Tarantino2?

I also did this originally which I didn't think worked at first but looking back at it I quite like!

The sole purpose of starting this blog was to enjoy drawing for the sake of drawing & to try not to question what I am doing – something I do quite a lot with my work & stops me doing all sorts of things – anyway on Sunday afternoon while sifting through the internet for some reference for an Illustration I was working on I came across a picture of Quentin Tarantino & felt a sudden compulsion to draw – Here are the results:

Hell(Boy) of a first post!

Just for fun & the fact that I have been itching to do a drawing of Hellboy for some time - who wouldn't! - yesterday I went about creating one & here's the results. The first part of the drawing was done with a roller & an inkpad. Then I used a No.19 flathead brush & some black ink to fill in the details etc. I hadn't intended to do anymore with it but just couldn't resist playing around with it in Photoshop!

We have lift off!!!

Firstly! I noticed recently that I registered this blog in July 2008 & haven't done a single thing with it - BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! - So with the best of intentions I'm deteremined to make this blog a regular feature of my working week - Yipeeeeeee!

Secondly, the reason I have called my blog 'The Drawings & That!' is when ever I speak to family, old school friends etc. who are not in the business of Illustration, Art etc. they always inevitabely ask me "Are you still doing the Art & That?" - What 'That' is refereing to I have no idea but I did think in it's own funny way it made for a catchy title!

So anyway here goes:
