3rd Oct - 8th Oct: THIS IS IT!

OMG!- these are the final days of the 100 day challenge. EPIC. It's been fun, but in a strange painful kind of way! Well done to everyone who undertook this challenge! 

26th September - 2nd October: It's the Final Countdown

 It all went a bit psychedelic towards the end of the week.... but mellowed out by Sunday

23rd - 25th Sept: Drinkies

19 Sept - 22 Sept: Up To Date!

 Finally... after much bulk posting, the blog is now showing my most recent illustrations. It was a battle through The Sickness, but in the end I won! 

12 Sept - 18 Sept: The Week of The Sickness

 It started out so well... i was really on a roll and then... i got really sick. but actually- the drawings for these days are actually pretty funny also!

5 Sept - 11 Sept

OMG!- after being bed ridden for 5 days, I'm back on my feet! time to get back into it so here they are- another weeks worth. by the end of the week I should actually be posting 'real time' illustrations- not ones from weeks past!

the Sickness

Yesterday i started feeling a bit done in. last night i had the chills and today i am layed up in bed feeling sick as a dog; god i hate getting sick. Never the less, as i won't be up loading any drawings, i pieced together this moodboard to show some of the influences on my drawings.

from top left: Japanese watercolours, Gustav Klimt, Tamara de Lempicka, Diego Riviera, Japanese Indian ink illustrations, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and in the centre, El Greco

29 August - 4 Sept

the tools

Your only as good as your tools....

These are the toys I've pretty much stuck to throughout: 2 mechanical pencils; 9mm Pentel P209 and 5mm Pentel P205. Pental HB leads for the 9mm, and Stabilo 2H leads for the 5mm which I picked a whole box up from the op-shop! only ever use Staedler erasers- in this case the Mars plastic shown below.

Paints are an old Windsor and Newton set, again I found them in an op-shop!

22 August - 28 August
