The blog post today will be a little different than my others. This is because this post is the last one I am writing before I go to college. It will probably also be my only post before Christmas, because I don't think I will have time to write posts while I am at college. I do not think this will be my last post on this blog; however, there is a certainty that I will be writing fewer posts over longer periods of time. All that being said, I hope you enjoy this post fully and won't mind a little bit of a wait for the next one!

| Original, inspired by another water dragon shown below. |
Today, I have for you a variety of drawings I have made over the last few weeks, such as the one above. I recently got inspired to draw more (maybe because I am heading to college soon for a design major), so I have been trying to enhance what little bit I do know about drawings skills such as shading and color matching. I drew anything and everything that came to mind, which meant quite a few dragons, since they are my favorite to draw. Some of the designs are my originals, while others will be something I copied free-hand off the internet (meaning, I looked at a drawing and then drew it myself), or a little bit of both. I will mark in the photo caption whether it is original or a copy. As always, don't forget to click the images to enlarge them, and enjoy!

| This is a mandala that I printed out and colored in. |
 |
| Another mandala I printed and colored. |
This next sketch is an attempt to have a dragon hanging onto a branch. It ended up rather unique when I tried to make the face and put the teeth in. Oh well.
 |
| Original by me.⤴ |
 |
| Google image copied freehand.⤴ |
 |
| I believe this to be a Google image I copied freehand. This is actually a remake of an old drawing I did a while back.⤴ |
 |
| Original, inspired by the PCC Graphic Design page video showing them sketching pyramids.⤴ |
 |
| Original. I thought I would try making a portion of a mandala.⤴ |
 |
| Original.Another mandala I made.⤴ |
 |
| A picture of a full page of drawings, some original and some freehand copies. |
 |
| Original, but inspired and helped look 3D by online pictures. Particularly I like the spikes in this one.⤴ |
In this next one, the drawing on the right was an online tutorial on how to draw a dragon with an open mouth, which I followed freehand (seen below). The drawing on the left was me converting the open-mouthed dragon into my own original close-mouthed dragon.
 |
| Left, original. Right, copied from tutorial.⤴ |
 |
| The horses were freehand copies off the internet, while the dragon head was my original.⤴ |
 |
| Another freehand copy off the internet.⤴ |
The horse drawing above inspired the next dragon picture below. It is an original design, but I tried to copy the stance and head placement of the horse. It took a while for me to declare done, maybe an hour of work drawing and coloring overall.
 |
| Original, inspired by above horse.⤴ |
 |
| I freehand copied the llama, which August then said looked like llama Kuzco from Emperor's New Groove, so I added a crown.⤴ |
 |
| A freehand copy of a Spiderman logo August liked.⤴ |
 |
| Original. I tried to make a flying dragon, but this is what I got.⤴ |
 |
| Some "tribal" sea turtle drawings. Original.⤴ |
 |
| Original. A tortoise, because my brother loves turtles. I didn't mean to make him look angry 😄⤴ |
 |
| A plesiosaurus, or water dinosaur, I freehand copied per Mom's request. I added the whale tale for a unique touch. |
When I drew the dinosaur above, it was a freehand copy, and Mom wanted an original. So, I drew a different one, which is the first photo of the post. I added some landscaping to that one, which included seaweed. I had to look up realistic pictures of seaweed to know what to draw, but the plant I drew is completely original, not a copy of a seaweed off the internet.
 |
| Original.⤴ |
The next photo might be funny for anyone who has watched the "Franklin" TV show. I tried to freehand copy a picture of Franklin off of Google, but I think I accidentally age-progressed him to about 90 years old.
 |
| Freehand copied from Google, accidentally age-progressed. Also, a pizza slice.⤴ |
 |
| A sketch of a wolf howling statue Mom wanted me to try. Original.⤴ |
 |
| Inspired by multiple drawings, but original.⤴ |
 |
| I was trying to do crocodile teeth, but it ended up just looking normal. Original.⤴ |
 |
| Freehand copied from Google. This is Smaug's eye from the Hobbit movie. I wanted to blend some colors so I chose this.⤴ |
 |
| Freehand copied from Google. I have always wanted to draw a rose blooming, so I copied freehand a picture off Google. ⤴ |
 |
Mom loves Winnie the Pooh, so I tried drawing him and some friends. The first Winnie the Pooh
head was a little skinny so I re-did him on the right. ⤴ |
