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!:)

American Girl Doll Artist's Drawing Requests

Hi everyone!:D

I finally finished the first request! American Girl Doll Artist's!

She asked for---

- drawings of scenes from Keeper of the Lost Cities.

- more Star Wars drawings

And so I did!:)

 

This drawing was inspired by the scene where Sophie goes to her room with Marty and realizes that her parents must not be her parents.

 

This drawing was inspired by the scene where Sophie has to go to "the doctor"/Elwin to receive a check up.;)

 

And since AGDA requested more Star Wars drawings (and I know she loves BB-8), I drew her the BB-8 picture where he's giving Finn "thumbs-up"!;D 

***

I hope you liked the drawings everyone, especially AGDA, and I can't wait to start working on the next request, which is from.....

Lilah!:) 

She has requested Harry Potter characters. That'll be a stretch! I hope I can do it!:)

Also, I know I haven't really mentioned this before, but my sister and I have a blog, Uniquely You, that I would love if you checked out! I know some of my followers have gone there, but that blog isn't very well known.;) I would love it if you checked it out. It's a fashion blog and we post about our outfits, hairstyles, make up sometimes, and occasionally fandom stuff.;) So, check that out!:)

I guess that's all for now! I gotta work on more requests!:) Bye!;)

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



Tea and a Plethora of Activities, but Mostly Reading - December Edition

Hi everyone!

I want to post around three different things today, but that would be a little overwhelming, so I decided since today is the last day of December for me to do my "Tea and Whatever" post, I should probably do this.;)

Okay, here we go!

Since Christmas has come around, I have gotten a ton of books! Listed below are ones I have bought or have been gifted.:)

The Unwanteds - Island of Fire

The Land of Stories - The Enchantress Returns

The Witch of Blackbird Pond

The Bravest Princess

Luck Uglies - Fork-Tongued Charmers (which is not pictured.;))

But, you ask me, what about Storybound, the one on the top?

Well, I actually started re-reading that one before I got any new books for Christmas, so I have to finish that one first.:) 

Although I am mainly reading today, I am also going to be finishing up my drawing for the next part of Glazed!:) So, that will be up tomorrow or the next day.:)

Beautiful books.

*tears up*

AND I am not only reading and drawing, I am going to be watching a few episodes of Clone Wars, a new TV show series that has interested both me and my sister.:)

So, today is going to be a very full day.;) 

I forgot to put a picture of the kind of tea I am drinking, but it's one of my classic favorites, the candy cane peppermint tea (I think that's what it's called!;D) from Trader Joes!:)

The tea isn't what is exciting me though, it's the amazing mug it's in!OoO

It's A KYLO REN MUG!

AHHHHH!!!

I got it yesterday and I am in love! It's what any Star Wars loving, tea drinker could ever want.

It.

Is.

HUMONGOUS.

I feel like every time I want to drink from it, I have to prepare myself.XD 

And there's a lid that comes off, it's amazing because without it, he wouldn't have his complete helmet/mask!

I am just so happy with this mug, it's so big I could swim in it.XD Or maybe a tsum tsum could swim in it.;)

Well, I gotta get back to my reading (or possibly drawing)!:D

And no, Pinterest! You shan't get in the way of my reading....for long!;) LOL!

Kylo Ren Drawing - Star Wars - The Force Awakens

Hi everyone!

Who has seen the new Star Wars movie?

I've seen it and I have barely thought of anything other than what happened. It's one of my favorite movies. After I watched it, I was just stunned and slumped down in my theater seat.

HOW COULD THEY LEAVE US LIKE THAT???

Ugh. Sorry.

My favorite character (and least favorite -.-) is Kylo Ren because he looks so awesome, and I love his character, and HIS OUTFIT AND MASK ARE SO EPIC and there are also some super funny things he does!

I just had to draw a picture of him-

I really love how it turned out!:)

Here is the picture I used as a model- 

***

Yeah, my favorite character is the worst, most evil character in the movie. I think there is just something about villains that make them really interesting, and in some cases, more interesting than the good guys.

But I draw a line when it comes to Hans, he's just a jerk.-_- LOL!

I hope you liked my drawing!:D
