what I did in calculus

Ellen.

She's on her phone haha.

didn't do anything in class because we took our AP test last week.

one more exam! and then I paint.

withDRAWals

I've sworn not to go on tumblr, watch TV, or draw until AP testing season is over. I want to draw so badly it's ridiculous.

just one and a half more weeks. and then I'm going to watch the new Doctor Who episodes and go on tumblr and DRAW AND PAINT SO SO MUCH. SO EXCITED I CAN'T EVEN.

mrawww

lol I haven't done one of these since 2009.

I think I've gotten worse. I should do more.

also:

Karen Gillan (from Doctor Who)

some quick and small sketches. good practice.

One more day of Spring Break left. Ridiculous.

drapes

Don't think I managed to capture that seductive look in her eyes quite right, but to be honest, it was the draping of her dress that attracted me to the photo in the first place.

Danielle and the Doctor

drew my friend Danielle with the tenth Doctor (played by David Tennant, from Doctor Who) for her birthday. I think she's seen this by now. If not, why the crap haven't you opened your presents yet, Danielle.

first time kind of compiling photo references to produce one drawing. I should probably thank all of her orchestra friends for taking tons and tons of random photos of her because I pulled like at least five different ones to reference for this one drawing. Sorry if your arms/elbows look funky, Danielle. I didn't have a ref for them ahaha

PS: This is what I imagine your main outfit as traveling companion to a time lord would be.

inception:

n. The beginning of something, such as an undertaking; a commencement.

First drawing in my moleskine, which Danielle gave me for my birthday back in October. hahah took me a while to draw in it. I was a bit intimidated by all the blank pages and the nice paper they were made of, but I think I've conquered that fear now. But still, the paper is possibly the nicest I have ever drawn on.

Drawn without gridding or tracing or anything but looking at a reference, so I'm pretty happy with this sketch. It probably took an hour or two. I found the reference image somewhere on tumblr months ago and saved it because I liked her haircut ahahha. I really wonder what she's looking at in the photograph though...

but yeah, hair is way easier to do with graphite pencils. I smudged this drawing a bit... meh. hopefully it isn't that noticeable. I haven't drawn with my pencils in a long time, so I wasn't as careful.

As for what I'll decide to draw on the blank page, who knows?

title comes from the fact that I've started drawing in my moleskine. Also, I definitely had a two-level dream last night upon which I woke up with an idea...

Also, visit Danielle! -->her blog | her dA

Without her, this drawing would not have been possible because she gave me the moleskine and the pencils ahahah (:

scribbles

mehh just a sketch I did of a friend during class.

I guess this is me easing myself into drawing from life?

you can see the drawings regarding the immune system I did on the back ahaha
