I've been laid out the last few days with a cold, wanted to draw something to stay sane, my secret Santa gift from work was "the Top Trumps guide to Anime Movies" card game
Decided to use that for inspiration

Take a card, draw from it

First up, Astro boy
(I did shuffle)

Ok so I finished painting the guinea pigs, now to just get some frames and that's one present sorted

Kids will love them

All the pigs finished, Mochi, Cinnamon, and Thompson.. (the kids named them)

Should be able to paint them tomorrow, then just need frames..

Life update,

Get on well with new housemates, landlord works for the Police and is away a lot, other guy is pretty relaxed.

Getting into a routine with work, kids and life, and am still friends with my ex.

So the weather is absolutely mental outside.. perfect cinema weather...

Today is going to be hell..

Ironic that I try to be more active on social media, and then go quiet..

Sadly I've had to move out of the family home, my partner no longer felt the same way about me..

On one hand, it wasn't a totally horrendous breakup and we are trying to stay friends for the kids..

Let's do a proper hello,

I'm Gary, aka Hopeless, 42 year old father of 2.

I work in a cinema, i like to draw, paint (digital and watercolour) I paint miniatures, I like the gym and motivational t-shirts

#hello

Quick sketch of Junji Ito's Fuchi, Junji Ito is one of my favourite Horror Manga artists.

May tidy it up after work

Drawing weak areas seem to be female bodies... And hands...
And legs..

Basically anything below the neck..

#drawing #onepiece

I jump in and out of hobbies quite regularly, but the big 3 are always drawing, miniature painting and video games

Currently learning to use markers, just some cheap ones from Amazon..

Last week I drew the main characters of Mashle: Magic & Muscles

Well lets make more of an effort to actually be social on social media.

So if you like Anime & Manga, the occasional tabletop miniature, drawing (Traditional & Digital), Coffee, Gym, and random thoughts

Consider a follow

Got a another Sketchy Scribble, I like the name, it's sticking for the... Series I guess

I'm slightly worried about what goes on in my head at times though..

Time lapse of the... Creature? ...

No idea what to call it at this point

Determined to draw more this year, so trying to fight the fact that my mind goes blank when trying to do something that isn't copying...
Started off as a scribble
Ended as... This..
Kinda like it.. Just need an ideal of how to finish it

So 8 days into the new year, what have I been up to..

Have listened to the Abroad in Japan audiobook and made a start on Patrick Stewarts Memoir, make it so.

Really enjoyed Abroad in Japan, would love to visit Japan one day.

Make it so, finding it fascinating so far

#audiobooks

Goals for next year...

Draw more
Paint more
Post more

Nice and simple

Finally got an invite!

Now let's treat this the same as my other social..
Couple of posts then go back to lurking again
