of some sort.

Supplies:

#2 pencil (DIXON recommended)

paper

eraser

Step 1: Draw a vertical line in the middle of the face. Then, draw a horizontal line int he middle. (They don't have to be exactly in the middle. Just guestimate) Once you finish that, draw five arcs across the face.

Step 2: Now, draw your eyes and eyebrows in in the second and fourth arc. (I forgot the eyelashes, but added them later on)

[Don't know how to draw a human eye? Click here for instructions]

Step 3: From the eyes to the chin, try to find the middle. (Use a ruler if you need to) Then, draw two vertical lines from the inside edges of the eyes to the line you just drew. Once you're done with that, draw your nose.

Step 4: Now, draw three humps from the nose to the chin. (Try to make them even) Then, draw a line between the first and second hump. After that, draw your top and bottom lip. (Sorry guys. I had to change the angle of the photo because my camera shadow was in the way)

[Click here to see instructions for drawing lips]

Step 5: This step is simple. All you have to do is erase the unnecessary lines.

Step 6: Now, outline how you want your hair to look like. Once you're don't you can erase the top part of the head so it doesn't get in the way of the fabulous hair.

Step 7: Use hashing strokes to draw in the hair. Do one stoke at a time. I will take a while, but it's worth it. (Tip: Try to make some strokes lighter than others) After that add shading to the face, and if you want you draw in some clothes too. (Make sure to shade the clothes!)

[If you need help in shading or hashing stokes, click here]

Once you're done, it should look a little something like this. You can change it up a bit with the hair, eyes, nose, or mouth to make it look like a boy or girl. Then, you can make it look like any person you desire. (Sorry guys, totoro really wanted to be in the picture. Uggh...attention hog)

Here's a better angle of the picture. I tried to make a hoodie on the girl. Hopefully it looks like it. Anyways, if you have any questions on how I did something, comment below.

How was it guys? There were less steps than I expected. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial. I took me so long to to draw this, so I'd really appreciate if at least one person one share, comment, or +1. Sorry, I don't want to sound too desperate. Hmmmm....what else...Tell me if you want any more realistic pictures or totoro hogging up the space. (Just kidding) Thank you to all of you who viewed this. If you guys share this to your friends and family I'll love you forever. See you soon. Mwah!

Cute Baby Giraffe

Ello everyone! How are you guys? I am so happy right now because I had a terrible day, but all of your comments have really made me feel so much better! I've never had so many comments before, so I decided to upload this post early. I wasn't going to post until Saturday, but since I got into the mood, I decided, "Why not Friday and Saturday?" I'll try my best to continue to post as long as you guys support me! I'm so glad that there are at least a few of you out there that enjoy my posts, so thank you so much! I means the whole world to me when you just comment, +1, follow, etc... It may sound a bit over dramatic, but it's true.

Okay...what was going on again? Oh yeah, the tutorial! Okay, since you guys REALLY love the baby panda and baby elephant, I guess you guys want more baby animals. It's weird you guys love these things, but I love to draw them too so let's begin this!

(Did you notice the different font? I tried to do something new. :))

Supplies:

#2 pencil (DIXON recommended)

paper

color pencils

[The reason why I recommend a #2 pencil is that it shades better. If you want to use a lead pencil, you can, but it might not turn out as well.]

Step 1: Outlining! Make sure the lines are light. Don't take too much time outlining because you can change it later.

Step 2: Draw the details on the nose. Since explaining it would confuse you even more, just mimic the lines above. It shouldn't be too difficult. Then, draw two ovals for the eyes with vertical lines right above it. 

Step 3: Now, draw in the details within the body. All you have to do is draw lines on the feet, legs, body, and neck. Just follow the lines above and the details will be all ready.

Step 4: Now, draw the hair and other ear. The ear should just look like a bunch on thin triangles (Make sure the sizes are different.) Also, add some folds to the ear to add some realism.

