The Banter Thread / Banter Topic / Sean Bean

aha! Finally finished this buggering drawing i've been working on! I will put it in the art thread, but for now the frustration and 'grrr' this has caused makes it more then worthy for a place in this thread :-)



*sighs a sigh of relief*

God why must I be useless at everything, nice work mate.

I'm convinced he's just shopped a photograph. That looks far too amazing to be a drawing - if I wasn't told it would take me a while to work it out.

[Adam Stone]

Ha, bless you Spatial, that's probably the nicest compliment yet

It was drawn on ‘smooth bristol board’ paper with a black biro pen, and then shaded with 2B, 3B and 9B graphite pencils. Also used watercolours for the background and then tidied things up digitally... but yes, i'm afraid it was all drawn by hand! Ha, painstakingly so.

This really did take hours (and hours and hours). It’s the very first car (or any vehicle come to that) I’ve ever attempted, so am well chuffed with it.

Oh, and I've left the numberplate blank because that will be personalized to my brother when given as a Christmas present :-)

Amazon refunded me some money on something I'd already bought, and had delivered, under their pre-order scheme. God bless capitalism!

Very nice work Adam, would make a nice desktop pic also.

I got a "Charley says..." badge for my new coat today. I am officially the world's greatest person.

I've been working at the barn today, (lots of burning, lifting, breaking things, moving things far too heavy to be moved and generally getting really mucky) so have now finally returned home absolutely covered in mud, grit and goodness knows what else. Bones hurt, back's sore, hands are cut to pieces, foot got a nail through it and I've got a huge glass gash across my chest... but there's something very refreshing about a good day's work :-)

But bugger it, damn I can't wait to walk through those doors at Lionhead. ha, funny how things work out

edit: Thank you DavidH, means a lot a buddy. It's not quite finished, still a few additions to make here and there... but generally i'm well chuffed with it. I have to admit though, i was surprised how easy it was to make cars look, well, car-like. I know that's a really silly thing to say, but to compared to drawing people, clothing or animal fur... shading metal was blissful (though admittedly very time consuming!)

Turns out it was Bolognaise.

How did you find out?

Oh, nice work adam

[Spatial]

Left it long enough and it defrosted enough for me to make out some mushrooms but no sign of any red kidney beans.

Process of elimination 'init.

Don't anyone ever try to tell me that the BBC is dumbing down in any way.

That article is nine months old Jamie

That's the trouble with BBC "most read" articles, sure someone posted it in here at the time also.

Must try harder as your teacher would say back in the day

[Jebus]

Then they touch you!

Right?

One day Hollis! One day I'll get you!
