Days 22 - 29 // 365 2015

 
Day 22 - Listening to the 'new' Paramore album using the playstation and telly. The day after I bought it they announced an 'end of this album tour' type thing. I'm always so on trend and up to date.


Day 23 - Money plant in the morning.


Day 24 - Late night 'I haven't taken a photo' photo.


Day 25 - Photographing some new cuties.



Day 26 - Doing the boring jobs on the to do list.


Day 27 - Bad photo but this strawberry was so fancy.


Day 28 - It arrived! I've been so so excited about this and then we missed the delivery and had to wait for it to come back but now it's here and although I haven't started reading it yet it looks so awesome.


Day 29 - Sitting in a yarn nest waiting for legs.

#NonIdentikit

On twitter last week Sarah McIntyre was talking about how the illustrated faces we see of beautiful female characters are often all essentially the same and how this shouldn't be the case. Where are all the wonky noses and strong jaw lines that we see in real life beautiful women? She started the hashtag #NonIdentikit and challenged people (and herself) to draw 20 women that break from the mould in some way. She wrote a blog post about it which you can read here. It's such a good idea so I immediately joined in. I really enjoyed this, hence there being 22 rather than 20.



I think I try to draw all sorts of people anyway but I definitely think doing this will have helped me to remember even more to include all sorts of faces while I'm drawing. Some of these are drawn from photos and some I did out of my head. If you decide to have a go then leave me a comment, I'd love to have a peek.

Days 15 - 21 // 365 2015

Day 15 - Oops. I spent all day thinking, "remember to take a photo" and then never did. Luckily (?) I took this crappy self portrait so it wasn't a complete fail.


Day 16 - This daffodil is pretty hardcore, it's been cold and frosty but it just keeps getting yellower.


Day 17 - Some hugs in progress.

 
Day 18 - Will working on the studio.



Day 19 - On my way home from the city.


 Day 20 - Before bed. At least it's not a grainy front camera phone pic...



Day 21 -Too gloomy today to take proper photos of these guys but I had to at least try and show them off. They're too cute.

Projector Love (and a tattoo studio)

Decorating is well under way at the new tattoo studio. I'd only seen it from the outside so on Sunday I went along for a nosey while Will did a quick second coat on the plane. I fell a little in love with the projector.



I can't wait to see it finished, it's going to look amazing. I'm sure it'll be worth all the waiting and work the guys have put into it.

Days 9 - 14 // 365 2015

Sketchbook ~ Ham

It's been a while since I've shared sketchbook bits. These are from the last little books I'd been keeping in my bag, I started the new year with a planner / bag sketchbook in one so I spent new years eve scribbling away to make sure I'd used these all up. The new years eve scribbles aren't here though, I saved your eyes that.







We love ham. Who doesn't though.

First Weekend

Mum and Dad came to visit the first weekend of the year and aswell as giving us lots of lovely things (thank you ^_^ ) we went out and about for wanderings.



We got to the river at the perfect time. The combination of sun and stillness made for the most amazing reflections. It really looked like the water was super clear and you could just see the secret underwater bridge that you now totally believed existed.




We went to feed the ducks and there were a tonne of gulls hanging around and it turned out they were pretty adept bread catchers. It was amazing how they could swoop in and turn to catch the food.
