Feature: Alexbee1236

I'm doing features for some of my deviant watchers on deviantART. I'll be posting them on here as well!

Who is AlexBee1236? Let's dive a little deeper and find out!

First, I'd like to refeature the wonderful deviation of my OC that Alexbee1236 did of my infamous Ludichrom.

Now isn't he just cute? On to the good stuff!

I asked Alexbee1236 to tell us five things about herself. Here's what she said!

1) My work has been featured on the Northern Virginia Writing Project's SSI anthologies for four years in a row.
2) One piece of mine was selected by Bob Weber to appear on his website for aspiring young artists, KidCartoonists.com. (See link: www.kidcartoonists.com/2014/08….)
3) I take free requests! Please see my two recent journals for more information.
4) I am the founder of the-hobbit-fan-club. Please join! We are a small institution, but we hope to grow!
5) My work is on Pinterest (Alexandra Bowman), Tumblr (Alexbee42/The Hitchhiking Hobbit of 221B), and Artician.

Next, I asked Alexbee a few questions here's the Q&A:

1) What do you enjoy about art?
    -    I love seeing lines come to life before my eyes! The act of creating characters on paper is a wonderful sensation. I also love creating my own interpretations of my favorite characters, and making my own as well!

2) How long have you been drawing?
    -    I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, although I really got going in late 2012 after watching "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and I started drawing Bilbo Baggins on every single piece of paper in sight. 

3) What's your favorite medium?
    -    I love using pencil, Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pens, Prismacolor colored pencils, watercolors, Autodesk Sketchbook, and anything that happens to be available at the moment. I'd love to learn to use charcoal someday!

4) What inspires you the most?
    -    I am most inspired by books, novels, movies, nature, and personal experience. I also love looking at deviantART or talking with friends for inspiration.

5) What deviation are you most proud of?
    -   
6) Do you have any OCs? If so, tell me about them!
    -    A) Raphie the Lab. He's a young yellow English Labrador Retriever, a very cultured fellow with a British accent ("Raphie" is short for "Raphael"). I have a piece featuring him, if you would like to see it! 
         B) Lester the Dragon. He's very confident, intelligent, and well-bred. No drawings in my gallery feature him yet, but I'll upload them soon! 
         C) A cute dragon character without a name. 
         D) A baby hamster without a name. 
         E) Arthur Hamish Baggins, if it counts. 

As I was going through AlexBee1236's gallery, I picked a few favorites of my own!


Alexbee wanted to tell us a bit more about herself. You are more than welcome to visit her profile page (I encourage you to!), but for those of us who are a bit more lazy, here's what she has to say:

"Hello, fellow sketchers! I'm Alexbee1236. I love to draw, especially things relating to fantasy, dragons, hobbits, consulting detectives, hoopy froods who know where their towels are, hedgehogs, and animals in general. I do take requests, so please feel free to submit them below! Please "favorite" my drawings and watch me! I am also on Pinterest (see link). I have an account on OurArtCorner.com. (Link: ourartcorner.com/works/Alexbee…) Just recently I signed up for Tumblr, so I'm still getting used to the controls, but if you'd like to follow me, my username is Alexbee42. My blog title is, appropriately, "The Hitchhiking Hobbit of 221B". 

My work has been featured on the Northern Virginia Writing Project's SSI anthologies for four years in a row. One piece of mine was selected by Bob Weber to appear on his website for aspiring young artists, KidCartoonists.com. (See link: www.kidcartoonists.com/2014/08….) I am mainly a hobbyist, but an aspiring hobbyist nonetheless. I love learning all the ins and outs of drawing. Right now, I'm using both books, our lovely Internet, and YOUR art tips to improve and progress! I suppose I can say I'm a student. 

My work is on Redbubble! My username is AlexBowman314. There's a link below! 

If you watch me, favorite anything I post, comment on anything on my profile, give me a badge, etc., I will watch you, 99% guarantee. 

I am the founder of the group entitled "The-Hobbit-Fan-Club". Click here to join! :iconthe-hobbit-fan-club:

I take commissions and requests! They are all 100% free! I will try my best to fulfill your request, although some things are just not up my alley, and I apologize if that turns out to be the case. But, if you have a request, please comment below on my profile or on a piece related to your request. See my recent Journal post for more information.

I am a big fan of all things fantasy and science fiction. If you like either, I HIGHLY recommend that you check out my gallery!

If you don't like either of those genres, I still recommend that you [click on my gallery] and take a look! I draw lots of different things: from from hobbits to hedgehogs, from Disney to dragons, from Sherlock to Stitch, from Night Furies to Narnia… my gallery has it all!"


Thanks, AlexBee1236! I encourage everyone to check out the rest of the amazing art in her gallery. Watch her or at least give her a llama!


If you want to be featured, send me a note for details! All you gotta do is draw one of my OCs and answer a few questions about yourself. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, and I hope you've smiled at least once today. If not, watch this: Lizard Nomming
Yours Truly,

Michelle
