Things Things Things

Where to start?

I started a vlog on YouTube! I'll be posting a new video about every week or so, I hope.

Here's my first! 

Yesterday I did a colour pencil drawing of Karen Gillan [Amy Pond] in one of her pictures for her Radio Times photo shoot. 

I was SUPER excited to find that Peter Capaldi was selected to play the 12th Doctor. He is an awesome actor and I'm sure he'll do a brilliant job.

And today, for the main story. Today I started working at my school's registrar office [paid!]. I'm going to be working there for a week, about six hours a day, so hopefully I'll earn around $176, which will go to buying my beautiful camera I have selected, the Nikon Coolpix S5200:

It's beautiful!

I'm also hoping to have enough money to buy myself 11's sonic screwdriver from the Doctor Who AUS shop [free shipping, woohoo!], which costs AUS $30.

The job at the school is making 800 welcome packets for the entire school population, and all sorts of different papers and labels have to go on them to make sure they get delivered to the right place. Our school's under construction right now, so it's HOT. And things are moved all over the place! 

It's August, which means LAST STAND OF DEAD MEN! I'm getting a copy for my birthday, which is on the 2nd of September! Sadly, my dad is leaving London the day of Derek's signing [30th August], but I'm sure I'll get to meet Derek when he goes down under!

Are any of you going to the signings?

I'm tired. I hate packing, so when I do things that I hate doing, I either get tired or hungry. Or both.

I'm leaving tomorrow night, so this is definitely my last post from my house, but who knows? Maybe I take some photos and post them during the holidays :) I'll misss yoouu!

Artwork that I did yesterday:

I guess there's meaning behind it. When there's darkness around you, look for the rainbow :)

One thing I wish I could have done is blended the colours better [I used watercolour pencils and a pen] and maybe layered them a bit more. Not my best, I must say.

Anyways, have a good holiday and stay safe!

*drags body to bed and whimpers*

More Doctor Who Stuff!

Hehe, I've been getting really excited with all this DW art and stuff. In addition to the TARDIS that I did in the last post, I also did these two:

Ah so the top one is Rose, and the eyes are just...eyes. BUT the reason that I made these is to put them into this (click it to enlarge!) :

So there's the three drawings plus three edited photos, and then quotes from the Season 1 Finale, The Parting of the Ways. If you haven't already noticed, I am exactly 8 years and 2 days late in watching it, but I'm catching up! So yep, there you go!

P.S. I love Doctor Who.

TARDIS art!

I haven't been writing or chatting much, mostly because DW is taking up all my time. Do you know how hard it is to try and catch up on 7 seasons, all while the entire Doctor Who fandom releases spoilers on a daily basis?! Yep, so I just finished the first season. It's been a week since I started, so my pace is not too shabby, I must say. But still, NEED TO WATCH MORE.

Anyways, my sister and I were doing art today, just cause, and I decided to work on some fan art. If you took a look in my sketchbook, you'd mostly see fan art from DOSAB, and a teensy-bit of SP. Since I LOVE Doctor Who, I decided to do some TARDIS fan art.

Behold.

If you're wondering why it's not blue, it was an attempt to paint a space-like background onto the TARDIS. Eh, it actually turned out better than I expected :) 

Oh and we (my sister and I) just made Oreo cupcakes, I might post some photos of those once I get my hands on them [ssssneaky sisstersss, ssstealing photossss].

Hope you like it! Any feedback would be appreciated!

summer. is. coming.

I just finished my exams. Good Golden Gracious God, that feels so good.

Strangely enough, I don't have much to say. Except that I have had a lot of fun this past week tweeting pictures of Derek in a wedding dress to Derek. (still waiting for him to reply)

Ermmm, and also school ends TUESDAY NEXT WEEK!!!!!! Super excited to be able to spend more time talking to people on MY FIRST LAPTOP WHICH I AM HOPEFULLY GETTING NEXT FRIDAY *knocks on wood* *bangs head against wooden cupboard*

I believe this may be my most boring blog post yet. Here are some random photos and drawings I've been meaning to post:

Skulduggery Stuff:

 

A terrible sketch of el Skulduggo.

 

 

Best. Wallpaper. Ever.

 

 

Best. Screensaver. Ever.

 

My brilliant Photoshop skills.

 

Last Post Before Exams!

Hello! I am grumpy at the moment because in addition to having a math test TOMORROW, I also have a bunch of final-year exams next week. And we haven't even finished our biology unit yet. Go figure.

But anyways, I am also grumpy because that means my mother I will not let myself procrastinate by doing fun things. Like checking up on Derek Landy's blog. Or drawing fan art from DOSAB and DOBAS or Skulduggery Pleasant. (I am really hoping to do some SP fan art soon, because I'm working on some SP fan-fiction as well!) Or checking up on my pageviews and trying to imagine the life of the person who visited my blog, who, apparently, lives in Mauritius. If you reading this right now, Mauritius-habitant, HI!

So I leave you with this sketch I did a while back, and I hope you enjoy it.  Farewell until after my exams, and good luck to anyone who is also taking them! :)

P.S. If anyone has any comments or suggestions about my art, please feel free to comment!
