This triceratops is a lean, mean, fighting machine. His name is Tinsel.

Trying to improve on day 27's disappointing effort. A tonal study painted using gouache - an opaque type of watercolour. It's my first time using them - tricky!

28/100 - 28.12.2009

Pencil portrait. It turns out that hands are rather difficult to draw!

27/100 - 27.12.2009

Not too happy with how this turned out (so i reduced the image size :) Trying a new technique that I'm finding difficult. Watercolour.

Being silly... tried to do a tiny portrait! The head is 2mm across :) I sharpened a pencil as sharp as a pin, it was tricky (and pointless :).

20/100 - 20.12.2009

Pencil figure drawing.

19/100 - 19.12.2009

Freehand Ink & Brush inverted drawing of a comedian - didn't know how it would turn out until I had scanned it and re-inverted it... don't think it's very recognisable.

18/100 - 18.12.2009

Graphite drawing of an Indian tuk tuk (auto rickshaw).

Done in honour of some friends who are bravely taking part in the rickshaw run for charity, from their site:

"On the first day of the first month of the year 2010, three intrepid blokes from Glasgow, Scotland will be attempting to drive, push, pull and force an auto-rickshaw from Pokhara in the Himalaya in Nepal down the length of India to the Southern city of Kochi. A journey of some 5000km in a 150cc vehicle that advertises "a top speed of 55kpm , but we've seen it do more downhill !!" Its just as well we're starting at the top and heading down the way."

They are raising money for the Mercy Corps who provide humanitarian community support and relief to poor countries in Africa.  The guys' site is linked below, please give generously :D

30 second figure sketches

16/100 - 16.12.2009

 

Watercolour of some hills.  I need to learn how to use watercolours.

15/100 - 15.12.2009

robot on a skateboard. Brush and Ink, and digitally coloured. Check out those stupid misshapen tiny hands and feet.

It's leg came off when it was trying to perform a grind that was WAY beyond it's ability.

14/100 - 14.12.2009

Day 14 and still going.  Today is another practice day, another round of 30 second figure sketches - I should probably check a book or something but for now I'm hoping this is a good way to practice... Anyway, I did a few pages full of these sketches, the one shown here was a sketch I quite liked. I should really get some cheap paper for doing these sketches but for now I'll ruin the decent stuff.

Day 13, and some illustration (of mos).  Brush and india ink. Digitally coloured.

more mos pictures here

12/100 - 12.12.2009

Tricky to explain this one... I took a macro shot of a small transparent plastic skull (from halloween), inverted the picture so it was like a negative, then drew that negative photo in pencil (and upside down too :), then I scanned in the drawing and inverted it back to normal. Phew!
