I need to shave my head

 


Little wing

  Hello again.

 I was forced to doodle in a different room and because I didn't plan ahead and took nothing with me I used a scrap of paper and an orange pen to doodle (it was oddly relaxing).

 Anyway have a great day.

On horseback they carried thunder

 Hello all.

 I really like the background image (more than the figure in the front). I need to play with layers more and push what I can do with foreground and background. Its frustrating but fun.

 Have a super day.

Eclipse

  Hello all

 I'm not sure where this is going but I'm having fun working on it even if it doesn't get finished. 

 Enjoy a splendid day.

Brain damage

  Hello all 

 I enjoyed working on this page, it's still not quite there but I'm moving in the right direction (I think)

 Have a great day!

Just some doodles

  Hello all.

 We enjoyed a lovely wander with the boy snoops and his owner in the rather splendid sunshine.

 It was my ever so beautiful K's writers meeting last night so I went to bed early but before calling it a night I doodled several sheets of A4 trying to get a character to look right. Of course that spiralled out of control but hey ho.

 Have a great day.

Sunday 18 February 2024

Last one for the day

  Morning all.

 I was a happy little soul when I was doodling these, I hope it shows.

 Have a super Sunday doing exciting things with those you love.

Crikey!

  Morning all.

 Alex the great Volk was knocked out last night!

 Hmm, just finished one of last nights doodles (I drew it watching a Frazier DVD), and I have to say I quite like it (I'm not loving the cover that I'm supposed to be working on).

 Oh hum

 x

 


Well that didn't go to plan!

  Morning all.

 So I had a plan to work on the cover and everything I tried just looked awful. So I'm taking a break and going to play with the furry gal to calm down. GRR

 The ever beautiful K is off into town with daughter #2.

 Have a great day.

Saturday 17 February 2024

It's a DDUBS morning!

  And lets hope Dan actually spends a bit of time doodling in this episode.

 Morning all.

 Watched the latest Grand Tour episode last night and I have to say I laughed several times but it was a tad too long. I may stick another one of the specials on today and try and break the cycle of watching the Murdock Mysteries (on youtube). I do love the MM though.

 Anyway have a splendid day.

LFC vs Brentford

  Morning all.

 After the news that Klopp was leaving I've found my interest waning in the season, also the proposed blue card to be used for a 10 minute time out in the sin bin which may work in rugby but makes me hate the powers that be in footy. I'm not sure what the game is coming to but I may not stick around to find out.

 I'll be checking on some cover work today, the client likes what I've done so far so it's just a case of adding people and little details so that it's all buttoned up for Monday and the clients final check. I'll then turn my attention to adding missing panels and changing certain things in the comic to get that finished for the end of the week and get it off my plate.

 Have a super day.

Sat morning dog walk

  Morning all.

 So instead of my usual relaxed approach to Sat I found myself cast out into the muddy fields with an excitable Honey. We had a glorious wander in the sunshine but met no one although we enquired about some chicken, the comic shop and if my little sis had finally tracked down an inner tube.

 I had a blast doodling this next sequence of drawings. Anyway here's #1.

Vaudeville is such a good tune

 Morning all.

 I guess its time to get up and start the day (sigh), doodles and comic pages to plan and chocolate to eat.

 I like this doodle.

 Have a super exciting day.

 x

 


Is a standard bike wheel 26"?

  Morning all.

 The above was a question that plagued me last night, thankfully google was on hand to help out and my sisters shopping trip wont be in vain (who doesn't love a trip to home bargins).

 Here's a very quick doodle from the other evening. Thanks to the ever so fetching K for taking these photos.

 Have a super day.

 x

 


Morning all!

  It's a lay in day for me, so I'm planning an assault on the days doodles. In the next day or so I'll post a bunch of pencilled pages for a project, but for now I have a bunch of sketchbook doodles to post.

 Enjoy a great day.

Thursday 15 February 2024

Last one for the day

  Hello all.

 I have a bunch more of these but I'll add them tomorrow as I want to pester the utterly splendid K. She finally sent me the selfies she took while slightly tipsy on Saturday evening while at a what can only be described as a drum and bass evening.

 Anyway I hope you've had a great day.

 x

 




I'm not going to stress.

  Hello all.

 So I'm working on a new comic for a client and I'm just going to do what he's asked for, nothing more or less. 

 I think the utterly gorgeous K is back from her wander with her ginger shadow, so I think I'll go and say Hi.

 x

 


It's so bright

  Hello all.

 I had a splendid stroll round the waterlogged fields this morning with M and A, Honey did well and didn't attack the small bundle of springer joy that is A. M is looking forward to his promotion but I think may need to read up on the laws before starting. Affray indeed, utter tosh.

