A quick update with what I've been doing

The Tower IX- 3rd proof

The tower plate is coming along, slowly but I'm definitely making some kind of progress with it. Tutor would rather I avoid aquatinting all together. So that means I have a lot more linework to be doing. Oh well.

The Hermit - Time

A quick drypoint a did a few nights ago. I've not done aluminium drypoint in a year and a half at least. So this was just me trying to remember what worked and what doesn't. I quite like how the lines come up so chunky and almost smoky.  I plan to do a bunch more of these, if not for the exhibition , just for the experience.

Finally heres a few pages from my sketchbook recently. I had a bit of a regression to looking at Avatar: the last airbender concepts and stills, so these few pages are mostly martial arts poses.

Tower proof

Just to show the Tower as it stands in it's first proof. My scanner isn't large enough for this, (the plate alone is about A3 in size) so I had to take a photo. 

Also, I didn't etch it long enough to get the background details in as much as I wanted. So I'm going to re-ground it and try again tomorrow. Hopefully more progress on this to show then.
