Sketchbook Complete!

Hey, I finished my sketchbook on Sunday!
I seem to have improved quite a bit since the last sketchbook. I've been working on this book since 2017. It takes me a while to fill them XD
As I've done before, I thought I'd post my favorite drawings from this sketchbook. I have a lot of favorites this time!
These are all in colored pencil (with a touch of pen on a couple of them)

(description comes after the picture)

This is the first page in the sketchbook

I wanted to recreate that haunting scene form How to Train your Dragon. Toothless!


This is the rose hip fairy! It's from a book series I loved as a kid - flower fairies. I tried to redraw one of them. It turned out good! I'm going to redraw one more of them - my favorite, the willow fairy.

(Coco spoilers)
I was in the middle of this sketchbook when Coco came out. So there's several pages in a row of skeletons.
And despite how crazy Hector is to draw, most of my drawings of him turned out pretty good!

Here's my idea behind this piece. Hector died and was alone in the land of the dead for about 50 years. Then Imelda died. And I imagine at that point, Hector met Imelda and discovered that his family hated him and wouldn't even speak of him. Not only did he die and never get to see his daughter again, but his family has thrown him out.
This scene is right after that. And (in my head) this is when he broke his leg. He was so upset that he stepped wrong and got in an accident. Of course, the broken leg doesn't hurt nearly as much as a broken heart.


Every now and then, I draw Fern with some of her friends (she travels to different worlds to meet people and basically interfere in movies and stuff XD It's fun). Hector and Fern are both excited about their beautiful shoes. Fern usually goes barefoot, to make shape-shifting easier. But she makes an exception for the beautiful boots the Riveras made for her as a thank-you gift. (And of course Hector got shoes when he was accepted back into the family. You can see them at the end of the movie. Shoes hold the family together! )


Back to another sad one.
At the end of the movie, Miguel leaves the land of the dead and runs home to try to save Hector. But there's a chunk of time there where Hector must be slowly dying, and no one knows if he'll disappear or not. Imelda would of course be by his side. They've only just gotten each other back! She doesn't want to lose him again.


There's a cute scene of Hector and Imelda at the end of the movie. I redrew that scene here, with the two of them alive.


Here's one I drew a few days ago.
This is sort of a crossover between Undertale and Coco.
In Undertale, Papyrus has this line: "Don't cry because I won't kiss you. Because I don't have lips." But Hector and Imelda do kiss at the end of Coco! So I had to draw this.


And I had to design my own alebrije.

Okay, moving on.
These last ones are from my stories.

I like this one of Shanka leaning against a gate.


And we have Ajonse and Asani.


This is a creature I made up. I need to put them into a future story.
At the zoo, I've heard many people call the snow leopards "snow tigers." I've been wanting for a while to draw a snow tiger. So here it is! It's a cross between an amur tiger, polar bear, and snow leopard.


And finally the picture of Huyana
