B is for Bear Necessities

B is for Baloo

I have not seen The Jungle Book is soo long, but I do love Baloo!

Fun Fact - Phil Harris does his voice as well as Thomas O'Malley from the Aristocats.

B is for Bagheera

(Also from the Jungle Book)

B is also for the Blood and Sand workout I did yesterday with my boyfriend

(also starts with B, heh heh)

I can hardly move my legs today. It's soo painful!!

Yes I know I am cheating, Tramp and Max don't start with B but I drew them a couple days ago and wanted to post them.

Also a big thanks to all the comments in my last post, it's great to know people look at my blog!!

p.s. I know today is technically C day, but I missed it yesterday and there is 30 days in April.

A is for Ariel!

A is for Ariel

I'm slightly obsessed with ariel, which means over the past few years, I have drawn her quite a bit. Here are a few of my favourites..

And because I love her so much, I had to dress up as her for a Disney party!

If you have any drawing suggestions for a different letter, please let me know!

Portfolio done!

My Portfolio is done!!

All I need to do is a couple titles and print my title page and BAM, it's all completed!

I'm pretty nervous though, you just never know exactly what they want, and if you will get in till that letter comes in the mail.

I remember getting accepted to the summer program. I opened the email and my heart was pounding like crazy. I was extremely happy. The summer program was about the most fun I had ever had in school, and I'm thinking the full program school be no exception!

Here are some sketches I did recently, that made it in to my portfolio.

Any suggestions for drawings to do now, for fun??

Ariel! How I've missed you!

Home sick today... Yuck!

Honestly, I thought I had been sick enough but noooooooo...

Right, right sorry, enough of my sob story.

After going so long without drawing Disney, I thought I should give it a try again, and man did I miss it! Of course I chose to draw Ariel (I loove her)!

Anyways, off to draw more!

Comics

For a while I have wanted to make little comics. Years and years ago I made stick man ones, which I will scan and post because they are pretty funny!

Anywho, I made one today for fun. Hope you enjoy it!

life drawing!

So in the spirit of needing way more life drawings, I spend almost all day yesterday going to the mall and a life drawing session with Karly. I am pretty pleased, need more though. Enjoy.

A fun poem for you all-

Big, small, thin, fat,

drawing with my thinking cap.

all this worry,

in a hurry

I think its time for a nap.

Is there anything big and exciting coming up for you that requires preparation?

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd,
because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?""I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!
"The Walrus did beseech."
A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stoodAnd waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"

"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.
"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--

Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."
"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would beA dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!
"The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!
"The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
