I have added some more to the page above, despite me saying that it was finished. Well I lied. I took a long time over this one and ummed and erred over the background, then decided I didn't like it and painted over it. Then I decided, actually, that wasn't what I wanted either so painted over it again. I think I really need to leave it alone now. Stop. Cease. Desist.
The drawing below is my (possibly) completed 'snail page' that I showed you before. Here I did the background last (which is a bit silly I guess and makes NO SENSE, but whatever.) I painted it with a dry brush, so just dipped it straight in the paint and let it run out. It gives a nice 'scratchy' effect. I'll probably leave that great big blank space like it is and not draw anything on it. But I've said that before...
So here is the first page in my neeeew book, which is a work in progress:

Also, I have bought myself a longboard which I am learning to ride. Monty the cat is teaching me.
If Monty the cat is a good teacher, he should encourage you to skateboard AWAY from the pond or you will get a soaking. I have my doubts as to how good an expert he really is.....he may look like he's full of concentration and knows his stuff, but he doesn't convince me! He isn't wearing a helmet for a start.
ReplyDeleteActually he wasn't a very good teacher. He's riding it backwards for a start......
DeleteI really don't think it's such a good idea for Monty to be sitting on a wheelie type thingy right next to a pond .. he probably wouldn't mind if he fell in though would he, being bonkers like he is !
ReplyDeleteWell it did move a little bit when he was sat on it, and he didn't like it and hopped off pretty quickly. He wouldn't stand on it again after that! You're right though, he would probably quite like having a swim!
