Here be dragons!

As it turns out I did do the first Schoolism video wrong, so I've had to go back and redo it. This week I had to do a 3-tone sketch of my design, and it still has to look recognisable:

I'm going to watch the next video once the Formula 1 is done with, although I got wasted last night, and as a result today has been wholly unproductive, and this blog post will be fairly short. Although we did go and watch the fireworks show at my place of work, the fireworks were pretty spectacular. The even has to be called Guy Fawkes night, they can't call it Bonfire night as they can't have a bonfire in the middle of the forest.

On the walk to the pub yesterday I did manage to get some nice autumnal shots on my phone of our local park:

I've completed week 2 of my writing course, I had to listen to a line from a radio station and build a story on that. The line I had was 'Once you come out of a situation like that, it's like coming up from the sea-bed'. Week 3 starts tomorrow.

I've not watched any interesting videos this week, however I do have a Pin on Pinterest, hope you like: http://www.zeutch.com/graphik/moleskine-doodles-50270#

Week 3: 1000 days of drawing

Hi all, it's getting late on Sunday evening, and I've had a very busy weekend redecorating my house and packing for holiday (again)! I've also found 4+ hours to draw today, and it's substandard, I'm not happy with it.

Anyway, before I go to bed I'll share with you this week's drawings. I'm still enjoying the daily challenge, however I'm having a break from it this week. I'll take my tablet on holiday with me, but I doubt inspiration will hit as I'll be in the pub for most of it! Maybe I'll do what this guy did... http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/07/michigan-tech-student-drunk-designed-plane-twitter-viral-mark-keith

15. Family Portrait. I ran out of time to add the facial features, but on reflection I'm glad I didn't as I wouldn't want to you see them, or for me to do them an injustice with this image!

16. Inspiration. I was trying to use Bobby Chiu as inspiration but it wound up nothing like what he produces, oops! I was also playing around with a different brush option in Photoshop. I'm not sure if I like it yet.

17. Favourite plant. Mine is the daffodil!

18. Just doodle. Did this at the pub while doing a pub quiz. Everyone thought I was being antisocial!

19. Something new. This tomato was picked fresh off my tomato plant just before I drew it. Now it's been peeled and put in my freezer for later consumption.

20. Something Orange. I don't really own anything orange, but a suggestion made to me was to draw The Orange Box. I spent far too long on it though.

21. Something You Want. This was quickly rushed, as I want to go to bed. However I want to be recognised as an artist, although the above is symbolic of an art gallery I don't necessarily want this to be how I'm recognised (although I wouldn't complain)!
