DISNEY FAN ART!

Hi everyone!:D
I KNOW I MUST BRING IT UP IN EVERY POST, BUT TOMORROW IS NANO AND I CANNOT EVEN
*explodes into fire*
But as much as I would love to just fill up a whole post with fangirling, that's not what this post is about- unless, maybe it is?;)

Recently, I've been drawing lots of Disney characters, and I wanna show them to you!:D
I drew Rapunzel, which was so fun, despite how long she took me! But she was totally worth it!:D The shading is mutually super fun and super boring.XD
Yesterday, I drew Moana! Although her expression isn't perfect, I really like this drawing!:D Her pose was really fun! And once again, shading was long and hard, but cool to do.;) FYI- the picture I did this based off of was set around sunset, that's why there are orange tints all over her.;) 

This was just a quick sketch of Honey Lemon, the character said to be most like me by Jaclynn and myself.XD I don't know if we mean looks or personality... LOL!
NICK WILDE!XD AWWWW!! He's so cute... I just love Nick, I wanna squeeze him!!!XD LOL! 
And the final drawing in this roundup is a baby Dory! I did this one really quickly to appease Jaclynn, since she wanted me to do her. Surprisingly, she was kind of difficult.
*sigh*
I need to master basic shapes...

I hope you enjoyed seeing these drawings, I had lots of fun doing them! It's been so long since I've drawn lots of Disney characters!:)

Cherry Pop and Read - October Edition

Hi everyone!
UGGGHHHHH!!! NANO IS COMING SOON, AND I CANNOT WAIT, YET I DON'T WANT IT TO COME.
*composes self to do this post*
So...I know I didn't do this last month, OOPS!XD

If y'all are "in the know", then you know that the Ahsoka book came out this month! I've been reading it, OF COURSE!XD
Guys. Just look at this amazing cover. I loveeee it. It's a pretty good book, and I'm almost done with it, I plan to make a book review on it once I finish it.:D
I have also found this magical drink that is black cherry cream soda. LIKE IT IS AMAZING!!! O0O It tastes sooo good. *drools*
It's definitely my new favorite drink right now. I need this to be stocked up in my fridge for NaNo...;)***
So what are you reading as of late? What about drinking?:)

Recreating... #3

Hiya, loyal followers and people that don't follow my blog, but stalk loyally...
I've got a new recreations for you!!
*applause* *confetti* *uhhhh...more...celebration...?*
I love doing these, it's so cool to see what I can do better now (and what has remained the same)! Let's get straight on into this recreation!
This is the character that I have wished to recreate. Now, looking at her, you might think that "Oh, from the expression on her face, she looks a little mischievous, but mostly pretty and nice."
Well, when I drew this a year or two ago, I hadn't meant for that...at all...I was drawing her to be a villain! But you can't see that, which is the reasoning behind me redrawing her.
I mean, look at her epic black magic and red tipped wings and tell me she doesn't have potential to be a pretty awesome villain?;)
I didn't have the chance to take a picture as I was drawing the new version because it was nighttime, and I didn't want the pictures to be all dark and yellow and-- *throws up*
So, without further ado, here is the brand new, recreated version of this villain---
Just looking at this drawing, I see so many things I've changed with! First off, look at how her expression is a lot clearer with her evil intent (although she's still beautiful and doesn't look maniacal...;)), but the main thing I see that's different with my technique and style is the realism I have now!
In my original drawing, my woman is a bobble head! And the way her body is angled is awkward...XD It's just so cool to look back and see what's changed... *sigh* I know I've said that before! LOL!
There were some things that I changed concerning the drawing, such as I got rid of the blue in her hair and outfit (I'm still not totally sure if that was a good thing or not), I tweaked her pose a bit, and I also changed her outfit somewhat. I think I like it a lot more than the original.;)
But what's your opinions? Do you like the original or the recreated version better?:)
-Emma-
P.S. Since the book I'm working on for NaNo has winged characters in it, this woman totally inspired a new story in that same world I made for NaNo....XD But I am much too far along in planning and NaNo is much too close for me to change anything... LOL!XD

