"Everybody needs a Thneed!"
I was just sketching for fun a few days ago when I drew this little Once-ler. I feel like recently I've been trying really hard to have my art look a certain way (less cutesy, slightly more mature, more gentle, etc). So it was nice to just draw something (this Once-ler) the way my hand just naturally wants to draw. This is the same way I drew my Once-lers when me and my friend Monique did our drawing game.
I love this style dearly but I still can't help but feel the need to draw less cutesy sometimes. I've honestly been feeling very artistically insecure recently and have been trying to learn so many drawing techniques at once that I feel like I don't remember how to draw at the moment.
I'm new to the Lorax fandom, and kinda shy as I've never been apart of anything like this before, but I'd love to join this year's Thneedmas event!! ❤️💚
Read fully before liking/reblogging!
This event is being run by @miru667
AS A HEADS UP, WE’RE LOOKING FOR MAKEUP GIFT VOLUNTEERS THIS YEAR!
Makeup gift volunteers fill in when a participant is unable to get a gift from their assigned partner; these things happen sometimes! If you’d like to volunteer for this role, please message @miru667. Thanks again!
This blog itself is meant to organize the Lorax fandom’s various “Secret Santa” styled events, and to share the works created by our participants once each exchange has ended. Participants do not have to follow, but if you’d like to keep tabs, feel free to follow our tag: #unitetheloraxfandom
Here are the rules!
1) To sign up you must LIKE AND REBLOG the official post for the current exchange. That would be this one! We will try to message people once they’ve been added to the participants list, so look out for that!
2) We will be contacting you via Tumblr Direct Messaging (DM) to first confirm your participation, and then later to send you the name of your buddy. But you don't have DMs on, we will be sending it to your tumblr inbox. Make sure you have your inbox open please! You don’t need to have anon on. If we can’t contact you, you will be taken OFF of the list without warning.
3) If you change your URL after signing up, you MUST tell us. If you will be unavailable to answer DMs for more than 3 days, PLEASE tell us as well.
4) Sign-up starts TODAY (December 1st) and will be CLOSED on December 7th 23:59 EST. You MUST reply to our DM to confirm your participation by December 8th, 6:00am EST, or else you won't be added to the participants list.
5) On December 8th, you will be messaged the name of your secret buddy. They must be unaware that you are their Thneedmas Exchange partner until after the period of posting (December 23rd - January 5th) or longer depending on issues with post limit.
6) If you sign up after the cutoff date, your url will be put on a waiting list for the next exchange. There will be no room for late sign-ups.
7) Gifts can be fanart, fanfiction, fan video, etc. If you have any other ideas for your gift, feel free to get creative. Also, please try to keep them related to The Lorax unless you know your buddy would appreciate something non-Lorax related more (like if they have an OC, for example). If your gift is very obviously low-effort/insincere/trolling, you will be banned from future gift exchanges.
8) If you have had drama in the past with another tumblr user, please let us know ahead of time so we can make certain that neither of you are assigned to each other.
9) Buddies will be assigned by the mods, and you will be buddied up randomly. If you don’t receive a buddy after the sign-up period is over, then MESSAGE US IMMEDIATELY! DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE THE EXCHANGE OR THE LAST DAY OF THE EXCHANGE OR 2 DAYS AFTER THE EXCHANGE.
10) If you have not received your gift in time, you MAY make a request for a makeup one created by one of the mods or makeup gift volunteers; this offer is only valid if you’ve come through with your own partner’s gift, it’s only fair.
Thank you for reading!
I've been obsessed with Frozen again recently since watching it to celebrate New Years Eve so I had to draw my dear Elsa. I wanted to draw her with her old dress on but with her hair down cus I love that iconic moment in Let It Go when she lets her hair down.
Just reminder that you brighten someone's day without realising it, that you deserve good things and all the good moments that you experience. And overall you are a wonderful person.
-sincerely, anon.
