Daily Doodles- Day 89- 15/07/24

Started a new sketchbook!

Also got some new pencil leads (I don't know what they're actually called) for my mechanical pencil. I think the ones I got are for pencil art because they're pretty dark. It looks absolutely gorgeous though!

Daily Doodles- Day 75- 29/06/24

I drew myself! I've been on YouTube shorts, seeing other artists doing cute drawings of themselves, so here's mine!

I drew myself as I am in an outfit that I own.

Just a reminder to keep "no idols, no heroes, no gods" mentality. I say this in reference to celebrities and youtubers, etc. I've had this mentality from a very young age. I've only had merch from one creator ever and it was a present. Never put your favorite YouTuber or celebrity on a pedestal, do not idolize them, do not worship them. Over the past month on more recently with some YouTubers and celebrities who many people idolized getting called out for horrible behaviors, I've seen so many people who are "disappointed" and "couldn't believe it." YOU can't believe it, I can. You put these people on pedestals and act as if they are less able to commit atrocious acts or say awful things than other bad people you've come into contact with in your life. They aren't, they are just as able, if not moreso. You don't KNOW them. No matter whose content I'm watching or reading, etc, I never once think that because I deeply enjoy their creation or what they are a part of, it eliminates them from the possibility of being morally wrong or ignorant. I'm not mad at people who have this reaction, being heartbroken, but I simply have learned long ago to not become emotionally invested in creators or celebrities. They are just as bad as real people, they are human. When I say they are human, I'm saying they are just as able to do and say horrible things as people in our own lives are. I'm not surprised by or disappointed in certain information that comes out, because well, I didn't idolize them. It's not surprising to me, because to people in those positions, they are selling you a part of their.personaliy. they are not your friend, they are not people worthy of idolization. You can admire their WORK. But unless you know them personally, even then, do NOT idolize them.

I liked colouring the last coloured pencil girl, so I made another one! They both have cool blue hair! 🔵💙🔷

Daily Doodles- Day 36- 23/05/24

I missed three days, so I did three doodles today to catch up.

I adore delicately shaped pencil art of whimsical ladies, especially when their hair is left the white of the paper. It's such a cool contrast

Here's my version of that.

Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #1

Update 0 | Here | Update 2 | Update 3 | Update 4 | Update 5 | Update 6

Technically this is update #2, but the first post was very bare-bones.

So, to get you up-to-date:

I decided to make a granny square maxi skirt. I started with the light blue yarn as that was what I had. I bought the multi-coloured blue yarn next and planned to make a 2 coloured skirt.

I needed to do some math to see how many squares I needed to make. Here it is:

Granny squares- 4 inches Hip measurement- 36 inches Length of skirt- 32 inches

Divide the measurements by the length of granny squares: 36 ÷ 4 = 9 and 32 ÷ 4 = 8

Multiply the results: 8 X 9 = 72

So I have 72 granny squares to crochet. To get how many I need to crochet in each colour, I divide 72 by 2 which is 36.

This changed when my sister said I should add a next colour.

I stuck with my blue theme of course. This addition meant that the math had to change. So now I divided 72 by 3 and got 24 which seems much more manageable to me even though I still have to crochet 72 granny squares.

I'm pretty close to my goal! I believe I have 15 or 16 of each at the time of writing this post.

My hands get REALLY sore after a short while crocheting, so I only crochet 3 a day. It's slow going but I'd rather practice patience than bust up my hands.

I also recently got these cute stitch markers! I'm not working on any projects that need stitch markers at the moment, but they worked really well at holding my squares together so I could see how the skirt looked so far!

Daily Doodles- Day 109- 02/08/24

Started my first day of work on the 2nd and I didn't do much (mainly a small tour, meeting co workers and setting up my computer), so I had time to make a whole illustration!

I was feeling very 'pen and ink' and 'storybookish', so I drew a lost boy in a dark forest (or something) with creatures peeking out at him.

I had brought along my pen, pencil and sketchbook with me just in case. Once I'm settled in, I obviously won't have time to be drawing, but I'll still be bringing my sketchbook, because lunchtime exists and I can multitask!
