Project: Finish What I Started - Update One + A FAIL

Hi everyone!
If you read my post about finishing what I started, then you would know I'm going on the journey of finishing all of the unfinished drawings in my most recent sketchbook!
I am calling it Project: Finish What I Started, and I am bringing you my first update! :D
I have finished a total of four drawings so far! Here they are-
This was the first drawing that I attempted to finish- two bounty hunter sisters! :) 
And here is the finished product! I wasn't really in love with the drawing when I drew it (that's why I never completed it), but I think it looks pretty cool all done! :)
Now I don't think I showed this dude to you in my list of drawings I wanted to finish, but he was incomplete, and I am going to be finishing nearly all of the drawings in this sketchbook. He was originally supposed to be one of the characters in my NaNo novel, Wings of the Banished, but if you notice (ha) he has quite the large chin, and I didn't like his pose and just bleah. But I did it. I penned him in, then colored him! Look at what he looks like now! :) 
He looks pretty great! I still don't like his slouchy pose, but he turned out a lot better once I fixed his chin in the final product. :) He doesn't look like my character though, since I gave him red hair and casual clothes.
Unfinished...
Finished! I love the bright colors I got to use in this drawing! I'm super happy I finished it! It only took me a little bit, and now I have one more completed picture in my sketchbook! :)
And now for the fail. This drawing of Jaclynn and I acting on stage at some sort of rehearsal. 
*cringe*
My problem was the lighting. Stage lights are harsh, drowning the actors out in super bright light and ultimately creating harsh shadows as well where the light doesn't shine. And I colored in the drawing with normal colors and normal lighting in mind, but it didn't look like Jaclynn and I were on stage or whatever, so I attempted to add the spotlights and lighting, resulting in this really funkily (that's not a word but who cares) colored drawing.
It also didn't help that I really disliked the drawing without it being colored. XD

ANYWAY! That was my first update. I also got back on track with posting Glazed, which is another thing that I want to finish this year. It's been going on for over a year now or something insane. O.O BUT I WILL FINISH IT, AND IT WILL BE OVER!
(My, my, redundant much?XD)

I hope you liked my update, and stay tuned for another one next week! :)

  1. These posts are really interesting! The guy you drew looks so good! I love how you color your drawings. :D And the one of you and Dee, I think it looks fine! :) Mistakes are how we get better and you got to work on coloring different lighting. :)
    Hm.. I don't have any drawings I need to finish but I am working on a drawing of Tauriel that I should probably spend a bit more time on.. :D

    1. Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I'm literally so honored you liked it so much! And wow. I absolutely adored the story! I enjoyed it way more than what's probably healthy....XD I really hope that you make more stories with them! I wanted to comment on the post, but I don't have a Google+ account...:/
      I seriously loved how you conveyed the characters! You made them just how I imagined! :D And the names you chose for them were really great, too! I plan to use them if I ever mention them again! :)
