Slenderman Funny Comic 2: Slender, Ender, and Voldy
Here is the second picture I made of Minecraft's Enderman, Slenderman, and Harry Potter's Voldemort.
Slenderman Funny Comic
So, Slenderman is this monster based off of a German tale. He is really pale with no real facial features, he wears a business suit, has really long arms that he can change the length of at will, and tentacles. He lurks in the shadows and does not make any noise. He has been found (in the story, not in real life) with dead children in trees (ew, I know!). Some believe that since we have never seen him killing anyone (actually we have never seen him at all, but still), he may be protecting us from a greater evil. He is said to be linked to trees somehow. I dunno.
So, because I hate scary things, I giggled at the ghostly and made fun of him with my friends last night! This is the comic that arose from all the jokes (created using Google Docs Drawing document):

Ukulele Chord Charts
Thinking of learning to play the ukulele? Here are the uke chords! These are not in any way property of the Art Drawer, but they are very helpful for those obscure chords you have no idea how to play! :D

If you have double-sided printing, you can print it on one sheet of paper and it is amazingly helpful!!!
I hope this helps!

Piano
I have started playing piano again after 2 or 3 years! I am having my dad reteach me. My first song right now is a 'Level Two' of Fur Elise. :) It is a lot of fun! But I still get the low A and low E confused! I am gonna get it soon, though! I can't wait to get better at piano because it offers a wider range, I guess? And just a different technique than guitar/ukulele. :D
Speaking of ukes, I really want to bring my ukulele to school for general music class, but I love it too much to let it be in any risk!!! I wish I could get a pocket ukulele, but the reviews don't sound too good and they are really expensive, so that doesn't sound like a very good option. Here is the review I read on it: Pocket Ukulele Review from UkuleleHunt.com If you are a musician or person with common sense, what do you think about it? Or especially if you have one, what do you think about yours?

Anniversary bust
Ugh. So neither of us did anything. But that doesn't mean we don't care. Now, before you click off of this because you think it is gonna turn into one of those sappy posts, don't. I just want to say, I LOVE YOU!
You ever have one of those amazing ideas and it is kind of an Ah HA! moment? Well, I had one 9 days ago. I thought, hey! I will write and film some anniversary stuff! But then I didn't. School, and homework, and crocheting. But these are not excuses. I just can't think of ANYTHING! Maybe Searching for the Art Drawer II will have something to do with the anniversary? (<-- I just had and Ah HA! moment there!) But I dunno. SO! Before you unfollow or decide we are boring cause we forgot about our own anniversary and haven't posted in 9 days, remember that a lot of my Art Drawer time is going to be spent writing the script for SFTAD II, and unless you don't want to see the sequel, cut me some slack!!! ;)
So this was basically an apology post... ugh, I AM boring!

Crocheting and Knitting *UPDATED AND CHANGED!*
I am updating this post, because I felt it was wrong! I LOVE to crochet! I made myself a cell phone holder, I have made a few bags, I made a crocheted crochet hook case! It is a lot of fun! I may post a how to crochet tutorial sometime soon. Also, I am going to post a very basic How to Loom Knit tutorial! I noticed all of my loom knitting tutorials were assuming you already knew how to loom knit! I think I will try and make a video for that, because I actually can only use visual things for instructions... I don't know WHY I write my tutorials with no pictures...
Do you crochet or loom knit? Or needle knit? I find that pretty hard right now. Maybe with more practice I will get it! :D

My Writing Process
So I am in the middle of the script for the 'documentary' of Searching for the Art Drawer II. No spoilers here, I'm afraid, though I do think I know where it is going.
The point of this post is that my writing process is weird. I come up with the title, then I write a list of the characters. Then I picture a scene somewhere in it. Then I write a little bit of the beginning. Then I write an outline and usually change the beginning. Then I continue writing the script until I have an awesome idea and change the beginning again, or some other part. I usually end up deleting a character and/or adding a new one. Then, when I am about to finish, I get all happy and write a flimsy end that I change RIGHT WHEN I FILM IT. In Searching for the Art Drawer I, at the end, I was going to have CB read the Nerds' note and say something like, 'The Nerds!' but instead, while I was filming, I decided to end it with 'I must rendezvous with... someone.' And I, personally, liked that better! I am sure glad I did it, too, because of the sequel/prequel (no spoilers, see?). If I hadn't, it would end without a cliffhanger, and that never works for MY sequels! :D
So that is a little bit of the months ahead for me! Right now, I am on the 'write an outline and change the beginning.' I am not totally done with the outline yet, though. I can say that Sweepy will probably return! ;D That wasn't a spoiler because I am unsure.

