For ConceptArt.org’s annual Self Portrait Day which was yesterday (November 1st) – This is the sketch and final piece. I think I like the sketch better actually. Didn’t have a lot of time for this one cos I only found the thread late in the day.

Before:

(do you think this is better?)

After: (and smaller too – meh)

Today’s drawing:

I was trying to draw noses. Think it turned out okay.

Sooooo – its Melbourne Cup this week. Got tomorrow off. Even though I had to work today. It was pretty busy at work despite there not being anyone there. So I got a bit done!
Tomorrow I will be hitting PoseManiacs and trying to draw some figures. Also might try and knock out Lorraine’s drawing AND work on the tattoo of Rizzo. Gonna be a nice quiet day inside DRAWING. Woo!

Other news – planted two of my little tomatoes today in their pots. Hopefully they start growing heaps soon. Yay! Just have to get some more potting mix for the rest of them.

Also – had our first dinner party sort of thing on Saturday which went swimmingly. I made little sandwiches filled with thinly sliced cucumber, mayonnaise, sour cream and dill. As well as cherry tomato, bocconcini and homemade pesto on crackers for entrees. Then the main course was roast pumpkin and feta risotto with thyme and toasted pinenuts. Phew! It was a winning combination and I was pleased with the results. Dessert was brought by our lovely guest -  lemon pots…basically a lemon egg custard baked in a water bath. So simple but DAMN they were awesome!

That’s all the news I got for now! Byeeee
