And Here We Have The Lost Art of Boredom
<.< Sorry about the Title. I had nothing else on mind, and I even asked my sister for help with the title three hours ago....

Anyways.... This journal entry is dedicated to my failed sketches. x3
For the most part, I have no clue why I am putting these up... O_o But I guess it is basically so you can see how many times I mess with shapes and the flow of the pencil. And experimenting with new techniques. Some of these Were Works in Progress, but I eventually got afraid I'd mess the piece up and it never got finished. Others I had no idea what to add. And for the most part, I have fun with messing around with a pencil and paper.
And apparently I have a history with paper and pencils... O.o Just how the clean white piece of paper urges me to draw on it... and the perfectly sharpened pencil sings to be used. Once in my hands though... I go blank. >_> So... doodles, sketches, words, scribbles, and crossed out things come up when I expect more from my mind. Oh well.
And all of these are drawn from late 2007 to now ((June 1st 2009)). Now, on with the art! o: ish
((by the way, I'm going to explain a little about each piece. "Oh no, not more talking! Shut her up!" you say >.>; Well, I say *blows a raspberry* to that x3 You don't have to read them if you don't want to ;P ))

Useless Unfinished Art
I never got to really finish this. I did do faces with the blocky shading, so I decided to try a whole body this time. I got stuck apparently. xD

W.I.P for this be Draconis
Yeah... I may draw my own character too much... But I'm familiar with her body shape, and I can always know what expressions she would show. But that is because she is a piece of me. O.o So, yeah.... I'm stuck with the pose on her left arm ((right arm when you look at it)). Yes, scantily clad in this one. I'm planning it to be very little clothed. But... It may not work out. We'll see.

Failed Art of a Group Picture
As the link-title says. I tried drawing many times a good group picture with these characters.... but it never turned out right... You wouldn't believe how many I threw away. X_x Moving on.....

Female Danzavare Doodle
Again, as it says. I got bored and wondered what Danzavare's character would look like as a female. >.>;

Lost Sketch
Well, I dreamt I had horns one time, so I decided to draw them. xD And then I draw a shark with a weird jaw... O.o

Failed Moon.. Things...
Yeah.... uh.... Again, out of boredom. xD Something growing out of the moon. Wouldn't know what.

~Doodle Doo!~
Here we have some lovely, and very revealing armor type. And... what the heck is that?! Some creature that wants to eat all your cookies. >.>

Hand Practice Didn't Help
This was like... Two years ago? Well, it was a while ago.... I like the hands... I can't seem to transform them into an easily drawn simple style though.... Yet! >D

Grrr! I said, GRRR!
Well, trying out facial expressions... And I did not like doing them. X_x Also, I started drawing a wavy line and "fancied" it up a bit. xD

Animal Crossing Doodles!
Well... this is a mess.... Yes, animal crossing, we got the same and I wanted to chart out the hair styles. I started drawing things like this. Oh, the one with the blue hair, ManaGato (my sister) Did that one, and I just messed with it by adding the shading and blue hair... >.>;; It was my paper after all... And yes, that is a "Zero Suit Samus Fail". xD

MAGESTIC, AND ... Invisible?
I drew a dragon! Well.... I was... But I got stuck and didn't want to ruin it. So, I'm stuck with this incomplete pose. x'D

Unfinished Thoughts
Well, I drew a face in the corner... That got boring, so I started to make a "Mind bubbley" (thought bubble). I drew the "Transforming Moon" I saw once in my dreams, and my version of an awkward phoenix. xD Enjoy the uncompletedness of it all.

Long Neck Thar
"Well dragons have long necks! D<" Yes, another of the magical reptiles. xD NO! Not that tri-headed chameleon! A dragon! >O And a few women as well. x3

Unfinished Boralion
This was originally for a contest that I thought about entering. But I didn't make it before the deadline because life got in the way. Oh well. The boralions are a creature of the world Valenth. Credit of the creature goes to DNA, the creator. Now.... Where's my prize?! Oh... wait...

"Fight me!" *slash slash*
I was bored, and waiting in the car. We were driving to our aunt's house, which is a 4 hour drive. -_- My sister brought her artbook... A shiny, white, clear paged artbook. *-* And I happened to have a pencil.... She wasn't using it at the moment, and I really wanted to draw on it. It glowed! *drools* Anywas, she was hesitant to let me even touch it. But in the end, she lent me one page, and I was joyful. As I stared at the paper, I froze and couldn't think of what to draw. Just having the paper and pencil in my hand made me somewhat complete though. xD I decided to draw MetaKnight and Sheik from SSB:Brawl. <3 Never finished sheik, I thought I did horrible on her. x'D

Don't I look awesome?! 8D
Well, no, not really. xD I didn't do too well on this, so I decided to leave it. And now it has it's little dreams come true, finally being scanned! But, not as it wanted to be. x'D

Well... this is... Failed
Hmm... I don't have much to say of this... I wouldn't know how to explain it... I wasn't feeling the brightest at the time either though.

