<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">... that every girl in Britain is obsessed with the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Such romance! Such agonising awkwardness! Such bonnets!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whilst I was watching the last installment (being very pleased that I had enough self control not to watch them ALL at once...) I did some sketches of the characters.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Drawing from the television is more enjoyable than I thought it would be - moving figures allow you to examine the characters from all sides and through a variety of expressions. Ultimately you get a better drawing as you are forced to capture the essence of the character rather than get hung up on the details.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last weekend I was delivered a copy of a book that I did some illustrations for months ago... here it is!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">'The Black Rose' is the second part in the Seven Stars Trilogy by very talented (and young!) author James Bartholomeusz. The books follow the adventures of teenagers Jack and Lucy as they are sucked into an inter-worldly war involving all manner of evil creatures and some Welsh sounding fairies... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">A little Photoshop experiment at creating a glitter texture using filters - why haven't I done this before??

It turns out it was quite hard. Not to make the actual GIF itself, but I found myself drawing out 10 separate frames for the TINY piece of animation you see here! A great process though, and really fun! </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">10: 'Take these drawings and reproduce them without line.' This was quite tricky as it's a true departure from my usual style, but I think they turned out rather well - particularly the top one. This kind of study might help with my colouring in the future.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">8: 'Design the label for an invented ale' - this design was inspired by our visit to the Aquarium in Berlin :) Very tempted to develop this into linework, ensuring I give the jellyfish a jaunty expression... :D</span></div>