Glazed Part Twenty-Eight

"Y'all, I've learned nothing from a week without YouTube," she said, as she watches Rhett and Link eat deep fried lemons.
Yeah...So.....
*clears throat*
I don't think we need to talk about that.
GLAZED NOW!!!!
***
In Diddle Pop Land, Prince Cedric handed out cloaks for the people who were trapped in the kingdom.
“Please, have a cloak,” Cedric said and gave one to a woman.
“Thank you, Your Highness,” She said, draping it around herself.
Sprinkles flew down from the ominous brown clouds, and the weather was abnormally cold, especially for summer. Cedric gave a cloak to another person, then the Duke of Ice Creamtown stalked up to him.
“Prince Cedric!”
Cedric turned to face the angry duke.
 “Are we expected to just sit around and freeze to death, while we let a princess with no experience in tracking down people go out and search for this rogue queen?”
Cedric sighed. “Princess Emma has given her orders-”
“That, too!” the duke shouted. “Has the thought ever occurred to you that she might be conspiring with the sorceress to destroy us?”
“Don't question her motives. She has put me in charge over this sprinkle saturated kingdom, and I will not hesitate to protect this kingdom from treason,” Cedric argued.
The duke gasped. “Treason?” he stammered. “I-I meant nothing by it. I just... never mind.” The duke lowered his head, clearly annoyed with that implication. Cedric frowned, but any further discussion was cut off by a horse whinny and the sound of people gasping. He turned to look behind him, and a horse burst into the castle courtyard, coming from the forest.
“Princess Emma's horse!” someone hollered. The spooked horse screeched, rearing. Cedric put out his arms in attempts to calm the horse. It settled down, eyes still blazing with fright, and Cedric grabbed its reins.
“Where did you come from?” he asked the horse quietly as he stroked its muzzle with a gloved hand. He gazed out to the forest.
Emma was in trouble.
“Take the horse to the stables,” Cedric ordered a servant. The servant took it away, and Cedric faced the crowd.
“Princess Emma is in trouble. Who will come with me to find her? Who will be courageous enough to brave this weather? I need volunteers,” Cedric declared. Some men shouted that they would join him and stepped forward.
“I volunteer two men!” The duke shouted suddenly. Cedric gazed at him, searching the duke's expression. The duke gestured to the two guards who followed him everywhere. Finally, Cedric nodded. He looked away from the duke and back to the preparations. He couldn't hear the duke's quietly order his guards, “If you spot the Queen-” The duke placed a hand around his throat mindlessly. “You know what you must do.”

OOH HOO HOO!!XD
Cliffhanger of sorts??? LOL! I'm planning on posting this a lot more often now, but I had totally forgot about it...XD

AUTO CORRECT YOU ARE SO STUPID, LEARNED IS A WORD! WHAT????
P.S. I'm a bit hyper....

The Best Ways to Procrastinate Writing

Hi everyone!
If you're a writer, you know that you procrastinate writing more than you actually write.
At least...I do...XD
So, to help you procrastinators, here are some of my top favorite ways to procrastinate writing----
 
1. WATCH THE YOUTUBE!!!
Guys, I happen to have a crazy YouTube addiction. It's so bad that my sister and I have taken a full week off from YouTube videos. It's torture, but tomorrow is the last day!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH YOUTUBE ON SATURDAY!!! XD
If y'all want some new channels to subscribe to, here are some of my faves-
They're all very clean and I haven't heard any of them swear before. Blimey Cow, Jordan Taylor, and Adler are Christian, Studio C prides themselves on their clean comedy, too. Rhett and Link haven't sworn, but they'll occasionally have VERY mildly suggestive things in passing.;)

2. Make a post about writing!
I do this quite a lot. It's so much easier to make a post saying how hard writing is than actually WRITING, AMMIRITE?;)

3. Pinterest 'til your brain falls out!
I may or may not do this all of the time...BUT IT TECHNICALLY COUNTS AS RESEARCH, RIGHT???

4. Do something masked as "productive"!
You know how it goes- you sit down at your computer and stare at the blinking cursor. Suddenly, everything that you have ever wanted to do before pops into your brain.
HEY! It's been a while since you've played the piano, why not do that for an hour?
HEY! You're falling behind in your German course, go do that!
HEY! Remember how five years ago you had that one fun app on your mom's iPad? GO DOWNLOAD THAT AND PLAY IT UNTIL IT'S TEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHT! (not productive, but something I've thought of before, I'm sure.XD)
You get the gist.XD
5. Plot!
This has to be the most deceiving way to procrastinate, because you can say that it is technically "writing". I do this so much, saying that it's fine...but I'm really just procrastinating.XD

6. Hermit.
What's better than hiding away from your writing? NOTHING!! There's nothing better than moaning and crying in your bed whilst wrapped in a blanket hiding from all civilization. Trust me.

