Jacques Cousteau

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.

(I drew this in the fifth grade. I traced the outline and how I wanted to set this up. It was a cover page for a biography project that was really fun. 🙂 learn about Jacques Cousteau!) -Isa

Toph is blind

Toph: “There it is!”

Everyone else:*looks around*

Everyone else: *Glares at Toph, disapproving of her blind jokes*

Toph: “That’s what it will sound like when one of you SPOTS it.

Toph:*exaggeratedly waves hands in front of her eyes*

You can tell I got lazy around the end.

I feel this was great practice for comics. They are really hard and the composition structure is difficult to put together and it takes too long! You probably can’t read the comic… oh well.

This was fun! I’ve been wanting to draw this scene for a long time… and here we go!

(I can never draw Katara it’s so annoying!!!!)

The Calm Wizard of the Sea

I always see sea-turtles in my head that way.

So, I got some new markers!? They’re not copic markers, but they’re still pretty good, except I have NO idea what I should be doing.

Markers make no sense.

Nor do turtles.

Have a happy Thursday and Friday!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

I have a few reviews on my other blog that were published, and there be more to come! Also, I’m planning on putting up a short story I’ve been working on??? That’s questionable, actually, I might be too shy. 😛

Nature’s great masterpiece…

Elephant

Nature’s great masterpiece, an elephant, the only harmless great thing. -John Donne

Love will draw an elephant through a keyhole. -Samuel Richardson

Of all African animals, the elephant is the most difficult for man to live with, yet its passing – if this must come – seems the most tragic of all. I can watch elephants (and elephants alone) for hours at a time, for sooner or later the elephant will do something very strange such as mow grass with its toenails or draw the tusks from the rotted carcass of another elephant and carry them off into the bush. There is mystery behind that masked gray visage, and ancient life force, delicate and mighty, awesome and enchanted, commanding the silence ordinarily reserved for mountain peaks, great fires, and the sea.” ― Peter Matthiessen, The Tree Where Man Was Born

So, still going on with operation teach self to watercolor!

I seem to have difficulty controlling the thickness of the paint I use, also of the brush. I just need a bit of getting used to.

I hope everyone’s having a great new years so far! I plan on doing an award nomination thing soon, given by Evi!

Has anyone else noticed that everyone is going self hosted? Chloe brought it up, ans she says she’s going to go self hosted too!

Well, have a great week, happy Friday!

A very quick doodle of the amazing LUNA LOVEGOOD!

She’s such a precious character, and I’ve been seeing her all over Tumblr, so I was inspired. Stay tuned to Books and Stuff for a Luna post I look forward to sharing!

Gosh, IT’S BEEN SO LONG! I’ve had a very busy life. I’ve had… 3 orchestra concerts, a bunch of swimming, and choir, and homework… and finals which were soooooooooo stressful so my days were like:

Well, they were a bit better, but still. My science one was probably the hardest. I think I did very well on it though.

As for my concerts, i had an after school one were I got FOURTH CHAIR (out of 22)hows that. The front chair people were amazingly good, the violin one soloist though… was amazing! So I felt proud, I hope you guys get opportunities to really show your talents too, I bet just by blogging you guys already are!

Is anyone else just loving legend of Korra? Or, say that finale for ONCE UPON A TIME. I felt like crying where Belle did the unthinkable, just… *fangirls*

Anyways… thought I’d just catch you up. I have winter break coming, along with the anniversary of A Doodler’s Freedom! Yay!

Happy Holidays,

-Isa

I’m back… with a Steve Jobs!

I’ve disappeared, I know, I’m SORRY! It’s school.

I have to come back though, I have two Liebster Awards, and (I’m especially excited for this one) a My Hero Monday Linkup with Chloe! Check out her blog: http://freeasagirlwithwings.wordpress.com/

Anyways, I was thinking of doing Annabeth Chase, or Amelia Earhart. I was wondering if you guys could help me choose, or give me more suggestions. Thanks!

I’ve been gone due to school. Very busy, you see.

And alas, the promised Steve Jobs sketch.
