Not happy with the coloring, but it'll do I suppose. Started with a graphite sketch and threw it on GIMP.]]>Anna by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:fdd2a12f-82df-ced0-854f-2f63a0c4d72b2014-01-10T22:07:12-08:00This was definitely the most ambitious thing I've done digitally so far - I usually just say I'm not good at it, so I don't have to really try ;P But I had so much fun coloring Elsa last night, that I wanted to try her sister. I started with a graphite sketch, then colored it in GIMP.
My goal was to take the exact pose, lighting, and coloring of an oil painting I did, and switch the model with Anna. I am really happy with the results. It was so much fun to try to recreate what I did in oils, but digitally. It's crazy how naturally the two work together.

Drew AJ, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, but I only brought home the one I thought turned out best. Drawing with crayons was way more fun than I thought it would be :D
I realize the background is pretty...bad :P I'll try to see if I have any crayons hidden away somewhere, maybe try to make this look more polished (and make my name there a little less obvious!)]]>Lagoona Blue by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:384b0523-1b49-23c6-fffd-e0679319de6f2013-05-01T02:50:15-07:00Just playing around with GIMP...took a graphite sketch I did a few weeks back and slapped color on it.]]>Cleo de Nile by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:3265bd5b-e436-6dca-fd44-93c03b414f412013-05-01T02:48:10-07:00Just playing around with GIMP...took a graphite sketch I did a few weeks back and slapped color on it.]]>Trust by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:e3b44903-4845-aef5-b3b6-b46fc82bf22a2013-04-23T07:15:47-07:00Old drawing (2011, I think?) that I apparently never submitted here.

Drawing of evil Cadence, or Chrysalis :P This is a moment where she's giving a really fake, insincere, dogy smile. I thought htat was expressive and telling enough to draw.
I really, really emphasized the lighting and shadows in this. Give it a lot of drama. Usually that also emphasizes the 'creepy' factor my realistic drawings of ponies inherently have, but I think that was perfectly fitting for this one.]]>in which ponies sighed by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:d7f1dd0a-6127-c8eb-b129-1ee6cd8557c42012-01-28T21:36:16-08:00Rarity is second best pony, behind Applejack :)

Drawn using a mechanical pencil (HB) and 2H on ridiculously smooth paper (an old sketchbook I found from when I first started drawing, only half full. What a discovery.)]]>From by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:a7ae236c-3178-45a4-8acc-03182f1e7f362011-05-04T08:54:46-07:00Watercolors randomly splattered on paper. Afterward I tried to draw something on top of it, without any kind of plan. Completely spontaneous :D
This absolutely requires a second glance, but practically no one is willing to give it that...Please take a look at the details, if you don't I'll cry :(
...okay, maybe not. But if you did, I'd sure appreciate it ;P]]>Marina by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:4218bc46-e5aa-66fc-0203-ae4b53d8e60a2011-05-04T08:54:38-07:00Watercolor portrait of one of my best friends.]]>Dayvonn and Yoshi by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:55171c9e-e69b-b678-f513-32a6987ea4f32011-05-04T08:54:34-07:00My boyfriend being a dumbass with a toy yoshi, haha.

There's a concept: The cracks are actually tiny, tiny words (the words to the Star Spangled Banner, in Japanese) and the Statue of Liberty is in each eye.
I was just a little annoyed by the people who obsess over the Japanese culture. Y'know, the ones that say random Japanese words like "kawaii", and praise Pocky like a God. It kind of makes me feel embarrased to be Japanese :P
I don't have a really ood reason for choosing Hamasaki Ayumi. She's just really popular, and I've heard my mom complain about how 'western' she is, with her morals and such. I don't really know anything else about her, but I couldn't think of who else to draw XD

