Day 4 (Favourite Place) + picture update + scandal

Like a lot of the favourites, when put on the spot I couldn't think of my favourite place, not sure if I even have one, so here's one of the places I like. Not really sure how readable it is so if you're having difficulty seeing what it is tell me and I might explain.
My picture of Emma Watson is coming along nicely but slowly. Here's an update:
The black outlines won't be in the final piece hopefully, I've just left them on as I haven't done the detail on her face yet and it looks like a stupid blob without them. Pretty pleased with how it's coming along but it is a slow process.

Finally I'd like to make an apology. Here at the Enormous Blogodile offices we have received hundreds of written complaints about the alleged "100th blog post". Eagle-eyed readers and expert mathematicians noticed that what was supposed to be the 100th post was, in fact, the 96th.
Anyway we've had our quality control and continuity staff working around the clock to find the cause of this premature celebration and it was discovered this afternoon that four of the blog posts counted were actually just drafts.
On behalf of everyone here at EBHQ I offer my sincerest apologies to anyone who felt in any way offended, troubled or cheated as a result of this mistake. I am sorry.

Goodbye and thank you for reading.

104th Post!!!! OMG!!!


Here's a WIP video of the intial drawing of Emma Watson that I made to see if I could. I had to use Windows Movie Maker in the end because Image Ready wasn't allowing me to save as a GIF. Turned out to be a lot quicker and easier at the loss of a small amount of picture quality.
Now I know how to I'll hopefully update it when I work on the picture some more.
I know using a grid is cheating a bit but it's better than tracing :D
BYE

DRAW!

Been having ideas for loads of things recently but also trying to do more drawing and stuff than I have been.
This guy was just a quick sketch that I realised looked like Rex who you will, of course, remember for standing in for Attack Fox early on in production, so I coloured him in:
Also I've been working on-and-off on a picture of Emma Watson, pre-hair chop, in the way I worked on similar pictures at college.
Tonight I finished drawing the outline and filled in the block colours using digital watercolours in Painter:


Going to work some more on Attack Fox 1 this week so keep your eyes peeled for updates.
BYE my lover. BYE my friend.

More Wasted Life


Hahaha I just noticed in the bottom one the colours get more vibrant as they get further from the screen. A completely intentional metaphor for television's dilution.
