Lets work outside and offline

OK, so not exactly what I would call 'work' or creative masterpieces but definitely good practice and some fun in the sun. Decided to paint with some watercolours and be creative with charcoal/chalk  and managed to get some nice sunburn in the process. Its interesting to see how my work looks traditionally, a little rusty I would say, but also that it could be improved with better preparation, more time and more sun (please).

Bug Style Helmet Sketches...of course

I decided to take a break from the laptop yesterday and sit with folks and unwind with some TV but I brought my sketchpad and randomly doodled a few insect/spider based helmets over 1 A4 page with a black Biro , i changed the layout and added colour in Photoshop but the rough sketches remain the same.
I may throw up a few more sketches as I am still working on some paintings at the moment and need blog fodder so stay tuned.

I'm leaning towards 5 and 15, I could see them as rivals as some kind insect tech based super heroes (Mantis vs. Red Ant) just my imagination, 9 and 18 are interesting and could be developed also, anyway more of a blue sky project for fun. Let me know what you think, more little bits like this to come.
