I've been being held hostage by a dog

hence the lack of pictures. I wish i was joking.

Here is something from a while ago. It was an attempt to draw people (nooooooooo) and to use something that isn't a fine line pen (noooooooo) that wasn't black (noooooooooo)




I am not very good at teeth, there just ended up looking like there was millions of teeth that didn't really fit in the mouth. I know how to solve this though - don't draw open mouths

Laces suck unless they are in edible form



I can't remember when i drew this, or why i drew a bald egg type man in the corner. Both will remain a mystery i am afraid. What i can tell you though is that i will post a few more trainery things over the next few days or weeks but im actually getting bored of trainer drawings (for now anyway)

These will be my famous last words and i'll probably draw trainers again tomorrow. You can't teach an old dog new tricks and other such lame analogies.

I dedicate this day to drawings of less than respectable people




These 2 drawings were quick doodles and were heavily influenced by things around me. The first drawing is of a taxi driver. He looked kind of seedy and maybe like he taxi'd other things around too *wink wink nudge nudge* I quite like it as a drawing, i think i got his face just right for a change.

The second however can only be described as a monstrosity. Albeit one i am quite proud of. I overheard these two men talking on the number 5 bus just before christmas. The man i drew was saying about how he was buying his children their christmas presents and then went on to tell the other man about his friend, "the plastic gangster" who was all mouth and wouldn't do anything. He then went on to say he couldnt do anything because he couldn't end up in prison this close to christmas. I felt like a reporter as i snooped in on their conversation. The drawing is awful though, i was trying to show he had lots of wrinkles, greased back hair, was carrying several stones too many in weight and had these big eyes like a frog. I think in reality it looks more like Andrew Lloyd Webber <3

I have more drawings from buses with anecdotal stories to go with them which i'm very fond of. Maybe if i applied the same level of concentration and eagerness to everything as i have done other peoples conversations i would be more successful. Sigh
