working through another tutorial…this is from several weeks ago, but FlipBook kept crashing on me when I tried exporting stills. Windows Movie Maker to the rescue, of all programs! (I’m not wild about this attempt, the arms are lagging too much at the top, and the knees need to bend a whole lot more before the push off. But I could spend the rest of my life on this one exercise, so it’s time to move on to the next one!)

Self-portrait of the artist as a daggy student through the years:

(yes I have owned a toy horse with rainbow yarn hair; yes I have worn child-size tshirts well into my twenties; and yes I still have those bags under my eyes!)

So I’ve been working in a temporary office for the last 4 months due to flood damage in the usual one, and I keep seeing this pigeon that looks like it’s part seagull as well. To celebrate moving back in my own weird twisted way, a Really Bad Sketch ™:

Fanart of the 3 leading characters in the comic ballet “Gala Performance” choreographed by Anthony Tudor, which I saw on the weekend. And of course I didn’t have any photo reference to work with the last few days, so the only thing I’ve gotten right with the costumes is the colour. Sort of. The lady in red/orange is Italian and fiery, the one in blue is Russian and icy, and the one in pink is French and hopped up on sugar and red cordial!!
