When magazines come alive

A weird title, I know. It's the title of a drawing/graphic/whateveryoucallitasdfghjkl I've been working on.

As you can see, the model notices a KitKat on the table and it's so delicious that she becomes alive and reaches out of the magazine to take it. :-P (watch out your magazines don't do this at home lol)

It's made 100% by me, and I decided to keep the outline/sketch because it gives the graphic a special cartoon-ish effect. The background is not very creative, but it works nicely as a contrast to the bright red chocolate.

The only mistake is that the KitKat is too small in comparison to the magazine, just pretend it's a KitKat Mini. Problem solved.


Opinions PLEASE? :D

Practice graphic

Hello, people. No, I'm not dead. But it's been so long since I made a graphic that I decided to make a new one. It's not a big thing, just a dress I found on Topshop for practice.

It turned out even worse than I expected, my expectations were probably too high lol.
But I still like it a little bit, the cute necklace almost makes up for the horrible shading.

What do you think?

EDIT: I lowered the opacity a bit because the shading looks too choppy. Do you think this version is better?

It's not as bright, but the shading is blended in more smoothly.

Do you like the new makeover?

I know, the colour scheme and stuff is similar to before, I'm just not very good at blog layouts. But I like that the banner is actually ME. I used this picture of myself:

This is hopefully not the end of the changes. Look forward to more updates and stuff tomorrow.

Opinions pleeeaaaaseeeee??! :3

New makeover coming today or tomorrow! :D

I feel bad for not updating this blog for so long, because I have a lot of new stuff to share with you readers (if anyone is still reading this, of course)! As I said in the title, this blog is getting a makeover as soon as I finish the banner that I am working on right now.
Until then, you can get an update of my graphics since the last update. I will put the drawings in a separate post, I'm too lazy to scan them all right now.

Now, before you ask anything, I made this for a project in Danish. We were working with a book and one of the tasks was to write a part of the story from another character's point of view. We were working in a group, and I did all the illustrations. So, yeah. I know, the quality of the shading itself is horrible and asdfghjklmnbvcxsertyutrewxcvbn but it's still better than a barely visible pencil-drawn illustration like by all the other groups. I like the trees though. :D
And I forgot to mention that I drew it all by myself, no reference pics.

The rest is my entries for SDNTGD Task 1 and 2 (I was eliminated after that lol)

Ok, I agree with the judges. The background is horrible. But it was my first time using a tablet - for the hair and dress - and I think it works quite well.

I understand why I was eliminated, this is better than my previous graphics but it isn't good enough anyway. There are some places that look really awkward and wrong, although for my first time drawing fur, it didn't come out as bad as I feared (the fur, everything else is much worse).
Thank you SDNTGD for giving me this opportunity, I know I'm not good enough now but maybe some day I'll become a professional graphic/animation artist - yes, I'm starting to take the dream seriously.


Yeah, that was all. But expect MUCH more from me soon - I've decided to make this into a personal blog and not only graphics, so maybe I will also start writing real life-related posts and stuff like that.

Oh, and you're still welcome to comment/react in any way and show that you are actually reading (or at least skimming through) this. :3

Random drawing made on Pixlr

Ugh, I haven't updated this blog for so long time now. I have so many new drawings and stuff to show, but I'm too lazy to scan them all. I made this sketch right now and I actually like it :)

The only problem is that I forgot to add a new layer, so this is on a white background and I can't make a graphic out of it :/

What do you think? :D
