Better red than dead

as the saying goes.
Super long right  elbow- ah well.
I could fix it in photoshop- maybe I'll do that.
Still its all practice right?

Graaa!

Kind of ogre thing on very very rough handmade paper.
Might do another pass of watercolour on it,- it just soaks in  and gets lost.
Also need to make sense/resolve the thing around his middle.

Purple people eater.

I think the problem with doing a barely visible loose drawing to start with is that its only once its coloured can you see just how wrong some bits were. Loose but not wrong- that's the goal.

Also when it comes to shading you realise how using reference would be a good idea- gets a bit cagey without.
Well you could try to  reference on the internet for your silly tentacle homage......... but why spoil it?

Thankfully I'm using these little watercolour blocks- no stretching of paper- so for me that equates to less stress about screwing it up (because it didn't take 2 hrs to wet,tape, stretch and dry the paper only to screw it up-  )

Orrible troll thing.

I need to get out and do some exercise myself-
but I injured my groin trying to play 'social' soccer about 8 days back.
Hopless to try and get any sympathy from an injury when you mention 'groin' though.
No offers to rub it better- just laughter.
They call it social but when you pit untrained unskilled unfit 45 yr old against 22yr olds who actually play soccer......

Anyway- troll is in worse shape than me- thats all you really need to know.
