Feathers and a few movies

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Hi Everyone!
Hope you’ve all been having a fantastic easter and not gorging on TOO many eggs! Hahahaa kidding, eat away – I can’t deny anyone the right to eat chocolate. :-D
Things in our household have been typically non-traditional. No easter eggs here. I think I’m over chocolate in chocolate form. Unless it’s Koko Black of course. Everything else is too sweet. I am becoming more partial to things like icecream and cakes oh yeh. Yum!

We went to see Clash of the Titans in 3D – which was good. Well….No worse than I was expecting. Which wasn’t much. It wasn’t groundbreaking cinema….but nice for the Sam Worthington factor teehee. I think Avatar kind of ruined 3D movies for me at this point. Set the bar too high. There wasn’t much added to Clash of the Titans by wearing 3D glasses – Alice was the same. It would be more worth it for movies that are made entirely in 3D like that How to Train Your Dragon which is out now – or which use the same technology which Avatar did. So until everyone is making movies like they did with Avatar, I wouldn’t bother paying extra for the 3D screen.
I do like booking online though – No waiting in line with the plebs at Melbourne Central hahahaa.

Been watching a few other films at home. Most notable was The Wrestler – quite depressing but very very well made. Perfect role for Mickey Rourke. Also another surprising one called Pandorum. No idea where I found it but it’s great. A sci-fi flick set on a spaceship heading to a new planet found to possibly contain life, where things go wrong of course – their hyper-sleep schedule is messed up and they wake to a ship overrun by weird creatures. That want to kill them of course. Great tension and quite a few plot twists and a fantastic ending. I was very pleasantly surprised – as much as I love reading sci-fi, the movies can often suck pretty hard.

Well onto the drawing….This is what has been taking up my time – in the same style as the last one….Kind of don’t like it as much. Meh. But it’s okay I suppose :-D

Okay then well I better start thinking of what to draw next. And get some food. Hungry.
Seeyas!

Feeling more inspired!

Hi!

Finally I am no longer an apprentice! Thought I better tell you all that. Pretty proud of myself. I’m finally qualified and stuff. Though it will be a little while yet before I get my actual piece of paper.

Anyway – The last couple of days have been pretty busy. I’ve been flat chat at work and when I come home I’ve been playing my DS (my latest review on Cult-of-Pop is Here) – got a bunch of new games which are all so fun I don’t know which to play first. Is anyone else as DS obsessed as I am?
So that is why I have been off the web for a few days – Haven’t even been reading my blogs! *gasp*

Today’s drawing I am much more happy with than the last one. I drew the sketch for this the same time I did the sketch for the last one. It used to have her entire figure in it but I liked the face more so I cropped it down into a portrait. Also tried some new techniques – this time instead of using my usual pastels only, I tried charcoal and coloured pencil. Not natural media of course, but the Corel Painter simulation of these :-) I think these work really nicely together don’t you? The charcoal is soft and textured and the pencil is good for detailing. Will definitely be using them in future drawings :-D

It’s almost the weekend! Yay! I think we shall be going to see Public Enemies, the new Johnny Depp flick this weekend. Can’t wait to see it – Mr Depp is possibly my favourite actor. I’m also a major fan of Robert Downey Jnr and his latest movie, Holmes should be out soonish…So many great films coming out! Eeeep! (can you tell I’m a movie buff?).

PS…I’ve switched my comment system to Disqus – If it’s giving you any grief please email me to let me know. :-D
