Night Terrors

(HB pencil on card - 60mm x 40mm)

This was something of an unusual one. I started on a project that, like the tutorial video, had a specific set frame to it, but it didn't seem to go the way I thought it would. The problem was that I was attempting to sustain a thought as I was doing the piece, but kept on being distracted, so it went off on a tangent into something else. I'd destroyed a couple of previous attempts at this method, but decided to keep this one.

I'm still pleased with the work itself but, for the project intended, I think I might need a bit more practice on that one, with fewer distractions.

The Balloon Seller

(HB pencil on 125mm x 75mm note paper)

Don't expect this old balloon seller to be made into a Royal Doulton porcelain figure anytime soon!

Nobody knows her name, but she does have her own unique way with children. If they misbehave, she'll start by taking away their pets - one by one. If they still persist in being unruly, then she'll take away their parents - one by one. Sooner or later they learn manners and morals. If they don't, and they grow up into misbehaving adults, then she punishes them by cutting off their hands - one by one.

But mostly, she sells balloons.