I think he had a lot of talent, but I really feel sorry for him. He had such a rough childhood, he spent the rest of his life trying to make up what he lost, while at the same time trying to be as far away as possible from his father (so much so did all that plastic surgery!). There was a lot of skill in his music and dancing, yet you never feel like you connect with him. His songs were dead, and he turned into what people would describe a 'corpse,' both inside and out.
That, and it's hilarious to me how fast the media made a martyr out of him. When I was in sixth grade, the whole child molestation thing was at its peak. I don't think I went a single day without hearing a MJ joke. He was like the boogeyman of the time! So when I heard he died, I was actually mostly surprised by the media's reaction: how they instantly changed gears and praised him.
LOL, a negative score XD]]>In a Coat He Borrowed from James Dean by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:3bedda4a-f562-bd2d-a49d-6b3ce941077a2009-09-29T21:05:57-07:00POUTY LIPS!! I love that part the most!
Props to anyone that can guess where the title's from ;)
A commission. It's sad, though, how many of my classmates thought this was Elvis, or someone from 90210, or something like that, haha.
I did all of the hair during school between classes. I have absolutely no time at night now school's started, because I have a ridiculous amount of homework. So this and my other art had been neglected.
And, I learned never to draw during lunch. Why? His neck. I don't know what got on it, but those stains look reeeeeeeeeeaally bad.
EDIT: HOLY CRAP. I was surprised to see this got featured! Thank you so much!! I guess those little spots can't be too bad then, huh? XD]]>Glamorous Ginger by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:fd2a9f9c-3098-6419-1909-b98e6835a2472009-08-01T14:02:50-07:00A sketch I did yesterday of the beautiful and talented Ginger Rogers. The reference must've been from the 30's.
Sorry about the bad quality; it was taken with my cell. I don't have any other means to get big drawings or paintings on the computer :(
Used a mech. pencil and 6B graphite. Absolutely no blending at all.]]>Kooper by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:8ee8d9f3-22e8-48d9-1754-d1d0ed58ebd72009-07-26T17:33:18-07:00A drawing I did for a contest on deviantart.

He's just so charming. Fun little fact: His legs were insured for $1 million!
Please excuse the little white spot in the corner there...I'm going to put my signature and the date there soon.
This took a month (Started June 1st, finished a few minutes ago). I used a 8B, 6B, 4B, 2B, and a mech. pencil (HB). I'm actually very pleased with the result :)
I'm entering him into the County and State Fairs, so I hope he does well :) Last year I got some great results (It was the Audrey Hepburn, she was even featured on this site!), so it kinda put a lot of pressure on me to do the same!]]>I am Blooper, Hear Me Roar by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:f4dd0c91-ab03-8923-457b-e0c0f1d07e162009-07-02T13:30:04-07:00One of my firsts with watercolor pencils, and basically anything paint-esque.]]>Rickie (request for EdwardIsNotAmused) by halfdemon912urn:uuid:9a93be48-3898-612d-d806-627d33d2e93c2009-06-30T02:40:22-07:00This was done as a request for EdwardIsNotAmused ^^
So, this is her original character, Rickie. He''s a character with dog features, hence the ears and tail.
This was such a cool character to draw. I had a lot of fun doing this, especially coming up with the pose etc. I know some of the proportians are kind of screwed, but i did my best! :)
I did this completly in GIMP. please leave a comment and let me know what you think!
This picture was referenced, although i changed the colouring style from cell-shaded to something slightly more realistic. I mostly used prisma coloured pencils to do this
hope you guys like it!]]>Cola by halfdemon912urn:uuid:5be559ea-752e-ceb1-335d-037df9e209892009-05-03T05:37:29-07:00This was done as a birthday gift for my school friend. And the cute little (well, not so little) dog in this pic is Cola, her husky dog. I'll be giving it to her tomorrow, i hope she likes it!
okay, i want to apologise for my lack of artwork recently. i've been very busy, so this is my first piece in a while. This was the first picture where i used prisma coloured pencils =) they are brilliant, and so soft to work with. it took me a few trys to get a result i liked, as it took me a while to get used to their texture. however, i still used a black, hard faber castel pencil to go over the fur, and give it texture.
also, the white fur has lost its texture through scanning (stupid scanner!)in the original, there is a lot more colours running through it.
well, please let me know how you think! this would be my first proper picture of a dog, and i'm happy how it turned out =)
thanks for stopping by! favs and comments really appreciated ^-^]]>La Vie en Rose by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:79076778-ab31-b406-55ca-fecba5719dda2009-03-22T13:06:28-07:00Sorry about the terrible photo quality! This was taken with my phone.
Another Audrey Hepburn! This one is actually a commission.
I kind of did my own shading in this one. At first I followed the reference faithfully, but then later on I decided to put a little bit more 'me' in it.

