#kcd2 has completely taken over my brain.. I feel quite Henry
A semi-realist charcoal portrait of Tom Mckay as Jasper Tudor in the White Queen. He looks faintly quizzical. He's Henry of Skalitz to me, though.

While I'm not drawing much (booo!), I'm dropping in to say that I cannot recommend this book, Draw Stronger by Kriota Willberg, enough. It contains advice on posture, ergonomics, fitness and more for the working (or amateur) artist. Not sponsored! I just like making art and dislike being injured.
The cover of Draw Stronger by Kriota Willberg. It is turquoise and has an illustration of two people working at their desks. One is obviously in pain, the other less so.

If in doubt...
Person with long hair shrugs, covered in orange hair dye. Text reads "Guess I'll dye". Deliberate parody of that meme with the old man in the red sweater who says "guess I'll die"

He didn't do so well on his first time out, so I'm going to beam Julius Squeezer directly into your eyeballs once more. Behold my silly wrestling boys.

#art #oc
Brightly coloured painting of a wrestler in a slutty roman-esque getup with laurels, roman sandals and red shorts, putting a masked wrestler into a camel clutch. He looks incredible smug

Experimental skeet incoming: I usually read books two at a time and try to choose ones which compliment each other. My favourite "book pairing," if you will, from last year was The Master and Margarita and If on a winters night a traveller. Repost this with YOUR favourite book pairs? #booksky

These are some guys from a project I'm slowly chipping away at, Scott (left) and Sacha (the other one). I don't anticipate the script ever actually seeing the light of day, but don't be surprised if you see more of them. Currently they only exist on this scrap of card and in a big fat text file.
Two headshot-style pencil drawings of two white guys. The one on the left (Scott) has short and very messy hair, wonky ears and wide, rather pale eyes. He looks distressed. The one on the right (Sacha) has long dark hair, dark eyes, and a rascally grin. Presumably he is waggling his eyebrows at Scott.

What's up I'm still going bonkers and can't draw due to the wretched tendons, in the meantime have an strange old little picture. I saw something like this while I was out walking and wanted to paint it, but I can't decide if I like it or not.
Oil painting depicting a path uphill through a grassy field, leading to a tower behind a bank of trees, with highlights picked out very delicately to represent moonlight. A half moon hangs low in the sky

YEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! (u just got Oosered 👹)
The Dorset Ooser, a large wooden male head with large exaggerated features, painted eyes with black pupils, an articulated lower jaw and two rows of teeth. Affixed to the sides of the head are two long curved bull horns. It has shaggy black and white hair like a cow. The Dorset Ooser is meant to be worn as part of a folk costume once used in seasonal events. This is a replica of the original, which was once held in the Dorset County museum but has since gone missing.

Here's an unfinished messing about with an idea that I did juuuust before tendonitis in both hands stopped me from making art for a couple of weeks. I'm gonna leave it as is but I might revisit the general composition & vibes in the near future.
A very scantily clad man with a staff fights a blue snake which is coiled tightly around his leg. The background is red on the right , and black on the left.

Big day for odd guys (me) : picked this up in a secondhand book shop yesterday >:)
Front cover of a book. Text reads: T. E. Lawrence by his friends, New Edition 1954 edited by A. W. Lawrence. The late Field Marshal Earl Wavell: "He will always have his detractors, those who... [continued on front flap]

Gouache painting of three branches of a wild huckleberry plant, with red fruits. Depicted in various luminous shades of green to indicate light hitting the leaves from the left. The background is a dark green

Day 20 of #ArtAdventCalendar and it's one more portrait! T. E. Lawrence, or Shaw of Dorset if you prefer, done as a little experiment back in my wild-about-Kennington era. I'm not quite satisfied with the likeness but honestly, whatever. Enjoy.
Charcoal and white pastel drawing on green-ish paper. Depicting T. E. Lawrence, looking about forty. One corner of his mouth is raised in a very subtle smirk.

Day 19 of #ArtAdventCalendar.. Any Endeavour fans in the audience today..? Drew this the day after I'd taken a portraiture class where something just clicked and fizzed in my head and suddenly I could do it. I've gained a lot more control since, but I think this still stands up.
Charcoal portrait on white paper of a white man with short curly hair, wearing a tuxedo. He is smirking and heavily back-lit, casting most of his face in shadow.

Day 18 of #ArtAdventCalendar :)
Charcoal and white pastel portrait of a person with long hair and a square face, on buff coloured paper. Their hair is pulled back by a pair of glasses on top of their head, and their eyes are wide.

Day 17 of #ArtAdventCalendar and time for a moderately sexy saint Sebastian, study of a work by Carlo Dolci, c17th. A strong lesson against ever working so small again (his face is smaller than the pad of my thumb!) but a very fun project nonetheless.
Oil painting depicting a white man with long curly hair, undressed to the waist. Red and green fabric is gathered over one arm and around his hips, and in the hand on that side he holds a number of arrows. The other hand is raised and the fingers are slightly curled. His eyes are cast upwards imploringly, and his head is framed by a pale blue halo.
