Game of Thrones characters coming along nicely

I think I've found my flow again for drawing, and I think it's because I had 5 days off last week (including the weekend), it was really nice to have some time off work and recharge my batteries. I've managed to nearly finish 2 out of 4 drawings, the reason Bran, Rickon and Arya Stark aren't finished is because I need to practice my hands, so I need my other half to be my hand model:

Sansa Stark
Catelyn Stark, added in with Ned who was already finished
Bran & Rickon Stark
Arya Stark
I'm just about to start work on Robb Stark and John Snow. Once they're done I have Viserys Targaryen, Jaime and Tyrion Lannister, and Tommen and Mrycella Baratheon left, then I can start to colour these in! I don't have any plans for the next 7 weeks now, so there's no excuse for me to not finish these (although I find plenty of reasons to procrastinate, ha!).

In other news, we went to see Muse last night in Birmingham, and had a blast! I took a few photo's, but concert photo's never turn out well because of the low lighting:

Drones


There are hands on the screens, and it's like the hands were controlling the band members like puppets on string
The Globalist. Not my favourite song, but they played it in full
All-in-all I've had a productive weekend, considering I didn't do an awful lot yesterday except the concert and driving. No plans for this week, I'm counting down to my holiday now which is in 7 weeks' time.

So, before I go, I'll leave you with my Pinterest of the week, it's not art-related, but I made this on Monday, and it was delicious! So easy too: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/314548355205608764/

Week 2: 1000 days of drawing

Well, I've kept up the regular drawing! Albeit some days I don't draw, so I have to catch up the next day... Also I think it's pretty obvious when I draw something that interests me versus something that doesn't interest me.

Last week I found my favourite drawing was of my best friend, however this took me a few hours to do. I don't have a few hours to spend every day drawing, so I'm trying to limit myself to one hour. It stops me procrastinating and it forces me to work more efficiently.

I've had a really busy week socially, so while I've struggled to get my practise in I've also not really looked at any art-ish articles, or listened to anything inspiring. So without further ado here is what I've worked on this week!


Day 6: Favourite Book Character. The above is (supposed to be...) Vimes from Terry Pratchett's Discworld

Day 7: Favourite Word. I was really un-inspired for this one, I think I spent a grand total of 10 minutes on this. I really couldn't be arsed

Day 8: Favourite Animated Character. This is Randy Marsh from South Park. If you're interested as to why his ball-sack is in a wheelbarrow watch the Medicinal Fried Chicken episode

Day 9: Favourite TV Show. In my opinion this is the greatest TV show EVER!!

Day 10: Favourite Candy. My actual favourite candy is Bonfire Toffee, but as that would just look like black glass I thought this might be more interesting

Day 11: Turning Point in your Life. This is supposed to show the day I flew to Australia from the UK to backpack for a whole year!

Day 12: Most recent accomplishment. Regular readers will know I am a member of Slimming World, and I'm doing OK so far on it. The above is a representation of how I felt before and after. PS I'm not that thin

Day 13: Comic. I didn't read comics when I was younger, I was a bookworm, but when I ran out of reading material I would borrow my younger brother's comics. The Beano was about the only thing he read. The above is Dennis the Menace

Day 14: Favourite Fairytale. Again, I struggled to think of something for this, but eventually landed on The Ugly Duckling
