In a vaguely unplanned move, bearing in mind this mornings blog post, I found myself on a bus,  then on a train and then on another bus with only the Hudl to draw on and play with... (and indeed I could quite happily have played Plants vs Zombies 2 but I'm stuck on a level and it's driving me up a wall). So time to draw it was.

Way back in the dim (me) and distant (past) I used to time my pictures by the bus journeys  I took to and from work (45 mins either way). Nowadays I tend to walk to work (different place, would be ten mins on the bus what with all the stops and traffic but is only twenty mins to walk so seems a no-brainer to me) which this gives me less travel drawing time. Today was nice in that it gave me an hour and a half to draw and I do like to create images while commuting. Hence this:

Initial scribble.




 

Cleaned up scribble. At the time I was going to do something with tablets in the paint coming out of the tube... However.... 



...when I started to block in the colours I found myself with a world/land and sea sort of colour scheme going on, so I swapped over to that.



And then, just at the end (of the train journey) I added in a background colour just for the fun of it. Probably needs muting a little, that said it looked better on the tablet and it may be my laptop which isn't showing me the correct colours.



On the bus journey back home I made a couple of quick edits to say a 'good luck' to a friend who's the excellent masterbrain behind the amazing Art of the Street coolness about to take over Maidenhead on Saturday morning.


So there you have it. An hour and a half of doodling with not much in the way of thought process. Hope you like.
