Quick Draw Tuesday (sorry its late)

Oh dear i completely forgot about the quick draw challenge today. Sorry folks!
Never mind there is still time so lets get to it.
Once again if you don't know already then heres what its all about:
Every Tuesday at 10am (unless like today, when i forget) i'll announce a thing/object/item to draw, which has been selected at random by a 'random word generator' - so even I won't know the subject matter until a few minutes before.
I will then draw that thing/object/item and if any of you lovely folks wish to take part, you can also draw it and send it to me as a JPEG image either by email to lucyfarfort@yahoo.com or comment on the post with a link to your drawing that I can download from the internet.
I'll then post all the submissions at the end of the day for the world to see, normally around 5pm (UK time).  No prizes, its just for kicks.

If you want to take part there are 3 rules:
1. You must draw without any external visual reference, so from mental reference only.
2. You must draw it in a time limit of five minutes.
3. You must draw it in pen straight off. So no drawing in pencil and then tracing over the line.

So today's randomly picked object thingy is:

STEREO

Back later with the result(s) ^__^

Character sketches

Been working on some sketches for one of the story's main characters Mr Torian, thought you might like to see a few:

This character is the priminister in the story so i've tried to make him look like a conservative MP. Actually I modeled his hair and shad shape on a very well known current political figure. Wonder if you can guess who ;-)

Latest children's book illustration

Happy Friday All!
Today I want to share with you my latest illustration for the children's book which my friend and I are collaborating on - him as the writer me as the illustrator (obviously).
I've been working on this one for a while as i've had a lot of distractions recently, such as producing the invitation for our wedding and other stuff which has meant like the previous image (blogged about here) its taken me a long time to complete.
Anyway i'm pleased its finally done and I can move onto the next piece, so here it is:

Thats all from me today, short and sweet.

Quick draw challenge results

Oh well just me today as i didn't get any entries. Perhaps its because everyone was scared of my drawing prowess - hahahah yeah right! One thing is for sure that most certainly isn't the reason.

Okay so this is my rendition of a python:

Ahem...well yes it went a bit wrong in places, I think its fairly obvious where, but hey it could be worse.
Byeeeeee!

Quick Draw Tuesday

Hello arty, doodley folks its that time again. If you're new to the concept here is how it works:
Every Tuesday at 10am i'll announce a thing/object/item to draw, which has been selected at random by a 'random word generator' - so even I won't know the subject matter until a few minutes before.
I will then draw that thing/object/item and if any of you lovely folks wish to take part, you can also draw it and send it to me as a JPEG image either by email to lucyfarfort@yahoo.com or comment on the post with a link to your drawing that I can download from the internet.
I'll then post all the submissions at the end of the day for the world to see, normally around 5pm (UK time).  No prizes, its just for kicks.

2. You must draw it in a time limit of five minutes.
3. You must draw it in pen straight off. So no drawing in pencil and then tracing over the line.

Right here we go!
Today's randomly picked object thing is:

PYTHON
Go go go!!
Look forward to seeing your submissions. Have fun and check back later for the results.

Folksy Friday - A triple awesome colour combo!

Pale/mint green, pale pink and white are a winning combination, theres no doubt about that and I thought I would prove it in today's post by way of a Folksy Friday showcase. They're really great colours for spring so perhaps it'll banish the winter chill from your bones for a few brief moments, until you (if like me you live in Newcastle) look out the window at the cold grey sky.

Ahhhhh... that made me smile, I hope it had the same effect on you :)
Oddly enough looking at those colours has made me want ice cream......maybe later.
Happy Friday and check back on Tuesday for more quick draw action.
