Scrat from the Ice Age films. This is a copy of a drawing by Peter de Seve, who designed Scrat and many other characters in the film.
I recommend this short Scrat video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIZzpGLb7i4
The animation is brilliant! The guys doing the film did an amazing job capturing the character from the original sketches.

Let's see if anyone can recognise these two! Post your answers in the comments...

Yep, it's a drawing of Rihanna with Eminem.

So... this is the 4th day I'm missing. 2 of those I didn't draw at all. Bad I know.
I've got a drawing on the go which should be finished in the next couple of days...

I've done some drawing today, but it's a work in progress which I should finish tomorrow...
I'd like to put something a little more polished up this time.

Something a bit different today: I've gone for the traditional still life (but with bananas to add a touch of modernity). This is quite a small drawing (about half an A5 page); done using only a blue coloured pencil.

From "Anatomy for the Artist" by Sarah Simblet. Went climbing today, so I chose this anatomy image which is vaguely related.

Lots of mistakes in this one (drawn from a photo). I did it in layers, using pastels, coloured and graphite pencils and pen. I used whichever colours I had to hand, based on tone and not actual colour, giving this slightly unusual result. Needed a brush to apply white-out to the eyes, but couldn't find one!
Still need to do a lot of work getting proportions and shapes right at the start of the drawing.
