Irony, which as Ted says is like Goldery, or Silvery...

The red oxide colour scheme seems to have "pinked" up a bit in scanning, but never mind.. It's  a Sketch challenge, NOT a long winded arty challenge.
All done, ready for Ten Ton Studio Sketch Challenge tomorrow.

Inked iron

Sat down with a bottle of lovely Sam Smith's brown Ale (thankyou Lisa and Stephen) and inked up the Iron man pic.. I was going to try for an etched look, but blew it half way through, and unfortunately this means lots of spidery hatching lines, using the 0.3mm Staedtler pigment liner.
and nowhere near enough shadow for my liking.
I will make amends with a little colour perhaps, having not learnt my lesson about colouring stuff.

Flashback, to the days when the nights were young...

Ten ton Forum sketch challenge this week is "flashback", a superhero in another era...
I had a go at IronMan as a World War One fighter ace, but there are issues, like his arm getting lopped off the the prop...
anyways, I'll ink it up, but have another idea on the boiler, might get a chance to draw it up before I blast off to Nottingham on Wednesday.
