Eleven – Colored Pencil

This took me FOREVER but here’s Eleven from Stranger Things! I love how my art teacher gives us so much room to express our own interests and personalities in our projects.

The goal was to create a colored pencil drawing from a reference, cropping it to create a unique composition. I realized soon after starting this drawing that I did not choose the easiest reference. The neon lights and unnatural colors on her face definitely created a challenge for me. I exaggerated those colors a bit more to create a bright and intense look.

It’s not perfect, but I’d say it’s a pretty good start considering I’ve never attempted a realistic human face in this medium before. I’ll definitely be doing more of it in the future!

Ruby Daly

As part of an English project, I was supposed to draw the main character of the book I was reading (to go along with an essay, of course). That book happened to be “Never Fade” from the “The Darkest Minds” series by Alexandra Bracken, and so I drew Ruby Daly.

However, while making this drawing, I kind of strayed away from drawing Ruby and just experimented with colored pencils. The product looks nothing like how I imagined her to look, but I’m pretty happy with it nonetheless. So, I’m not sure if I can really call this Ruby Daly, but here’s the drawing.

The Literature Club

Left to right: Nonexistent Natsuki, Makayla as Sayori, me as Monika, Grisham as the MC (whom we named Avacado), and Jacqueline as Yuri

I thought it would be fun to draw some of my friends as the Doki Doki Literature Club characters that they read the lines for in our last playthrough of the game—so here it is! You may notice that Natsuki’s face is blank: that’s because no one specifically chose to play her. We would usually alternate through reading her lines, but since none of us one really liked her that much (or we preferred othe characters) , she remained pretty insignificant throughout the game.

I’m not quite sure what gave me the idea to draw this. It’s been months since we played DDLC…but recently I’ve been considering replaying it and maybe trying out a different path.

In terms of the art itself, I’m pretty happy with this drawing. They didn’t really end up looking anything like us, and Grisham looks pretty feminine, but those are both things I’m working on. Regardless, I’m still quite proud of it. I think I’ve come a long way, especially when it comes to drawing hands.

Fanart for Twelve/Origins, a webseries made by PetPyves on YouTube. It’s got a really good story, and has become one of my favorite shows! If you haven’t watched it, I’d really recommend checking it out.

Hollowgast

I just finished reading the “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children” series, and decided to draw some concept sketches of a hollowgast. For those of you who haven’t read the books, hollowgasts (or hollows, as they call them sometimes) are monstrous creatures that try throughout the series to eat the peculiars.
