In honour of Brave coming out tomorrow, have a drawing of Merida! Okay, so I do realise that at twenty-three I should not be this excited about a children’s film. But — but — it just looks like it will be so lovely! Good animation, archery, and pseudo Scottish folklore. What’s not to be excited about?

Also, I always wanted hair like that. Just sayin’.

A couple more excerpts from my sketchbook.

Another Regency sketch

Remember the days when I used to draw nothing but figures and subjects from the nineteenth century? Yeah. Me, too. I think those days might be back.

To celebrate, have a sketch of people chatting and drinking tea. 

Yeah. Days off always start with the best of intentions.

This is my warm-up drawing for today. It's also the beginning of my new sketchbook. I always draw something stupid on the first page or two so that I'm not so worried about making every page perfect.

Some sketches and doodles
