What a bad scan, my printer sucks really. Hopefully you can see this well enough! I just used pencil. No paint, no ink. Just pencil. However since the scan was so miserable and I was trying to decide anyway, I think I'll redo this in ink and gouache. Maybe. We'll see!

Here it is! Fully colored in pen and ink. What do you think? I think he looks friendlier this way.

Definitely not an inch from being late this time! The inspiration for this one just popped into my head and I finished it last night. It's kinda simple. Just pen and ink.
Wait a little bit and I'll post my brother's idea for this week's word!

Wow, I got this one finished just in time! 0.0 I decided to try this picture with paint because I'm not too good at painting-as you can see-and I need practice. I also used some pen and ink, the flowers are some pen and ink and some guache, the background is just acrylic paint and the sun is guache too.

Everyday People

I was thinking about the song by Nicole C. Mullins when I drew this picture, and how amazing it is that every person, animal, insect, plant, every one is so different-so amazing that some random molecules just bumped together and BAM! created all this...amazing isn't it?
I hope you sensed my sarcasm. ACTUALLY, what I was thinking about the other day when I drew this was how amazing it really is to look at the complexity of every different person-excluding animals and insects and things. Not only in that every physical body is so peculiar to itself, but if you narrow it down even to senses of style, funny ideas about every little thing, the way each one talks, walks, interests I mean we really are like snowflakes. There will never be one of us the same as the other, EVER! It's so crazy to think about all God made, and how smart and advanced we think our society is must only be a speck compared to the vastness of God's mind and intelligence. I think my head would explode if I even tried to comprehend it. What about you?

Words for Building

For about three days I've been thinking alot about how the way people talk can build up or tear down. (I think mostly I tear down, like a wrecking ball!) We can really choose what to build,we could build something small, like little kids do with blocks, or we could build something HUGE! like a big city, with skyscrapers. Or...we can tear down those things, and our words can be toxic, the picture I get is like how the recent oil spill looks. It didn't take a long time to make the mistake, but now experts are predicting it will takes YEARS to repair. And thats how words are, it doesn't take long to unthinkingly spew something that will take years for the hearer to recover from. However! The good news is that positive words that build up and encourage can affect lives for years as well, and instead of being poisonous and stinky, our words can be like perfume.
