Pffft, my dad confirmed my suspicions when I said the other day "Dad, can I sing?" and his reply was "hmmmm" Ta very much dad, he could've at least humoured me. Oh well, I'd like to think I can sing, even if only a little bit, I think it'd be ace to be a singer, but alas, I guess it's not meant to be.
I can however draw, like properly so you can tell what something is, not like some of this abstract artists who put a coloured line on a canvas and everyone coos round it like they have never seen so much talent all crammed into one piece of 'art'. My tutor pretty much confirmed this crazy idea that this sortof stuff is marvelous when I was trying to defend myself (for a change) and I mentioned that I can draw. The words that followed from her made me want to throw a cup of something hot down her dress. "well, we can all draw" erm no, no we can't. If nothing else that comment made me feel like my talent was worthless...we can all draw, hmmphhh.
Anyway, proof! I can draw in lots of different styles, I was a tattooist a while back, and at that time my drawings were very clean, with harsh lines that took me forever to perfect (I am a perfectionist you see, if the line is wrong I will redo it again and again until just right in those type of drawings, I've loosened up abit now). I still draw like this from time to time when people commission me to draw them tattoos (which reminds me, I have two of which I need to do).
Recently I have got into drawing women, they are soo beautiful to draw, and you can have so much fun with them. My favourite is this one, I love fantasy stuff, and I think it's so delicate, I have actually started painting it, which I will post another time. There are flaws, I know, like the hands, and the face isn't brilliant, but I love it all the same.
Over the last few weeks I have started drawing more stylized women, pin up's etc like this power dressing pin up, and my most recent burlesque (taken from a photo)
And finally, I would like to post this, as I am sure I remember rightly (hopes), this is someones favourite, or at least one he likes of mine, so it definately makes it worthy of a place here. It is just a cat illustration that I did when I was doing a disney brief at college :) Cat is making a love spell that smells really good, I coloured it to.
