A Rawsome day!

We went to Bristol Zoo yesterday, with the intention to draw. It was a glorious day, the sun was out and yeah, just great. There were lion cubs, baby meerkats, prairie dog pups and a day old seal cub! An ideal day for me I have to say.
We got to the zoo as it opened and spend the whole day there, which made forking out the £12 entrant fee worth it.
I got down to sketching rather late in the day though as it was heaving, half term and all. It made it a little bit awkward. I had one girl decide to sketch with me then have a massive tantrum because she didn't like her drawing. Her mum managed to pacify her though by redoing the drawing for her. (I thought it was rather good though).
I havn't drawn from life in a little while so the drawings are a bit rought, and I have to say I was completely taken by the cubs so I drew them most.

Inspiration strikes.

Whilst trying to create Neeva a facebook page it occured to me that although I have had her for years she doesn't really have a past or a future, she is what I want her to be. This is great but probably a bad place to start in terms of character design.
SoI decided to create a new character; Penny. She has a whole timeline of events that have scarred her and mean that I know how she would react to situations. I willl try and do some art that depicts her life and not just her pulling faces, but for now she's only just started and I am playing with her look -

When Penny is 18 she starts work at a bar and dates one of the bouncers, Jeff, he turns out to be a bit of a mistake.

So yeah, hopefully I'll do some more so you can see her full life story. Maybe try my hand at a comic or something.

tanzen!

So I just baught my very own dance shoes... new yorkers to be precise, for our up coming show Sweet Charity.

We are just starting to get our costume lists and having rehursals 3 times a week! It's getting closer!

Lots of Disney love

So me and Nim have been having a bit of a Disney binge, and therefore I drew some disney... nuff said.

then after this I drew a few expressions for my character Neeva... but they came out a bit too 'disney'

..still, I do like sketching in blue pencil

Blah

So at the moment I have an ongoing project which requires a different blog to be used. Because it has taken over, if you want to see what I have been up to please go here!!!
I'll post here soon <3

new hair!

cross posting...

I painted!! With acrylics and everything!! This was a 'dry run' for my uni project. As I have not used acrylics in ages I thought I better practice.
I posted the sketches for these the other day :
