Well, that was a very welcome long weekend! We’ve spent it with family and friends, eating far too much as usual but that’s what weekends are for!

My adult colouring page is coming along, I’ve outlined it in black now but it still needs a heavier outline around the houses to make them stand out a bit more.

I had fun drawing all the different windows and little bricks!

I’ve also started work on the final drawing for my Canal du Midi map commission. I’ve just drawn the river out so far, now comes the hard task of adding all the detailed attractions along the way. Luckily, Le Boat have sent me a fantastic sketch (top left of the photo) which includes the locations and names of all the things to include.

I’ve used a little artistic license with the scale and shape to make it fit on the paper.

52 Faces

This week’s miniature portrait is Orlando Bloom, because you’ve got to love a little bit of Orlando 🙂 Excuse the rubbish photo. The camera seems to have something on the lens which gets in the way when taking a photo at this distance. You might be able to make out just to the top left of his head where I’ve tried to smudge out the shadow from the lens…very annoying!

That’s all for today, hope you’ve all had a lovely bank holiday weekend!
