Photoshop sketch + printed and inked version (as posted on instagram) of a drawing based on this Lou O’Bedlam shot. Drawn last October. For whatever reason I had never posted this before.

Anyway, I should really draw more often.

I also went through a phase last year where I printed out Photoshop drawings and touched them up with ink. Makes no sense, right? Yeah, I’m just super logical like that. Original drawing done in February and touch-ups in, September? Probably? Maybe one day I’ll even get around to colouring it.

Posted earlier - and the reference of course is by the great Lou O’Bedlam.

Incidentally, it was that exact photo that Michelle and I ogled and declared we would one day take pictures of that level of awesome right before we went out and took this picture. True story.

So, at the repeated behest (actually weeks of nagging) of my hetero life partner, I made her a logo for her website. I used the pen tool for the first time in god knows how long aand did a terrifically half-assed job of it too, if I do say so myself. Then I spent all the time I should have spent on better linework messing around and nitpicking insignificant details. If I was as meticulous as I ought to have been for this kind of work, I’d probably have a breakdown. Some graphic designer I’d be.

But anyway, you should all go check out Michelle’s website now with her ~new logo~ and loads of pictures of me, because you really don’t get enough of that here, do you?

Hey look I drew a thing.

Attempting to colour but apparently colours are haard sigh.

Re-worked version of this old Yvonne sketch.

Printed out, inked in purple, black, grey and white pen, scanned + velvia sky photograph (thankyou Michelle) superimposed in Photoshop.

Ain’t technology grand?

I tried drawing something in Photoshop for the first time in, let’s say… three weeks?

I worked on this for about three hours and then went “Hey, you know what would be fun? Not doing this anymore.”

STILL, I CONSIDER THIS PROGRESS. It’s better than a ten minute post-it drawing! (I hope.)

Here’s a sketch.

I tried to work from darks (or rather that bright-ass magenta) to lights. It sort of worked, kind of, right?

Since I’ve been feeling like I cannot draw anything remotely good lately, here’s some unfinished (but still clearly a lot more complete than recent work) BSG fanart, which I might, actually who am I kidding, I will never finish this up.

But yeah, you know, Six = drool-worthy.
