Which LOS/ATOM character is your least favorite to draw?

Which one is your favorite to draw?

Yes that’s two questions i’m sorry ;0;

My least favorite to draw HAS to be Froggy. I cannot get his frog head right for the LIFE OF ME! (Maybe I’d be better at drawing him if I could draw amphibians. What’s an amphibian furry? A scaly? I think so yeah.) I think I just need some more practice. But I like drawing him in his human form for Rin haha.

My favorite to draw is Xanthous. It’s just because I could probably get out a Xanthous sketch in a minute flat. I’ve drawn him one too many times and now I know exactly how to do it. I have also mastered how to shade and do the yellows and rim stuff with gold by using brown as the shadows and other fire techniques which is always so difficult hhhhh. But yeah! Xanthous hands down. He’s way too fun. Way way way too easy too now.

Also, a little extra tidbit for ya—my favorite character to draw used to be Rosette! I love drawing her and making her so fun and lovable is the best! She has such a bright smile and her rosy cheeks are super fun. I miss drawing her all the time. I got my hands on a sparkly red pen once—I wish I had that drawing so you could see how much of her was ✨sparkly✨. But unfortunately I don’t. Rip all the old art I don’t have anymore…

Day 30/100 #the100dayproject I didn’t have a lot of time today because I had old friends to visit, a lunch date out with my husband, and sunshine to soak in before the rains start again. So I indulged in a little of my old #scrapbooking to display some of the #middlegradebooks I’ve been studying, enjoying, and often getting lost in. I’m looking forward to continuing all these series. So many talented #writers here. I’ve learned so much. #illustratedlifejournal #thechroniclesofneverafter #melissadelacruz #thewinterhousemysteries #benguterson #thelandofstories #chriscolfer #thejumbies #traceybaptiste #studyingmiddlegradebooks #twistedfairytales #folktales #mythology #middlegradefantasy #middlegrademystery https://www.instagram.com/p/CqMlP0ZAcYp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last year has been amazing, let me remind you that Chris told us we mean the world to him! ❤️

So I hope you will take participate in this year's project, I couldn't be more grateful for each and everyone of you participating!

As usual, I don't do this to get attention, and you know you are all free to make him your birthday wishes, but I love the idea of showing him how much he brings people together. That's why, in addition to all your individual tweets, I hope you'll want to join me in this project, to let him have a video full of love and positive thoughts from many different people.

Here the 2 parts that will compose the video, please submit BOTH of them!

----------

PART 1: I want you to choose a WORD that defines what his books mean to you.

i. e. "your books mean magic to me" "your books make me happy" "your books inspire me". Be creative, think of everything positive his books make you feel!

You can send a video OR a picture.

VIDEO: Film a video where you tell one short sentence including the word about his books you chose. If you are camera shy, you can talk without showing your face! Please put his books in the background or hold them!

Max lenght 10 seconds.

I’d just like to say, once and for all, that Chris Colfer is the single greatest human being on this earth and deserves endless love and support. Not only is he hilarious and talented in both writing and acting but he is also a huge inspiration to everyone who has dealt with bullying and self doubt. He’s actual best, you could argue with me, but then you’d be wrong.

Hi everybody, here we go with Chris' 30th birthday video, "you mean happiness to us".

I thought I would use as an inspiration this difficult time we're living, trying to dispel the negative thoughts with good and positive ones.

We are all being affected by the situation on different levels.

I've read many of you are using Chris' books to get distracted, feel better, escape from reality for a while. Not to talk about the teachers reading his books for their classes, or the parents entertaining their children.

That is the theme of this year's birthday project.

I want you to focus on the POSITIVE THOUGHTS that Chris and his books inspire, to help you holding on when you need it the most, or the HAPPINESS he brings to your everyday life.

I want you to wish him a happy birthday while explaining, in a video or a short letter, how Chris and/or his books inspire positivity and help you deal with your everyday life.

The detailed instructions:

-lf you make a video (as usual recommended for a more personal message❤️, but not mandatory)

1)you wish him a happy 30th bday

2)you explain how&why he inspires positivity when you need it (it can be his books or about him, his singinig/acting.. anything)

3)you can also show in the video the results of his positive inspiration if they are artistic- like drawing, creating costumes, performing; otherwise, it's fine to just explain your emotions.

Video max 2 minutes long!

-If you write him a letter:

1)you wish him happy 30th bday

2)you write in the letter how&why he inspires positivity when you need it (it can be his books or about him, his singing/acting.. anything) and you send a picture or a scan of the letter. You can also send an additional picture of yourself, to show him our lovely faces in person. ❤️ In the pic you can also show the results of his positive inspiration if they are artistic- like drawing, creating costumes, writing.

The letter can be up to one page long, but it has to be a VERY CLEAR PIC and perfectly readable. It's better if the letter extends orizontally and not vertically (explanatory pic attached), so it shows bigger in the video.

Don't forget to be very enthusiastic, colorful and fun about the BIRTHDAY WISH , it's his 30th and this is first of all a bday video!!!

All letters and videos must be sent in attachment to mylifeisathread@gmail.com

PLEASE ADD YOUR NAME (or nickname), AGE AND COUNTRY OF ORIGIN to the email.

Please NO VIDEOS as twitter private messages, it's really hard to download them.

If the video is too big for email, you can upload it on youtube as "not listed" and send me the link, or upload it on wetransfer and send me the link.

Deadline is May 22nd, you can find me on twitter @mylifeisathread for any question.

I really hope you like the idea and you will join the video project 😊 I think we all need some extra love this year and this will be our way to show Chris how grateful we are of him ❤️ I hope everybody can join in, even families and their children. Please spread the word!

Courage is one thing that no one can ever take away from you.