Step 5: Then draw spots around the body. It should be irregular shapes, not perfect circles or ovals! Plus, make sure there are spaces between them, but if you'd like, some of the irregular shapes may be touching each other. Just don't do too many attaching with one another or it won't look like a giraffe.

Step 6: Final step! All you have to do is color and shade. Use a variety of color so it looks more realistic. See how I used different types of brown? Or, if you don't have that, maybe for some areas, press harder then other areas. It seems to make the picture gleam. 

....and here's the picture at a different angle. I'm sorry if the pictures are difficult to see because of the lighting. I was in a rush, so I didn't have much time to make it look better. For all of you who have OCD like me, you understand when you see something not perfect, and you REALLY want to fix it. Don't worry, I feel you.

Okkaaay, that's pretty much it. I think I'll begin to draw more human faces for you guys since it's also what you all have been viewing too. I know you all love the baby animals, but I can't do them forever. I want to try new things. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this short tutorial. I was in a rush, and if I was no help at all, I really apologize! Comment below what you'd like me to draw/ post next. It can be photography, drawing, recipes, anything you'd like, and I'll try my best to do so. Thank you all so much for viewing my posts and commenting!

(Plus,  I'm hoping to get 1,000 views by the end of August, so I would appreciate the help. Ugh...I'm beginning to ramble.)

I love you all so much. Mwah!

Beautiful Artworks

Ello everyone! How's it been? I'm sorry I haven't been uploading much lately. I've been busy with so many things, and I'm just feeling a bit tired these days. Anyways, since so many of you guys loved the other post where I recommended different artists, I decided that I should do it again. These are all different artists I haven't recommended yet (I think), and I hope that it's okay that these are posted up in my blog. If any artist doesn't approve of this, I apologize and will take off the artwork from my blog immediately. Now, sit down, get your popcorn, and get ready to enjoy some beautiful artworks. 

Are you guys ready to see some amazing work! Of course you are! Oh, by the way, the top image is just for the cover of my post, so don't worry about it. Plus, I forgot to mention that all of these artworks come from the group, Sketching, painting, and drawing, so if you want to join, CLICK HERE.

Dilara Yıldırım

This picture amazes me because of the details and the shading. The feathers seem to pop as you continue to look at it, and I can't believe how the picture brings so much depth. This artist just boggles my mind, and I wish I could be this talented. Check her out if you can. She is such a fantastic person and artist all together. 

Sam Shan

This one is such a cute one, I believe. It's suppose to Eve from the Garden of Eden, and I just love how the bush acts like a dress for her. Usually, I'm not into animated drawings, but this one just really caught my eye. I mean, the character may be a cartoon, but the details in the bush are phenomenal! This artist is amazing and unique, so you should check him out!

Roberto Rizzo

Oh. My. Goodness. Do you see how realistic this looks? At first I thought this was just a photograph when I took a glance at it. According to the artist, this was an acrylic painting on a canvas panel (30 cm x 30 cm). I love how the artist was able to use earth colors to make the picture seem to come alive. And, I love how by just looking at it, the expression of emotion is very defined. Roberto's work is so amazing, and I would love if you guys check out his works!

 

Myra Caballero

Last but not least is this interesting one over here. According to the artist, it is a watercolor pencil sketch. I chose this as my final one because first of all, this is picture is so unique and beautiful. Plus, whenever I look at this, it really brings out life. I don't know why, but it just intrigues me so much. I love the mix of colors and practically everything. If you can, check out this spectacular artist. 

Well, That's it for today guys. I hope you all enjoyed these artists' wonderful works. I really hope you guys check them out because they worked so hard on these pieces, and I believe they deserve some recognition for that. I've done lots of art at home, so I know the warm feeling you get when you say a single compliment to me. Even just saying "I love it" or "That's beautiful" would suffice. Anyways, I'm really worry I haven't been posting much. I'll try my best to continue to upload as long as you guys continue to read my posts. I love you all so much! Thank you for all the follows, views, +1, etc... Mwah!
