Today I have...

... lost a spider (it was probably magic)

and been totally addicted to Rhythmic Gymnastics. I just don't understand how these women do it!



I'm trying to storyboard and at the moment I'm not so good, but the only way to get better is by practising right? Inspired by this wonderful person Heather Dixon

Sketchbook time

 This happened when I was on holiday. We had just returned from our morning swim in the sea (the Scottish sea is COLD!) and it was raining. And dad needed me to hold an umbrella over him whilst he poured water from the water carriers (we were camping.) I couldn't help sketching it because I thought it was an odd act.

These are from a couple of nights ago, suddenly got inspired to draw. Not so fussed about the first one as I drew it from a fashion pic and it sort of lacks character.

 But then I was totally inspired by this lovely lady Bethan Mure. She is so certain with her mark making, something that I am trying to get better at. And this was my first attempt.

 I have been watching a lot of Olympics, I mean a lot! And I happened to catch the GB woman's team playing hockey. One of them had just scored a goal and it was a pretty amazing facial expression.

I'm hoping to get off my butt and start drawing again properly so hopefully this blog will be teaming with doodles very soon.

Musical Designs

A while ago the musical genius that is Mr Laurence Owen asked me to design something for some fliers (He's going to be part of the fringe festival don't you know). He wanted a portrait done in my style of his grumpy mug and his guitar, and I was happy to oblige, especially after he lent his musical talents to my film 'Don't step on the Crack'

These are my designs--->

He went for this one in the end, was more 'him'. 

Shape Challenge

I have not been totally on form with my drawing or art. My creative juices are simply not flowing at the moment. But I had a go at a shape challenge to get some work done.

more doodles

Cup O' Doodle

This blog (cup o doodle) is just brilliant. Had to try it for myself.

last minute sketch

I was about to go to bed when the urge to draw myself as a HP character over came me. I was sorted in Hufflepuff (it makes sense).  Anyway, this is a very quick sketch before bed. I want the owl in real life, he's so cute.
