Balls

Went to do some more drawing, can't find graphics pen.

Suspect cats.

Bollox.

Doodle A Day - 9

I hate doing outlines, that's like my least favourite bit of drawing ><

Had best mate Kerry over today for her birthday, it's not actually her birthday today but we won't see her on her actual birthday so early party for her.

DF did an acrylic on canvas painting for her of a cherry tree with a samurai sitting underneath it with loads of butterflies, which naturally she loves. I got her this little thing:



It's perfume of some kind, and it actually smells pretty nice, but I mostly got it 'cos of the little anime type girl on top of the bottle, in case you couldn't guess, Kez is a big fan of Japanese type stuff :) and I got it from a summer faire ran by the people my dad and brother work for. It's basically an adult learning centre for people with learning difficulties, so the money went to a good cause too.

I baked Kez a cake, DF iced it, we had chips, pie and homemade pizza bread and settled down to watch the Woman in Black since she'd always wanted to see it ... well I say 'we' but DF can't stand horror/suspense movies so he went and hid upstairs. Kez lasted until the bit in the nursery where the little monkey toy set itself off xD We were watching it in the dark and she made me turn the light back on before she ran out of the room to go hide in her nest in the spare room. We're gonna watch the second half in the morning, in daylight, while we eat cake.

So in short, I had a pretty good evening xD

Doodle A Day - 8

Well this is going well, two days behind now ><

Lessee, well, firstly this is the sketch work for the second Horseman, Famine, who when he appeared in game was riding an evil, flaming pony (as you do). In case you were wondering, yes this is a trace from a stock photo I've found since I've never drawn a horse in my life (well ... I probably drew some when I was five but that probably doesn't count).

I seriously could not be arsed to spend weeks and months researching horse anatomy, how people sit on horses and how the reigns would work just for a doodle of an RP character, drawing for me is just a hobby after all.

So yes, pony!

In non-arty news, I had my job interview for Ladbrokes today, so fingers crossed I'll hear back form them, yeah?

Though of course the downside of having a job would be that I would probably miss more drawings days >< oh well ...

... Oops

Damnit, just over a week in and I've already missed a day >< while sleeping for ten hours is nice when you've been having problems sleeping recently, it's not so great when it cuts into you drawing time (I usually draw in the evenings).

Never trust naps.

I shall have to see if I can catch up this evening after errands >,>

Doodle A Day - 7

Annnnd finished. Meet Reed Richards, AKA Marvel's Mr. Fantastic, AKA Nightscrawlearth's Pestilence, the White Rider of Apocalypse.

Nightscrawearth is a long-running, chat based RP that I'm a member of. It's X-Men based in a 'mutants only' universe, so we have characters like Reed to the left here, Thor, Warlock, Spider-Man, only they're all mutants with an X-gene, not gods and aliens and results of weird science experiments, it's a lot of fun.

We've not long finished an 'Apocalypse' plot, where wealthy business man and megalomaniac En Sabah Nur arranged the kidnapping of a handful of X-Men and had Dr. Essex (who you might know better as Mr. Sinister) alter them into his Horsemen, due to his brilliant intellect and rubber body which the judged would be a good host to any variety of diseases he could create with his twisted genius, Reed was transformed into Pestilence.

Don't worry, he's better now, but ol' Poccy is still out there somewhere ...

If you're interested in our RP, you can check it out here.

Next for my daily challenge, I might start working on one of the other Horsemen.

Doodle A Day - 6

Balls, gone midnight and I didn't notice while I was colouring and shading and blending and all that jazz. I think blending the shade is my favourite part of drawing with the pad.

It's been a pretty awesome day for me, I got a phone call for a job interview from Ladbrokes for Monday, though my sister had to lend me the money to get a full birth certificate for it since I don't get JSA till saturday, so tomorrow it's off into town to beg the registry office for a same day one, which should be fuuuuun but hey, job that pays well 'cos of danger money and potential management opportunities, £7 an hour? Thank you very much! I may be able to get married sooner rather then later if I'm lucky.

Been working a lot on my nanowrimo ideas recently as well, I need to get an outline written down so I know where I'm going with it.

Right, back to rping!

Doodle A Day - 5

So it's nearly midnight and rather then doing anything productive most of my evening has been spent playing with my new toy. When I first got my wacom this came with it but it never worked before now.

It's fun, but it takes some getting used to, so you can pretty much see what I doodle in real life here, eyes and basic shapes and little chibi things. The dinosaur is referencing that silly talk I had with my beloved while we were at the pool today.

Sooo, on the subject of my notepad, I like it a lot, the felt tips are pretty fun to play with, you can see me messing about with layers and such, the only downside is that you only get a few colours :(

Hopefully I'll get some real drawing done tomorrow xD
