A black and white self portrait by Herbert ponting taken in Antarctica

Yeah every time you see this picture it looks more amazing - look at the focal range - everything from the foreground to the ship is perfectly in focus. But pointing was not just a great photographer - he was a great character too - he took this self portrait

A black and white inked illustration in a cartoon style of a half shark, half human (shark head) character wearing a hoodie and a backpack. He’s walking to school

Ha ha, just found this on my iPad, not sure if I’ve shared it before… but seeing as it’s #portfolioday why not :)

Shark boy, on the way to school

A black and white inked illustration of a space alien who’s landed looks like a cross between a slug and a cucumber wearing a spacesuit. He looks like he is floating in space and his mouth is wide open in surprise #illustration #blackandwhiteillustration #scifi #graphicnovel

This is of course factually correct. Apart from Luke in the Bacta tank no-one takes a wash in the whole series....

A coloured inked comic illustration of Han Solo on hoth in his giant parka coat, riding on a cold look Tauntaun. Both hsn and the Tauntaun have a speech bubble. Han is saying 'i though these things smelled bad from the outside' the Tauntaun replies 'dude, you can talk. You haven't washed since Tatooine' which if you've seen the films is true, no one washes :)

Oh hi Sarah, just seen this - I really like it! I love the subtle orange and pinks on the underside of the clouds.

I find myself liking this very much. And must be one of the best noodie Imp butts I've seen this week

A black and white illustration of a cute space alien in a space suit. This is an alternative version to the one I posted above on a black background

I did another version on an inked background… can’t decide which one I like more, so I’ll add them both :)

A sketchbook page of four poses from my young boy's early morning football session. Showing running, dodging, twisting and turning while controlling a football

Sketchbooking from our little boy's morning's football training. Pretty happy with capturing the movement and poses as it was raining and just above freezing out there.

Gotta do it, whatever the weather :)

A cartoony colour illustration of an anthropomorphic cloud with floating and a face. This one is sticking his tongue out and looking cheeky

A cartoony colour illustration of an anthropomorphic cloud with floating and a face. This one has its thumbs up and a big smile - the caption says Hey!

Most people draw clouds as lovely fluffy shapes…. But what if they were characters with cheeky personalities, that would be cool :)

An inked comic panel in a cartoon of style of the scene from the Empire strikes back where Luke has been captured by the wampa and is hanging upside down in his ice cave. As Luke is upside down his clothes are hanging down so you can see his red spotted pants - or underwear (depending on uk/us :) ) the wampa is walking into the cave saying 'hey, nice pants'

Hey, nice pants Luke. The idea came from a tiny sketchpad gag, made me laugh so I inked it up :)

A inked illustration in a comic style of Luke in the wampa cave from Star Wars. He’s dangling from the roof of the ice cave trying to reach his lightsaber which is starting to move….could be the force…. As he is hanging upside down you can see his red polka dot pants (if you are English) or underwear (if you are from the US)

Daily sketch from a little while ago but….. Luke in the Wampa cave.

Nice undies :)

A photo of a page of pencil sketches with some pencils that have been sharpened so many times there’s hardly anything left of them….but I still use them :)

Ha ha :) hi Gail, this just popped up in my feed….. seems I do exactly the same thing.

I actually have a box of 12 brand new mono 100s, but I want to get the very last out of these first :)

An inked comic style illustration of the scene from star wars of princess Leia trying to record her message on r2d2 the speech bubble says 'how the &*#"! do you record on one of these?'

Oh and you might like this in a similar style - if it was 1978 you had to press play AND record at the same time back then....

Ah thanks. I have done a version with a speech bubble gag - I'll post that up when I get a minute

An inked sketch in a comic style of a bit wearing an apron serving up an ice cream. He has a hair cut that looks like a scoop of ice cream :)

Cool character design of the day :) anyone for ice-cream.

And yeah, I gave him ice cream hair :)
