How to: draw an Elf

2012-01-23T08:17:00.000-08:00

you Okay so today i am going to show you how to make a drawing of an Elf. You can use your own colors but I choose these colors because i thought they might look nice. So first you are going to sketch out your Elf, a I used light board but can use anything you like. You can just draw it or you can trace like me. You will need: Water Color Paints, some Water Color Paper and of course some brushes and a pencil.

Then take your skin color and go over all the remaining skin parts such as: Arms, Face and Stomach. Then make it slightly darker by adding a little bit of brown. Not to much or else it will turn to dark. And then just take your darker skin color and just put a small streak of it down the sides of her stomach. And then take your other brush fast an take it and kinda just blur the dark into the lighter paint. And do the same for her face and stomach.

now let's move on to her clothes. Take your purple and just go all over the skirt. And then do the same as with the skin. Take a darker color and do the streak and the water brush blur. And then do the same except with Pink.

Then for a Mesh look for her cloak just use lots of water and a little bit of paint.

Then for her hair just go over it with light brown. Then take darker brown and put dark streaks in her hair.

Then just go over the table with light brown. And the dishes blue. And do the same as the hair put darker brown streaks on the lines.

For the orb of magic I just used plain yellow. but you can use any color. The best color would probably be blue or Orange or like i used yellow.

and then the band for her head pink and BAM!! you're done!

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets review

2012-01-19T08:06:00.000-08:00

I'm back to tell you more about how i liked the second Harry Potter book. So at the end of the first book (if you have read the first one you will know what I'm talking about) Harry defeats Voltemort (who in the book they call You-Know-Who or he-that-shall-not-be-named.) once again. Last time Harry defeated Voltemort he got a remarkable scar on his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. in the second book his best friend Ron's little eleven year-old girl named Ginny almost died. so Voltemort took Ginny in to the chamber of secrets. And Ginny got almost all the life sucked out of her so that she only had a little bit of life left in her. So once Harry and Ron heard about this they were very sad. So they decided to find the chamber of secrets and so they did and they found Ginny but by the time they found Ginny it was only Harry left and that is where he defeated Voltemort a.k.a Tom Riddle.

Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban review

2012-01-19T08:05:00.000-08:00

I'm back to talk about the 3rd Harry Potter book. It wasn't my favorite but it was still good. My favorite part is when Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Lupin and Snape are inside the tree and are about to kill Peter Petigrew. and when Hermione punches Dracco (BEST THING EVER IN THE MOVIE!)
in the book it says she just slaps him but in the movie she punches him and it is AWESOME!!!!! so turns out the person that they thought killed Harry's parents is actually his Godfather. His name is Sirius Black. And their defense against dark arts teacher is a Werewolf. His name is Lupin. And Harry's dad was a shape shifter, he turns into a Stag. Sirius turns into a big black dog. Which is called the Grim in the book. If you see it you have bad luck see it twice you will loose something you love dearly and if you see it three times you die. At least that's what people think in the book.

Harry Potter And The Sorcerers Stone review

2012-01-19T07:56:00.000-08:00

Okay so the other day I started the first Harry Potter book. It was so cool. my favorite person in the book is Ginny Weasly, because she is the smallest just like me. Ron Weasly is my second favorite. and then Hagrid is. because he is the Hogwarts game keeper and is Ron, Hermione and Harry's best friend. and then it's Albus Dumbledore, because he is the head master of Hogwarts the school for witchcraft and wizardry. and then it's Harry Potter, because of his lighting scar. and then Hermione, because she is the best in school. and then Fred and George Weasly, because they destroy everything. and then it's Nevil, because he kept on losing his toad. my favorite part is when Harry finds the mirror and See's his family. or when he's on the train (Hogwarts Express) to go to Hogwarts.

