So I was outside painting and drawing. I was trying to find inspiration for what I should draw so I drew Stewie. I was happy with my work but I thought it needed just a bit more. I just knew something was missing. So I went to show the drawing to my parents and my dad had the idea that I draw a new version of Stewie. And so I did. Stewie's name is now Li'l Drew, and as you can see has now has cornrows. I actually really like this one.

I was on a zoom meeting with my art teacher and she mentioned one point perspective. At the time I did not know what It was so I looked up a youtube video and attempted to draw it and this is how it came out. The door, roof and walls are actually colored in with chalk and everything else is colored pencil. I didn't have a ruler either but I really tried

I drew this for an art school I'm trying to get into. One of the things we have to do to get in was to draw a perspective drawing. I actually love it. I didn't have a ruler again but I honestly think it came out better than the first time I tried to do one point perspective.

So this year for mothers day me and my two little sisters had a great day planned for my mom. When she woke up we all gave her the biggest hug. Then we took her back to her room. My youngest sister picked out her clothes for the day while me and my other little sister prepared what we were going to do for her. My youngest sister picked her out a beautiful dress with blue and pink and purple. We then sat her down in the big rolling chair. My little sister went to get her some warm water in a bowl. She then gave my mom a manicure and a pedicure. They she got her nails done. While she was getting her nails done I flat ironed her hair. It was the first time I've ever sat ironed hair. After that I did her makeup. The around dinner time we mad her a chocolate fudge marble cake. It was delicious.

So I drew this mermaid and she resembles an orange tree. Her name is Autumn. I thought since it's Mer-May I would draw a mermaid. I actually got this idea from one of my favorite youtube channel Appleminte.

So this is Lily. She is 18 and she's on her way home from college. I made her up in my mind. Like I do for most drawings I do. This was actually the first time I'e ever drawn and colored something plaid. It was really fun trying to make it too.

This is Leilani. When I drew her I started out with her eyes thinking that was all I was going to draw but ass I was drawing I had all these ideas coming to my head so I just kept drawing and she came out like this. I only used my finger and a 0.7 led pencil for her.

This is my OC (original character). Her name is Mayah but I'm going to change it to Cicielle (pronounced C-C-L). Anyway I love koala bears so that's why she holding a little koala stuffed animal. I am also a singer/songwriter. I don't know if you can see it well but there is a black spot right above the top of the dress. I gave myself a music note tattoo. I think this came out more amazing than I had expected.

This is the first drawing I put in my sketchbook. I was sketching. I drew Eve in January. She is supposed to me holding her other arm. I have no clue how her hand disappeared into her hair.

I recently drew this...I was thinking on calling her Ava. I have been working on my shading and coloring. I really like the colors I chose for her hair. I actually saw two different outfits online and I really liked them. So I decided to combine the two. Ava's top came from one drawing and her skirt came from another drawing.

Anyway, I hope you liked all of my drawings. I worked hard on these. If you have any drawing advice please let me know. I really love the way all of these came out. I hope you enjoyed them.
