Kittys Drawings

….my sketching.

Damn I need it too! Been working so hard on this commission that I’ve just been itching to do something quick and loose. To get back into the hang of Painter and familiarise myself with its colour pallette and brushes.

So that explains my slowness of posting lately. Been working tooooo hard. Got another commission to finish off soon but that shant take me long and my client seems super happy with what I’ve done so far so that makes ME super happy too! Yay!

….Anyway, if you dont know what this is, its a quick sketch off a John William Waterhouse painting of Ophelia. which took me about 45 mins. Did a sketch of it yesterday and painted it today. Feels soooooo good to just do things roughly and hack in those colours. Hehe.

Other news….Its HOT today. Meh. 39 degrees celsius. Its almost Christmas. I am one of those stooges that isn’t very Christmassy – not that I dont like the season, its just that it doesn’t get me excited. No Christmas tree for me and no family do – Would love to visit the folks but its not always possible every year. I plan to go visit early in the New Year though when the weather is a bit nicer over there and the silly season is truly over So for me and the boy it will likely be a quiet day in where I might make something yummy.
Then new years is always something best left to the last minute.
What are your thoughts on the silly season??

It’s not quite her yet! A mate at work wants me to draw a sketch for his wife’s next tattoo. She wants Rizzo in this pose. Awesome fun to draw! I haven’t finished it yet – just getting the pose right. Which isn’t quite right yet….The feet need work! Doh!

Then add the right clothes and the right face. Hehe.

I drew this on the train home. Took about 25 mins tops. Inlcuding the first sketch I did which was terrible and too big to fit on the page. So I only show you this And shuddup I know her hands look like claws! Boo! My travel sketchbook is only A5 and with my dreadfully scribbly sketching style it’s hard to do details when I’ve already charred up the page with my heavy mechanical pencil lead. So there

More to come tomorrow! I’m halfway through painting a cucumber in Photoshop. It’s going to turn out better than the cherry. Compositionally at least!
Lots of mad crazy posting huh. Seriously can’t stop thinking about drawing lately. Consumes almost ALL my thoughts.

Byeeee
