I was doodling earlier tonight, with a blue gel ink rollerball I’d discovered in my satchel, and started trying to do faces. Normally I’m doing well to get something actually recognizable as some hideously mutated travesty of a person, but I noticed that what I had actually looked half decent. So I scanned it in and started messing around with the GIMP for awhile, and ended up with this. Definitely progress on the drawing-people front, I feel.

There’s an SVG version for printing here.

I’ve put some more pictures up in the gallery, after the lovely Pern was kind enough to model some bits and pieces I had lying around.

Comments on them are very welcome, especially suggestions for other things to make or to do designs on.

Here are some pictures from my holiday in Whitby this autumn – we went up to the Abbey just before sunset.

The rest are here. We were really lucky with the light that evening.
