what the hell is this about?

Several friends have embarked on their own P365 journey but as I have no camera nor an eye for photography I've decided to try to complete "a doodle a day" for an entire year. Most will be in my little Derwent A5 sketch book but some could end up being from the corner of some document or scribbled on a newspaper. As the year progresses I will try my hand at inking them as well?

If some of them don't make sense, don't worry, they're probably not meant to. You may notice there will be certain themes along the way and if you know me you'll know why.

I hope you enjoy.

Okay, here goes, every day til I'm 39.

Day #339 - hmm....


I thought I'd have a crack at drawing a spaceship of no real origin tonight and I discovered a few things;
1) have an idea of what you want to draw before you put pencil to paper, even scratch out some thumbnails
2) use the same style throughout
3) I can't draw spaceships for shit

That said, I do like where I was going with the front half of this ship but the back carpet doesn't match the curtains if you know what I mean, it's like some cut two spaceships and welded them together, I tried to rescue it as you can see from the scribbled ideas around the back but in the end I decided to end it as the dreadful embarrassment that it is.
