Originally, this was a picture of Taylor Swift, but I tweaked and modefied

the facial features. So now she looks reminiscient of Taylor, but not entirely like her.

I'm not a fan of her music, but Taylor Swift is gorgeous and I just had to draw her.

I chose the dark background for this one because the original sketch

of her made her look concerned, frightened, and maybe a hint of shame.

I was also in a dark room at the time, it's funny where inspiration can come from.

Nothing really in particular for this one. She just

looks like she's laying in the sun to me.

I was just drawing, testing out whether or not I could draw a smile with teeth

I discovered that she looked kind of awkward, as if she had tripped and ripped her

dress or something. I thought, "hey, why not have a pretty girl with

an awkward smile?" We all do stupid things, even the best of us can be clumsy,

but the best way to get through those embarassing times: Laugh it off.

I was doodling and decided "I want to draw a girl in a big hat"

so I did....

We all aren't who we seem to be, sometimes we don't even

know for ourselves who we truly are. When we come to

that realization, we are reborn, in a sense, into who we

were meant to become all along, a more loving,

beautiful human being.

I was looking through one of my sister's teen magazines

and I came across an ad with a curvy, voluptuous woman draped

in red. I was amazed to see a woman who was not stick thin in a magazine

She was classically beautiful, not in such a way as to following a trend.

I decided to draw the model, to make the image more personal to me.

What we learn from this: Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors,

and in different and unique ways.

I have always loved mythology and fantasy. I have always

seen Faeries as whimsical and freespirited creatures. Though

it seems childish, I do in fact have quite the fascination with

Faeries. Drawing them just adds to it, I guess.

I was once again flipping through Emily's teen magazines

looking for some sort of inspiration when I saw a picture of a

very Asian looking girl with blue eyes. Although it looked rather odd,

I found the girl interesting and beautiful. I decided to try the

combination, and I was rather pleased with how the portrait came out.

Now, a few months later, I see that I have improved since that picture and it

almost seems mediocre. Oh, well, might as well keep the post, right?
