So, I'm turning like a million years old today. This is how I look at the moment... but I feel young inside. NO! the other way around... this is me inside... no that's not it... anyway... this is an old me. It's cooler to draw myself as an old person, for some reason. yay! send me cards, hug me, give me cake! woooo

I've been meaning to color my Dr. Who leftling for a while. I finally found the time. I wonder what he'd say if he saw it.

Well, almost. This is turning to be a longer process than I thought but I reckon very soon I will be able to carry on doing more leftlings. Not that anyone's chasing me for them.

This morning on my way to work, I was wondering what to draw next, when I saw this man standing in such an epic pose that I had no doubt he was next. Standing on the Canning Town platform, looking at the horizon as if saying 'go on! make me a leftling!'. So I did.

Following the steps of
rainy day I decided to try its opposite. Personally I don't think I achieved the charisma of the first one, so if you allow me I will try again. I do like it! I just think it could be better.

Today I went for speed, it took me about 2 or 3 minutes to finish up this guy I made up. I remember seeing recently someone somewhere with a concave nose-to-chin shape like that, so that's where I started. I'm sure I can beat that time.

This is me yesterday evening after I had a pint of lagger with my mate
Sam. These days that's all I need to feel tipsy, I must be getting old. Needless to say that I was a bit woozy when I drew it (not when I coloured it) * hic!

It's amazing how sometimes people are so immerse in their thoughts that they even manage to defy gravity without realizing! Take this guy for example, it seemed to me that he should have fallen over ages ago, but ignoring gravity seems to do the trick!

So, I've been to the Post Office several times this week trying to send off an application form and each time there is something wrong with it or with the pictures attached or something, so I've had to get another one and fill it in again and again. I almost know the form by heart now and I'm carrying all the failed forms, plus the new ones and about 12 pictures of myself. What started as sending off a simple form and a couple of papers is turning into a race of bureaucratic hurdles. aaargh!

After I drew this guy (whom I saw for 30 seconds on a train going the opposite direction) I saw quite a few other men sitting in the exact same position, the only thing that changed was the gadget they were holding. Perhaps it sounds boring but to me it was a fascinating realization. If we still lived in caves I already know what I'd draw on the walls!

There was a handful of loud screechy teenagers on the train, they had surrounded this man but he managed to keep his stoic expression, he didn't blink or wince or felt intimidated. He carried on reading his newspaper as if he was sitting in a quiet library. I still wonder sometimes if he was real at all.

Sometimes people get so much into their thought on the train that they look as if they were on a trance. You have to wonder if they are solving the problems of the world in their heads or trying to remember if they watered the plants as his wife asked them earlier. I bet this happens to me a lot. Although I'm pretty sure I watered them.

The drawing might not show it but this is a very distinguished looking old man waiting on the opposite platform. If he's not a very important person I think he should be one, he looks the part!

As of today my normal commuting route has changed and it's a bit weird, so while I get used to it I will be
leftlingifying random people I see on the train. Meet Mr. Curls, he's got a suitcase and is sweating like a hound... pretty much like me. He looks pleased, it must have been a good day. Lucky him!

A-ha! you thought I had forgotten. Well no! I was pretty dazed last week with the office move, but now I'm back on my feet. As promised I give you Sir Roger George Moore, well known for his suave and witty demeanour. Best known for portraying two British action heroes, Simon Templar and James Bond.
For the previous James Bond I sketched with pencil before inking and I kept feeling the results were not the same as with usual leftling portraits, this time I went straight for the ink and I have to say I am really pleased. I hope you like him too.

Apologies. I didn't have time to draw Roger Moore as you'd expect next. Instead I draw someone I saw on the train home last night. I don't think I've seen someone so concentrated in his Sudoku ever. I kind of know the feeling, specially with the one they publish on Fridays which is next to impossible. Quite cruel for a Friday treat.

I just looked this word up in the dictionary and I found this:
Dazed:
Adjective.
(adj) dazed, stunned, stupefied, stupid (in a state of mental numbness especially as resulting from shock).
So if you count waking up as a shock, then dazed is how I feel right now.

Have you ever noticed that when you draw a character performing an activity, if you're right handed the character is left handed and vice versa? This might explain why characters like Bart Simson is left handed. Weird eh?
