stuff I draw

[themagicroundabout]

I drew a picture of a hand

[Rantz]

I enjoy looking at it but also not. It's nice but uncomfortable. Y'know?

[themagicroundabout]

Yeah, I know, man. I understand. 10 points for anyone who knows who the hand belongs to.

In the meantime, here is a picture that will maybe not make you feel uncomfortable

[Shorty]

The hand picture is neat but I am love loving the giraffe. More, please!

[Rantz]

That is a marvelous giraffe and a quite exquisite background!

[themagicroundabout]

Thanks guys! I'm glad you like the giraffe. This is another picture which is patterns galore! I need to be working on a random doodley pattern thing for a commission so I'll be putting that up somewhere soon, too!

[Shorty]

I am really impressed with your style and the patterns you use with your images. Do you just do these with pens/markers?

[Rantz]

Seriously nice looking stuff, man!

[Quindiana Jones]

Is that me?

These are brilliant, though. I'm tempted to nick the giraffe for my sig, if I may?

[themagicroundabout]

Thanks! I appreciate you guys checking it all out. Shorty, I use inks and a dip pen for drawin', much more fun than markers because you can splash it around and really go wild with it. If that's your thing. I dunno, I have always loved drawing with ink.. But I just recently bought some gouache, so maybe I should get round to trying some paints, too..

Nahh. It's not you, Harley darlin'. Do you have a sweet 'fro like that? Because if so, you got some radical style, man. It's Gil Scott-Heron that un. Also, 'course you can use the giraffe for a signature, I got no problem with that!

Here is another recent drawing,I'm slowly trickling them in post by post to keep you on your toes!

[Quindiana Jones]

You draw hands pretty damn well. I've heard they're typically one of the hardest parts of a human to draw, so nice job.

EDIT: GIRAFFE!

[Pete for President]

These are all really good. Always digging psychedelic stuff! Was that last one a portrait or drawn from imagination? Either way, you clearly have a knack for human anatomy!

[themagicroundabout]

Thanks. Pete, the last one is a portrait of the fantastic djembe player Babatunde Olatunji! and yeah, hands are a bit of a pain to get right which is why I did the first picture (which is actually the most recent). I thought I really needed to practise drawing lots of different hands and stuff, so that was a start or perhaps a long and strange obsession with hands and fingures...

This was my first commission drawing which was a birthday present for someone. It's Tubby Hayes who I have never really listened to myself, but there you go.

[themagicroundabout]

Second commission I have been working on this afternoon!

I have been drawing this, but the person who commissioned me has asked for "When did you leaven Heaven?" to be written in the picture, but my writing is terrible, so I am just trying to figure out a style of writing and background for this.

[Rocket Edge]

Excellent work! You have a very unique style that truly sets you apart. I especially like the shading and the way you use colour.
