My Pal Sammy Told Me Recently That Shes Having Trouble Drawing Trees, So I Made Her A Cheat Sheet Showing

My pal Sammy told me recently that she’s having trouble drawing trees, so I made her a cheat sheet showing the major visual features of 8 common British trees. Whatever you want to learn to do, someone on the internet already knows how to do it and has made a tutorial. XD

Inktober 2017 : Day 26 - mapping pen Like the leaves on his tree, Sweetpea’s ear frills turn brown and fall off in Autumn. Also like the leaves on his tree, they don’t tend to go at the same time. Three pictures in one day! The consequence of not always having access to my scanner.

Is there still time for another Mermay picture? I should probably admit I drew this last year, it was a birthday card for a friend who likes mermaids and ocean imagery. (Although she’s also one of the only people I know who can’t swim.) I love drawing the ‘white horses’ on waves.

A picture I did for @niuniente of her webcomic character Fuzzy, for her birthday a couple of months ago. I sent her the original so I didn’t want to post a scan until I knew it had arrived. I love drawing characters who are always in silhouette, it’s a challenge to make sure it reads correctly once the black is filled in. Fuzzy is a mysterious creature who lives in a temple, where a professional Seer named Irene tries to stay on top of her work while various magical forces try to entangle her and her shadowy guest in strange and opaque schemes. The webcomic runs on webtoons and tumblr if that sounds like your cup of tea!

Today on ‘I love spot colour and anime’, my two favourite pro heroes from My Hero Academia, Eraser Head and Present Mic. (Previously on ‘I love spot colour and anime’ - Hōzuki no Reitetsu)

Inktober 2017 : Day 30 - ink and water I wanted to do something fancy, but I have another cold! Oh well. One of the reasons Nat wears his hair so long is that it’s actually usefully prehensile. Very helpful when your hands are full and you told your sister to stay where she is.
