There was much drama in buying my Twilight tickets.

I went online a couple of nights ago to purchase my tickets and was informed that opening night tickets were sold out. Ugh!

Luckily, a co-worker told me they still had tickets available at the Camphill movie theater. And we were able to purchase tickets for the midnight showing of "New Moon" YEAH!!!

I will have to travel a little farther, but I think it's worth it. Even though my husband thinks I'm crazy, hey, he married me, so that's on him...hehe

This month's main story for the Takeover section is about teens smoking.

Here is my illustration.

I drew this in pencil first. And added color using Adobe photoshop. The idea came to me as I was looking at a photo of a cigarette. Otherwise, the concept just popped into my head.

Most of my ideas come to me like that.

I will use some photos for reference, but be warned copying a photo is a form of plagiarism and should be taken seriously.

GOTHIC BRIDE

I love Halloween. This year my Halloween picture finder pays homage to director Tim Burton.

My spooky scene is filled with ghoulish characters, a swirly hilltop, and some famous ghosts.

My picture finder will be in Saturday's York Daily Record.

But here is a sneak peek.

Here is a step-by-step look at how to draw Nutters.
