I had so much fun with the crappy watercolours, I dug out my untouched decent paints and had a proper go at him.

I’ve never understood why Paddington is used as a psychopomp for celebrities, but I thought he’d make a good #death for #drawtober

My first time properly having a go with watercolour. I’ve got quite the collection that’s been gathering dust, thought I should give it a go.

I don’t use my acrylic markers a lot, so I thought I’d justify their existence and do a quick #autumn leaf, finishing off with pencil, because why not. #drawtober

So, drawing every day didn’t work out. I’ve got some catching up to do. Have some #books #drawtober

Was planning on trying a different style but my black marker is running out and being streaky, so it evolved into a messy scribble thing and I think it worked out. #crow #drawtober

Decided to give an October prompt thing a go this year to try new things. Let’s see how long it lasts. #drawtober #forest

It was Christopher Reeve’s birthday last Friday. Had this in my head, but only got round to it now.

It was Peter Falk’s birthday yesterday. I’ve not done a 100% marker sketch before so thought I’d ’quickly’ give it a go at 10:30pm.

Happy birthday, Tim Curry. I tried, but it’s late in the day and I could spend another hour on this and not make much difference.

These pastel pencils work for me some days and other days don’t. I think it’s the paper. I need to get pastel mat.

I rejigged it last night because I thought his hand looked too much like a foot, plus some other tweaks. I really should wait before posting because this always happens.

I got a larger pack of charcoals, with more colours, and wanted to try using a bright colour paper. I think it’s worked out nicely.

I did some touchups and finally got round to fixing it and the spray has really dulled it down. I’m a bit annoyed about that.

A while back, I came up with the idea for a series of 8 drawings I wanted to do and excitedly went straight into the first one… then stopped. Tonight, I thought I’d continue, and bashed out the second. I just finished, and noticed the dates. Two down, six to go, expect the complete set by 2037.

Watched The Monkey the other day, a dark comedy horror about an evil mechanical monkey. Very good of you like Final Destination style stuff. 🐵 🥁

This was meant to be a Christmas present, but I was ill and only got round to doing it last week. As they’ve now got it in the mail, I can post it here - My dad and his wife as gnomes (which she loves).

Right, let’s bring everything up to date. A couple of weeks ago, I drew this thing for my daughter. If you play Fortnite, you know what this little guy is.

Forgot to post this a while back. It was my nephew’s birthday and he’s a big fan of Fallout, so I turned him into the Sole Survivor. I knocked it out in an evening, but wish I’d had more time, it doesn’t feel right and I don’t quite know why. - 100724

Tested out my new fountain pen, but still not brave enough to commit to using watercolours, it seems a lot of faff, so coloured this with markers. - 100524

In my ever widening search to explore different styles, I’ve bought a fancy fountain pen, a Platinum Carbon Desk Pen, along with some supposedly waterproof Carbon Ink. The plan is to outline and then watercolour, we’ll see how that goes. - 230424

I’m not convinced by the acrylics, I think I’d get more detail with pencils. I’ll give it another go at some point. - 110424

I’ve quickly realised that people are more than happy to receive art as gifts. Here’s a portrait of my Dad that I did for his birthday. - 130324
