I should have posted this up immediately so I'm a tad late but... fair play to Bob Robinson who gave me this model he made for my birthday of a picture I painted a few months ago for a small auction... which he subsequently bought. Thanks man, it's cool and I'm chuffed with it. You can check out his website here which I highly recommend you do. I'd also like to take this moment to say the iPhone 3's camera fucking sucks...

Bob, please don't expect as good a pressie from me on your birthday........ hope you like boiled eggs with hilarious faces painted on them!

This one is a bit of a double-edged-sword for me. I did this photoshop painting for my girlfriend's neice's 3rd birthday. Due to time constraints I used the eye-dropper tool on the original photo for picking colours. So while I'm happy with the finished painting, I also feel like I cheated which dilutes the satisfaction.

I try not to use the eye-dropper tool as much as possible and pick the colours myself to help improve my colour theory.

So am I a big fat fraud or does the end justify the means? If anybody has any opinion on what I'm talking about, I'd love to hear it.

The drawings above were 1 and 2 minute drawings. The drawings below however, the model would do a pose and we had 2 minutes to draw how we thought it looked from 90 degrees to the right of what we were looking at. Pretty interesting exercise, fun too.
