Captain Crayon

I'm caught up on the comic and was itching to use a different (but quick) media. CRAYONS! I still need to plan out my colours better. They don't layer well, and for the darkest areas, I need to leave it alone so the black will lay down better.

Omg, this is gorgeous. You make me want to learn to draw. xxx

You should! I only started drawing when I found fandom in 2005! There were so many good artists in the HP fandom, and I really wanted to be able to draw Snape. :D

Seriously, anyone can do it, it just takes practice!

Honestly, I have no idea how to begin! I am so rubbish at art - I can make things, but I have no idea what to do with a pencil. Any suggestions as to where to start? xxx

Well, on my first day I went out and bought a sketchbook and some pencils and an eraser. That first Snape in that pic was actually MY FIRST SNAPE ever. I was horribly disappointed. Horribly!

I really thought I'd be better at it than that. Nope!
But I kept chugging at it.

Find something you like to draw and draw it! For me, it's faces. I just do not get bored of drawing faces. Generally fandom stuff, because yeah .. escape much?

I have drawn my kids and other stuff, but I really like drawing cute/interesting men.
