Pictoral reflection

By Iain 12 July 2012Books, Creativity, Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I want to try and create a piece of digital art based on the media I consume. I finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? whilst on Jury Service, and since then, an image has been resonating in my head. I need to get it down on paper. I have loads of other ideas for pictures about books I have…

Self

By Iain 11 July 2012CreativityNo Comments

I bought this new pad in Asda, it's got creamy paper, really good quality, leather-bound and everything, and I really wanted to use it for some kind of project, but I was unsure what kind of project to do. Self-portraits scare me a little, so I decided to make it a book of me. You never really know what you're…

Lady Luck is always smiling on me

By Iain 25 June 2012Creativity, Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

There's the obvious things, like having two fully functional arms, two fully functional legs and a brain that works. I don't have any disfigurements, rashes or massive facial moles. I'm not socially disfunctional (while at the same time, I'm not exactly a social buttefly, but a happy medium), and I'm not completely unattractive. Then there's the less obvious things. Money…

DeviantArt

I am now on DeviantArt. http://eyess-78.deviantart.com/ I feel like I need to make a self-portrait - The Pac-Man avatar doesn't really convey the right image on there!

Tonsillitis

By Iain 18 June 2012Creativity, ReflectionsNo Comments

I have tonsillitis. It is not good. Jane has it, Myrtle has it, Claire has it, Lewis has it, Ethan had it - I feel like putting a black X up on our front door. I've had it since Thursday, and it is progressively getting worse. I will be going to the doctors tomorrow, for sure. I worked a 12…

Draw Comic Book Action

By Iain 10 June 2012Books, CreativityNo Comments

Draw Comic Book Action. "Techniques for creating dynamic superhero poses and action". This is what I need to learn! You would've thought that reading comics and admiring the images therein would teach me all the information that I would possibly need to do this, right? Well, it's one thing to defrost a bit of bread in a microwave, it's quite…

I’m not dead

By Iain 2 June 2012Creativity, ReflectionsNo Comments

I've just been really, really busy. Due to people going on holiday, I've been working far more than I'd like. I really must amend my availability contract... Have I mentioned that I've been drawing a lot recently? I can't think why I stopped in the first place. Well, I bought a Bamboo graphics tablet to enable me to get into…

Superheroes and Beyond!

By Iain 10 May 2012Books, CreativityNo Comments

Now I'm back into drawing and stuff, I feel like I need to build up a reference library. I used to have "How To Draw Comics: The Marvel Way", but I have no idea where it is now, I think my brother may have it. Whenever Jane and I used to go to Hobbycraft, I always used to go off…

I picked up a pencil

By Iain 11 April 2012Creativity, ReflectionsNo Comments

I did. I picked it up and I used it to make lines on a bit of paper. I feel... Good about this. It was the first time in many, many years I've drawn properly. I've been struggling with it for a while now, feeling like I'm wasting my life, hating almost every second of retail (but feeling utterly trapped…
