Posted on September 15, 2010 by Guthlac

Drawing Days

Posted on September 10, 2010 by Guthlac

Not feeling 100% today so I decided to take it easy and just do some drawing with real materials. As usual mixed bunch – frustrating but very satisfying. I hope tomorrow I’ll be firing on all cylinders again. Simon Marchini LRPSWeb: http://WWW.sim… Continue reading →

Linda 4a

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Guthlac

Lessons learnt I have abandoned Linda 3. The day away has helped me to sort out some of the problems with 3 and so have embarked on Linda 4. She is another step forward and she is starting to look like a real human being. By keeping this record it… Continue reading →
