Sweep

I try not to complain openly, but I've been having a rough time of it all recently. My car has been in the garage twice this year for a myriad of reasons (repair work, MOT, servicing, more repair work...), and I'm currently recovering from food poisoning. So in general, I'm feeling physically and mentally a bit crappy and sorry for myself.

Doing this drawing below cheered me up a little though. One of the owners of the cafe down the road from us found out that I do art (they're a very friendly and chatty bunch), and asked if I could do a little piece based around Sebastian Melmoth's 'The train of life' for her sister, and this is what I came up with.

If nothing else, I'm glad I can still do one point perspective pieces as well as work with graphite. Here's hoping the rest of the year improves.

I finally drew an *actual* shower scene - something I've been meaning to do for ages, but have been far too scared to do 😭 Making sense of how to draw water trails on a body using pencils was hard, but I'm really quite pleased with how this turned out.

I did a little test sketch of this before Scotiacon just gone, and thought it would be cool to limit the background between the shower pipe and the proximal parts of Sweep's body. I'd like to do more pieces like this, as I really enjoyed it :blobartist:

It was my birthday on the Sunday just gone, so I thought what better reason to get into the kitchen to do some cooking and baking.

I made chocolate stout cupcakes with chocolate stout mocha frosting, and beef and red wine pie courtesy of @halfy@mastodon.half-shot.uk 's wonderful recipe. It made so much filling that I've still got a fair bit leftover 😅
