Star Wars Genderbent Drawing Challenge!

Hullo!!!

Okay, if you don't know-- I am a huge YouTube addict.

So, I have a few drawing YouTube channels I follow and they always do fun challenges, and I have been feeling more and more like I want to do my own drawing challenges on my blog!

SO, I PRESENT TO YOU GENDER BENDING. XD

If you don't know what that is, it's when you take a character and swap their gender and imagine what they would be like! I decided to do this with The Force Awakens characters. :D

 The first character I did this with was Rey! This was my first time ever trying to do this, so not my favorite- but not bad either. :) It's actually pretty hard to figure out how to keep similar features of a girl and turn them into a guy.... I think it's easier changing a guy character into a girl character. ;D

Like Kylo Ren! This is my favorite character to bend and I really like how it turned out! I think it still captures the original features of Kylo Ren. :) I know a lot of people think genderbent things are weird, and it's a little weird even to me, but ultimately I think it's fun and cool! XD

And the final character I bent for this challenge was FINN! I think this one turned out really cool! I like what I did with her hair, it seems Finn like to me. :)

I hope you liked this post! I did it pretty quickly, but it was still really fun to try out! STRETCH THOSE ARTIST MUSCLES.

*artist muscles cry out in pain cuz I never give them a break*

*shushes artist muscles*

If you wanna see more challenges, maybe even some writing ones- TELL ME! If you have any ideas for challenges- ALSO TELL ME! XD

It's That Time Again! - Sketchbook Favorites

Hi everyone!

First off, can you believe that I haven't posted on here in some crazy amount of time, like a week or something?? I can't, but I think I know why...

 

I literally can't draw anything other than Ahsoka.

 

It's getting to be where I'm embarrassed at how she's practically the only thing I've drawn lately. I don't want to bore you all, so I've lacked posts that don't involve her in them.XD

 

Anyway, I finally finished my sketchbook, it took me since February and I was shocked to see my first drawing in the sketchbook- that drawing seemed like forever ago! But it's only been around for four months! Wow! Here are my top favorites from this sketchbook, some of which you haven't seen before (a lot you have though!;))!:D

 

1-

My most recent Kylo Ren drawing!

I love how this turned out, and I think it might be one of my best drawings, so it had to be my number one favorite drawing of this sketchbook!

2-

This drawing of Ahsoka is one of my proudest drawings I've done. It was super fun to do only with pencil, even though I'm sort of dying to know how it would look like with color.;)

3-

Hehe, another drawing of Ahsoka, but adult Ahsoka! You guys just recently saw this one, but I love it so much, it had to show up for this post.:) I feel like the colors turned out perfectly, and I think she looks so realistic!:) 

4-

I think I've been improving with the profile angle of faces. Before, they used to be cumbersome and annoying, but now I love doing them!:)

5-

This drawing of me and my sister as Star Wars characters!;) I have always really loved this picture, but now I'm realizing how awkward my sister's lightsaber is, it should be way longer! LOL!

6-

My first drawing of Ahsoka, but the last one in this post!;) I'm noticing that Ahsoka's boots never changed when her outfits did...

7-

Judy and Nick!
Nick has to be my favorite character in this drawing! With his eyelids, which were so fun to draw, and his adorable snout, I couldn't leave him out of the post!

8-

I had so much fun drawing this picture of me as a Star Wars character, who happens to be a Jedi Padawan. I love my orange lightsaber!OuO

9-

I drew this picture for Jaclynn because she wants a purple lightsaber, but in the story I'm making of us (we're in the Star Wars universe) I gave her a blue lightsaber. To keep her happy, I'm going to give her a cameo where she fights with a purple lightsaber, which I then illustrated. I really liked the drawing.;)
***

I hope you guys enjoyed seeing what drawings of mine are my favorites!

I always really like making these posts, although I feel awkward saying "I love this drawing" because I don't want to sound prideful and boastful.;P I hope it doesn't come off that way.:)

 

I have a tutorial for how to draw hands coming up, so stay tuned for that!:)

Quote of the Day Challenge - Day One

Hi everyone!
I've been nominated for this tag so many times, I've lost count, but now I am finally doing it! YAY!:D

The rules are simple, on three days (they don't need to be consecutive) you post just one of your favorite quotes. It could be a movie quote, quote quote, song lyrics, whatever.:) Any saying you like.;) And then you nominate three people at the end of the post.

