Matasoga Very cute. Were I to be a two-dimensional dragon trapped in a science book, I would want it to be your's. It probably seems a strange and trivial thing to you, but I would think it an interesting thing to have such an array of avian wildlife. Trivial? I love walking through the rainforest areas on some of the mountains around here and watching the birds. They're beautiful. And thinking about it, being a two-dimensional dragon in my science book wouldn't be such a great life. I'll probably never open it to that page again.

Well I know that you hate some birds, like the ibis, and that time that pelican stole someone's lunch...I find figured that would make it easier for you to at least forget the fact that such birds are quite an oddity to some. Oh, I thought you drew the dragon on the front of your book. I didn't know it was actually inside the book.

But pelicans are beautiful, and the lorikeets we get around here can draw me to distraction sometimes with how pretty they are. Nope, that's in the middle somewhere. I would have drawn it on my binder, but there's no space anymore. I love my Sharpies too much for there to be any.

This one, I drew the wing first, then couldn't figure out what I wanted to attach it too. I ended up just drawing a kind of...blob. So, help me out, and suggest a name for the blob.

Something I drew in science class today, out of boredom.

Something about the idea of a friendly, sentient flying blob (which I gathered from you and my own assumptions makes me happy...Given that, I can't resist offering the name "Bob the Blob."
The second one is kind or surprising, given your fear of spiders.

The second one is kind or surprising, given your fear of spiders. Heh, the very same name came to me at first, which is exactly why I asked for name suggestions. And yes, I managed to suppress that long enough to draw this, mainly because it has meaning elsewhere. However, something about being directly under the glass-eyed gaze of a stuffed koala might have made spiders temporarily less scary.

Some little people-drawings of mine from a while back. Josh Ramsay:  Mikey Way:  Patrick Stump:  Some random little creature whose reason for existing escapes me:  A random pixie-boy, because they make me smile...?  And an elephant I drew. This one is two scans joined together in Paint, so it's not so great.

The elephant reminds me of...Was it Dali that did that one painting of that dreamscape that had the nude woman in the foreground and the elephants whose legs tapered off into being impossibly long? I can't remember if that was him or not. Your best would probably be the elephant though. Good job. ^..^

A torn, tattered wing I drew after waking up at 6:30...for what turned out to be no reason at all. I changed my mind on it halfway through, so it's a little strange.

Personally, I think it would be magnificently awesome to see this being extended into a full drawing of some kind of ghoulish fairy. Pixies, by their very nature, are not frightening in the least, but imagine a cloud of them who are have the resilience of undead and the frenzy of ghoulish hunger...It might strip a cow to the bone in minutes. I think a close up of one would be pretty amazingly cool...Though on it's own it's still interesting, as well. ^..^

I was thinking about extending it into something, but the page it's on is far too small, and the wing is too close to the edge for me to do anything with. I might transfer it onto another sheet or something later, but for now, that's it.

Torzeh I was thinking about extending it into something, but the page it's on is far too small, and the wing is too close to the edge for me to do anything with. I might transfer it onto another sheet or something later, but for now, that's it. There are still plenty of options. You can tape other sheets together. If you're very precise it can work, though it will reek hell on the quality of any shading you do. You could use a copy machine to scale it down and trace it onto larger paper, using a light box. It you don't have a light box, no worries. Just hold the paper up to a window during the day and use that as a light source. If you prefer drawing by night, that still isn't a problem. I used to use a laptop screen for that very purpose. You will need to redo the shading and I recommend doing that without the light behind it, as it would only confuse you. I highly recommend using a human model when doing this, preferably a very thin one, as fairies are known to be very thin so that such small, insectile wings are able to bear them aloft. My work is always much better when I use a model, so it's advise that may not be convenient, but will surely be worth heeding. Any photo or yourself should do just fine...Provided that the fairy in the picture is also female, of course. Happy drawing.

I'll try to find a model, too, because I know they help.
