Day 16
Busy day today, I should be able to finish this tomorrow after work. It’s pencil and pen on paper, worked from a photo I took of a statue in one of the local cemeteries.

Day 13
I bought a small print from the op shop in a 4×4 inch frame. It’s a print and unnumbered, I don’t work over limited editions or one of a kind pieces. I took the image out of the backing and

Day 12
Today is a knitting day because I’ve been watching subtitled films and it’s near impossible to read and draw at the same time. The yarn is from Wisdom and is called Poems but I haven’t got a clue what the

Day 10 – work in progress
I’m still working on it, with far less time than I would like.
Day 9 – work in progress
There’s nothing like a shift or two at work to make me fall behind in documenting my process. The angel is a bit green because she is covered in moss.

Day 8 – work in progress
This will take a little longer than the other drawings so there might be a few WIP shots.

Day 4
I wanted a moving gif to use as a signature so I made this using GIMP. I realise now that it’s probably a bit large to use but it’s still a thing that I made today.

Day 2
Just an ink and watercolour silhouette. 4×6 inches on watercolour paper. Time escapes me and I found myself working today when I thought I’d have time to play.

Day 1
It’s been a year since the last Thing A Day and I’m hoping that this time I will be a little more organised. I’m aiming to make one drawing a day for the entire month but there’s some wiggle room

Day Twenty-Nine- The End
It’s a little watercolour sketch of hamster for a friend. I’ll finish it later. Thing A Day is something that I joined at the last minute and I enjoyed it a lot. Next year I’ll be prepared with materials

Day Twenty-Eight – Cat Toy
It’s a bit funny looking but it’s full of catnip and my kitties love it.
Day Twenty-Five- Painting
This is a painting from last year, I’ve just been touching it up so that I can apply for an exhibition. I’ve mainly been adding light tones to it.

Day Twenty-two- Pyjama Pants
These are pyjama pants that I made out of poplin to go with my grey Hellephant t-shirt. Because I took the photo myself it looks like I have tiny feet but they’re actually a little big and my legs are

Days Nineteen, Twenty and Twenty-one- Catch up post
Another catch up post because the end of the month is getting close and being busy doesn’t seem like a good enough excuse. I’ll try and post images of everything else I’ve been up to tomorrow.

Day Eighteen- Screen printed t-shirt
I bought a t-shirt on sale and thought it might be nice to have a pair of Hellephant pyjamas. I’m going to make some bottoms out of teal poplin.

Day Seventeen- Drama Llama
It’s a Drama Llama. Maybe a Drama Alpaca (I have a hard time telling them apart). In any case, this is a quick sketch from a photo I took at the local agricultural show last year. I used coloured pen
