Needs a go-over in daylight - which always sucks cos daytime is the worst!!

I like doing eyes.

Groovy birdie with an Easter Egg happening in the feathers. Reasonable start and jolly fun!

It’s always fun picking pencils for the next piece!

Uncle Charlie all done.
November 26, 2025 at 9:42 PM
Wee bit more tonight. Now if I could find one of the 6 million putty rubbers I have in the house that would be handy!

Wee bit more of Uncle Charlie. Currently looks like he’s been hit in the mouth by an iron ‘Tom and Jerry style’ but I’ll work on it.

On a weird note, it’s mildly disconcerting when a drawing is staring back at you from the drawing board…

Started on my next one. I’m not brilliant at portraits but I’ve done a few and they’re always challenging. This is the beginning of Uncle Charlie.

Also I have a new pack of Faber-Castell graphite matt pencils and I am a happy bunny.

Buster.
All done and framed. ❤️❤️❤️

Finished apart from daylight touch-ups, cleaning, and framing.
Also Scotland are heading to the World Cup 2026 after tonight’s 4-2 stressfest. Guid day all round!

Getting close. Still loving it.
Been watching Guillermo Del Toro‘s Frankenstein tonight. Been a long time since I’ve been both creatively inspired and emotionally devastated by a movie. Absolute class.

All blocked! Now fer shadows, highlights, and random curls ❤️
Small town murder is a cracker to draw to 🖤🖤🖤
November 13, 2025 at 10:26 PM
Bit more blocking. Really finding joy again!
❤️

Another wee bit blocked.
Powered by the first ep I’ve listened to of Small Town Murder podcast, as recommended by this wee guy’s owner! So much fun!

I keep buying and trying new pencils but I keep coming back to my Faber Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencils in 10-12-14B for shading. Absolutely love them!

Another wee bit tonight. I tend to lay down a base and then go back into it again so no area of this is finished btw!
November 10, 2025 at 10:23 PM
Wee bit more. Bedtime noo!!
November 10, 2025 at 1:44 AM
It’s been another hell of a year!! Life has been… interesting??? But am moving on, moving up, and finding joy again. So I’m working again. First update on this one ❤️

Excuse the bad light, I can’t remember the password to switch on the smart light above my desk 😂
November 10, 2025 at 1:19 AM
Not the best pic cos you can see the ugly lampshade but tis done and framed!
Finally after life, work and everything inbetween got in the way!!! Can’t wait to hand it over - aside from anything else it’s HUGE and my desk area is not 😂

Closing in on the finish line. Needs a good look in day light, a tidy up, and some lights & lines.
August 7, 2025 at 10:36 PM
They’re starting to come out the paper!
Finally, a good sign!
July 8, 2025 at 10:13 PM
Wee bit more. Getting there.
July 8, 2025 at 8:10 PM

June 17, 2025 at 11:03 PM
Lots to do, so little time! Graphite powder is my best friend! ❤️
