In my never-ending (read tedious) quest for self-improvement (chant: “I must keep my PMT to myself”, “I must think before I speak”, “I must not laugh so loudly when other people trip over”, “I must not fill every moment of silence with another stupid story”, etc), I am also seeking to “draw out of the box”, so to speak.
Forever I’m trying to snatch fineliner pens out of students’ hands claiming they “murder the line” and render all the lovely pencil work a backwash. Sadly I’ve recently seen the work of some illustrators who seem to have tamed the murderous pen so I am forced to overcome yet another self-limiting rule. Sigh. But like a complete deviant once said to me – It’s only strange the first time.
Offering #1 in fineliner: Kate Moss in fur, from the current September British Vogue. Notice the date in my supposedly daily drawing diary – seems I’m 2 months & 4 days behind.

OK! You have teased us enough with your never-ending supply of creative illustrations. When, oh when, are you coming out with your cards and bookmarks Ms. Patsyfox?

A german guy I met o/s. Sounded all the more deviant-like with the accent…
