GATEKEEPER


Yesterday was one of those days where every line you draw is just...wrong. But I stayed sitting and drawing, determined to get my teeth into the next batch of drawings despite not feeling much hope for anything of use to emerge. It took pretty much all of my willpower not to just cave in and draw dragons (or bake cake) in a bid to pretend I was being 'productive'.
 
It resulted in this little dude. He's a gatekeeper - one of those fleeting characters in the book. He looks a little bit haughty and like he takes pride in his appearance. I might throw a peacock in the final drawing too, because ever since drawing a tiny one as a detail for chapter five I've been itching to sneak another one in there somewhere.

UNBLOCKING


Had a spot of drawing-block. Ended up working on another dragon. Eh.

THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE


We escaped to the city yesterday. It confused me a little bit because there were all these...people...around. More so than usual, and it isn't even festival time yet. Then I realised it was a Saturday, a day many people tend to have free from work or school, and that since I usually work weekends I'm more used to escaping to the city on quieter weekdays. It took me a while to realise this, because I'm clever like that. And then I still kept forgetting and wondering why the streets were so busy.
 
I also really, really want a copy of this book.
 
 I've only really managed to finish one drawing this week, thanks to the Easter holidays making work busier, so now I'm off to do a bit of drawing.
