A creative ond cathartic outlet for a bald guy in his mid-forties who can’t afford to have an expensive midlife crisis, so I am doing this instead, if I can make even one person out of the 7 billion on this planet smile then my job is done 👍🏻

In the effort to help my self and anybody else cope with this messed up world I have created a site where I will post things that have either kept me sane or made me laugh, feel free to take a look if you want. Initially it is just a simple google site, as my skills grow though hopefully I can improve.

I drew this one for Kayleighs birthday, took her a print down to her today so can now share. Hope you like it!

So this is my style if I have one 🤔. This type of abstract really let's me relax and my mind wander and go off on tangents. There is no right or wrong way to look at it, hope you enjoy.

A wee experiment, her name is Willow and she is my daughters hamster. Looks like she has been bulking up 🤣👍

Gonna call this finished for now, as I have run into the end of my current skills 🥴. I have included the reference for comparison in the future as I improve.

A work in progress, another Bothy this time with a loose reference. Couple of things to fix perspective wise but so far happy how it's going.

Tried a couple of new things over the last few days, the third pic is the inspiration for the flower drawing.

This is my effort at a feather that I found in the garden, not the easiest as it is all black, I will try again after some practice and learning.

For her birthday my long suffering wife asked me to draw a Chimpanzee for her (don't worry I got her other stuff too), here is the result. Process and reference pic included

Trying out water droplets in pencil, still a long way to go, it's a tough one to get right but I will keep trying!

Daffodil : Take 2
Need to work on making the trumpet more delicate but otherwise quite pleased with the drawing.

Practicing a daffodil on as it easier than constantly erasing pencil 🤣.

Followed a tutorial but from memory, still a lot of learning to do but I think this is slightly closer than I was yesterday. 👍
