We had another tutor on Tuesday, author and illustrator Alexis Deacon and he suggested I try doing some more tonal drawings, starting with the shadow areas and working outwards, until an outline appeared. I drew this guy in the library because he was working at a computer and stayed there for quite a while!
It was a really weird way of working, not having an outline to begin with, but I think it worked ok (apart from his face! I think I needed a sharper point on my pencil!)
I spent the afternoon in the market, trying out this new technique. Unfortunately, people there did not stay still and I found that I just couldn't get them down on perp quickly enough.
So I went to the Fitzwilliam museum. And three hours later...
I feel a bit bad that the horse doesn't have proper legs, but I was so hungry by that point, I had to leave!
That evening I dug out my pot of stag beetle pieces (I knew they'd come in handy!) and drew some of them too!

You were always good at detailed drawings, remember Legolas?
I love how you casually say "I dug out my pot of stagbeetle pieces" :P they look really good though, Its really nice seeing your uni work!
It's perfectly normal to have a pot of beetle pieces isn't it?!
