To celebrate this blog getting its fiftieth follower (Hi Steve, I love your blog; it's a big part of what drew me into the Oldhammer "movement") I thought I'd share with you some drawing I've been enjoying doing with my kids. There's a great "how to draw" book by Mark Bergin that has step-by-step instructions that are designed for children (or drawing dunces like yours truly) to create fun little knights and castle pictures that I think are full of naive charm. This is the book:

And this is what I've art-ed:

If you'd seen my previous failed attempts at stick men, you'd be impressed! I had fun coming up with different ways to shade. I could get into this drawing lark.
Happy creating,
Rab
I like em! Well done.

Thanks, yorkie! I'm putting the finishing touches to the rule tweaks for the next version of goblinquest (still not happy with that name) and I shall illustrate it in this style, at least for now.
ReplyDeleteConcept sketches for a new miniature line?
ReplyDeleteGaj - sort of like a medieval-fantasy plastic toy solder line, like your avatar? That would be fun :)
