Description Beanies are evil.

Larger-than-life drawings are fun.


Titled The Story because the 'shuffle' button on my iPod played Brandi Carlile. I think I'll do that from now one...I hate titles.


roughly 12x24 inches, pencils, blending stubs and dry watersoluable graphitone on smooth Bristol

Wow!!! This one made my eyes pop right open. I don't know how you did her hat, it would have drove me crazy! Excellent work.

Amelia-Beth In reply to SandieBlair [2010-04-02 00:12:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it drove me quite close to the edge. You can see my attention span wavering the closer I got to the top of the drawing. But it was fun nonetheless.

Thank you so much! I kind of gave up on the beanie halfway up, but it was still lots of fun to draw!

i love this, and why are beanies evil??

Amelia-Beth In reply to YodaKittyRulesPie [2009-11-13 20:54:55 +0000 UTC]

This beanie was particularly tedious to draw--and I tend to associate tedious and difficult things with with evil. It was worth it in the end, though.

Thanks for the compliment!

I'm glad you like the hair, it was surprisingly one of the harder parts of the drawing. Thank you!

BrokenViolet In reply to Amelia-Beth [2009-10-27 16:24:27 +0000 UTC]

the hair is always hard to draw for me too, and don't worry your hard work shows up, it looks fantastic and realistic!
you're welcome dear!

Good job on the beanie and I love your soft blending with strong contrast! Gorgeous!!

I have just 1 little point of critique .. the scan-line is still showing in the middle of the drawing .. guess you scanned it in two parts because it was too big ?

Anyway, this piece is amazing

Amelia-Beth In reply to TortuousThrenody [2009-07-26 19:46:24 +0000 UTC]

3 parts, actually. I was in a hurry while scanning it and haven't found the time to go back. I will soon, though. I think this is one of my personal favorite pieces.

Thank you so much!

That's funny, cuz I always think that about your writing. That's the wonderful thing about this site, though, we all have different areas we excel. And others we will eventually excel in.

But thank you! That's unbelievably sweet.

Aww I'm glad you think so.
Yeah I've always loved art but telling a story or playing with words is my first true love so writing is my thing. Despite the fact that I'm dyslexic lol.
