Practice playing with bright colours as a base for skin. Painting is a weird alchemy!
Going to start attempting landscape more. Probably shouldn’t have started with a dark jungle as reference.

The significance of plot without conflict
In the West, plot is commonly thought to revolve around conflict: a confrontation between two or more elements, in which one ultimately dominates the other. The standard three- and five-act plot structures–which permeate Western media–have conflict written into their very foundations. A “problem” appears near the end of the first act; and, in the second act, the conflict generated by this problem takes center stage. Conflict is used to create reader involvement even by many post-modern writers, whose work otherwise defies traditional structure.
The necessity of conflict is preached as a kind of dogma by contemporary writers’ workshops and Internet “guides” to writing. A plot without conflict is considered dull; some even go so far as to call it impossible. This has influenced not only fiction, but writing in general–arguably even philosophy. Yet, is there any truth to this belief? Does plot necessarily hinge on conflict? No. Such claims are a product of the West’s insularity. For countless centuries, Chinese and Japanese writers have used a plot structure that does not have conflict “built in”, so to speak. Rather, it relies on exposition and contrast to generate interest. This structure is known as kishōtenketsu.
People often say to me: “You draw like some kind of inhuman machine. If I eat your brain, will I gain your power?” The answer is yes, but there is another way. The key to precise drawing is building up muscle memory so that your arm/hand/fingers do the things you want them to do when you want them to do them. Teaching yourself to draw a straight line or to make sweet curves is just a matter of practice and there are some exercises you can do to help improve. If you’re going to be doodling in class or during meetings anyway, why not put that time to good use?
So Free Comic Book Day 2016 at Impact Comics in Canberra is done.
It’s now Monday and I think I have finally recovered. Myself and a team of comic nerds drew pictures for kids and not so kids from 9am to 4:30 pm. Was a frantic exhausting kind of fun. I certainly don’t think I draw my best in this kind of situation – having someone waiting/watching while you try smash something out in 5-10 minutes does not make a great mix.. does make/force you to stop being pedantic over every line you draw. So in some ways you get things better and in others not so much. In any case fast and as recognisable as what the person wanted is the call of the day and its a free drawing ! There was many characters I have never heard of and many I had (SO MANY DEADPOOL’S 0_0 ).
I am ALWAYS surprised at how happy people appear to be with the drawings you give them. This year I took quick pics of most of my scribbles. So I have 31 scribbles pictured and I know a few I did not photograph all of them so I did maybe 38ish pics.. so in 6 hours of drawing I think I was averaging 10 mins a drawing. I am certain my recent study into drawing the human head helped pin down a vague head shape in quicker time.
Thanks to all the drawing friends (Emmajean, Katie, Sam, Alice and others), thanks to ImpactComics for supplying us water and drawing materials and many thanks to all the people that came out. Hope you got some nice free comics and checked out some non-free stuff :)

FCBD Free Comic Book Day 2016 So Free Comic Book Day 2016 at Impact Comics in Canberra is done. It's now Monday and I…
So my latest study comes to a close. The human head and face has always been a difficult thing for me. Getting everything to just sit where it should is a struggle – the damn features of the face just slides, wriggles and drifts on the head- slowly succumbing to gravity before it falls off the with a plop.
The study has been very good working from the skull up- I have certainly learned a lot and can see a lot of more of my mistakes more clearly. Here are some of my last less crappy stuff.
Gavin THE Faceless one Thomson
Smiley, shocked and other faces So my latest study comes to a close. The human head and face has always been a difficult thing for me.
So- next in my quest to draw not as crap pictures of the face and head is expressions. This week was drawing sad, angry, disgusted and afraid faces. Then marking what muscles I thought are activating them. Some better than others – I think disgusted and afraid came out best.
Gavin the expressionless Thomson
Sad face, Angry face, Disgusted face, Afraid face So- next in my quest to draw not as crap pictures of the face and head is expressions.
Hey,
Lady with Hat
Last week I to the ‘Dr Sketchy’s Canberra – Tom Roberts’ event at the National Gallery – which was fun. It’s been a while since I have done the fast life drawing thing.
I forget how intense and exhausted your brain feels when battling to scribble out something in under 2 minutes. I even got a ‘Models favourite picture’ award of Chris the sheep. Was a fun night of scantily clad ladies, impromptu sing alongs and sexy sheep. ‘Waltzing Matilda’ will now have a much more raunchy tone to it in my mind then it ever has.

Lady face - Man face
Hi, This week was practising of drawing the differences between the male and female face. Mainly comes down to a combination of the size of the keystone (the area between the eyes), and the jaw. Otherwise you’re pretty much just falling back to relying on observation and general shortcuts of making the male face more hard and angled and the female more soft. Here are this week scribbles. Gavin…
Time to face the ..face Faces -those things you see all the time but try not to look anyone of them for too long at once for fear of being considered a weirdo.
Head drawing - Face muscles
Hi again- thanks for heading back, This week – more skull like shapes but now with head muscles. I think my skulls are looking a little better which helps with the face ‘not looking like a squished potato’ thing. Apparently muscles only have a very minor affect of the shape of the face but helpful to know for expressions. Here is some attempts and a video! Gavin the not buff face Thomson …
