"Let The Right One In" drawings

Damn, I meant to post these on Halloween, but I missed my chance. Anyhow, these are some drawings done while watching "Let The Right One In". If you haven't seen it, go watch it! It's on Netflix instant. I don't want to say too much about the movie, but it's sweet and creepy and very pretty.



I love Oskar.






While drawing these, I realized there was something off about the paper in my sketchbook...the ink kept smearing all over, and the ink from the markers didn't quite sink into the paper the way it usually does. I'm using the exact same brand of sketchbook as I always do, and can't see any differences, but the paper is definitely not as nice. Anyone experienced that before? Weird.



Eli is harder to draw. The actress who plays her is very pretty, but all her facial features are large and prominent and hard to draw right.



I like Eli's weird clothes, too.


That's about it for now. I'm on my lunch break now so I gotta get back to work. I'm hoping to rewatch this again sometime and do some more drawings when work isn't so crazy.



Thanks for visiting my blog! (^u^)/

LoTR nerdy fun time game

**** EDIT
Chloe was the first person to get all the characters right, so if you want to know who everyone is, check her comment! ^u^

Play my Lord of the Rings identification game, and win...the knowledge that you are a big nerd just like me! These are all drawn pretty fast, trying to get the faces down before the scene changes on the TV, so some are more recognizable than others I think.





And don't feel bad if you aren't familiar with the movies, you don't have to guess if you don't want to! ^u^





I left out a lot of main characters, just to confuse you. Actually that's a lie, I just didn't feel like drawing certain characters, and failed too hard at other ones. -__-;





I like this next one, but I bet no one gets it!







OK that's it!! But here's some of the full pages, since these ones above are all chopped up.




I realize I've been posting a lot of the same types of drawings lately, so I'm gonna try to change things up soon, and maybe try to do some more polished drawings, or who knows. I'm not gonna think about it right now! Thanks fer participatin'!

Freaks, geeks, and wizards

Sorry if you guys are getting sick of my sketchbook stuff! I'm hoping to post a better variety of stuff soon. U__U

For now, here's some fan art from one of my favorite shows ever, "Freaks and Geeks," and some super scribbly doodles done while watching the latest Harry Potter movie. I'll start with the F&G drawings to avoid turning off the less-nerdy readers here! :)


Kim Kelley is one of my favorite characters in this show! She's badass.



Some more Kims, a few weird Sams, and some unknown slack jawed female. I wanted to draw more of the guy characters from the show, but EVERY character has giant lips, and lips are the hardest things for me to draw on guys. It's just a weird thing, I gotta figure out how to do it.



Millie! I love Millie. That's all for Freaks and Geeks, at least for now.

Nerd-alert!! Nerd-alert!!

Luna, some Ginnys, a few Rons, and Hermione. Its harder to get good likenesses when you're watching a movie and the scenes go by fast, but I think you get weirder/funnier results.


Super simple Ginny


A bunch of Rons, a super lame Dumbledore, some Slughorns (I love that guy), the super hot black girl from the beginning of HP 6, a lovestruck Lavender, a teenage Tom Riddle, a stressed out Malfoy, and some weird Potters.


more Ron, Ginny, Malfoy, and Hermione. I wanted to draw Snape, but he's just to wonderful/hard to do justice.

That's all for now! Thanks for bearing with me! (^u^)/

Battlestar Galactica poster!

As a fan of the new Battlestar Galactica, I was excited when Jason Anders of the Fulle Circle Productions blog asked me to do an illustration of two of the actresses in the show. He recently interviewed Katee Sackhoff and Nicki Clyne, so that's the two of them there in the drawing below as their BSG characters, Starbuck and Cally.



I did some quick and dirty sketches of the girls before I tried simplifying their looks for the poster:

Katee...




...and Nicki





Also, if you like it, you can get a 11 x 17 poster of it from Jason's Fulle Circle Store!



And now it's time to take a break from everything! Hopefully I'll have some new drawings to post after I visit family and spend some much-needed time with friends this week, so come back soon! (^u^)/

Nerding out with Harry Potter Post-its

I was hoping my next post would be all the drawings I did that were inspired by my North Carolina vacation, but I'm not ready for that yet. There's a lot to organize, and right now the only drawings I did are so rough and weird that I don't think anyone would be able to tell what they were. SO!! Instead, here are some HP post-its from before I left LA.

Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasely)

Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood)

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger...holy crap, this girl's likeness is hard to get!!)

Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown)

Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange)

(not looking so healthy today)

I drew a whole bunch more Bonnies too. I'm not sure I really got her look down, but I like these anyhow. It took a while for me to warm up to her in the role of Ginny, but I think she's really interesting now. She definitely has a pretty and unconventional look that is hard (but fun) to draw.

Check out how pretty it was in North Carolina...this was taken from the car, as the sun was setting and all the light was shining on the leaves. So nice!


See ya later...



P.S. Expect more HP crap once the DVD is out! Sorry for non-nerd readers out there! >__<;
