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! :)

Is there anything that you are planning on finishing this year? Basically all of my resolutions revolve around finishing stuff that I've started...O.o

Project: Finish What I Started

HI GUYS! XD
I hope you all had a great New Years as well as Christmas, since I was, uh, absent during the holiday season...
*shrug*
Anywhoo! I've been thinking how I've just been so unable to finish any of my drawings lately... Mainly the ones that require lots of coloring and shading and things I practically hate most in the drawing process...
I've started so many drawings I really want to finish, and I thought how it would be really cool to start something fun to help me finish drawings that deserve to be finished!

So, I present to you- Project: Finish What I Started

As long as it takes, I am going to be finishing all of the drawings in my current sketchbook (and possibly older sketchbooks if there are some drawings needing of completion)! And I also am thinking that if anyone else wants to join me in this, they can! Since my blog is open to a ton of people with a lot of different creative outlets- drawing, writing, blogging, music, idk -you can choose which one you'd like to join me with. Or, if you'd rather just watch me make drawings, that's totally fine, too! :) But if you would like to complete some of your own pieces, that story that has been hanging around uncompleted, artwork half done, blog posts abandoned after a lack of motivation, then you can put up the button on your blog or in a post or whatever. :) I don't really know, because it was just now that I thought of other people joining me. ;D

I think this could be a great way to start the New Year off. Here are some drawings I plan to finish during this project!





Going through my sketchbook reminded me of all the hopeless cases of drawings I had forgotten about completely. BUT GUESS WHAT GUYS??? I'M GONNA FINISH THEM EVEN IF THEY TURN OUT REALLY REALLY BAD.

***

So! Are any of you guys gonna finish anything alongside me? :) I'm going to get to work on this really soon, and I can't wait for it to be done and for me to see all of the drawings done!
