Some tiny wobbly sketches from Race Day at Shuttleworth aerodrome. I found myself continually attempting the double finger tap undo shortcut on the sketchbook page, it's been a while! 😬

Yesterday’s sketch in Verulamium Park. I only managed 3/4 of the trees yesterday, and finished the rest off today. In the wind I could hear a fantastic blues band playing from the pub beyond the trees… #stalbans #Verulamium

The BBC Dramatisation of LOTR was my 'wardrobe' into Middle-earth. Plus I was born on a Saturday night in the Spring of 1981, and my Dad listened every Sunday, so it may be my first literature experience!
Here is a thread of the lovely artwork by Eric Fraser, for the Radio Times.

Continuing on with the Nomad Sculpt for beginners course (by SouthernGFX) - the mean old Dickensian gent now has eyebrows, a slick hairdo, lamb chops and a floating chain.

Have been continuing with the Nomad Sculpt tutorials, although I don’t plan on creating stuff like this I’m enjoying the process. Looking forward to seeing how my blobby people will look in 3d. 👍

A new acquisition - the Beatles by the great John Byrne, I couldn’t find a print anywhere so settled for this 1980 album cover. 🎶
