Let's get artful!

Washing on line! I started this yesterday but didn't finish it; it seemed to be something I wanted to take my time over and I had someone coming to my house.

I really wish I had a yellow T-shirt with a rainbow on it now! I do have some of these in real life: green long-sleeved top, green underpants, grey argyle socks, striped singlet... and orange flannel.

The top of the jeans is especially good, with the curve forwards at the back and the thre dimensionality of the fly, and you've even curved the belt loops. Well done!

[pebblerocker]

Thank you, I wasn't sure I'd do all right at that - and unlike upside-down T-shirt sleeves, I didn't look at the real thing hanging up to see how it went, except to look down at the jeans I was wearing to figure out which side of the fly went in front.

I particularly like your choice of sunny yellow paper. I can feel the sun drying the clothes. ;^)

[pebblerocker]

This pad of coloured paper is giving my drawings a variety of themes and feelings, it makes things a bit more interesting day to day.

I like the hang of the clothes and the clothes not being perfectly displayed like with real washing!

[pebblerocker]

I realised a short way into it that drawing washing is like hanging washing in real life: start by hanging out the bigger stuff, then put in whatever fits on the space that's left on the line!

[liadt]

I go for the socks first!

[tinderboxofaheart]

this is absolutely charming!

I couldn't find this pugilistic Adam Bede dust jacket on t'interwebz so I decided to kill two Arthur Donnithornes with one stone and attempt to naart it with reflections, which didn't satisfactorily work but at least the cover image is clear. The arty bollocks generator says: "What starts out as yearning soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of greed, leaving only a sense of decadence and the chance of a new reality."

[feng_shui_house]

It's still an arty photo. I like the lines of it, with the books leading up to the dramatic punch. ;^)

[spiralsheep]

Aw, thank you! I do enjoy naarmamo making me give everything around me a fresh examination.

[liadt]

I like how the reflections 'stab' into the Bede book like they are powering the guy on the right's punch:)

[spiralsheep]

Thank you. It took me sooo long lining up all the various angles to frame the shot. I kept moving the camera a few millimetres in different directions until I achieved That'll Do.

[tinderboxofaheart]

very cool and almost eerie, like an old photo!

[spiralsheep]

Thank you! Yes, secondhand books haunted by the ghost of an alley.

Ooo... interesting. I like the rooster best but the ? jaguar? is attractive to my eyes too.

Re: And the lazy sketch.io continues

[feng_shui_house]

Thanks! It's a jaguar, indeed. It's a cartoony jaguar because I was feeling like making it more cuddly than predatory. ;^)

Re: And the lazy sketch.io continues

[spiralsheep]

I shall imagine it as a plush jaguar then. :-)

Re: And the lazy sketch.io continues

[feng_shui_house]

Yes, that sounds perfect! It's lying in a store display waiting to be taken home and cuddled. ;^)

Re: And the lazy sketch.io continues

[liadt]

Aw! I like how you've suggested the form of the panda and the jaguar needs a cuddle!

Re: And the lazy sketch.io continues

[pebblerocker]

Rainbow Rooster is gorgeous, the negative space works really well!

Re: And the lazy sketch.io continues

[tinderboxofaheart]

great use of negative space!

I decided to do some fitting lettering for Shakespeare's Histories and then fiddled with levels to make it more horrifying!

[spiralsheep]

That second version rly does look 10x better, even without the shiny blood drip highlights of the first version.

fiddled with levels to make it more horrifying!

Shakespeare's Horrible Histories? ;-D

[liadt]

Thank you!

Kiddie killings, witches, revolting peasants, ill use of decapitated heads, dead bodies bleeding, deaths, deaths and more deaths, nah, they're not that horrible;p

[pebblerocker]

Beautifully gory!

[liadt]

Thank you!

[tinderboxofaheart]

fantastic, the second one really pops!

[liadt]

Thanks:)
