Mr Bean! (No not that one!)

This morning I decided to write a poem, it went like this:

Forever shall I be in awe,

When dark recedes from new-days shore,

What titillates olfaction pure?

'Tis from the morning ground.

Such heaven in the lavish sound,

As downpour freshens earthen mound,

Each drop upon its great rebound...

Makes King of mornings aptly crowned!

 I asked my friends and family on Facebook to see if they could guess what I was on about.
My mum answered correctly, and so for no apparent reason, I decided to go and draw a classy coffee bean as a gesture of my appreciation for those who took the time to read my work!

Once again, thank you all very much! You make me feel rather wonderful!

I've had a lot of work to do recently which is why I haven't been doodling much, but I hope to rectify this as I will soon be starting to write a book (which is a children's book and therefore mainly made up of pictures).

For now, i bid thee farewell, and I hope that you all have the BEST of weekends!

Caffeine infused wishes,
Your pal Nick!

GRAAAINS!!!

New week! New day! NEW DOODLE!

To celebrate last weeks return of THE WALKING DEAD, and the fact that I watched it whilst eating a bowl of cereal, I decided to draw the above 640 thousand pixels of utter nonsense!

Well, actually, if you think about it, in the even of a zombie apocalypse, one of the brightest things to do would be to ween the hoards of undead off their almost 100% diet of brains, and get them to understand the importance of getting a daily intake of wholegrain! If that doesn't work, I guess grab something you can use as a weapon (spoon not recommended).

Creating this doodle was great fun, I have learned tonnes more about textures, the use of gradients, and shadows, and also believe it or not that was my first ever attempt at drawing a human (ish) hand! Woohoo!

Right, I need to make a cuppa, I've been meaning to do it for ages!
I strongly suggest you watch Black Mirror on Channel 4 tonight (if you live in the UK). If you live elsewhere: -First of all  HEY THANKS FOR VISITING MY BLOG!
-Secondly, I'm sure there is somewhere online you can watch it!

Ok...tea...seriously!!!
Until next time! Look after your brains, and lock up your brekkie cereals!

Good morning...sort of

Morning folks!

I wasn't this enthusiastic when I woke up and realised it was minus infinity degrees outside, and therefore inside owing to the archaic double glazing in my house.

Since I fobbed you off yesterday by not adding anything new to the blog, I decided to get up and draw something a little different. I've always been fairly terrible at drawing people, so I did a bit of searching and followed some tutorials... and drew a reflection of how I felt this morning, which is to say..."fnuh".

On a funny note, if you haven't bought your sandwich for lunch today, I'd avoid Tesco's Christmas Sandwich having seen this brilliant review on The Poke: http://youtu.be/DI8wFkth8bg

Also I'll post another doodle up later, it's only fair!

Here's to coffee! The unsung fuel of the human race!
