Welcome to Gaia! ::

Day # 15
Theme: Dragon



Comments: I would have liked to colour him in but this is the kind of paper that sucks the ink right out of my pens. I really MUST build myself a better sketchbook!

Day # 17
Theme: Ancient Ruins (Aberystwyth Castle)



Comments: Right on my doorstep!
The construction of the castle was started in 1277 and completed in 1289.
The stones in the front of the castle are Gorsedd Stones, the bardic circle of 13 stones - one for each of the old, pre-1974 counties - erected during the 1916 Eisteddfod. They form an integral part of the druidic Gorsedd ceremonies of the Eisteddfod.
Cromwell's troops demolished the building in 1646, thus preventing it ever being used again.

I'm possibly stretching 'ancient' a bit, but it is very old xd

Day # 19
Theme: Elephant



Comments:

Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
I make the earth shake,
As I tramp through the grass;
Trees crack as I pass.
With horns in my mouth
I walk in the South,
Flapping big ears.
Beyond count of years
I stump round and round,
Never lie on the ground,
Not even to die.
Oliphaunt am I,
Biggest of all,
Huge, old, and tall.
If ever you'd met me
You wouldn't forget me.
If you never do,
You won't think I'm true;
But old Oliphaunt am I,
And I never lie.
-J.R.R.Tolkien

Day # 21
Theme: Gems



Comments: Not something that I's usually draw. SO I went and found a tutorial, which was for photoshop, but I decided to have a bash with the pro-markers.

Turns out you have to do it all back to front if you're working in ink xd
Not a bad effort though, I'm quite happy. Might have a go on the computer later if I have time.
Not at all happy with the bleed on the paper though; bough a ream off the internet that is supposed to be good for inking and markers and it's completely not.

Day # 23
Theme: Disneyland (or "you can see the castle from here!" )



Comments: Many years ago we took a family holiday to Disneyland Paris. I swear my dad must have said "you can see the castle from here" about a million times.
We also set about ruining random peoples family holiday snaps by pulling faces in the background every time we saw anyone with a camera.
I think we invented photobombing before it was cool xd

Day # 25
Theme: Study: Transparent object (glass, water, clear plastic, etc)



Comments: Well that all got really abstract really fast confused

Day # 27
Theme: Spirit Challenge Part 1 - Create a Tutorial


Pipe Cleaner Fairy

Comments: Hopefully the link will take you to my DA page with the tutorial on.

Day # 29
Theme: Forest



Comments: This is the little forest on my bathroom windowsill.

WiP
I've been at it for well over an hour and I' not even nearly finished.
Have a feeling this is going to end up sprawling over onto a much bigger sheet of paper at some point.
