Ever since I’ve started watching instructional YouTube videos on how to draw manga/anime characters, I began to see my art skills getting a bit better.

I watched this video, and instantly, my ability to draw clothes and their folds increased! The YouTuber that made this video, mikeymegamega, is an amazing artist and YouTuber. Go subscribe!

Here are some of the pictures I drew after that, collected in my binder, terraart. (new post coming on that later 😉)

The first picture I’m posting is of a girl named Celecira (Cira) Diler, from one of the many stories I wrote when I was as little younger. Unfortunately, the colors are a bit awkward because I’m using color pencils… color pencils suck! 😤

Please leave the comments in this format:

[(OPTIONAL:) ways to improve]

I left an example in the comments below, so even if you don’t understand what I put up there, you will have a better chance of understanding after you read what I put.

The next picture I would like to post is a black and white picture, of a girl that has no name. It’s really hard to draw in black and white, in my opinion, because it’s super annoying to erase the guidelines and keep the nice lines when I’m ready to shade.

Shading in pencil is easier than coloring with colored pencils, again, in my opinion, because it’s less flaky on paper and can actually produce a nice, bold block of color if you use it correctly.

(Caution: If you are James, Karen, or mars, STOP READING!!!)

The next picture is actually from a story that I’m in writing at the moment. I’m going to publish it to my family soon, so shhhhhh! Don’t tell them! I just showed them the pictures, I didn’t tell them where they were from. The most I’ve ever done was tell Mars, “it’s from a story I’m going to publish to our household, but I’M NOT TELLING YOU ANY MORE THAN THAT!!!”, so I think we’re still safe.

The person down below should look 20 something (I’m very inefficient for things like that, so I hope I did it correctly). Her name is Celeste, and she is a celestial being. I had to draw out all the characters for the story before progressing on, so I can actually keep going back to the picture and see what they look like before going to the story to attempt a detailed description.

⬇️ ⬇️

Again, colored pencils are the worst things to color with, second to crayons, so please excuse all the flakyness.

At this point you’re thinking, “hey, terra’s art is great and all, but… what about the guys? Does she only draw girls?”

That’s pretty much what I’ve been thinking to myself the past month. I concluded that out of all the pictures I drew last year, only about 2% featured a boy as the person I was drawing. Taking this into consideration, I decided to try drawing another one. Please leave comments below on whether or not I succeeded, and if he looks like a boy.

This is another character from the story I’m writing. His name is Ravius, and he’s a raven-based being. Try to direct your attention somewhere other than the yucky colored pencil marks.

⬇️ ⬇️

Anyway, that’s pretty much all that I’m going to post today, and if I make any more of these drawings, I’ll definitely put those on a new blog.

I didn’t post any of my buni-as-a-human drawings, unfortunately. (Yes, even though this is 2 years later than my last post, I still have buniz…)

If you have any recommendations for me to draw, feel free to post them in the comments section below.

Until next time!

I like using the camera now. No more weird pictures LOL, but now we have made 2 new things. We (me and Eli) made a roller coaster on the steps of our home and have made roller coasters on the camera, like recording them and watching, giggling, et cetera. ONE DAY WHEN I GROW UP I WILL MAKE MY OWN DIMENSION!!! Okay, that is just wrong. Maybe I went a little too far that time 🙂 heh heh heh heh et cetera again. Maybe my daddy already did this, but, if you watched it, do you hear yanny or laurel?!

[i hear laurel]

Now I have lots of bunnies

but I’m 10 🙁

okay, bunnies have nothing to do with yanny and laurel. Do you hear yanny?! Do you hear laurel?! Do you hear BOTH?! [squee!]

The bunnies hear them, too! [of course, they are stuffed animals] Hera hears yanny, Zeus hears both, Sydna hears laurel, Cunsetta hears both, Cristile hears yanny, Maia hears yanny, Branch hears yanny, Moana hears laurel, and Molduga hears laurel, and that is all, folks. On May fourth, my daddy made me watch star wars because it was star wars day (may the force be with you = May the fourth be with you). And I couldn’t wait!!! I just HAD to shwa-yah. (sorry. it’s chinese) my brother said, “noo-OOO-ooo?!” heh heh heh et cetera. I jumped into the couch and loved it sooo much I couldn’t stand it when my daddy said, “alright, let’s stop there.” It sounds like James, right? Okay, Eli and I said in perfect unison, “noo-OOO-ooo?!” Daddy said, “we will continue tomorrow,” and we did! [my favorite part, Duel of the Fates, was in episode 1) Daddy said that episode 2 was too violent so we skipped to episode 4 and after that we watched clone wars.

All of it was sooo interesting!!!

