I did some harry potter art

So I actually got round to doing some art today... The snitch is acrylic paint, the same colour, just layered up, and the writing is ink writen with a paint brush

The marauders map is just ink written with a brush, on parchment style paper...

I'm useless

So I've been prety useless at keeping up with this, Bur hopefull now I'm home for the summer I can really get going on it, I spent last week in Wales with no internet of a field course for ubi, so I have a few ideas from that, but I've just started reading harry potter again! So here is fawkes, because he's pretty. I did him in acrylic paints on water colour paper (possibly not the best idea)

Tibra... Or ziger

Here is something I've been working on this week, I should have done him higher up the page to get his rear feet in, but I suck at equine feet any way.. basically this stemmed from the fact that both tigers and zebras are stripey :)

I Suck!

So it turns out that I am useless at writing a blog. I kinda figured this would happen any way which is why I said I would upload things every week, but right now I have all of last weeks art to do :p so what I am going to do is spend all afternoon drawing this idea I have using various media and see how it goes. You will see the results later this afternoon, or maybe tomorrow :)

A mission for references

I am going to go and collect some reference pictures today. If I am to do this for a whole year I am going to need to vet used to drawing from either my own pictures it from life, now I know full well I suck at still life drawing, and I like to draw animals and well, they aren't particularly still. So I am off to the zoo to take some pictures and then I will draw one on the train back :) well, tbats the plan any way. I will be taking the pictures on my phone because I dont have a camera, but it's not too bad for taking decent pictures so long as I dont zoom in too much, and seeing as im going to the zoo hopefully I can get nice and close to the animals :)

Welcome

Hello :)
Welcome to my new blog, I will be using it to post the art that I do, I have decided that I am going to try to do at least one drawing or painting or piece of digital art or something arty every single day. Basically I used to love to draw and paint and it helped to de-stress and things so I have decided I want to start it up again. I am not a particularly good person at doing things when I say I will so I have decided to challenge myself. I'm not sure how long to challenge myself for though; maybe until the end of the summer when I come back to Uni? or even longer? I could do this for a whole year! that would be interesting.

I know this blog isn't going to be updated daily, but hopefully I can manage posting every week, with 7 pictures. That will also give me the chance to catch up if i miss a day or two :)

Right, what should I draw today?
