I finally managed to dig out my sketchbooks and do some oldschool scribbling. It feels good to sharpen pencils again. :)

DS Garden Studies

Tree Study

Long time, no updates. You can blame my computer for that. Here's a quick tree study to get the ball rolling... again.

DS Local Paints: Batch II

Second batch of speedpaints done around my local area.

DS Dump

Mountain Village

Speedpaint for a weekly environment challenge. Excuse the dodgy lhamas. :)

DS Local Paints: Batch I

I've been busy running my Nintendo DS into the ground by doing a number of plein air speedpaints around my local area. It's a lot of fun and a good excuse to get out of the house and explore my surroundings more thoroughly. Granted, the screen glare can be a bit of a problem sometimes, but I can usually find a shady spot to compensate.

As the title would suggest, this is the first batch and more will follow. It's a little late for New Year resolutions, but I thought it would be cool to try and regularly paint on location throughout the year so as to enjoy the changing seasons.

Winters Spine

Sorry for the DS overload lately. Back to the pencils and inks I must go... tail between ones legs!

Autumn Scribbles

DS Dump: Conwy, Wales

DS Another Batch

Enviro'

DS Antarctic Studies

DS Cat Studies

Two wildcat studies done on my trusty DS. I really enjoyed doing these - to the point where I noodled a little too much. :)

Handheld Homecoming

I was recently reminded of the fact that I haven't toyed with my DS in quite some time, so today I decided to dig it out and enjoy a little handheld speedpaint fun. I had forgot just how much fun it is to lounge on my bed and paint in between bouts of cat-napping. And let's face it, cat-napping is what bank holidays were invented for, right?