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire review

2012-01-13T11:03:00.000-08:00

So in this blog post I am going to talk about the fourth Harry Potter Book "The Goblet Of Fire". This one is my personal favorite because of all the suspense, it keeps you turning the pages. It doesn't seem so at first, but trust me later on it gets intense. so insted of Quidditch they have the Triwizard Tornament and there are three diffrent schools and each of the studants above the age of seventeen enters they're name name into the Goblet Of Fire and there are three tasks and three champions (the peoples names that come out of the goblet). so there is one person from each school. from Beauxbatons there is Fleur Delacour. and for Durmstrang there is Victor Krum. And for Hogwarts there is Cedric Diggory. And then here's a suprize, there is a fourth champion, can you guess who it is? Harry Potter. so the first task is dragons they have to find out a way to deffet the dragon to get the golden egg that it's gaurding. And so he decides to do a summoning charm on his firebolt (broomstick) and fly around the dragons head and get the egg. He escpes with only an cut on his shoulder. then there is a clue in the egg and if you open it it make screeching noises and Harry soon gets told to take it under water and it sings to him and turns out it took Ron his best friend to the bottom of the lake where the mer-people live and Harry uses Gilly Weed so that he can breath under water saves Ron and Fleurs little sister. And the third task is a giant maze on the Quidditch feild and in the middle is the Triwizrd cup and there are a whole buch of magical creatchers on the way to the middle. And he and Cedric meet up in the middle and Harry gets bitten on the leg by a GIANT spider and cedric decides to help Harry to the cup and turns out it's a portkey to a grave yard where Voldermort rises again and kills Cedric with the help of his loyal Death Eater WormTail (Death Eaters are sevants to Voldermort) and he trys to kill Harry but fails and now there is a single golden thread connecting the two wands and first Cedric comes out of the tip of Voldermorts wand (ghost like figure of Cedric) then an old man then Bertha Jorkins (a girl from the ministry of magic that he killed) then Harrys parents. And Harry escapes with Cedrics body and and tells Dumbledore everything. the end

Mermaid Soft Pastels

2012-01-12T09:09:00.000-08:00

These are the things you will need:

Soft Pastels

Dry Rough Brushes

Sketching Pencils

Eraser

and Paper

sketch out your mermaid, I used a light board to trace.

And then just take your purple pastel or any color you like i chose purple though and just color the entire tail.

And then take your dry paintbrush and just go over the whole tail with it.

now we will move on to the sun. Just like the tail color a half circle and fill it in with the yellow.

Then take your dry paintbrush and go over the yellow.

And then move on to the rock. Go over all the lines with black first.

Take your dry brush and go over all the lines you don't want to fill in the rock just blur the lines.

Now take the blue and make blue waves for the ocean.

And then do the same thing as you did with the rock and blur the lines with your dry brush.

and then take the skin color and color her face arms and stomach. and then take the dry brush and go over all the skin color.

And then take orange and yellow and add them together on both bottom sides of the sun.

Blur it with your brush and move on to the next step. Ad red and orange.

Then blur that.

And then fill in the rest with red.

And blur that.

color most of the hair with brown

Blur it then put stripes of black in it.

color her eyes. (any color you like.)

Then her lips.

And you're done!

My Vacation! (& Lots of Boredom Busters!)

2011-09-13T13:45:00.000-07:00

My mom had a friend she knew from online for a long long time, so we went to TX to meet her.

This is me on vacation at Laura's house. This vacation was defiantly one of the most exciting things I have ever done. She have two sons Nicholas and Christopher (Christopher is defiantly the most hyper boy I have ever met!)

One night, Laura was eating a quesadilla and the cheese was really drippy and she started making it look like it was coming out her nose. It was really funny.

One day we went to Ikea, which is my sister's favorite store in the whole world, so she wanted to stay there forever. Really she only stayed for four and a half hours. LC and I got tired of being there, so we went to another store that was more fun.

On another day, my mom drew on me with Sharpie. It was sweet!

One night was FINGER FOOD NIGHT!! We had to use only our fingers to eat Jello, mashed potatoes, baked beans and corn. It was SO much fun! I want to do it again soon.

LC gave us Spaghettio Slurpies!!!

I got to meet Rebecca and Melissa's kitty cat!

One night we put tape over our mouths and it wasn't just cause we were bored the grown ups were starting to twitch. So then they made us go outside and play tag freeze tag.

and there it is.

and then after we got bored of freeze tag we colored with chalk it was fun...

It was a really fun trip. The only bad part was that our car broke down on our way home. But then we got to stay in a hotel and go swimming and our dad came and got us in a U Haul. He doesn't like to be away from Mom very much so he hurried!
