Hi guys, another long silence I know. It’s busy with the train driver’s course - on top of regular driving I’ve had training for and taken a couple more exams (all passed, thankfully). It’s coming to an end though - within a few months I should be driving independently! Looking forward to it, as well as being able to pick up drawing again.

To show I’m not dead, here’s some more illustrations from last year’s big commission: the sperm whale. Males are quite differently proportioned from females, most notably that huge head! On big bulls it can be almost 1/3 of their total length - I’ve kept it a bit more modest here because at some point it just starts looking wrong to me lol. I’m very pleased with how these came out. I feel I’ve never managed to get sperm whales right, but these two are much more to my satisfaction (especially the female). Couldn’t resist putting some elaborate markings on the male because they are just so pretty. I hope you’ll like these swimming sonar-boosters too!
