Mr Owl – Week 10 : Awkward Romance

Hello everyone! And welcome to yet another weekly recap. But look!! The design of the banner changed! How crazy is that? Pretty crazy I’d say.

This week started on the 9th of January 2016… I mean 2017. Aaah I’m never getting used to this. Anyways. This week Mr Owl has been feeling his heart beating faster, and also skipped some. He met the author of the love letter he received on week 7!

MONDAY

Well look who just turned up at the party! Mr Owl can hardly believe it. « Was she really waving at me from the beginning? », he thinks

TUESDAY

Mr Owl saw The Lady. Now he’s a bit confused about what his next step should be. « Hello, my name is Mr Owl. Yes, like a night bird », he rehearses in his head.

WEDNESDAY

Mr Owl finally went up to her, and offered a dance. « He doesn’t even know my name », she thinks

THURSDAY

These beautiful people are turning round and round the dance floor. « Let’s not tread on each other’s feet », they think.

FRIDAY

Our lovely people decided to have a walk in the neighbourhood. « There’s nothing like a starry sky », they think

SATURDAY

The Lady just told him a joke, so Mr Owl can’t help but to laugh out loud. He almost ends up rolling on the floor laughing. « Hahahahahaha (…) ha. », he thinks

SUNDAY

Apparently the previous joke wasn’t a joke. The Lady really has bear feet. « Hahem », says Mr Owl.

And there you have it! I’m rather happy with a few drawings I did this week. Especially the hands on the first drawing, I somehow found a convincing posture. It’s something I like about Mr Owl : he doesn’t have hands, so he’s easier to sketch haha. That’s a reason why I took more time on this week’s drawings, the lady is not as cartoony as Mr Owl, so I have to pay a lot more attention to her proportions, postures etc. But in the end I think it pays off to spend more time on each piece. I think in a few months or years I’ll be happier to look back at something that’s more polished.

Other than this, I used a few textures as background (pavement for the dancefloor, and a picture of tower bridge) and I feel like it makes the image a lot more « convincing », whatever that means.

That’s it for this week. I won’t draw Mr Owl this week cause I have to work a lot, and have a lot on my plate otherwise. But I hope next week will be better… To be continued!

Take care of yourself.
