Tribal Horse Poster Update

I made a post at the beginning of summer showing you a poster I was working on. I stated in the post that at the end of summer I would share a picture of the finished poster. Well, school starts (for me) in two weeks. I realize it is not the end of summer yet, then, and also that I have not finished the poster. However, I thought I would give you a sneak peak of what has been accomplished so far. Enjoy!

I hope you can tell from the photos, but if you can't, I am getting close to the end of the poster. I have a chunk of the mane to fill in at the bottom, then I have to decide whether to fill in the background or leave it white. So, there is a sneak peek of the poster I have worked on little by little all summer. I'll show you it again in two weeks!

The Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12

Sorry this post is a little late! I wanted this project to be done last Sunday, but I kept noticing details that could be added to make it a little better. This post might seem a little random, but it helped me to practice the drawing skills and techniques that I know. This includes: drawing dragon heads, adding small details to half-finished ideas, and adding shading. The idea for this design came from my Mom, when she saw me drawing dragon head designs and challenged me to draw the seven-headed dragon from Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." My initial idea looked like this: Click to enlarge. I realized that this wouldn't work, for my drawing skills at least, so I changed the design to this: Click to enlarge. I wanted a large center head that captured attention, so I worked on that next: Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge. F...

Saturday Savory: Chicksicles

I have another of Alton Brown's recipes for you today, with an odd name to accompany it. Click image to enlarge. This interesting-sounding recipe was in the grilling/broiler section of the Alton Brown cooking guide from which I am learning. The entire process of the recipe takes two days, since

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with sn...
