Drew a tap

I know, not very inspirational subject matter – or execution, but it was good to get back to some drawing again – it’s been a long time.

Drew my lunch

Feeling rather too queasy after the excesses of last night to eat my tuna, chickpea & bean salad so I drew it instead.

Not so effective today

I wanted to improve the confidence of my strokes so I’ve just been doodling around today. Had a play with the vertical symmetry option and came up with this rather worried-looking creature.

Today’s lunchtime drawing

My lunchbox – it’s a soft insulated lunchbox which I got with the King Island Cheese showbag at the Royal Easter Show a few years back. I’m really enjoying the shading possibilities in this little programme – it’s really making me observe lights and darks more. And shadows.

Attempted to draw my phone

Getting the hang of this software a bit better, I think.

Drew a shoe

As a little going-to-bed wind-down.

Unfortunately I haven’t yet been able to discover how to rotate it on the iPod…

Played around with a sketching app

So this is a slightly inaccurate portrait of my travelling bear, Gerald. Looks like a great tool – perfect for those days where one has an unexpected 10 minutes but no sketchbook!

Messed around with illustrator

I felt the time had come to finally work up my “Guardian of the dumb idea” doodle into something a little more official. Woollyjitters says he looks like a trout playing golf. I don’t know that he’d take very kindly to that. At any rate, I’m fond of him.

Messed about with collage and drawing

The horrors of this week all got too much for me, so after spending the morning finishing reading Murder on the Leviathan I decided to give myself the day off and spent the whole afternoon on the couch, listening to music and messing about in my journal – I completed 6 entire spreads! Plus added a bit to a few more. I don’t think I’ve ever done that much in a session ever before. Definitely feel better for a little random creative thought, although the headache is as bad as ever.
