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.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DRAGON


I've spent the morning (afternoon? I haven't had breakfast yet, so surely that means it's still morning?) trying to draw a 'beautiful'  and feminine dragon. They kept coming out rather ugly, but hopefully things are going in the right direction now.

MOUNTAINEERING




I'm not entirely sure where this is going yet, but it seems to involve a return to strange, faceless hunchbacked beings. Who carry mountains, naturally.