 We even met a new dog who ran up to the ginger beast and wanted to play and game of chase and barking ensued, nice to see her with a new dog and have fun.

 Enjoy a great day.

 x

 


So this new light may have ruined taking doodle photos!

 Hello all.

 It may have ruined them because I don't want to use the utterly splendid light all the time.

 Oh the solo has just came on for the Wayfarer tune Vaudeville although its more a prolonged outro than solo it is utterly mournful and glorious.

 Have a lovely day.

 x

 


So the ever so lovely K has a new light

  Hello all.

 As the title suggests my Beautiful K has invested in a new ring light (yep I sniggered as well). I'll drop a bunch of the photos over the next few days while knocking some comic pages into shape for an upcoming comic.

 Have a super day.

Doodle of the day

 Hello all.

 I had a blast doodling this one, I was supposed to be roughing out comic pages so that I could make a start on the comic proper and get it off my plate. But I just wanted a doodle around mid-day and this is what happened.

 Have a fantastic day.

A none smelly Snoops

  Hello again.

 So on our last two walks with the good natured hellhound that is Snoops he's rolled in a dead deer! The smell is so bad even Honey didn't want to stand next to him, I thought N would be sick but he's made of sterner stuff. After the first morning of rolling in death I thought as we approched that field N would put the lead on Snoops, however I was wrong. N had badly misjudged the sirens smell of rotting meat and allowed Snoops to get into the field without the lead.

 We could see what was taking place and were far too close to N's verbal meltdown. The wonderful thing was throughout both of Snoops death rolls Honey had stayed by my side and watched on as her slightly insane boyfriend had the rolls of his life.

 Have a wonderful day and stay out of fields with dead deer.

 x

 


It's been quite a day!

  Hello all.

 So today I tried to draw several pages and complete some interior covers (I managed five pages and one cover so not too bad).

 Here's a doodle from the weekend.

 Hope you had a great day.

Saturday 10 February 2024

I need chocolate!

 Morning all.

 So beauty and the limpy one have returned from a short wander and are now laying in various states of repose downstairs.

 Here's my last doodle of the day.

 x

 


Stinky phone!

  Morning all.

 So as I got up to sort some food out for the ginger loon I discovered my phone has refused to charge!! I've sent my morning greetings to family and chums but it's annoying. Fortunatly I think I'll just be able to send my doodles to the blog directly which negates the need for the stinky phone!

 Beautiful K is out with the limping lass for a short wander and I'm watching the latest Friday with DDubs.

 Have a great day.

 x

 


Slow start to Sat

  Morning all.

 This will be an interesting start to the weekend as I have footy, rugby and some sort of dance thing to end the day (with of course by darling K). So not sure how much doodling I'll be getting done today, although I have a plan to take some paper into the dance gig tonight.

 6 nations and LFC try and bounce back.

 Have a super day.

Wednesday 7 February 2024

Migraine free day!

  Hello all.

 I still didn't go crazy but I started and finished a page for M and did a slight correction on yesterdays (I am however slightly miffed as my proposed cover has disappeared), sent S an almost complete wraparound cover to keep him up to date with progress and I've done the first seven pages in digital rough form to show A. I'm slightly happier with the state of all the projects now. A's is a B/W comic so I should be able to blast through it and push all the shadows and what not.

 Anyway here's a sample snippet of a rough from A's upcoming comic.

 Have a super day.

Tuesday 6 February 2024

Forgot about this one.

  Evening all.

 Last one of the day. Off to read a book and go to sleep at a reasonable hour tonight.

 The beautiful K is downstairs adding her book to something called ARC looking for readers to read her latest novel. We've been learning about tik tok and how to promote yourself and it seems to have been good fun so far.

 Night night.

Migraine days!

  Hello all

 I've had migraines for the last two days totally interrupting any real flow I'd been getting into drawing the comics. I get to finish one quick shortie tomorrow and then jump back onto older projects and get them cranked out  while all the while doodling up storyboard frames to try and find a style I like using the grey tones.

 Shattered now. More tomorrow.

Friday 2 February 2024

It's a lay in day!

  Morning all.

 I'm enjoying a glorious lay in while my beautiful K has taken the ginger lass out for her wander. We had a lovely evening last night curry and Police Force India which was wonderful.

 I'm working on a couple of projects today for some lovely clients who have been very paitent with me.

 Have a super day.

Thursday 1 February 2024

A new day and a new month

  Hello all.

 It's a bright and sunny day here, we had a lovely wander with snoops and albi and I'm doodling a long overdue cover for a client and playing with a bit of clip studio.

 The ever so glam K is off into town with one of the girls in tow. I'm thinking of going for some chocolate and nibbles. 

 Have a super day.
