Drawing challenges

Hey guys! Long time again from the last time I wrote here something ^^'

There have been so much things that have happened but still I feel like I don't have anything special to say. But I thought that since (btw, have you noticed how much I use the word 'since' on this blog <___<) I have a lot of drawings to publish here, this time I will keep this article more drawing related. Here are something I have drawn lately.

Click the pictures If you want to get them bigger.

This is a drawing that I have decided to draw a long time ago. I read Yotsuba&! (Kiyohiko Azuma's manga) in library couple years ago and there I found a picture like this:
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fb0ea5856a37cc912e34018f7aef7775.jpg

It was very hilarious and reminded me of my own characters

so I decided to draw it using my crazy revolutionary trio, Sokko, Bunny Joe and Handersim :)

So this is the first drawing where I have used base.

I also wanted to try some new coloring style (like always when I draw something random)

 and I shaded it with a Copic marker brush I downloaded to my Photoshop.

 I will also put this to DA later when I have introduced Handersim better. 

But to you, oh dear readers, I show this earlier to thank you for being so interested of this blog ♥

Here's something that I killed time with at my summer job. It's Musician Melody ♥ 
Not my own character, barely not anyone's character..
 It's from the card game 'Old maid'
and I always do everything to get his family!
He is gorgeous! He is lovely!! I LOVE HIM! ಠ益ಠ)

I drew this in my workplace also. I read Astrid Lindgren's book Mio, my son.
It is a good book. Mostly because there is one character I like a lot.
One day I wondered what kind of pictures there are
of  my very favorite character of the book,The King of Fareaway land
(A. k. a: My father, The King = 'Isäni Kuningas' in Finnish).
But Google image search only showed me the actor of the King
from the movie made of the book.
 I didn't like the appearance of it and decided to draw him myself to forget the one I saw.
This is my version of Astrid Lindgren's The King of Fareawayland. 

Here is my OP OC Pirate crew, Seven brothers pirates.
They are created for my doujinshi project (Not for From Vast Seas. but for upcoming Tiny Stories. They will also appear in Tocky's bonus story, Me and Past). I have taken inspiration from a significant Finnish opus, Seven brothers (Seitsemän veljestä) The Characters are not related to the characters in the book with any links.
Only common things are that they are brothers, there are seven of them
and they are all reckless wretches!

From left to right:
Sami and Krisu (cooks)
Joonas (navigator and doctor)
 Nikke (captain)
Eikka (vice-captain)
 Jaakko(sword man)
Jussi(cabin boy)
 I wanted to name them with Finnish names but I'm still not sure if it's profitable...
I'm afraid they are too strange and hard to read for you who doesn't speak Finnish D:
What you think? Should I change them? The edited names would be from left to right:
Sam and Chris, Jonas, Nicky, Ezra, Jakob and Joby.
What do you think?

 Unfortunately I still want to tell you the news of my personal boring life.

At my holiday week I had lot of hurries which kept me on my toes and away from drawing new pages to the doujinshi. 

Our mom has got that crazy idea that me and Kaura have to wash and clean our pier from all the dirt that has become burnt.

It takes forever and makes my hands hurt -_-

We have been doing it everyday, except a couple special days when we were not home. On Tuesday afternoon me and Kaura went to sleepover with our old school friends on one's summer cottage. It was pretty fancy place but there happened nothing special. We just played some card games and board games and that's it. 

On Saturday our whole family went to an agricultural exhibition. There were so much people and stalls and everything to look at, but we were there so many hours that we still had most of time for relaxing and resting in the shadow (It was very hot that day).

Everyday when Kaura and me have slept on home, we have slept on our dad's trailer that he takes home every summer. We stay up very late every time, of course. We have so much fun there. We watch movies, talk and laugh and of course we draw. We have the tradition to give 'drawing challenges' (as we call them) for each others there. Kaura tells me what I have to draw and I tell her what she has to draw and then we both draw the thing we are told. It's very funny. We usually use our OP OCs in those challenges.

I'm gonna show you some of them! Tadadaaa!
I apologize in advance that some of the texts in the drawings have been written in Finnish. I will translate them in descriptions.



Kaura told me to draw our OP OC fellows in fantasy world.
As you can see, I have drawn these extremely fast and cutting corners.
From left to right:
Beautiful nymph of water and forest, Eruna
 Will-o'-the-wisp, Kaura
 An elf warrior, Bunny Joe
 Little hobbit, Sokko.
Lovely elf princess, Jellie
 Timid troll, Tocky
Wise wizard, Handersim.

Here are our OP fellows in the film-industry.
From left to right:
 Handersim (an actor): "I wanted to be a grip..."
Bunny Joe (the camera man) "When we start shooting?"
Sokko (the director): "Smile, Handersim!"
Tocky (the catering): Who wants some coffee?"
Kuzan (the grip *lighting and rigging technical): "Need some help down there?"
Kaura (audio engineer): N- No thanks! I'm fine!"
Jellie (The producer): "We have 10 minutes left! Chop chop!"

This drawing challenge is drawn by Kaura.
I told her to draw Kuzan and Kaura dancing and it turned out to be very
challenging drawing challenge thanks to their height difference!
But she totally nailed it! XD

Kaura told me to draw these known fellows as Big Hero 6 characters~
As always, Left to right:
Handershi (Handersim as Tadashi)
Hirokko (Sokko as Hiro)
Bunnymax (Bunny Joe as Baymax)
Kuzabi (Kuzan as Wasabi)
Goura (Kaura as Gogo)
Jellie Lemon (Jellie as Honey Lemon)
Frecky (Tocky as Fred)

I told Kaura to draw these characters as Alice in Wonderland characters :3
I like this one very much <3
From left to right:
Jellie as the Red Queen
Tocky as King
Sokko as Alice
Kaura as Cheshire Cat
Bunny Joe as White Rabbit

 There's a lot of more drawing challenges we have drawn but I can't find them or I'm just too lazy to put them here... maybe next time if you still want to see more :)

Oh, and just to let you know that I'm not such a yokel who doesn't be knowledgeable about timely things: Yes, I have a Pokemon GO. :I I haven't really managed to play it because there are no pokemons where I live.... It sucks to live middle of nowhere! x'D
