Day 60: Happy Duckie

Its a happy duckie. I went to Bristol today to meet up with my mate Kate (hello Kate, I know you're reading this =P) it was great and I got to draw a lot on the train there and back. I drew this guy on the way back, he's a possible design for a friends birthday card :] I also started character designs for the Egyptian kids book. I'm really excited for it, it looks like fun project :D :D That's all from me now, I'm going to fall asleep whilst the other half watches Stargate for "research" :)

Day 59: lil 'Gyptian Boy

So the plans to make a children's book based on an Egyptian story are continuing. This little fella is quite far from the designs I have in mind but he's still cute so he wins. Must work on posing characters.. Hmm. Anyways! I'm off to Bristol tomorrow to visit my mate Kate. Fun times had by all. :]

Day 58: A Breeze Rolls In

Well its getting nippy out and I've spent most of today with gloves on and a hoodie. Admittedly I've also been indoors but that's not the point, I've still experienced the biting cold. I'm really happy with this picture. The wind looks just how I want it to and so, infact, does the boy- except maybe the mouth but that's not important in the scheme of things. In other news I got, and built (with the fiance's help) a lovely new desk today so I can draw and work properly now! Yay!

Day 57: what?

You wouldn't believe I'd spent most of today down the beach and talking about making a kid's book based on Egypt? Anyway its been a lovely day, even if it featured a lot of forms in the later half. Anyways this started out as some kind of building, then machine, then costume design then.. Well I don't know where it ended up. Enjoy!

Day 56: Thats gotta hurt

I've been aching a lot today, I think the Sinusitis is doing its worst. Anyway this image is basd off those pains and, kinda, how they felt- although there is a lot of creative license going on. I suppose this is a mutant rather than a zombie or monster. Either way it doesn't look pleasant, especially the broken wrist, not to mention the spikes growing out of the leg.

Day 55: Evil eye

After I finished this guy I noticed he bears more than a passing resemblance to the bad guy in Treasure Planet. No matter, its not a rip or anything. I got there purely by pushing facial anatomy around to create something a bit more unsettling than your standard skull.

Day 54: Thinking

I started watching Buffy from the first series today as I was drawing. I had an interview today which was nice, it seemed to go quite well. Anyways, I quite like this woman, I've been trying to draw women more, especially non-geeky or old types. Thats all from me for now! Tara

Day 53: She is Short

I met this strange woman today as I was doing a dry-run to my job interview tomorrow (mainly because I'm relying on buses for the whole thing). She was very very short and a bit strange. She also it turned out had the same destination only she works there. Anyways, job interview tomorrow! Wish me luck!

Day 52: Dragons, Monsters and Old Ladies

Well I spent something in the way of 3 hours on buses today and a lot more travelling between places so that gave me a lot of time to think and draw. The old lady is one of the first drawings I did today and the far left dragon one of the last. The lady is also drawn from life, the creatures though, are not. Also all of these were drawn on a very bumpy bus which eventually made me quite travel sick [better now]. Anyways hope you lot like it, I did another pile of sketches today but I think these guys came out best. Tara!

Day 51: Brucey

Today's art is of Bruce Campell in the comic book of Army Of Darkness [Ashes to Ashes] drawn by Nick Bradshaw. I really love the artist's style so I had a little go at it. Out of all the things I've drawn today this came out by far the best so here you go. :)
