183: Melon art

Tonight Lou and I drew on some melons. She made one into a mouse and I drew the bear, tea and cake on another. Some of the photos are a bit ropey since there was too much laughing to hold the phone camera straight. Ahem...

The finished article, complete with mouse face

Bear. It reads: Brown the bear loves tea and cake. (It's true, he does)

Slightly blurry cake

Tea

Mouse and bear: beautiful.

182: Scalloway school logo

The pupils at the school  I work in planned a protest against its closure and made huge banners and posters to take with them. They asked me to draw the school logo onto one of them, so here it is:

Banner made by the pupils:

181: World's largest drawing

An Open Day at school  so all classrooms and departments were open in the evening for parents and pupils to wander around and have a look. Anne and I went to the Primary end for a look and came across the world's longest drawing that they're making so we added our doodles to the rest. 


I did a small bear. Fun.

I scrubbed up for the Open Day:

Anne, adding her drawing:

180: Brown the bear's brithday

The text reads: Brown hoped that his friends wouldn't judge him for his unprecedented display of emotion when he entered the surprise party.

I love this bear.

179: Brown the bear

I've made a little character called Brown the bear. He is a bear. Called Brown. He'll be popping up quite regularly and was inspired by a card my friend Cameron found in his desk drawer at work. I love him. Look at his little face...

The text reads: Brown the bear danced often, but he was only truly happy when busting a move with his best friend, Panda.


True.

178: Blue nudes

Some nudes in blue - I love the shapes of the back. And my eye thrown in too - blue day, blue eyes, blue pen.

177: Self-portrait in grey

Today I am grey and have small eyes narrowed in thought. It makes me look old, according to my pens.

Is this what I 'll look like when I'm old? Hmmm...

176: Live Laugh Love

Sound advice with pretty pictures to make it more appealing.

And another - this was inspired by the drawings by Leonard Cohen in The Book of Longing. It's amazing, read it.

175: Lippy

I'm a bit lippy. Here's the proof...

174: Friends

My friends are great. This is for them: we are the greatest dancers.

173: Shetland ponies

Some Shetland ponies. I saw a photo of one in the Fair Isle book I was reading - the photos are lovely - and thought I'd draw one. The one below is a small horsey ornament I  got when I was teeny.

172: Cotton grass breeze

I like how the cotton flowers sway around in the wind. Pretty.

171: Phone

The phone rang. I liked it: I was accidentally waiting.

170: Heart flowers

A flower made of hearts. Just because...

169: Sickly

Today I've been in bed all day feeling sickly. I sipped peppermint tea, talked a little on the phone, neglected my book and slept for longer than I expected. Urgh. Oh, and I drew this on the back of an envelope within easy read of the bed...

168: Nude

A nude study from my head. Continuous line - I like that she turned out a bit like a guitar.

167: A leafy mess

Leaves grew out of each other, I had no control whatsoever. I quite like it though: leafy.

166: Rubbish

Today was a trying and irritating day at work because we received some bad news so I drew a bin to represent the fact it was rubbish. 

165: Cake hat

A cake or a hat? I can't decide.

164: Iron Man II

Went to see Iron Man 2 with my brother tonight, it wasn't great but it was good fun. Action action action. This is a little Iron Man drawing to celebrate that aforementioned action action action.
