  • The Captain and Her First Mate

    Odara relived that Peln has returned safely from a dangerous situation!

    I am also still terrible at drawing hands lol

  • Grandson portrait

    This one was interesting to draw! As always, displaying my Photoshop Takes Zero Skill heavily filtered pic, but I do want to post some WIPs too!

    I wanted to try something different for this – I really like the angle and lighting of this shot, but it was too daunting to approach with pencil because it was extremely black heavy, and I don’t like having to spend so much pencil lead on paper because it’s so tedious, not to mention the graphite goes everywhere and is prone to smudging! So I decided to start my digital canvas black, and worked my way towards white. It kind of worked???

  • Taika Waititi

    I think I’m done trying to draw digitally for the rest of this year. It’s so hard! Also a cropped version without a filter wrecking it just cause.

  • Why does drawing hurt so much

    That’s it, that’s the post.

  • Damian Lewis

    When will I get better at colour accuracy??? When I can I capture expressions accurately???

    Also I still hate doing digital only from scratch, it’s too hard!

  • Matthew Gray Gubler

    First drawing in months, couldn’t draw an original character so went with a character study instead.

    Definitely not my best, it’s passable though. His messy tousled hair was a challenge!

  • Sydney 2023

    Ah, finally, my first round of travel after many years of staying put! Though, with pigeons to look after now, I hadn’t actually thought about planning any trips, instead, this just happened to be a work trip where I tacked a few extra days for myself to explore.

    What does Sydney look like post COVID? How much of what I remember would still be there? How many of my favourite places would have closed down?

  • Komeyui Melbourne

    I only really wanted to choose one restaurant to book while in Melbourne, and Komeyui has been on my list for several years and seems to regularly pop up as a great restaurant to visit. Some of the research I did shows that this omakase would be interesting, since they also offer kaiseki options, so I wanted to see what dishes they’d have on offer!

  • Petermen

    Haha, I’m so silly for starting a post about a seafood restaurant using a picture of a flat white! But there’s a reason for that, I was here for brunch, and, the coffee was surprisingly good! I’ve never had coffee this pleasant from one before (including Saint Peter’s Artificer batch brew; that was nice but not at an Artificer level).

  • Gildas

    First there was Firedoor, and now there’s Gildas, a new Lennox Hastie establishment!

    My trip to Sydney was rather impromptu, and I found myself without any plans on a Friday night. So what do I do? I google Gildas to see if they’re walk in friendly, and lo and behold, I got myself a spot!