***

Can you relate to any of these? What are the ways that you procrastinate?;) I have to say that YouTube is definitely my main way.XD

My Two New POP!s!

Hi everyone!
Recently, I got two brand new POP!s! Star Wars, of course.;D
Can you guess WHOOO??XD

I got Ahsoka Tano and Director Orsen Krennic!:D I know you guys know just how much I *sarcasm* HATE Ahsoka, and it must come as a surprise to you that I bought her, but she's *sarcasm* alright.
NO, I AM KIDDING I TOTALLY ADORE THIS POP!XD
And I wasn't planning on buying anything Rogue One yet, since I haven't seen the movie, and I don't know who I like or not, but when I went to Hot Topic and saw Krennic, I may or may not have caved.
*nervous laughter*
BUT HE'S SO ADORABLE AND I AM LIKE POSITIVE I'M GONNA LIKE HIM IN THE MOVIE. Because look at his cape, hair, face, outfit, evilness, YESH.XD GO DARK SIDE!
(We all know the good guys are gonna win in RO because of A New Hope, but the real question is how many people will die? *evil laughing*)
I took a photoshoot of my newest POP!s, I hope you enjoy!:D





(I put a filter on this one, I thought it looked cool.:D)















***
All in all, I would give them both a 10 out of 10, if you wanna buy them.;)
-Emma-
Do you have any POP!s you wanna buy? Have you gotten any Rogue One merch yet?;)

It's That Wonderful Time Again... Sketchbook Favorites!

Hi everyone!
A while back, I finished a whole sketchbook again!XD I really whizzed through it, and I'm here to share my favorite drawings in it today!:)
Some of these you have seen before, while others are completely new!:D
 
Let's get right on in it...
1. AHSOKAAAAA!
Ahsoka is just amazing, and I loved this picture and had so much fun drawing it, so she's my "favorite of the favorites" for this sketchbook.;) 
2. AHSOKAAAAAAA!!XDI love this drawing, all of the shading took me forever, but I love how it turned out! Ahsoka is so pretty! *squeal* 
3. LAST AHSOKAAA!!XD XD
As I said the first time I showcased this drawing of Ahsoka, I really love how I got Ahsoka's face shape done! It looks just like her in my opinion!:) WHOO HOO!XD 
4. Clone Wars Obi-Wan!
I'm pretty sure I already featured this drawing, but I knew he had to be in this round up. HIS SHADING TOOK ME FOREVER...XD I just love Obi...:) (I also have a realistic drawing of Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan coming up soon!:D) 
5. Old Han and Leia...:) :( :) :( :)
*sniff* *smile* *crying* *laughing*
This drawing I don't believe I've shown before, and it took me SO long to do. At least now Jaclynn will be off of my back and not yelling at me to draw Han and Leia anymore...;D
6. Akina Aber!
My Togruta girl I made... I LOVE HER!XD She had to be in this post, so here she is.;)
7. American Girl Doll Artist as a Jedi!
If any of you are American Girl blogger peeps, then you'll probably know who AGDA is, but in case not- she's a really awesome AG blogger.;) Jaclynn and I have gotten to know her a lot more recently, so I had to make a drawing of her as a Jedi ('specially since she's a huge Star Wars fan like me and Jaclynn.;D)
We have even become tight enough that she has joined the secret dessert society Jaclynn and I have created and has taken on the dessert of being a HERSHEY CHOCOLATE BAR!XD Yes, her name is Hershey.;) 
8. Yogurtland me and Jaclynn!
I love this drawing...;) 
9. JACALYNA BONTERI! (yet another nickname I have for Jaclynn...Shhhh...She doesn't know what it even means, so no one tell her in case you know....;D)
Longest title ever...;) But this drawing I did based off of an Ahsoka pose!:)
10. THIS RANDOM GIRL!XD
I think it might just be her hair, but I absolutely love this drawing! Maybe it's the pose, too. Or her pointy nose...XD
***
I hope you enjoyed seeing my sketchbook favorites and getting to see some new drawings as well.:)
-Emma-
P.S. GUYS, I AM SO CLOSE TO REACHING 80,000 WORDS IN MY WIP!!!O0O
Disclaimer: I am in no way trying to sound boastful or prideful if I say something like "I love this drawing!". Just saying.;D
