Ninjago

When I got back from camp I had a really nasty virus that knocked me out for a week. During this time i had a lot of time on my hands where I was too weak to write, so i ended up watching a significant amount more of T.V. than I normally do. But since I was stuck on the couch i had to watch shows that my youngest sister Carrie could watch too. One of the shows i got into was Lego's Ninjago. The second i got better I decided to try and draw them as humans. It was difficult because Lego's all have the same body type, whereas humans can vary. I had a lot of fun with drawing their armor. Some of them had as many as three layers of clothing, and i think that this gave me a lot of experience for future drawings. The only thing that disappointed me was how Zane turned out. I think i could do him better if i tried again.
Anyways, if you've seen the show please comment you're favorite ninja! I personally love Zane best, and I switch Cole, Llyod, and Jay as my second depending on the season.

The Huntress

This was one of those drawings where you draw it and then you just keep adding to it over and over again until you're not sure if it got better or worse. I have a lot of those drawings.

Sir. William

This may not be one of my best drawings, but i am proud of it because i didn't do any planning for it. I was just at the pool with a sketchpad and said "i'm going to draw a knight." and poof! I normally pre-plan all my drawings and have reference photos and stuff but this was entirely from my imagination!
