Managed to get a bit more work done on the tiger.The eye is probably too yellow, but can't fix that now. Really liking how the fur on his face is looking, still need to darken the values, but will do that when more of the tiger is coloured.

More Fish

More messing around with the gelli plate and the fish lino plate. So far with the gelli plate, I seem to prefer the ghost prints over the first pulled print.

Small Update

Image
  Got a bit of work done on the bridge of the nose,still need to darken some areas and put a layer of white and grey down so I don't make the lighter areas to dark. Working on this in between college work and unpacking boxes. Still haven't found the hair conditioner, but did find the toaster :p

Finished Watercolor Nude

Image
Possibly overworked some areas, but overall happy with how this turned out :) Now to draw a male nude, lots of stock photos to use on Deviantart, so its handy when you need to get a few extra drawings done. Nothing beats being able to draw from life, but sometimes you just can't, so photos are the next best thing.

Pics of Art, Still Snowing Out.....

This is going to take awhile :p The joys of using coloured pencils, must try to be patient lol   Started to colour the nude watercolour, liking how this looks.

Book Review

I recently finished " Trilogy: A Collection" by Prudence MacGregor. A collection of 3 stories with paranormal elements to them, with characters that end up questioning what is going on in the world around them.  All 3 stories were well written, but I found them too short. Yes they are short stories, but I felt like they ended too abruptly, that I was left with many questions that I wanted answered. It was frustrating how you were left with so many unanswered questions, and I felt like the author didn't give enough information in the story for you to even fill the answers in yourself. I wanted to know more about the characters,(even if the characters were written as seeming very introverted), and I felt when the story hit its climax, that was it. I wanted more. The writing on the back says each story has their own moral and life lesson, I don't think any of the stories were long enough to have moral or life lessons. Of the 3 stores, I found the second story,...

Boxes still everywhere

Image
A lovely gift from Norma , also had a packet of rub on tattoos. Must try not to put them on Sky (joking!). The start of what I hope to be a watercolour piece. Slow going because of all of the boxes everywhere and having to find art stuff, and my hand going numb. It very frustrating actually. I think I wouldn't be so frustrated about my hand if it just decided to stay numb, but this numb and not numb is getting on my nerves. Its like someone is flicking a switch to on and off, just pick a setting already! :p
