Thompson Thursday 9

Bit of a departure for me this Thompson Thursday over on the Micks blog. My first colour piece and an offbeat character too. 

Portrait

I'm all out of animal drawings so here's a boring old human. I did this with a blue biro, which I used to draw with quite a lot when I was younger just because there was so many of them about. A lot of my very early comic style drawings were done this way too because I didn't know any better. Took me a surprising amount of time to try using a felt tip or marker to ink with. 

Menagerie 2

Here's some more animal drawings from that same Dublin Zoo trip. Except for the last one, that's a drawing of my late dog, Blitz. 

Menagerie 1

I can't for the life of me remember drawing these, but I guess they're from some trip to Dublin zoo during college. They're a bit grainy because they're scanned from photocopies, I couldn't find the originals anywhere. Pen with grey marker. 

Sketch dump 4

So I've been cleaning out the studio some more, throwing as much out as I can part with and organising the rest. I found a few sketchbooks and lots of loose pages, some with half decent sketches on them. Here's some of the highlights.
