My musical idol.

My dad and I have always loved Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters.

So, for Easter this year, I decided to pull out some skills 
I haven't used in years and drew this.


I'm pretty happy with it :)

I think I'm going to try drawing a set of my idols.

Proving why I should stick to watercolours...

I found some incredible bits of broken shell and coral over the weekend 
when I went away to Port Hughes.

I thought I'd take them home and have a go at drawing them.


I knew they'd be pretty terrible, but not this bad... 

But hey, at least I got some cool colour schemes out of it!
PS. white is in most of those colour schemes but due to dodgy photography, you can't see it.



I think it's best if I stick to water colours and not attempt drawing real objects.

Since my last post..

I was spoilt over Christmas. 

My amaaaazing boyfriend bought me the most amazing box of 
Derwent Artist Pencils. 
72 new babies to add to my collection!


I've yet to use them properly as I'm a little bit nervous to taint the perfection 
they currently hold in the shiny wooden box.
But I'm so keen to use them! 

I've even created a colour chart on black and white paper 
just to show myself how each colour looks for when I do get too keen and use them. 


So yeah, I'm pretty lucky!
Hopefully I'll created some masterpieces with them soon enough :)
