Giraffe cartoon

Trying to create more interesting drawings with structured pose and even though this is a simple cartoon, I am happy that it has a nice feel to it, even though I forgot to draw the ears! I am klutz sometimes! Anyway, hope you like it!

Wacom Inkling

I now have a Wacom Inkling!

At the moment I have it on charge so that it will be ready for use later today!

The Inkling allows you to draw/sketch/doodle with the pen supplied, which is like a biro pen, the drawing you create with the pen is stored as a digital file in the master unit that is attached to the paper.

You can then connect the master unit to your computer via USB and download the file to either Photoshop or Illustrator.

I am sure I will love it and later this week will have a review video up for you to watch.

So keep an eye out for this later in the week!

What a month!

November has been great! The ISCA convention was a big success and it was wonderful to meet so many artists and many friends, making many new ones too! I'm back home from Florida now and working through my jet lag! Next week I shall start blogging all about the convention and more caricature news! So please do come back soon! The caricature here was drawn at Orlando international airport, a guy called Geoff with Downs sat next to me and seemed a little sad so I drew him and he lived it! It is so nice to make people smile!

Fish cartoon

I don't know why exactly but I really enjoy drawing and sketching fish! I find it is good practice and lots of fun making up new types of fish! Who knows, maybe there is a fish like this one somewhere in the ocean! Do you have a favourite animal or subject that you like to draw?

St.Paul's tents in London

The protesters who have pitched up their tents outside St.Pauls cathedral in London have caused more of a problem for the church than the actual reason they are protesting for!

The church has been shown to be misguided in its response to the situation and it's christian values are in question as they have not put their faith into action, period!

The funny thing is, the church is part of the corporate greed make up that the protesters are fighting against. Yes it is true! Only two years ago the church gave around forty million pounds of its money to an investment project that bought a property in New York but the recession and market collapse meant that every penny of that was lost. The very investment was immoral as the building purchased was home to many long term residents who had lived there for many many years but they were to be evicted to allow a refurbishment of the building, which meant that any new tenants would have to apply for accommodation there with a heavily increased rent. That would have meant the existing tenants would not have been able to afford the new rental costs to continue to live where they had been for sometime.

In effect the church would them homeless! Not exactly Christian eh?

So beware the church, they are not all that they seem in their softly spoken manners!

Cartoon face

Drawing everyday is the best practice you can have to make it easier to draw and also improve your skills. It is also great fun!
