General Scribbles

Stupid heroic dog, forcing me to do late night painting when I really wanted to play equally late night Morrowind!



Normally, when I choose to paint on a Saturday I'd usually do it in the early evening but you know how it is when Star Wars is on the telly. I can't drag myself away, even when it's the rubbish one. I just have to hang around for Duel Of The Fates. *sad person*

Well it's nice to see some background!

Yes, still only "some" background though.

Remember when I always used to paint to the edge of the canvas?
What crazy days those were!

Not really a background (spelt correctly this time!) but at least there's no blank paper/canvas.

crazy days are here again!

This one took waaaaay too long.
And I don't even know why. I can't even blame the hands!
Who knows where the hours went?



At least there's a cat in it.
It's never a complete waste when there's a cat!

Wasted too long on another doggy failure today and only left myself enough time to do this quick thing...

I've been doing some dreadful stuff recently. I think I've had four or five consecutive failures. Absolutely shocking! It's like I've forgotten how to paint and draw.

This one wasn't quite a failure. (But it almost was!)



I think I need to go back to school.

if it's sketches and studies, you can't fail! All practice is good practice

I'm learning so many new ways to do it wrong!

I'm suddenly reminded of when I was younger and I had a strange obsession with card tricks. I would spend far too much time with a pack of cards in my hand while reading through my copy of Erdnase, but despite all the practise, the only thing I ever got better at was picking them up of the floor when I dropped them all!
Thankfully I grew out of that phase.

But I'd still be happier practising things that actually work.