Naww, thank you so very much to the absolute sweetheart who left this kind message!! You are truly a blessing to this world and your kindness and love has really touched my heart!! What a beautiful soul you are, thank you!! You definitely deserve all the love and happiness too :’3🫶💕💕
Currently I’m obsessed with Gravity Falls and it seems like everybody else is too so I thought I’d share my drawing of Dipper and Mabel in my art style. Probably will post more Gravity Falls art soonish, have some Stan sketches.
(Audrey Art part 1.) I have my own AU Audrey/Audrey OC for my "Once-ler-pon A Time" fic now and this is her and I love her. This is Audrey Flowers and she's 20! Click "Keep Reading" to hear all about her!!!
My Audrey seems very serious and somewhat closed off before you properly meet her, partly because her parents are very critical of her and judgemental and because she's constantly been picked on by classmates. But also because the destruction of nature and beginning of O'Hare's dictatorship started when she was a teenager so she was forced to grow up too fast and become pessimistic and sad.
But once you get to know my Audrey and she trusts you, she will love you and trust you deeply forever. Once she trusts you she's very very silly and playful and totally embraces her inner child around you. She will constantly do silly things.
She's also extremely gentle and polite, even before she knows or trusts anybody, but if she senses injustice she is fierce and fights back. She's extremely protective over her loved ones and has strong morals.
She's also very artistic, mostly liking painting and dancing. She finds painting is the only way she can truly express herself and her inner child without her parents or strangers judging.
One day Audrey gets tired of living in Thneedville and trying to be a "perfect, lady-like young woman" for her parents so she sneaks out of town and while aimlessly exploring she comes across the Once-ler who's been isolated for a few years and is an emotional mess. She hates him at first when she realized what he's done and who he is, but she soon comes to understand why he did what he did and realizes he actually has a pure heart and feels like a scared little kid who grew up too fast just like her (And he has mama issues just like her). They end up becoming best friends with a sibling-like bond and I love them. (My Audrey is actually partly inspired by my best friend Monique as my Once-ler is partly based off me xD)
Thanks so much for the support on the last post y’all! I’m really flattered 🫶🖤 Here are the sketches of Stan and Ford I’d mentioned! This time I tried my best to replicate the Gravity Falls style.
Hiya people of Tumblr. I’m very new to this website and am loving it so far. Decided to share my dragon drawings with y’all for my first post. I’m obsessed with dragons/HTTYD and often draw dragons. I love my scaly babies. Which one would you adopt and what would you name them?
(Comfort Characters part 3.) Pam Beesly 💗. The Office is probably my favourite show and I love many characters on it but Pam is the most comforting and also most relatable. She's the sweet and shy artsy mom-friend and no Pam hate will be tolerated on this page 😭
I drew this for my grandma. Recently I've been thinking about her even more than I always already am and her birthday is this month. And also just because I love her very much. <3
I wanted this artwork to feel comforting and dainty as well as gentle and kind, much like my memories of my grandma. It was important for me to include lots of flowers but esspecially pink roses. They were her favourites and she had a garden full of them. She would talk about the dragonflies in her garden and once sent me and my mom dragonflies made of ribbons (she loved making crafts and sewing <3) so I included dragonflies. She absoluetly adored snowflakes and loved rabbits too. I included a small rat as years ago she had a lovely pet rat named Rosy, and some planets because she once sent my mom a book about space. I included a deer and an angle as angles are angelic and pure, and I think of deers as gentle and dainty innocent creatures. I meant for the drawing to be more pastel colors but it turned out looking kind of Lisa Frank but that's okay. I really hope my grandma would love this drawing. <333
(19 She/her) 🖤🩶🤍💜 I’m a very silly, dorky young woman who draws stuff and hangs out in fandoms. 💚 Currently obsessed with/drawing lots of Wall-E, Gravity Falls and the Lorax Movie (Once-ler). My other fandoms include How To Train Your Dragon, The Office, Vampire Diaries, Heartstopper, Stranger Things, Coldplay, Taylor, F+TM, Lorde, Hozier and all things Disney Pixar. Sending love 🫶🖤💚 🏳️🌈(🇵🇸I stand with Palestine but have 0 money to donate, I'm sorry 🙏)