Now, I am going to have a really hard time only choosing three, but here is the first one.:)

"I'm being torn apart. I want to be free of this pain. I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it. Will you help me?"

"Yes. Anything."

-Kylo Ren and Han Solo

So. Um. Yeah. This quote is kind of the one I couldn't shake, because it's so sad and I just....can't even.... Han Solo....And Kylo Ren. GAH.

*cries*

I know this tag says only one a day, but I've been nominated a gazillion times so, does that mean I get to do more than one a day?

Okay, well, I don't care if it does or not, here's another quote I wanted to put up since it is also Kylo Ren.XD

"Forgive me, I feel it again. The pull to the light. Supreme Leader senses it. Show me again. The power of the darkness. And I will let nothing stand in our way. Show me... (spoiler alert, don't highlight unless you wanna know something. LOL!) Grandfather, And I will finish what you started."

-Kylo Ren

I just love that because it shows Kylo Ren's conflict. Well. I'm done now.XD

So...I don't know who hasn't already been tagged yet, so if you've already been tagged, sorry.;)

Addy from Addy's Art World

Kathryn from In the Depths of Dreams

Bella from Many Marigolds

Sorry if you've already been nominated!;)

In Celebration of THE Most Exciting Day Ever

Hi everyone!

If you have no idea what today is, then you are not aware that TODAY IS THE DAY THAT THE FORCE AWAKENS COMES OUT ON DVD WITH DELETED SCENES, AN HOUR LONG DOCUMENTARY ON THE MAKING OF THE MOVIE, AND POSSIBLY BLOOPERS (I have no idea.)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that I got that scream rant out, I am celebrating with two all new TFA drawings!:D

Rey and BB-8! Her outfit was so fun to draw!:) 

This was just a different angle on the drawing.;)

And now this drawing I did of Kylo Ren looking at the Darth Vader mask... He was so fun to shade, like I can't even.XD

 

I just can not wait to buy the movie today and watch it!:D 

With my Kylo Ren/The First Order blanket and Build-A-Bear. Oh yeah.XD

Are you buying the movie?:) Which drawing was your favorite?:)

-Emma-

P.S. With how much I post about Star Wars on here, I think I should have made the blog's name be- Drawn to Writing and Star Wars.XD



Sketchbook Favorites!

Hey everyone!
I am really surprised it took me so long to get through this sketchbook!;) Almost four months! Wow!

But around last week, I finished the last page of it, and immediately started one of my other sketchbooks, the epic Star Wars one from THIS POST.

If you don't remember my last Sketchbook Favorites post, then the gist of it is that I go through my latest sketchbook and pick my favorite drawings out of it and share it in a post.:) Some drawings you may have seen before, others have never been shared!:)

I had a hard time choosing my favorites in order, so like I said in the last Sketchbook Favorites, they are all my favorites, but some are just a smidgen bit better to me.;)

I hope you enjoy!

1-

My Kylo Ren drawing.:)

He took me forever to draw (and I have to admit I was getting antsy), but I love how he turned out. When I finished him, a spark of love for shading burst inside me and it's been on ever since.;) 

2-

Another Star Wars drawing, this time a Resistance character, Poe!:)

He was so fun to draw although I was really worried when I started doing his shading that he would end up looking ancient.XD But I'm relieved that he turned out looking normal!:D 

3-

This drawing was one of the first in the sketchbook, and it ignited a whole story that I have started.:) I am not currently writing it since I have another story I am aiming all of my writing time to, but it is waiting to be continued as soon as I finish my current Work In Progress.:D 

4-

A colored in Rey!
It took me a long time to actually get to finishing this drawing, but I am so glad I finally did it!:D She was so fun to shade, even if her eyes look a little dark as if she needs a bit more sleep at night.XD 

5-

This was a sketch of Angelina Jolie in her role as Maleficent. I never finished anything other than the actual pencil drawing, that's why things aren't perfect, yet I really like it though.:) 

6-

This was another sketch that I titled "Early Morning Art". It's another incomplete drawing, but I like it regardless.:D 

7-

This boy has shown up before, and he's showing up again! I guess the reason I like him enough to put him in my sketchbook favorites might be his hair. I have a heck of a time with coming up with new hair styles for guys that look good, so I really liked his hair.:) 

8-

The last drawing for this post!:)

I had so much fun shading this drawing and it was a different setting than I am used to, so I thought it would be a good candidate for this post. I almost didn't add it because it didn't turn out how I had planned, concerning the fact that I had originally intended for her to be sitting in a chair, but things turned out that a chair wasn't going to work for her arm position, so I improvised.;) But I added it nonetheless.:)

***

I hope you enjoyed seeing my favorites, which ones are your favorite?:)

-Emma-

(I also want to add that I in no way want these posts to sound like I am bragging. I am completely aware that any talent I have with my drawing is God given and not of myself.:))

 

"I Will Finish What You Started"

Hi everyone!