He was my favorite, ever! Oh my gosh, such fond memories.
This was drawn with some weird colored pencils, since my prismacolors have been at large for several months.

well, her original request was to draw kristen squatting down, patting an animal. since kittens are my favorite, i decided to go with them. and why stop at one?? i ended up doing 4 of them =D I used GIMP to colour this, and i tried experimenting with new styles of colouring, especially for the skin and hair. please tell me what you think!
Kristen copyrighted to chichirifan92]]>Infatuate by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:951db85e-c42e-9828-ccc3-d9a97bdec8cc2009-01-22T17:14:56-08:00I am in love with Paper Mario! I like the Thousand Year Door best :D This is Koops and Vivian.
I did this at school, waiting for the finals to finish. I'm sad though, because I lost my Prismacolor pencils :( So I had to use, not crayola, but Roseart. Roseart! Even when I was in second grade, I knew that Roseart was crap. So please, excuse the poor coloring.
And, I know Koops is kinda staring at her hat instead. Humor me :P]]>Fruits basket by halfdemon912urn:uuid:266354b0-35d3-f0e9-7cfb-a3bd4aecf8e82009-01-13T18:14:15-08:00My first fruits basket fanart!!
This was refrenced from an existing picture, which i really liked. Note that this is the manga version of them, which i prefer. so they look a little different to the anime versions. I've been working on it for a while now, and i'm really happy how it turned out! it looks a little different on here, but thats coz of my low quality scanner. Completly done in colour pencils. I hope you like it, and please comment and tell me how i did =)]]>Funny Face by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:97be1eef-5d3d-3c10-3a03-b25934bc19a02009-01-11T18:12:32-08:00Drawn for my grandma :) It's all done with a regular mechanical pencil! So of course, the quality of the black parts isn't that great (the sharp lead gouged into the paper) but I'm a little surprised with how dark it can go.]]>Zhang Ziyi by StreetOfDreamsurn:uuid:92af4474-3ff1-e5d1-d34a-9de853108e232009-01-09T21:26:28-08:00Zhang Ziyi :)]]>Demon Inuyasha by halfdemon912urn:uuid:4d091954-f8cb-dd01-52b8-fe347c2dd89e2008-12-20T18:09:31-08:00This is inuyasha in his full demon form. Scary, eh?!
i started this picture a long time ago, and its been in my folder for months, all colourd excepts for the skin ( i lost all my skin tones ) then yesterday, i went to an artshop. I was really happy to find that they sold prisma colours sepretly, meaning i didnt have to fork out heaps for a set. so yeh that nite i finished it...finally! their great pencils, go down so smoothly.
the quality of this picture is a little low, but the scanner plays a major part in that. the colours are slightly off, and theres a few dark lines that arn't there on the original. but i hope will like this despite tha. I would appreciate any comments! thanks]]>Shana by halfdemon912urn:uuid:9d2d17f6-d25c-5230-ab9e-1bf5dd44775a2008-12-18T21:42:48-08:00This is the character Shana from the anime Shakugan no Shana. Since this anime doesn''t have its own catigory, i just put it in ''other''
This was intended just to be a real quick doodle. i printed of numerous pictures of different characters, and i was just gonna fill up a page of the different varieties of eyes. however, i just kept adding things to it, and then gave in and drew the whole thing :) didn''t spend too long on this one, meaning i didn''t do the whole routine of ruling up a grid, re-tracing it onta new paper, etc. i drew it free hand, so i''m happy with the result (i usualy use a grid) but anyways, please tell me what you think! thanks =)]]>Merry Christmas!

Eventually she and her younger sister, Jenny were taken in by the mentally ill Gertrude Baniszewski. Gertrude gradually abused, tortured, and ultimately murdered Sylvia.She was constantly beaten, had over 150 burns on her body, and was even branded "I'M A PROSTITUTE AND PROUD OF IT" on her stomach.
Sylvia's story is just so...shocking. I just couldn't stop thinking about it. So I guess I wanted to draw her, just to maybe get it out of my mind. I've never really done a drawing like this before.
This took about six days, maybe 30 minutes each day. I did most of it during school :P I used a mech. pencil, woodless 4B graphite, blending stump, tissue, and my fingers.
I thought that the song "Angel" by Sarah McLaughlin (sp?) was really appropriate, so it says "In the Arms of an Angel" at the bottom :) I couldn't remember if it was an</i> angel or the</i> angel. Oh well.
And, problems with this: I know that I made her look too young. God, that annoys me. The problem is that I did the nose too short. But once I get past a certain point in a drawing, I'm too scared to drastically change what I've already done. If you see any other problems, PLEASE feel free to tell me :)
And, the graphite shined in the scanner, so the darkest parts may look a little lighter than they should be. I rea lly wish that wouldn't happen, but oh well.]]>Chibi Inuyasha by halfdemon912urn:uuid:eebb49a9-6872-3a26-a841-74511c16bc242008-11-18T23:52:56-08:00This is inuyasha in chibi form ^^
This is a piece ive been working on for quite a few weeks now, and I've finally finished it!!! Thanks to a few tutorials, i've become more familier with things such as gradients and layer masks, so i was able to make this picture look better than my last ones :D
I would love it if people would comment on this peice, I want to know what people think!! tnx
