Sebastian

Presenting Sebastian Vettel. three time Formula 1 World Champion. And all round ace and funny guy.

I kind of love doing these, it's not the hardest thing to do, as I am drawing from a modified reference photo, but I just find it very.. soothing I guess. I don't have to worry about too much. And they look cool at the end. People (okay two people) have said that I should sell them, but I don't know how I feel about that.. We'll see.

Now who to do next! I've done my favourites.. Maybe Nico Rosberg, or Jenson Button. Someone suggested I do "Legends" so maybe I'll try a Senna! If I can find a good enough photo.

Also! Red Bull retweeted my tweet with this in, and yet again, twittersplosion. Two for two on team retweets now!

The Iceman Cometh ...Again.

After I finished my Romain Grosjean drawing, I couldn't NOT do a Kimi one. Over this winter break I've kind of fallen in love a bit with Kimi Raikkonen, I already knew he was awesome (he is a World Champion after all), and that he was hilariously laid back, but then I kinda got involved in the Tumblr world of F1 and there's a lot of Kimi love there! My team for this season is definitely Lotus, especially after they retweeted my Romain drawing and spoke to me:

And obviously for just being all-round amazing people, totally the best at interacting with the fans and have a genuine sense of humour. So yeah, sorry JB, you'll still always be my man, but 2013 is the year of the Lotus boys.

Oh oh, last night I read this brilliant fanfic (I know, don't judge me) about Sebastian Vettel being a robot - a creation of Red Bull made to win races - and that's almost EXACTLY what I said about him all through 2011. But oh gosh this fic... Properly got to me, and the ending... Literal gasps of horror. Anyway, here it is, but be warned that there's quite heavy graphical Kimi/Seb but it's all very sweet and makes total sense in context.

RoGro

Wow, what a day. I've spent a few evenings working on something totally nerdy and fangirly, and last night I finally finished it. I was trying something different - drawing from a photograph, concentrating on greyscale, etc. Pretty pleased with how it turned out.

It's my favourite (and most adorable) F1 driver, Romain Grosjean.

Then I took the liberty of tweeting the Lotus F1 Team about it, and then THEY retweeted it and my Twitter feed exploded:

Everyone was so nice about it and some dude asked me to draw him so now I'm going to do that, and then start work on a Kimi Raikkonen drawing :D Just.. Amazing.

Fuck love.

I think this might be the best thing I have ever drawn.

I love it right now anyway, I'll probably hate it tomorrow. Feel like I'm channelling Steve Zissou with that hat/shirt combo - it was unintentional, I swear!

It was ably aided by the greatest hits of Ash which I listened to while drawing it, I think maybe Clones has overtaken Goldfinger as my favourite Ash song... But now I'm listening to Twilight of the Innocents and it's epic as fuck and I just want to yell and listen to those strings foreverrrrr!

"I'm still breathing, my heart's still beating."

Remember this.

Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin.

Photos of Babies on Facebook

Pretty much this.

Adorable things, really happy and all, but man does it hit me right in the biological clock.

Tamara and Too Many Hats

Oh hey Tamara. Just doodling and playing about with grey tones recently, moving away from just black and white and experimenting with tone and shadow a bit. I'm not very good at highlights and shadowing so it's something I really need to research and look into.

I'm loving drawing Tamara though. She has a wide forehead, and little pokey-out ears and barely a curve on her so I think she makes an excellent demon.

Still need to find a story for her though.

Tonight I did a funny little thing about all the hats I own, completely at random. I only really ever wear the big white wooly one, so why do I have all the others?! Again, playing with greys and stuff yada yada. HATS.

Seeing these two drawings together, it looks like I used a slightly thicker line with Tamara which I'm liking better right now.. But I think it's just because I drew her small, the hat one was drawn on A5.
