Kids do the darndest things meme

I was tagged for a meme by Adi, er... um... some months ago and around that time blogger turned off my send-blog-comments-to-my-email so I've only done it now, having checked my blog and found (wow!) comments. I didn't think anyone looked because I am so slack at posting.

Anyway I've done this in the Rudolf Steiner/Waldorf aesthetic. Since one of the rules of the meme is to use no pencil preparatory sketches I thought doing it just with the 6 watercolour colours would somehow be appropriate. I went to a Steiner school and all we could use was cool and warm primary colours and certainly no pencil. It was strictly straight from the imagination to the paper.

This is very different to my usual style, but it was valuable to do. I think I might try outlines in blue...if I ever do colour work.

Thanks Adi for tagging me!

10 Years Ago Meme

Yikes it's been four months since I last posted something on this blog. That's bad. It seems like I've had a relapse and taken once again to shooting up procrastination in dark alleys. But with this post I hope I am on the mend. Here is the 10 years ago meme, also posted on Comic Artist Rehab. This was done without the use of pencils and thus erasers. It was tough and it took many lunch half hours to complete. Click on the image to get a bigger image that you can actually read!
