Battered Books.

I do wonder what the point is of paying out to buy new Books on Amazon, when they always turn up looking all beaten up and torn and worse than secondhand Books anyway? Most of the new books I've ordered of late have turned up dinged or damages, even though I paid for a 'New' Book. 

It's also super frustrating when you buy a friend or loved one a Book as a gift for Christmas or a Birthday or something and it turns up looking so crappy, you just don't feel right giving it to them because it's in such bad shape.

A Boy And His Brush Pen.

Invested in, and trying out a new type of Brush Pen this week. 

I'm not the biggest user of Brush Pens, but I do like to use them when the Art calls for it, and I'm hoping this'll be a good one.

I have to confess I enjoy trying out new Pens way more than I should really admit. And I differently shouldn't admit going into a really well stocked Stationery Shop makes me feel a bit giddy.

Down The Hatch.

I have to confess this Blog feels like it's turned into a bit of a Warezone so far this year. Last week it was an exploding Tiger Tank, and now this week this...

I was kind of pleased that the Sten Machine Gun's 'Muzzel Flash' came out as well as it did. I had a couple of 'happy accidents' while colouring it, and picked up a couple of new tricks I can use in the future.

I also spent a long time hunting down photo reference so I could get this Paratrooper's colour scheme just right in this image. I even tried to make his trousers look rough and scratchy. 

Tiger Turret Tossing.

An unlucky World War 2 German Tiger Tank meets a nasty (but very spectacular) end.

I have to say, drawing a Tank 'Jack In The Box-ing' has been one of the most fun things I've drawn in a long time.
