New Year in Lochcarron

Sketches from our New Year's trip to Highlands. There was not much of the sun out there - the most spectacular clouds, rain and snow and rain again - so the sketches are rather grey (the main reason was me being too lazy to use anything more than a black pen and a pencil) .  

The best breakfast of the year - scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.

Fish and chips in Applecross on New Year's Eve.(the right-hand side sketch by Konrad)

There was more deer than sheep out there. No hares though.

Here is us stuck in a car during a sudden snowstorm. Very steep and winding single lane road and the best piece of advice I've had in a long time (from a van driver) - whatever happens do not touch the break!

In a pub in Cromarty. We are having a cup of tea and rats get very excited about their favourite cheese.

christmas otter

A not very happy otter wishing a very happy Christmas. (He hates his festive jumper - itchy and generally not in good taste.)

simple pleasures

A little update from my sketchbook.

scooter

Wild boar don't cycle. Of course they don't. They ride scooters!
(Thank you Wojtek.)

brigade (tandem)

Drawing bicycles is hard. Very hard. And to draw one or two of my characters riding this bicycle is even harder. While working on this one I realised that as much as I want those guys to be eco-friendly, cycle to work and stuff they just cannot. Their legs are too short! So I went through other characters I'd created and tried to put them on a bicycle and their legs were also too short! Now I feel guilty...

On the other hand it is fascinating that at some point the characters start living they own life and refuse to do things you want them to do. I will need to experiment with other means of transport here...

 My website is FINALLY updated! Less foxes - more lions. Have a look!

Here comes Supermouse!

 Sometimes you just feel like drawing a Supermouse and there is nothing you can do about it.

ms lioness has a new bag

A little update on what's been going on in my sketchbook recently. And yes! I've got a new bag! A proper bag with internal pockets and adjustable strap. My first ever proper bag! It is slightly different to the one that Miss Lioness is proundly wearing but I am as happy as she is.
