….just what you’ve always wanted….
…er….
…it slices, it dices…
…um….

Sketchy XIX
…at the top we have the “detailed” plans for what became my paintbox…
…below that we have me running out of ideas and beginning to fill the page with skulls and crossbones before remembering “Phil Mcandrew’s Big List Of Stuff To Draw”…
… somebody posted it ages ago and it’s a wonderful set of prompts for the stuck and (for me) usually ends up like….
…go seek it out….
…but only if you’re stuck.
…(and, no, the paintbox didn’t fit into a banana box when finished)….
Last Sunday
..went for a “picnic” at the scenic container wharf at Port Chalmers, NZ….
..fed chips to the gulls…..
…what could this be?….
…hmmm….
…ah…

…Dee’s band, Tiny Pieces Of 8, has a track on this….
…flicking thru it at the moment and there are some awesome tracks…
…check it out…
…(I may have added the googly eyes to the sticker)…
Paintbook 32
…not sure what the last word on shadowing will be…
…but I ‘m sticking to a firm maybe at this stage….
Paintbook 31
…so the rule was….
…outline in the red, filler in orange, “suckers” in lighter orange, outline in yellow….
…then, green, blue, indigo, and purple…
…all seven colours in order…
….(I’d imagine I’ll be aiming for seven of these all starting with the next colour outlines and proceeding thru the spectrum as I usually do)….
Sketchy XVIII
….below is an attempt to use the 8 colour pen in 9 x 3 colour combinations…
…a bit bland for my liking but the idea is pursued in paintbook for the next few “Paintbook” posts…
…(some results may vary)….
The Return of Paintbook
….well, we returned to sketch book yesterday, soooo….
…there…
…that’s more like it….
The Return Of Sketchy
…or “Sketchy XVII” in the parlance that was being used late last year when last I dipped into the the bottomless sketchbook….
….a continuance of the “aztec” octopus thing from the sketch book just on a year ago….
…(….really, Tony?….really?…a whole f**cking year?…..)….
….(….mmmm…notes to self….did I “action” those?….)….
…(…er….probably not…)….
A Question For The ages
…is…is…is that a clean hanky?….
…I’ll let you be the judge….
…lockdown + touristy-globe-thing + skeleton + skulls…..
…= interactive skull globe….
…(is that a clean hanky?)….
Not As Directionless As I Implied
….pre yesterday’s template piece….
…3 days later….
…outside the sketchbook pieces….
…to the right is a pre-template-ruled-line-felt-marker job…to the left is a post-template-with-new-improved-skull-size-standardisation-colour-pencil job….
….no, I won’t be making enough to paper the hallway….
…(or will I?)….
