I stumbled across this piece while taking a back route behind Portobello Road. You can find it in St Lukes Mews, W11. I thought the style looked familiar, and took care to photograph as much detail as I could… and lo! When I got home and checked, I had already spotted another piece by the same artist (click here to see that one).
Weekword: Dragon

Last week’s Weekword turned into a WeekendWord, but nonetheless I hope we’ll have lots of entries! It’s being hosted by Carmen over at Tails of a Biomouse, so pop over there to see what she’s come up with and find a list of the other participants.
I love dragons, but it’s a pretty wide spectrum so how to narrow it down? My first thought was The Hobbit, and I’m excited about the new film being released this year: partly because I love the book, and partly because Smaug is being voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch (who has possibly the most delicious voice ever).
Ok, that’s a starting point, so where to go from there? Let’s try a drawing shall we? I’ve never drawn a dragon before, and do struggle to draw things which aren’t in front of me… so I had a shufty on Google and found a photo of the delightful Mr. Cumberbatch:
Then I sketched a rough outline of his face…
I did say rough, yes? After that I just tried to turn that face into a dragonish face, with a certain amount of success I think
It’s not great, but it’s not a total washout either. I think I’ll have another play with it later and see if I can’t improve the resemblance a bit.
Thanks for reading, and if you fancy joining in with the next Weekword then have a look at Carmen’s blog to find out who she’s tagged for this week.
