why does life hate me?

Nothing is going right today! I wanted to start my adventure book but the printer ran out of black ink so all the pictures are pink. So I couldnt work on that. Then, I was going to make a movie with my edmonton videos but I cant find any of the videos on my computer. Arg! I cant draw cause I dont have a sketchbook journal (I have to wait for that). Why is life sooo difficult?AANNNNDDD now melissa is leaving me!!!!! And bringing her cat with her. I have nothing left in life. hahha just kidding. but I dont know what to dooooooo. help please.

I drew these for peoples christmas cards yesterday/ the day before.

Christmas for a Cause

Christmas for a Cause is a show a few people I know are putting on to raise money for the needy. Im not really sure what organization its going to, but one that needs the money. Anyways for the past couple years it has gone on and has been a big hit. They do a bunch of christmas songs, whether it be funny, sentimental or just plain silly. However, this year Amanda asked me to draw the cover for their program. Ofcourse I was thrilled to do that. I decided to make everyone cartoon characters. Anywhoo, this is basically the finished product.

I know I have not been on here for quite some time. I have been drawing but not as much usual because of school. Also I finished my sketchbook journal and I dont have another one yet. However, I think I will ask for some more for christmas. I want to go back to the same one as I started out with. My second one was good because of the watercolor paper, but it was much to small.

Melissa is over at the moment and is making the greatest card ever! I wish it was for me but no such luck. pshh! maybe she will put a picture of it up on her blog after giving it to the lucky bastard! hahah oops, did that slip out?

animation open house

Yesterday was the animation open house at my school. I went and brought my drawings, and it was good. However, I dont think I am ready for the course cause I have had no training at all. So, I think I will do the summer program first. That way I can have worked out all the basics, and get more out of the program. Wait a year to apply so I can work and pay off the musical theatre schooling. For some reason though, thinking of taking a year off freaks me out. Maybe I feel like I will have nothing to do or something. Who knows, but maybe the idea will grow on me. It seams like the most logical.

Anyways, I did these drawings after going to the open house yesterday. I was talking to one of the instructors, and he was talking about how using blue pencil allows for more mistakes. So I did.

I cant wait for this evening. Going to Melissa's to watch The Proposal with her and her mom. I love that movie. I saw it three times in theatres haha. Bonus! We are also having ribs... Yummm! Her mom makes them really well, basically everything she cooks is really good so yeah.

Current Sketchbook Journal

Some sketches from my current sketchbook journal. I dont like the layout of it as much. Will finish it so I can buy a sketchbook like my other one.

mid-term show

I thought my mid-term show was going to suck like nothing else. I had a huge headache that day and was so tired. But I had to go and perform my substitution song. In this unit at school each person goes up and sings a song, just like every other review show, but this time Kevin (our singing instructor) throws things at you that you have to go with. During the class workshop of this I hated it. I was sooo frustrated and in tears basically the whole time. Trying to sing through it. Ugh! However, the show went really well. I felt like I overcame the song.

BREAKING NEWS!

After melissa has been taken over with the Swine for the past billion years, she is now able to be in public, and is on her way here as I type this. She even is taping gossip girl to come and watch 8 simple rules, and what I like about you, with me. YAY!

My Halloween was pretty good. I dressed up in the morning to teach my musical theatre class. I didnt really have a costume or anything so I quickly googled "simple, easy halloween costumes" the morning of, and decided to be SUPER NERD! A super hero who's powers are her nerdyness. Well the kids enjoyed it anyways, haha. Later on, in the evening, I went to Joey tomatoes with my family, where my brother proceeded to eat his leftover lunch while waiting for our dinner to arrive. Really? I mean, you just don't do that! At a restaurant, no less! Well those of you who know my brother know he's not one to follow what everyone else is doing. Anyways, we rented a movie called "The Stone of Destiny" starring Charlie Cox! He is beautiful and his accent is amazing. It is based on a true story and its pretty funny. Hmm, maybe I can convince Melissa to watch it tonight.

So Im very excited for the animation open house this weekend. But I have to go after teaching, hopefully I wont miss anything.

I guess I should stop writing now and do stupid homework. barf!

I did these drawings as soon as I arrived home from school today. I had an early day due to dance practicum practice. So I got out at 2:30, yay! I decided to drop by the animation office to find out more information about the portfolio. I was talking to the head lady and she printed out a sheet that had all the information about what they are looking for. There is also an open house for it next month. Very exciting. Anyways, I thought I should go home and practice my characters.

I cant wait for christmas vacation! I know its really early for that, but just think about it. Three weeks of no school, warm fire places, sitting on the couch and reading. It will be amazing. Not to mention no school! Oh did I mention that already? hah.

I will continue to add new drawings daily.. hopefully.

my old sketchbook journal.

Hello!

I have realized that I have not put up any of my drawings for quite some time. This is a problem if I want more followers. Therefore, I have decided to put up some of my drawings.

These drawings are from my old sketchbook journal I completed at the beginning of september. Here are a few samples. I am working on my next one, but it bugs me cause its soo small. Buuut, I made it a rule to finish all my sketchbooks before I start another.

So recently I have been very frustrated with school. I had a masterclass that I was not at all happy about. I just dont get excited for anything anymore. Surprisingly the most enjoyable classes are dance at the moment. Today wasnt bad, I left in a good mood and really enjoyed working on the dance practicum.

Melissa- I'm so sorry your sick. I love you so much, and hope you feel better. You can always email me when your bored. I will respond as soon as I can.
