Sword And what’s better than one sword? Two swords! Just a quick one as I left the house for work at 8.30am and got home at 9pm. Drawing a square to contain my drawing seems to be helping. The last few grew to A3 size. Reasonably happy with this one: found the reference photo, and […]

Inktober 2017 #5
Long. It’s a long bow. In the physical sense, I’m sure it’s different to a longbow. (Or maybe not…? I’ve only seen the hunger games!) I really need to practice crosshatching and faces. (And feet and hands, but not this inktober!) Used Carbon Ink, my fanciest pen holder, Pental kuru toga mechanical pencil in 0.5. […]
Inktober 2017 #4
Underwater Again, super rushed, went into heavy with the black ink (impatient) and the acrylic pen isn’t up to saving the values in my hands. Oh well. Another one down. Platinum carbon ink (amazing black undiluted – did use the ox gal in the water, don’t know if that helped), polychromos white pencil, safari lamy […]
Inktober 2017 day 3
Poison What i drew on day 3… I did have a concept ready to go, but I still can’t settle on one I like. Meanwhile this handsome chap was about to loose his feathers. I used polychromos pencil, lamy safari foundtain pen, acrylic white pen marker and acrylic black ink in my a3 ebony daler […]
Inktober 2017 #2
Divided Due to a weird quirk of how I took the photo…. it came out sideways and looks better that way. So I went with it. I was originally only going to do half a skull face, because she’s divided, but I totally got into this one and I just love skulls and bones. An […]
Inktober 2017 #1
Swift I found my Pental brush pen! I spent all day looking for it when I was doing my inktober stash post. I promptly scribbled all over my drawing and regretted it. I am not happy with this one, and I am putting it down to the rush to get it done before work. I’m […]
Preparing for inktober
I planned to do inktober last year,I just never got past the thinking about it stage. This year, I am determined. Who needs sleep? I am planning out my prompts now, and although I may not have time to do one each day, I will have moments where I can catch up. (For instance, the […]
New paint!
Because of In Liquid Color I have just panic bought 5 tubes of Quinacridone Gold (PO 49). According to In Liquid Color, Daniel Smith bought up all the PO 49 when the pigment went out of production. (People dont want quidacridone gold cars any more) and they’ve just announced their last batch. I previously had the SAA’s […]
Commissions: Arnie and house
On the way. Making some progress. Just need to remind myself not to paint all the hairs on the dog, and all the blades of grass. It’s very meditative but not good for the overall painting. Also had an extensive reprint on the hall (I don’t want to put the whole name in in case […]
It’s going to be okay
It seems everyone, no matter how successful I judge them to be (compared to my life, it’s all I have to compare it to after all) feel like they haven’t made it. So I hope you find these videos as helpful as I found them. (In the first video if you’re not interested in the […]
