Went into town today to run some v. important errands (i e buy comics and art supplies) and went through about as much emotional anguish as hot drinks can cause you as I walked past the tea shop near my old school. They had their "summery" flavours out, which included strawberry cheesecake and lemon-meringue.

I. I have no idea how you make meringue work in tea. But I want it. Curse my expensive taste.

If any of you are into comics and are not reading Saga (yes, yes they're comics, graphic novels is a stupid term some elitist twat invented to feel better about enjoying The Sandman) you're seriously missing out. Actually, if you like reading at all and are not reading Saga you're missing out. Is it science fiction or fantasy? We just don't know! But it has amazing worldbuilding, a compelling cast, great dialogue and beautiful art.

Seeing as it's gained so much critical acclaim it never really occured to me to make a proper rec post, but the first volume blew me away and I read the second today so I'm just. Telling you to try it. Seriously.

Still doing terribly at writing, but to everyone's surprise, including my own, I've been drawing more these past couple of days than I have in months, probably (if we count finished products, I mean). I started practising using ink, which has been interesting, as I'm not even particularly apt at painting. But I think that has been good for me; using a new medium I haven't really mastered means I can't have high expectations of myself, and the drawings themselves become more bare and minimalistic than what I normally do.

Behind the cut there are pictures of:

- the third Doctor
- original character
- Dana Scully

For a first attempt, I really don't think this turned out too bad, even though it's obviously a bit sloppy. Also it's hard to draw details.

This was more of a stress relief doodle, after I'd worked for a "proper" sketch for hours and then messed up the colouring. :'3

Now with bonus water colours!

Again, I find it hard to draw details and thin lines with a brush, so I don't think I captured Gillian Anderson's likeness as well as I did in the sketch. I'm still pretty satisfied with it though, as I like the colour scheme and this is my first piece of X-Files fanart ever. :P


So that's what I've been doing for these past four days. More to come, probably (hopefully?).
