#ask to tag? i know not everyone likes to see realistic bugs or frogs but honestly this was

[gwinverarrouz]

me: well, I’ve decided that I would draw whatever my heart desires for the last part of the challenge, so. what do I want to draw

me:

me: LITTOL CRITTERS

Aah, that was so nice. I love this actually. Just pay me to paint various amphibians, crustaceans, insects and other little beasties and I will be happy I think.

(Featuring my beloved little cat as well!)

And thus concludes my “photo studies without picking colours” August challenge! I redrew the picture I did at the beginning of the month and while the difference might not be the greatest (?) I do feel more confident so, yay! Good job me you did it

I really want to go back to drawing less realistic stuff tho XD

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

When was this blog created?:January 2015, I think

Current number of followers: 1,173 right now, though my other blog which I’ve had since 2012 only has 270

When did your blog reach its peak?: Thus far it would probably have been around July-September I think, basically just after Sol 6 and around the time Science Fair first started being written

What made you decide to make a Tumblr: My mess of a fandom tumblr was purely bc everyone else at school had one and I wanted to know what all the fuss was about, this one was made bc my mum was constantly bugging me about doing more writing if I wanted to be an author and this blog was made to encourage me to actually do so rather than constantly put it off

Okay so I’m not going to tag anyone bc there’s so many different tag things here and I got tagged in them ages ago so anyone who I could think of to tag has probably already done it. So if you decided to read through all this and you though one of them was cool and you wanna do it, then you can do it and say I tagged you! Thank you to all these lovely people who tagged me <3 <3 <3
