Just A Reminder To Keep "no Idols, No Heroes, No Gods" Mentality. I Say This In Reference To Celebrities

really devastating to realize that my belief that “there are some things you can never to do to another person, regardless of who they are and what they’ve done, because they are a person” is held by so few people. they aren’t upset by the unjustifiable, they’re simply unhappy that it happens to the ‘wrong people.’

I saw a drawing of Wonder Woman on YouTube shorts with her hair floating and that's what inspired today's doodle.

The stuff I bought at the first con!

These cute earrings and necklace! I quite like this seller (cherry picked.tt on Instagram) The frying pan earrings are my favorite!

It was my mum's birthday the day of the con and we saw these beautiful turtle earrings that are exactly her style.

There were a couple of stationery booths and I got the transparent sticky notes that I see all over the stationery community. I got these two colours because they were the most pastel and I like the pastels

At the next booth, I got this cute notebook that I use for work...

And these cool pens!

The first is one of those multicoloured pens. It has ten colours! I think the character on top is called Kuromi.

The seconds is a covid vaccine pen! 🤣 I despise that 'vaccine' but this pen is too cute! It's not just a pen though. On the other side has a sort of squiggly stamp and at the bottom of the vaccine part has a covid virus stamp! I found these things out while fooling around with it.

The third is just aesthetically cute. It's, minimalist, pastel pink and has this cute removable heart charm!

I bought some stuff at the other con and I'll post that once I transfer all the pics to my computer.

Here are some finalised drawings of all of the main and supporting characters.

Below the picture, I will list them from the top left to the bottom right.

Cyrus Hinds/The demon- In the first sketch, I made it look more like a 14-year-old boy, more human and with a softer face. In the second sketch, I made it look more creature-like, basically how I described it in my short story. I gave it more elf-like features and a sharper face. It doesn't look like a 14-year-old boy, but that's the point.

Gabriella Pierre- Her original design featured a short afro and a flower in her hair. I wanted to be more creative with her hair and decided to give her four smaller afro puffs. I also love how her face came out. I think she looks quite cute.

Amaya Graham- Her design stayed the same. Amaya is the sweet, harmless-looking, quiet friend. I did very loosely base her off an old friend from my school days. They share large spectacles and the long hair.

Marissa Ramdin- I wanted her to be very pretty with an elegant look to her. She's the effortlessly pretty friend that everyone's a little bit jealous of. I may work on her design a bit more.

Kadiah Toussaint- I'm quite happy with how she turned out, especially her hair. Back in my school days, I used to wear my hair in small twists and I hoped to recreate that style in drawing. I think I did quite well!

Sasha Antoine (pronounced Ant-wine)- Yes, Sasha is our 'mean girl'. I based her design on how I see the current high school girls styling themselves for school. I went for that cute, YK2 look with the baby hairs.

Noah McKenzie- He's a newer character I decided to add as support and a new friend for Gabriella. He's named after Noah from the Bible (I also just think Noah is a really cute name). I wanted him to physically contrast Cyrus. A lot about him is very soft and comforting while Cyrus evokes the opposite.

All characters except Cyrus and Noah are 14 years old. They are all in their 3rd year of secondary/high school (we have 5 years of secondary school in my country)

Cyrus is masquerading as a 14-year-old and Noah is 15 and in his 4th year of secondary/high school.

A blob girl! I was inspired by my recent red blood cell design. This one's not a cell, just a blob. I need to do research into the other blood cells before I start drawing them.

Telling me that 'God is with you' when I'm struggling to be with him don't help any, my friend.

I know he's with me. I'm here and alive enough to be annoyed at your empty platitudes, Praise be the Lord.

We're supposed to physically help one another. God gave us physical bodies to interact so that we can interact!

If you can help, shut your mouth and help!

Was inspired by the art style from one of my favorite childhood books, School of Fear.

Drew a random petrified girl in an imitation of said style.

Hand Sewn Three- Tiered Maxi Skirt- Part 1

Here | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

Heyo! I'm back with a new sewing project and this one will (hopefully) be a garment that I plan to wear often.

I'm handsewing it, again because I don't really know how to handle a modern sewing machine and because I want the satisfaction that completing this will bring me.

It's also an easy project to start off with!

I'm making one of these!

A three-tiered maxi skirt!

I've been wanting one for a while and decided to get some fabric and make one.

I looked up some tutorials on YouTube, figured out the math

and drew my final pattern onto brown paper.

I have a waist band, which is the length of my hips. It was going to be a wide band at first, but I bought thinner elastic because I had a brain fart. You'll see in a few that I had to significantly shrink the width.

For tiers 1 and 2, I chopped the measurements in half and for tier 3 which is suuuupppper long, I had to quarter the measurement to fit it on the paper.

I had juuuuuusssst enough fabric to get all my pieces:

-1 piece for the waist band

-2 pieces for tier 1

-2 pieces for tier 2

-4 pieces for tier 3

I'm 5"1' and on the smaller side overall. I got three yards of fabric. I suggest you double that if you're taller and/or wider.

This is how thin my waist band will now be. The elastic is about 3/4 inch. I originally made this waist band to be about 2 inches and I had to cut off the seam allowance from that. I still have a generous amount left just in case I may need to widen it (hopefully not!)

I accidentally started sewing this like a left-hander, so when the thread is done, I'll start on the other side so I can finish this faster 😆

Practicing drawing guys! It's the face shape that gets me. Unless they're really young (children basically) they don't have soft faces, but if I make them too sharp, it just looks out of place in my style.

I think I did well here!
