Randomness and My Sketchbook

'Ello!
What's up? I wasn't sure what to post today, as I feel like I have bombarded you with my lousy writing enough lately. Despite that, I wanted to post, so I took my sketchbook out and took pictures of every page. (I probably won't post all of them.) Before I share my rather pathetic artwork with you, I'd like to share some randomness that I feel you need to see. First off...















My brother's photograph. He is amazing. Then again, he does have a great camera... I have only my iPhone. Either way this picture is astonishing, he took it for photography class. My apologies for the shadow of me taking a picture of his picture. Second,











That's Gruff. Isn't he cute? He's from Tinkerbell and the Legend Of The Netherbeast. Watch that movie, and you'll be in love with this cute fella. He kind of reminds me of Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.

Okay, now you get to see my sketchbook. It's rather embarrassing...

















That's umm... a flower. Yeah. 


















That would be a girl I know's horse, Eva The Diva. I did horribly in drawing her, the muzzle looks like a beak, her front leg is coming out of her chest, and her ears are cone-shaped. What the heck was I thinking???












Ugh Blogger is being so annoying... Anyway, here's a drawing of my horse, Ruby Tuesday.













Sorry it's sideways, I'm too lazy to go fix it on Picmonkey. Just tilt your head, It's Toothless the dragon.












Doodling...



















I think that's a fox.


















It's a BLUE owl! Yaaaaaay.... -_-


















It's a girl... she's either dancing or jumping. You decide.


















Umm... no comment.


















I drew this dog a while ago. I feel like it doesn't look right, but I can't tell what's wrong! 
















WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?! This horse is totally not proportionate, and the legs... don't get me started.

















I kind of like this one! It's a very arab-looking horse, trotting down the hill. The only thing is... the shadow. *face palm*


















Once again, no comment.


















"Hug me!" Says the panda bear.

















I drew this for Small Dolls In a Big World, it's supposed to be Kanani at the beach, with the sunset behind her.


















There's Gruff! 

That's all I think I'll post, but I may share more of my artwork in the future. Do you like to draw? If so, what are you best at? I love hearing from you in the comments! Bye!

I Attempt Poetry

Hello!
It's very, very late. But, it's Friday so it doesn't matter! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days... I've been busy. Today I was looking at some other writing blogs, and I found that a lot of people write poetry! I've never really attempted writing a poem... Unless you count old school-projects. I figured I'd try it out, and so,  I will write a poem to match a picture I found.(that I unfortunately cannot post due to technical difficulties)  Just pretend there's a photo of a doe in the snow below. (I did not mean to make that rhyme! No joke!) :P Anyway... Here we go!

Light foot steps,
Graceful movements,
Swift leaps,
Calm eyes,

Walking slowly,
Until she needs to run,
Then she is like a lightning bolt,
Flashing away,
But not without her fawn.

She protects her young,
With love as strong as any mother's,

She is beautiful in her ways,
She is a deer.

Okay... Tell me that wasn't awful. I know, it was. I'll keep practicing though! I'll try and write you a better poem after I practice a bit. Until then, what did you think of this one? Do you like to write poetry? If so, why? If not, why not? Please let me hear from you in the comments! Bye!

The Dragon's Awakening

Hello!
I have a new goal. Each day I will write a short story, just a paragraph or two. I am doing this to develop my writing. Basically, I'm practicing! I probably won't share all of my writing with you, but today I will. Inspired by the following picture prompt, here is, The Dragon's Awakening.
     The Dragon's Awakening
"I have something to show you." Yuko told his best friend Ben, "But you have to promise not to tell anyone about it, it's a secret." "I promise." Ben said without a doubt. "Okay..." Yuko said. He reached into his pocket, emptied a brown pouch into his hand, and cupped his hands over the unknown object. "What is it?" Ben asked, Peering at Yuka's clasped hands with curiousity. Slowly, Yuka opened his hands, revealing a tiny, black, winged reptile. Ben stared at it with a gaping mouth. "The dragons are back." He murmured.

So... What do you think? This is my 3rd writing style I use.The others are displayed in The Ghost Of Mulberry Lane and Beyond. Which of these three pieces of my writing is your favorite?

Book Challenge/Tag

Oh hello dear readers!
How are you? I'm hoping you're good. I am doing fairly fine myself. Kathryn, at Hobbits and Hippogriffs recently tagged me for a book or reading challenge! So... I have to answers some questions, and tag some people. So... I tag:

Lydia (Through The Wardrobe)
Rukiya (Shine N Elevate)
Emily (Dancing In The Moonlight)

Now, here are the questions!

1.April TBR (To be read?)
It's well into May... But I'd like to finish the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series by the end of May,

2.Book or series you would like to see as a movie?
Hmm... Leven Thumps and The Gateway To Foo... That would make an awesome movie.

3. Overhyped book or author?
I'm so sorry Kathryn but, Tolkien. I just... Don't get what all the fuss is about. His books are... Meh.

4.The best book series you will ever read?
Oh there are so many amazing series! Warriors, Ember, Percy Jackson, Hunger games, The Penderwicks...I could go on and on.

5.The first Hunger Games movie was definitely NOT as good as the book!!!

6.Books that just made you cry?
Oh sad books... :( I cried when reading Warriors, I cried when reading Cracker, I cried in so many sad but great books.... I get really attached to the characters I'm reading about.

7. Book that you're currently reading? Give it a quick rating.
I actually am not reading anything... I finished Sea Of Monsters by Rick Riordon yesterday though. It was awesome. 9/10 rating

8.A book series you just didn't like?
I didn't really like LOTR or The Hobbit...

9.Book that you haven't read but really need to?
All my friends want me to read "Divergent".

10. If you could only read 5 books for the rest of your life what would they be? (No series!)
Okay... I'm going to try and get some balance between genres here... The Lightning Thief, The Penderwicks, Catching Fire, Mrs.Frisby and The Rats Of Nymh, and Sunset. That's pretty balanced... Some YA, some classics childrens, some animal-based, yep.

This was super fun! Oh and I'm supposed to replace #10, so for the people I tagged, What character from a book reminded you of yourself the most? Have fun! And have a nice day! Bye!
