Posted on February 18, 2011 by Guthlac

Not sure whether this is a very good drawing? I seem to have rushed this and wasn’t too concerned about proportions so I can’t say I am too happy with the result. I even don’t think the post production on the iPad worked. So as usual this has left… Continue reading →

Posted on February 12, 2011 by Guthlac

King Kenny’s eyes

Posted on January 16, 2011 by Guthlac
