Something for the Caas!

OK so as you all know, I've been on a drawing rampage the last few days, cramming as much Indian ink in as I can as this Saturday I'll be starting my Creative Arts Academy course woop! So excited! Can't wait to learn about worship and dance :)

Haven't seen my lovely Yotties in ages (I did a Year Of Training aka YOT course last year) and I need their craziness in my life.

Anyway, back to art, so as a way to get a good start, I thought I'll make some drawings for my prospective course mates, most of them I know already so it wasn't hard to think up ideas on how to draw them.

Haha there's a funny story about this one actually. This is for Kiran, my friend from Jubilee Church. She's Indian and both her and I have this joke about getting haircuts from your aunties and always getting jobs through a friend of a friend of a friend. Without aunties, we wouldn't be anywhere. Some 1st generation Asians have this caricature idea of Westerners being promiscuous and prone to divorce hahaha! It's not true of course but very funny. So this card was kind of a parody of that.

Here's Sinta, my course leader doing her crazy acrobatic dance moves with her two adorable children in tow.

This is Hanne from Belgium, I know she loves hiphop so thought I'd draw her as a gangsta. Realised I forgot to give her glasses but actually think her being glassness is better.

This is Jamie from Isle of Wight. On orientation the SWEATies joined us and he wore these ridiculous-looking frog shoes for running called Vibrams, so I'm not drawing him all frog-like on purpose.

My lovely Faith from Uganda! This is her performing her own song Shake It in the only way that she can do.

I always think of Tim with that wolley hat and shades.

During the Leadership Training Banquet, Jono performed with Hannah and Glenn and they dressed up as, actually I don't know what but it was a lot of black. Jono donned this afro mane, shades with a fake cigarette in his mouth. He looks a lot more sane in real life.

Jana playing Bambelela on piano!

Katie! With her signature glasses, beanie hat and scarf.

Hahahaha my other yellow asian friend. Michel and I were the two girls on YOT who ate the most. She is the queen of sauces. Don't give her the mayo jar, you'll get like 3g left once she's done with it. She also had this wobble board that she shared with Ash (who always said "You've got to be kidding" in her Aussie accent) but as she's from Malaysia she says it funny like "wobblebblebor". I don't know, you really have to listen to it in person.

Paul Kloppers! Such a hilarious guy. One of his famous sayings. Also, I was in his and Jana's room and there was this tin of Carnations condensed milk, opened on the floor with nothing left in it; he ate the whole thing by itself! I know what to do him for Christmas.

Emmas Vanhyfte! My gorgeous crazy cellie and all round crazy Flemmish friend. She would always shout "CHINGALING!!!" whenever she sees me.

This is for my London friend Isi, she's not doing CAA but seeing as we've been friends for some time thought I'd draw something for her too.

So there you have it. They were quick sketches. I didn't pay too much attention to the thickness of the lines, just draw it for fun. Feel quite liberated that I'm not drawing to get the grades but just for recreational fun.

再見!