Have you heard about the 4th grade spelling bee? No? Okay, let’s say… the contestants were Ethan, Oliver, Katia, Brandon, Aniyah, Ariana, Hudson, et cetera. Katia was the first to get out, she missed on a 3rd grade word, lizard, she spelled it lizzard. Next, it was Brandon that was out, than Ethan, Oliver, Hudson, Ariana, and I was head-to-head with Aniyah!!! She was the school champion. So when she missed on an 9th grade word, everyone was, like, OMG! How does out champion get out?! And BAM!!! I got a gold medal, and competed with a 5th grader, and went to the extra words list, although I missed on ‘squalid’.

Rumors in my lifetime

Pancake in girl’s toilet. Someone fished it out. 😉
Booger in right water fountain.
Okay, that’s just wrong. But it’s true! 😀

Okay, let’s see, you’ve seen my first block, but I’ll make more!

😮 😮 😮

“We are the poorest family on Crasmperry Street,” Molduga said to her daughters, Sydna and Maia. “We only have infinity dollars!”
“Infinity?” Maia asked, wrangling her bunny paws.
“How much is infinity?” Molduga shook her head, her ears swinging side to side as she put her paws on her hips.
“Below zero,” she answered stiffly. Sydna walked out the door, her bunny feet softly tapping the stone floor. “I’m going outside to see if there are any Golems I can purchase.”
Molduga shook her head again. “Sydna never learns,” she said, frowning. “Golems are expensive! How dumb can she be?” She sighed.

Sydna walked into a bedrock shop.
“Welcome! My name is Rara, and you are going to go bowling! Woohoo! Bowling!”
Sydna made a face. “Wrong house,” she muttered to herself.

She went in another house, made of pure cobblestone.
“Welcome, I’m Ira, and today, you are going to purchase the best Golems in the universe!” Ira greeted. “One diamond golem for 400 rupees, and one iron golem for 200 rupees!” She took a breath. “Buy one! Please!”
Sydna laughed, “I’ll take the diamond golem.” The diamond golem got up and followed Sydna home.

Molduga looked at her beautiful daughter. “Maia, don’t make the decision to buy a golem, please,” she pleaded.
“Sorry, mother, but, I need one for protection,” Maia replied.
Molduga glared at Maia. “You have me to protect you,” she pointed out. “They are too expensive, anyway.”
Maia marched to the door, right when Sydna bursted in with a huge diamond golem following her. Bam! The sisters smacked into each other and fell to the floor. The diamond golem tried to attack Maia, but Sydna raised a sky blue paw to stop it. “Diamond Golem, this is my sister, Maia. Maia, this is my Diamond Golem.”
Maia rubbed her head. “I was going to go to the store to get a golem, Sydna, but you got in my way!”
Sydna ignored her and plopped down on the soft couch to watch Star Wars episode 6. The Diamond Golem sat down next to her. Maia marched out the door.

As Diamond Golem was watching Sydna’s favorite scene, Sydna got up and asked Molduga for some Golem ice cream and bunny bread. Diamond Golem licked it once, and loved it so much that she ate the rest. As Diamond Golem licked herself, Maia bursted in with an iron golem behind her. The iron golem looked at Sydna, and decided that she was innocent. That’s when Molduga walked in and screamed. “Sydna and Maia! WHAT is that?!”
Sydna calmly got up and brushed the crumbs of bread off her pearly fur. She used the Force to push Molduga out of the room.
“Sydna!” Molduga shouted, “Better start packing! We are going to Marmade Island for vacation!” Maia and Sydna looked at each other for a second. “Yay!” They shouted in unison. The bunnies packed.

For dinner, they had soup full of mosquitos, flies, and mushroom, all mushed together. “Eww, what’s this?” Maia, who was very picky, gagged.
“Picon soup,” Molduga explained, “made of fresh squeezed oranges with pulp.” Sydna forced herself to gulp a portion of it. It was as nasty as it looked.
“Do you like it?” Molduga asked. Sydna whimpered but didn’t answer. She forced herself to gulp down another portion. Maia took another sip of the nasty soup, then got up to pack. “Come on,” she said, “We need some sleep.”

Early in the morning the next day, Diamond Golem was clanking on a cup. “Quick!” Maia said, “We can catch the plane if we hurry!” Maia has always been optimistic. The plane flies at 9:00 a.m., and it was already 8:50 a.m. It would take at least 50 minutes to reach the airport, so the bunnies and golems rushed there just in time to grab on to a piece of rope dangling from the plane. The plane took off.

Sydna was slipping from the rope, and so were everyone else except the golems because of their ability to fly. Sydna and the others fell into the ocean.

Maia couldn’t breathe. It had been 20 minutes since they’ve fallen to the bottom of the ocean, and she really needed some air. Maia felt like her lungs were exploding, but Maia knew she was dead. She looked over at Sydna… and blacked out.
