I did the best I could to return them to their cute fuzzy form, delicately squashing and crushing them with my bare hands, but I'm not sure whether what I ended up with was quite so "cute and fluffy." I feel I just made them a little scarier.

Two-dimensional Chicks
So, about those Easter chicks...they had been sitting in storage for almost a year under heavy stacks of paper and large boxes, understandably they were a little flat.
I did the best I could to return them to their cute fuzzy form, delicately squashing and crushing them with my bare hands, but I'm not sure whether what I ended up with was quite so "cute and fluffy." I feel I just made them a little scarier.

Thank You!
Just a bit of festively appropriate imagery for my wee band of followers and anyone who may have just happened upon my blog.
So, firstly I'd like to say, "I'm not dead." I've just spent this last month doing some practice sketches, working on techniques and such. There are many aspects that I feel I need to improve upon. I also have a couple of pre-sketches ready to be transferred onto A2 this January.
Anyway thank you all so much for following and sharing all your thoughts and feed back.

Finally finished!
So, I was up early yesterday morning, to make up for the fact that I didn't finish the drawing on Friday. My early awakening was fuelled by a healthy breakfast of Christmas themed chocolate cup cake.
Once I sat down on the beanbag to work I realised I really hadn't done all that much so more drawing for me. Eck!
Anyway midday came round and I was in need of a short lunch break, so I decided to collect my first ever pare of glasses. Well, I have been reminded that my vision is quite bollocks. Having tried my glasses on and off again, to compare the difference in my vision, I was suddenly pretty damn aware that I have been living in a soft ambient haze. This seemed not to have affected my drawing though as, even with the glasses on, I would work just as close to the paper, close enough that the glasses would make no difference.
Also I actually got two glasses in a two for one style deal. Sweet!
So by the end of the afternoon I actually finished that drawing. This time I applied a bit of ambient shading to give the image a little depth and I'm quite pleased with the results. I think I may have to go back to a few of my other pieces and do the same to them. Hurrumph.
Sorry this is blurred but, look, it has a star and everything!
