Sabre-tooth Dog.

“Sabre-tooth Dog” or maybe “Smiledog”, I haven’t decided yet.

This is my creation from yesterday. Ok, I lied about not working from my imagination again, but I think I was more successful this time. What do you think? I started off by just doodling things and trying to get inpsiration, which worked, thankfully! Then this happened (above and below).

I have recently watched a programme called ‘Ice Age Giants’, it’s on BBC TWO and was very interesting. When it comes to the history of past creatures that are now extinct, I’m like a big kid. I also guess that’s why I love the animated Ice Age films. I enjoy going to museums full of bones and skulls from the past, so of course I’d love to watch a programme that featured some of them. Skeletons etc used to feature a lot in my art work when I was at high school and a little at college too. They still interest me now, but I have moved on from them… Moved on to what I’m not really sure, but still. Maybe one day I’ll get back to that area.

Killed The Unicorns.

"I slept through the comet that killed the unicorns."

I achieved another drawing today; I didn’t think I would manage it two days in a row. I woke up earlier then I have done in weeks and was awake, it felt good, but unusual and I even had breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages on toast - it was delicious). I don’t have a normal sleeping pattern at all and I so dearly want it back. I decided to relax for a while, seeing as I had plenty of time to waste today, BIG MISTAKE. I fell asleep for a couple of hours and woke up feeling more tired after my nap then I did before. That just doesn’t make sense to me.

I thought it was then a good time to sort myself out and get on with my new daily task. I had decided on the quote this morning and I’m afraid to say, it is from another Ice Age film. I got my sketchbook and pen and put on a film, yes you guessed it, Ice Age, the fourth one if you cared to know. I chose a couple of pictures to work from and off I went on another magical drawing adventure (without actually moving anywhere of course).

I might possibly do a few more like the two I have already completed, we shall see. There are a few more quotes I want to use, I’m just not sure which ones and what to illustrate them with. But I am enjoying myself, which is the main thing, I think.
