Week 11 and 12 - Lets just assume I'm always going to be late.

The first picture was me desperately trying to decide what to draw. For inspiration, I opened up a newspaper hoping to find some profound, soul-deep revelations to stir my inner artist. What I found was the president looking stoned, an advertisement for a tv show about a catering company, and a story about a woman who had hoarded cats in her house. Then I gave up and drew my shoe laces.

The second picture was from today, when I was reading The Hobbit, and the IMDB Trivia section for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And I couldn't stop myself. And it does count as drawing, cause that shit is hard to write without a calligraphy pen so shut up.

Week 10 - 04/04/10 to 04/10/10 LATEY mcLATE

I Love David Tennant. He was, and always will be MY Doctor. I used a reference of course, and the signature I found online and pasted it in. Nose is a bit wonky, but I don't care, I think it's a damn good likeness, probably the best and closest to the real thing I've ever done.
So suck it.

Week 9 - 03/28/10 to 04/03/10

I have been reading Sherlock Holmes novels and stories. Yesterday I read most of Hound of the Baskervilles (I still have about 30 pages left of it) and I was struck by how much Watson describes the moors. I admit I first had to look up exactly what a moor was, and discovered it's just a large expanse of uncultivated wasteland, usually dotted with bogs, and covered in a layer of heather. Exactly as Watson had described.

I drew several pictures of what I thought a moor would look like, none of which came especially close to the description of the Baskerville moor, but this was my favorite.

It's funny because this was the first attempt, and done with a bic pen no less.

And in case it isn't immediately apparent, that is not a river, but a road.

I think I will attempt a digital version of the moors.
