Penguin

Are penguins Christmas-y? I don't care, this one is. Just felt like doing something quick this evening. I'll see if I can find the time to do a pic a day for Advent.

December 1st

Seasons

I've been a bit busy lately, and any downtime has been spent watching things and playing video games instead of drawing, but I shall try and do something creative and personal for the advent/Christmas season. In the meantime, here's a photo I took.

24

I was going to try and do advent pic 24 before bed, but I've been out this evening and now it's Christmas. I don't want to rush another pic and I don't want to be cranky and sleep deprived tomorrow. And since my pics have nothing to do with advent, really, so I hope you'll forgive me if I finish the series with the final two pics on Christmas evening or boxing day. I hope you'll have plenty of things to distract you tomorrow anyway. Have a good one!

Advent | 23 | Bill

Advent | 21 | Dead Men Tell the Trails

A bit of a speed painting. I didn't bother with any reference imagery, so my medical and forensic art graduate friends will probably be quick to spot the inaccuracies in this drawing. I've spotted a few myself now, looking back on it.

Advent | 9 | Lit a Fire Under Him

This was originally just a rope bridge over a canyon, because a rope bridge never fails to put me on the edge of my seat. But it just wasn't interesting enough to look at, and guy-I-don't-have-a-name-for-yet just wasn't standing out from the ground. Rocks, plants or water could have helped, but they're too calm and pleasant - as if hanging off a bridge didn't already make the scene dangerous enough. Lava also adds an additional element of "where is he, and what is he doing there?"

Also, I've decided to switch to four fingers for these guys. The more realistic I draw hands, the weirder it looks to have just 3 fingers.

Advent | 8 | Grotesque

I'm not sure what I was channelling here, it just came out.
