here's a life study sketch i did i think on saturday - as usual its from a photo.  this one took quite a while and even tho its not very pretty i think it shows quite a lot of thinking. banemoo went over how to look at the negative space to get better proportions on the figure with me and helped me to correct it - it was really fun to do actually!

i've got quite into using my inktense watercolour pencils to add a quick bit of shadow to my life studies - i'll probably switch to bog standard watercolour pencils when these run out. its nice to actually be using some traditional media that are usually just laying around the house taking up space (most of my colouring and toning is digital nowadays...i've got whole paint boxes which are probably all dried up now o.O; )

today i had a load of errands to run this morning and i'm spending this afternoon copying files over onto my new hard drive. i really hope that'll be done by the end of the day as i'm very aware that each day i spend sorting my life out i'm not working on my 3D projects! >.<

since saturday i've been drawing more curvy girlies than guys, so i'll post some of them up in the next few days ^_^ 

its my 27th birthday on friday yay! i'm taking the whole day off to work on my neo comp entry *so can't wait* then we're popping to the pub for dinner when the guys get home from work (i've been trying to get them to come out the pub on a friday for weeks so this is my chance >:-)

my folks are visiting at the weekend which should be fun too! i think, apart from wishing i was better at art already, i'm quite happy to be nearly 27 ^_^ (i wonder if that will continue as the numbers get closer to 30 XD )
