Day 23

Day 22.

Lunch out with friends.

Day 21.

A spot of tea.

Day 20.

I've been watching Cranford. Therefore: bonnets.

Day 19.

The art of pleasant conversation.

Day 18.

A lady blacksmith. Because blacksmiths are fantastic.

Day 17.

I forgot to post this yesterday. Whoops! So you get double the fun today.

Day 16.

I'm afraid that today's doodle was a super quick sketch. Guess what I was watching.

Day 15.

I've just started reading King's Fool by Margaret Campbell Barnes, and am greatly enjoying it. So, today's drawing needed to be the lovely Mistress Joanna. (I do realise that unbound hair is an anachronism, but there is a scene where she takes her hair down while pretending to be Persephone.)

Day 14.

Tudor women. Huzzah.

Day 13.

Happy Luciatåg.

Day 12.

A brief reminder that you are all absolutely fantastic. I hope you're having a lovely day.

Day 11.

(In honour of the lovely Miss Belisle, of course.)

Day 10.

I was going through some stacks of old notebooks and things on my desk today, and came across a ridiculously old set of comic strips I had drawn. They’re mostly really terrible, but I remember being quite fond of them at the time. They centred around Rhosyn and her friend Gwyn, and I decided it was time to (once again) redesign Rhosyn.

She had started initially as part of a series of comic strips I was going to draw to help myself learn Welsh.

Then, just became part of a series of not so amusing jokes based on odd conversations.

And, apparently, went through a brief period as a super-heroine.

So, I decided it was time to give her a slightly more useful make-over. Maybe I’ll actually revive some of the plot lines I had in store for her at some point. One way or another, it is really nice to look back and realise: why yes, my drawing ability has grown over time.

Day 9.

Snowy days are perfect for settling in with a cup of tea and a book.

Day 8.

I might actually fix up and paint this one at some point - I rather like it. Though, I'll definitely use a ruler on the knot-work.

Day 7.

I seem to draw a lot of family scenes in December.

Day 6.

Day 5.

More Hamlet doodles. (Surprising, yes?)

Day 4.
