General Scribbles

It's my fault for mentioning TV in the scribble thread. (I ended up watching Game of Thrones DVDs.)
And that's a very late message, Charlotte. Or a very early one. It makes me feel tired just looking at it. *yawn*

I rewatched the Batman/Superman one the other day. It's a film that does get better with repeat viewings, especially if you've seen Man Of Steel. The first half is surprisingly good but it does become silly and boring when all the big fights start happening. But it's way better than Suicide Squad.

Talking of the silver screen, well kind of. Here’s my attempt at the late great Alan Rickman.

I like Alan Rickman. And I like this.
Not only is it a likeness, it's a double likeness! And it all works very well.


And I think that "weird" bit in BvS is a flashforward to the next movie. But I had to look it up cos it made no sense to me either.

This one didn't go quite as I wanted. Some of the proportions are a bit off (a bit?!? ) but I didn't really have the patience or time today to work through all the problems.






EDIT: And I was in such a bad mood the other night that I forgot the video link.
Or maybe I didn't forget and I just didn't like it!

Well personally I don’t see much wrong with that at all Val. The colour and form of the hair is fantastic.

Finally got round to ‘finishing’ this. I struggle with landscapes so much. Probably because I don’t approach them in the same way I do other drawings. No matter how hard I try I just can’t seem to grasp the fact that they are just like anything else I do, a series of shapes and colours. Weird huh?

I don't really do landscapes either. I do have some filed away somewhere, I think I did them more back in the day when I was trying to learn watercolour. I guess the larger blocks of colour and space were easier to simplify which allowed me to concentrate more on the technical side of actually learning how to paint. And once I got past that then faces always seemed to interest me more. (And we'll just continue to ignore hands.)

Anyway, did I mention faces?

Not Digital....



Digital...


Moving Digital.

Good stuff Val, what’s the not digital one done with?

Started this today. It’s still pretty basic but I’m thinking of doing a number of them based around mythological creatures.