How to make Pajama Shorts!! :D
Hey guys! I went to the store today and saw this cute fluffy fabric, and it made me think of pajamas. We bought the fabric and I put together a tutorial for you, about how to make PJ shorts! :D **Editors note: I said in one of the videos that you don't have to make the shorts two layers... I take it back!! Make the shorts have two layers!
Materials:
-Fluffy, soft, or cute fabric of your choice
-Fabric Chalk
-Scissors
-Shorts or shorts pattern (You can get shorts cheap at a thrift store)
-Ribbon (optional)
-Sewing machine (recommended) or Needle and thread
Step One:
Video: http://mailvu.com/msg/i7aaf261882b240f895ba8c1424cc544f
Written instructions: Get a pair of shorts and cut ONE of the sides of the shorts. Then cut the part of the shorts that goes in between your legs. Iron the shorts, so they are flat and easier to work with.
Step Two:
Video: http://mailvu.com/msg/iece9c0c3042449f190de7846f55c92f2
Written instructions: Place the shorts on the fabric you're going to use and trace the shorts with fabric chalk, or bar soap. Cut along the line.
Step Three:
Video: http://mailvu.com/msg/ie3aaaf53c0824a9b9eb69bde41dc7ec2
Written instructions: Flip over both pieces of fabric, so that you see the underside of your fabric. Stack both pieces of fabric on top of each other, and then sew both pieces together on every side except the two sides if you lay the fabric horizontally.
Step Four:
Video: http://mailvu.com/msg/i97dbdc75d6d943c492974b60b9e2b85c
Written instructions: Flip the fabric right side out... That's all you really have to do for this step so watching the video is completely pointless.. :I (and find ribbon that you like ;) )
Step Five:
Video: http://mailvu.com/msg/if917f695472941faaf0349324b7cb42f
Written instructions: Measure how long your shorts are with a tape measure or ruler. Then take that length and measure X amount of inches on your ribbon. Add an extra 2 feet or so. Once you cut your ribbon, fold the ends over about a centimeter and sew a seam, so the ends don't fray. Next measure how tall your ribbon is and put that measurement on the top of the shorts sew a line that is as tall as your ribbon down the top of the shorts. Then sew the two sides together and sew the part that goes in between the legs to the rest of the shorts. (PS its easier to understand if you watch the video)
Step Six:
Video: http://mailvu.com/msg/i090734fe8bc54a87b73236b456ced077
Written instructions: Cut two slits about in inch apart on the front of the shorts. Then where the seam was, cut a slit in front, and on the other side of it to make it so you can thread the ribbon through.
Step Seven:
Materials:
-Fluffy, soft, or cute fabric of your choice
-Fabric Chalk
-Scissors
-Shorts or shorts pattern (You can get shorts cheap at a thrift store)
-Ribbon (optional)
-Sewing machine (recommended) or Needle and thread

Written instructions: Cut two slits about in inch apart on the front of the shorts. Then where the seam was, cut a slit in front, and on the other side of it to make it so you can thread the ribbon through.
Written instructions: Attach a safety in to one of the sides of the ribbon, and put it through on of the slit in the front. Then when you get to the seam, make it go out the first slit and back in through the other. To move the ribbon through bunch up some fabric in one hand and with the same hand grab the safety pin through the fabric and with the other hand pull the fabric so it un-bunches. As it un-bunches it will also have pulled the ribbon through. When you get back to one of the other slits, pull it through the slit, then take the safety pin off. Make the ribbon even and you have successfully made a pair of PJ shorts!! They also make wonderful gifts!
Keep it Nurby! ~RK