And... It is... Squished?
I was just practicing with crossed legs and decided to do the rest. There is a hidded picture on the back that slightly fits with the one you see here, but I'm not telling/showing. O_o

All Faded and Sloppy
I did this quite some time ago. Like... 2008? Early 2008 I think... Anyways, the paper got the graphite smudged. But It wasn't much of a worthy picture before anyways. xD

Where's Everyone's Body? They're Dead?!
I'm not sure, and I don't think so. x3 I got bored again and started practicing.

Demoness of Uncompletedness
Oh, how badly this wanted to get finished. But I got distracted and stopped. It was supposed to be pneumadragonfly's (my ma's) art. *sigh* I feel bad. D':

Assassinate Me, Baby ;D
What, what? Um.... Ignore that title? X_x;; Anywho... I was drawing my avi and stopped. xD Obvious. I don't feel so bad about stopping this one though.

To Be, Or Not To Be..
Bones are tough things to draw. And I cheated by drawing a dress. But it was my avi at the time. >.>

Uncompleted Galaxy Girl.. thing
Avi again was mine... I had to find a way to hide the hands... I failed and gave up. xD

And We Have Body-less Animals
Oh, there is my other blocky shading style! Testing it out with animals. I started with the cat, and went to the dog. Lizard then fox. And the mini tiger-thing followed. Sure a few doodles too. xD

Well.... I think I have bored you enough. I don't have anymore anyways. xD
So now to leave with the "sexy cape"! 8D

    *gives you a tissue to wipe the drool* O.o;
    Even all the weird ones? x'D
    I don't sometimes... But when I do, sometimes I get back to them after a year. Like the one dragon/city drawing I have on my profile somewhere...

    Whoosh!~ Yes, I love the capes. <3 So nice and flowy~

    eep! *gets bucket* o.o
    Kehe, and these are what I consider my rejected doodles/sketches. xD I like that one as well, but it seemed a little sloppy and small, so I didn't put it up. And the fingers on her right hand were odd....
    The second link... I need help with the arm position... X-x That one must be finished! I want it to be. >O
    New favorites? O.o Hrrr.... I wonder which ones... @.@

    But small pictures are cool. biggrin I see the hands. But the picture is still so so sweetness!
    Also, I like that one...You must complete that one. You must tech me too shadow...I am not great at it...v.v...yet.
    Hmm..what kind of look are you goin for with the picture? Then I can give you some ideas if you like. biggrin
    >..> Hmm..I will have to go thought the links. I like the Danzy girl. xD
    I like the 2nd, the one I mentioned above, the one for your mother, the moon one, Boralion, and bodyless animals. biggrin

    AIYEE! *drags you up in a tree* Hey, Snow, snap out of it. o.o
    well, thank you then. ^^;
    I'll teach you. ^^ though, I think it be easier to teach in person. @.@ Something I stuck to, but it isn't too hard once you are used to it. And yes, yet. You will be good at it. ^^
    >>; Um.... "suggestive" I guess. But not too suggestive! gonk I don't go too far with stuff like that. The AnurlaDraco and SuccubusThing pushed it for most of my "suggestive" pictures. @.@;;
    I do to for the feme Dan. I need to redo another new version of it. How interesting. The moon things were popular? O.o interesting indeed....

    I need to get to your art. I feel so bad. D'x

    I'm sorry, I couldn't bring myself to comment on this. I fell of my chair, suffocated and moved around a little. Overwhelming majesty...<.<;

    Now off to finish the assignment due at school in 6 hours. XD

    Or I could try CPR. x'D ... Um... maybe not... O.o;
    Yes... doodles are "majestic" things, eh? >_> Messed up doodles to me. xD

    I took the photo with the drawing of lots of hands cause I need help on mine and I needed to know what hands are supposed to look like

    You're an amazing artist and you inspire me
    You have a great imagination of fictional characters to be able to think of these things and be able to draw them so well
    And it takes a lot of talent to be able to effectively capture emotions (I'm still working on that myself)

    I hope you never give up art, you are VERY good at it and you should look into some advanced art classes if thats your thing

    Well, I gave advice on this before. For hands? Try using your own hand as an example. 3nodding there is no better example than your own. Of course, sometimes seeing drawings of hands helps as well. x3

    Thank you for the compliments. :3
    Ah... I still need to get better with my fictional characters. I seem to only be able to draw stuff like that from the avatars I make. Otherwise I don't have an idea what to make. But hopefully that shall change.
    Expression and emotion in a picture is so hard to capture. So very hard. I haven't yet come to successfully do that myself. Only very few pieces do I have emotion described in the picture and make you feel it. But as I said, it is hard to do. One of my favorite works lay hidden somewhere... >.>

    I never thought my drawing was good enough for that sort of thing. ^^;;
    But I think... Maybe.. with what I'm doing now with my art.. Maybe be helping more than I think. I have inspired many of my friends already. Like you. 3nodding I think I am helping greatly by doing that.
    Maybe I might take classes. We'll see how that ends up. x'D
    Thank you again. I hope to see how your art gets soon. :3
