No art!

Well, I think the is the first blog post where I haven't done ANY art to contribute this week. I could come up with a plethora of excuses, but simply put I've not had the time. Funnily enough, I've had more time than ever as of the start of this year (as I'm not going out as much to save for a mortgage), but I'm filling up my time with other things, such as deep cleaning the house and washing my car.

After deep cleaning my house I came across a bunch of old ImagineFX magazines. I've not touched them since moving out of my parents house 3 years ago, so today I've been going through them and noting good bits of information, plus ripping out images I'm keeping as inspiration:

Top middle: Chris Down, www.chrisdown.co.uk. Bottom left & bottom right: James Chung, www.jimbopaints.blogspot.com. Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange: Mark Hammermeister, www.imaginefx.com/markdraws. Centre & Centre-bottom: Owen Rixon, www.owenrixon.com. If anyone knows the artist of the top-left or top-right image please let me know so I can credit accordingly; I threw the magzines away before I got the artist details! 

In regards to artwork I have a couple of ideas up my sleeve: one which is quite personal and I'm not sure if I'll ever share it, but I've had a pretty dark day today in terms of my mood, and it's totally linked to lack of money. I've also got the idea with the wax crayons, and I've dug out the picture of Portrait of a Boy. Wow. That picture is so washed out, so I'm going to redo it with my new colouring pencils.

The amarylis died, so if I want to draw it I'm going to have to use last year's pictures I took.

Anyway, that's enough for this week, here is my Pinterest of the week, hope you enjoy! https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/314548355204564018/
