Christmas card

Basically this is a rehash of another design I did in 2009. I might try and think up something entirely new.

Haunted by Bowie

I've drawn Bowie before. Shown here Though there are bits about it I really love, the skin and the eyelids in particular. It has details that I cannot stand, the white lines more specifically. They stand out and distract from the image, also the lightening didn't work as well as I had first imagined.

That's kind of what I mean by being haunted by it, it was a missed opportunity, though it was only a sketchbook drawing. I knew it could be more successful.

So here is a watercolour sketch that I did this morning. It took about 40 minutes to do. With lyrics from Dance Magic. I know it's not Bowie's best song, I love Labyrinth though.

New paintings

 I get a concept in my head that I can't shake, I can't get rid of it until I get it out as drawing or a painting.Regardless of the quality.

Thoughts

I've been painting quite a bit and I always get it into my head that I'm not doing any regular drawing because I'm focused on the painting side of things.

To keep me doing some kind of drawing, I started drawing these little pictures, usually on the train journeys to and from work.

My thoughts always bug me, and I always give myself a hard time about them. Especially about things I regret and bad decisions I've made. I suppose it's like my conscience reminding me.


 I guess it is quite negative, though I cannot change my thought process and I hope it will help me learn my lesson. I have lots of regrets, none more so than events of the last 3 years. This is my way of dealing with it.

Angel

I had a idea for an angel drawing. I did it quickly one morning.Ideally I want the arms to be more distorted and twisted. I'd need someone to pose for me, to do it properly. I have since done some thumbnails of the next stage for this doodle, I'll attack it one day.
