Self portrait day today - part of a Facebook group submission. Its been along time since I have done a selfie - 20 years!?? feck! - The last time it was in guash on illustration board, now its a PS job based off today's webcam pic - looking kinda urrg (appropriate since yesterday was Halloween) and  its 4 am in the  morning when I started the thing.

My digital paint techniques need work ( tonal variation- better lighting - I blame  my web cam pic :P).
This November I hope to take a page  out of the other half's  book (she is a  machine)and  crack  on with some new pieces as well as put some older ones to bed - time  to level up once more.

Just  got a  new sketchbook from Tanya, loving the brownish base colour of the paper. I thought I would  have a  play this  fine public holiday sketching. The photos do not really capture the subtle tones of the actual drawing but it  could  be a  good basis for  a full blown concept creation process.