Thank you all for your well wishing on my reading. It is much appreciated, and I have been enjoying it thoroughly.;D

Although I have been reading a lot, I got to take some pictures of my Kylo Ren Die Cast Action Figure yesterday, because it was super overcast and lightly sprinkling.

(Yes, I know I said it was in the nineties but that was two days ago.XD)

I thought that that would be the perfect time to take some pictures, since Kylo Ren is the dark brooding Knight of Ren he is.

So, here are the pictures! I edited a lot of them to add extra darkness, I hope you enjoy them.:D

 

So I was just start to take pictures, you know, looking for good locations, angles etc., then as I put Kylo Ren on a super high wall, HE STARTED TO FALL AS I TOOK A PICTURE. To say I was terrified that he would fall over to the other side would be an understatement. Fortunately, he landed on his back, and I was there to snatch him up. And, of course, I didn't let go of him after that.XD 

I really like this picture for some reason. The black and white really makes his silver mask pop.;) 

***

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures and appreciated Kylo Ren's evilness.XD I really like the action figure, his helmet is so amazing.OoO LOL! I have this really weird adoration for his helmet shape....is that weird or is it normal for an artist to appreciate the weirdest things?XD

 

(I also may or may not find myself staring at people's faces, thinking about how I could draw certain parts of it, like their chin or nose.;))

 

Okay, since this post is about The Force Awakens, I just want to let my voice be heard----

WHO WANTS A DISNEY CLASSIC REY DOLL?????

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYONE ELSE, BUT I WOULD BUY THAT SO HARD!!!

*composes self*

But, yeah. I really want that and really hope that Disney makes one! I can just imagine how awesome she would be.:D

Christmas Haul

Hi everyone!

Here's my Christmas haul-

 

My sister gave me this awesome Sherlock shirt.:) Don't worry if you don't get it, it's a quote from Sherlock.XD

I got a Scandinavian Folk Pattern coloring book, a Draw Real People! drawing book, a Figure it Out: The Beginner's Guide to Drawing People book, and a mannequin.:) 

A Star Wars sketchbook (I love this!) and a 300 Drawing Prompts book.:) 

A Sherlock and John Watson POP!:D 

They are so cute, like look at Sherlock's wavy, curly hair! It's perfect.

And his adorable outfit and violin.:) 

And John Watson's outfit!:D 

And I got this epic Kylo Ren/Star Wars: The Force Awakens shirt! I love it so much and can't wait to wear it.:)

***

So, those are the main things I got that aren't doll related.:) I will be posting doll things I got for Christmas on my doll blog soon.

Well, I guess that's all I have for now.:)

Kylo Ren Disney Infinity Figure - A Photoshoot

Happy New Year's everyone!

Last year (did you get my joke?;D), I bought the Disney Infinity Figure for Kylo Ren. I don't have the game for the Infinity Figures, but I love the figures and get them anyway to display.:) Since I love Kylo Ren so much, I had to get the Infinity Figure...

And photograph him in an attempts to capture his epic villain-ness.;)

Update on Glazed- I finished the drawing yesterday and everything is ready, I just need to get the right computer where the story is stored to post it.:)

Now on to Kylo Ren!

His outfit is amazing! Is it weird I want one?;) 

I  love this one, he looks like he is hunting.:D 

When I took this picture, I really didn't know how it was turning out, since I was facing the sun. It turned out blah so I made it black and white, and I think it helped.:) 

I love this picture!! I love how Kylo Ren's lightsaber catches the sun and is sparkling.:) 

***

So...I may be slightly...obsessed with Kylo Ren...

*checks Amazon order to see when my Kylo Ren POP! is expected to get here*

*clears throat*
Or maybe a little bit more than slightly...XD

Thank you all for dealing with my Kylo Ren illness... LOL! I think this is probably it for at least a week.;)

-Emma-

Do you have any Disney Infinity Figures?
