Yes, at two dollars a box (canadian, mind) I'd better start saving up! ;^)

I'm amazed how easy they are to work with!

Mmmmmm rickman *drool*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes, Alan is droolworthy! :D thanks!

[stephanometra.livejournal.com]

He looks so surprised! Man, I wish I could be that expressive with crayons (or with anything but words, really). :)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! yes, I just found a screenshot off the internet. I have no idea what he's looking at, but he's not happy! :D

As for expressive...just do it!

[eeyore9990.livejournal.com]

Wow, okay. I thought I would open up a page that had a drawing OF a crayon, decked out to resemble Snape. You know, sort of crack-pic. This? Is absolutely gorgeous. You're ten kinds of awesome!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

YOU are the cracktastic one! ha! A literal crayon Snape! *cracks up*

You rule, woman!

[orange-bastard.livejournal.com]

He looks fantastic! Amazing what people can do with crayons...now I want to try ^_^

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Well, ... all you need is two bucks and some paper! :D That the best part!

[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, another nice one! God, you're knocking these out so quickly! I'm shocked! I knew you'd do this one, as I think it's the experimental Snape cap since it's so textured and has so many shadows, but wow! Wonderful job! I'm personally more partial to your gorgeous Hughs, but AR himself is an amazingly attractive man, as well, so I can't complain too much. ;)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon! yes, both men have very interesting faces to draw. (and smexy!)

And these pics are taking about an hour to do, hence the large output. it's nice to not take 10 hours to draw something!

*love*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm having some love with your icon!!

[lunglock.livejournal.com]

So gorgeous :D you're very talented.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! This one was fun to do!

[gnatkip.livejournal.com]

SNAYPOLA! This is wonderful. You mean crayon crayons? As in a child's plaything? Awesome!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes, the same crayons that you buy for your kids. The big trick is to not layer them too much, because it just gets gummy and refuses to work. 2 or 3 colours to a layer max.

[1scout.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm.
Beautiful!
You are extremely talented, I adore your work.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

thank you, you're so sweet! Thank you for such lovely feedback. <3

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

Wow, the shading is amazing. Crayons, huh? (Just think what you might be able to do with Easter egg dye....)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Nah, all my easter eggs are CHOCOLATE, baby! :D

[accioslash.livejournal.com]

I'm amazed at how nice this turned out. I'm not usually a fan of crayons. I curious about the cost. $2.00 a box doesn't sound like it would be any more expensive than paint or colored pencils. Or am I talking out my ass again?

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

As far as art supplies go, $2 is mondo cheap! My water colour pencils are $2 EACH, and I have .... 40? A simple paint brush can run anywhere from $4 to $80. Needless to say, I only own the $4 ones!

Hell, the paper that I use (Bristol, vellum, for these) is almost a buck a sheet.

doing art properly can cost a ton of cash. Thank god I don't do it properly!

[poire-gourmande.livejournal.com]

o_O
That is AWESOME
You really did this with crayons?!? I worship you!!!

btw crayons are great!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I never would have guessed that crayons could do this (and so freakin' easily!) until I saw a tutorial on elicia8s journal. SHE is worship-worthy! If you like the show House MD, you must check out her journal!

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

Yay, crayon'ses! ;p

Nice Snape, and the other House was cool, too. ;D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I just finished a Dumbledore that I'll post soon. I am painfully addicted now! (who needs to do real things, like pay the bills, clean the house and take care of their children anyway) :D

[schemingreader.livejournal.com]

I don't have time for more than just WOW. Wow! You did that with Crayolas? ?Amazing.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Crayons are surprisingly easy and fun to work with. Who knew??

[recrudescence.livejournal.com]

Seventeen shades of awesome. The nose especially. Gah. I'm liking the crayon kick.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes, Rickman has a great nose to draw! *licks* :D

[hgrhr.livejournal.com]

Wow!! This looks very real! And he's even got that angry expression....I totally love it. :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's pissed about something! (he must have seen some crappy fanfic!)

[naadi.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's great! And with crayons! Very cool! :D I love all the layers of color in the skin tones. lol - He looks like he just caught Harry and Ron sneaking out of the Potion supply closet. *grin* Awesome work. ^.^

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Or maybe just 'coming out of the closet' regardless of the potions one! :D

Thanks!

[gestaltrose.livejournal.com]

Snape!!!!

Wheee.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly! Thank you:D

[last-timegal.livejournal.com]

wow.Snaypola ROCKS!if only i had your drawing skills...reminds me so much of the real thing im scared! XD

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Hee! If he gets too close, just light a candle, and he'll melt! ;^)

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

I love his expression! lol

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He's sort of angry/surprised. I'm not sure at what, as I just found this pic on the internet. Of course, he pretty much ALWAYS has this expression, doesn't he? :D

[misconstrue.livejournal.com]

the floppy skin you just want to poke and smoosh! (or at least i do?) i love his expression, absolutely perfect movie!Snape.

(can't believe you did these with crayons! my crayolas, and cheap waxy-melt-in-the-suns should probably be dragged out again and experimented with.)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

kittehkat recommended that I use 'Prang' brand crayons. She says they are less gummy than regular ones, so I did. I never actually got around to using my Crayolas, so I can't compare. I did go out and buy THREE more boxes of Prang today though! ;)

[mac-tunes.livejournal.com]

wow! This .... ... Severus seeems to be looking straight at me, frowning. How did you draw him looking at you so intensely. Just looking at this pic makes me ... well *squirm*

thank you!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

as for HOW I did it? I wish I could tell you. I just try to draw what I see. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. :D

I guess it did this time! Thanks for the lovely comments, I reall appreciate them!
