It’s amazing how frustrated I get when I don’t draw. All of a sudden I sink into this crazy depression. It’s even more strange how my drawing craving ranges. For example when I draw/create stuff for work it’s as if it balances that desire to draw constantly. But nothing- NOTHING gives me more satisfaction like drawing personal stuff. I’m not talking about a little sketch here and there in the afternoons I’m taking about strange drawing fixations that has me waking at 7am on a Saturday morning to finish them off… Super sad I know.

Anwyho I did this sketch for an online competition. The theme was Excalibur so I decided to portray Lancelot and Guinevere. The idea stemed from reading about one of Lancelot’s battle and I liked to think that bloodied and beaten he went to Guinevere.I wanted her sadness to be transparent as she’s distraught that her lover nearly died in battle but also because she’s torn between the man she loves and doing the honorable thing which means staying unhappily married to King Arthur. Gotta love Love Stories! It’s a work in progress but I thought I’d share.

Till next time!

Did my theory test today and passed!

One step closer to completing my driving goal!:-)

Today I’ve been listening to “Sunrise On Pontchartrain” continiously- In case you’re wondering it’s from the Curious Case of Benjamin Button Soundtrack. I was in abit of a sombre mood because of the track and I suppose it made me create something a little sombre in tone.

It is another classical sketch. I’m determined to create one a week. It’s based on a lovely photo of a stone column I found online. I had the photo just sitting on my harddrive and thought I’d sketch it. Sadly I can’t remember where I found the image. But yeah- a quick sketch it took roughly 2hrs.
