Description
So since my tablet's broken I decided to get back into doodles. It's been over a year since I really drew with a pencil. It's like trying to get back into jogging. I'm still trying to hit my stride; I'm annoyed when I make a mistake and have to erase it rather than just clicking ctl+z. I don't like the smudgies. When I draw traditionally I have less room for error. D:Bah, this'll be good for me. I forgot how much better I could do hair with traditional means.
Started off with some Alivias. Threw in a Garik (because I wanted to practice those dimples).
And of course, my man, P.J.. I'm almost done with Mark of Athena right now. Then I'll be twiddling my thumbs waiting for the next book.
What do we think? Better? Worse? Still got it? Need more practice? Hungry?

Definately hungry
I love the way you draw hair! I am totally fascinated when you do it digitally and now I'm totally envious of the traditional

and, do I spy a tatoo on Alivia?

Yes! All Bog burglars have that tattoo (in my and *ch4rms headcanon). It represents female power- the maiden, the mother, and the crone. You can see it on these bogs we made: [link] , [link] (and we have like a dozen more).
The one I drew on Alivia's chest 
YES! Keep cosplaying as her because it's amaaaazing!

aaaah! Tattoo almost sounds like a rite of assension then?
WHOOOA. Now that's clever. one that comes around like that? Wow. That's neato! Sometimes tattoos people get are so... blah. But if you make them clever like *that* it's fascinating and impressive!
Keep the sketches a'coming!!

It is a coming of age thing, yes. Personally, I'm not one for getting a tattoo unless they mean something really significant, like if there's something that happens in my life I want to permanently mark on my body. But in the HTTYD books, and I'd say for her culture, tattoos are quite common.

sswwweeet! That's sorta a neat 'rite' idea ;D I like it!!
Haha. I don't think I'd ever end up with a tattoo. I wouldn't hae any idea what to put on myself

Oh my word! I stopped by real quick (i'm ALMOST ready to return to dA for good now that Christmas, Car Buying, and filling in for a co-worker is ALMOST done) but I LOVE love LOVE your pencil work! Oh my GOSH! I'm still SOOOO sorry about your pen...
... but this is STILL beautiful! I loves it. And Alivia!! 
And I must commend you for designing your own Percy. As much as I love Burdge's version, I still hate it when everyone *ELSE* feels the need to draw him like *HER* idea

I'm glad you see that Percy as my own design. That's how I picture him in my head (to an extent, because I can't ever seem to actually draw what's in my head right). I do love burdge's stuff though. When I was halfway through the series I had to take a break and scour all her doodles.
I LOVE her Percabeth stuff. Now that is how you handle a couple.

oh heck! I love *ANYTHING* that comes from your creative mind 
Yes, he totally is your own design here. And I think I see more Percy in your gallery? Oh boy! I'm so pumped!! You *HAVE* really taken off with that. Daaaang. Now I'm gonna *have* to read the books I think
Oh yeah. Percabeth is just *perfect* Two years ago when I discovered Hannah-Dora and Burdge (I discovered them literally at the same time (not *exactly* same time but the same day) Hanna influenced my art/hatching, Burdge my style/poses/anatomy *AND* kicked me off with good 'love-story' ideas. A... *lot* of Harry and Ithilwen emerged from her art
But needless, I'm so excited to see you exploring the Demi-god universe
