One Hundred Days - Day One Hundred!

Bloody hell. 100 days already? Where did the time go?
I had the idea for this one last week. Unfortunately it hasn't come out anything like I wanted it to. Its still quite cool though.
My favorite bit is the robot from day 91 finally flying. He looks so happy.


Quite a few times over the last 100 days, I've happily finished a picture, uploaded it onto twitpic and posted it on twitter, only to then notice something thats not quite right or could be slightly improved. However, I've resisted the urge to fix it, and stuck to the idea that the twitpic uploaded picture is the final one. Until today. When I realised I'd left out The Thing That Lives in My Room.
So enjoy this Director's (Blogger's?) Cut of my final #100days pic!


I have also decided I'm going to continue doing a daily drawing. I've definately improved over the last few months, and so has my confidence. Plus it's so much fun!
I probably will miss a few days, like when I'm too busy, way too tired, or just can't think of anything, but I will endevour to do more days than I miss.

One Hundred Days - Day Ninety Six

And here we reach the eleventh, and final, (so far) Doctor. Comparing him to William Hartnell from day 4, I have definately improved. still can't seem to get feet right though...


So far Matt Smith looks like he's going to be a great Doctor. Only a few weeks to go til we find out...

One Hundred Days - Day Ninety Five

Another Doctor. This time Doctor number ten. He seems to be giving a really sexy look there and I'm not sure how it happened as the figure I used for reference definately wasn't.

One Hundred Days - Day Eighty Nine

At last we're back to the Doctors! Quite pleased with how this one came out, but his head seems to be too small for his body...

One Hundred Days - Day Eighty Four

More Doctor Who-ness, but not a Doctor. Instead its one of my favourite old-time villains, an Ice Warrior. Please, Mr Moffat. Isn't it about time we saw these guys again?

One Hundred Days - Day Seventy Nine

Another Doctor, and another without a figure to use for reference. However I am MUCH happier about how this one came out than Sylvester McCoy. Maybe even better than Colin Baker too.
Paul McGann is who I officially name as the first Doctor I saw. I clearly remember watching it one weekend afternoon in 1996, and loving every minute of it. Although it wasn't until it came back in 2005 that I became properly obsessed...
I know the 1996 TV movie gets a lot of stick, and now that I've seen every episode ever I can see why, but it still holds a place in my heart, and despite the slightly dodgy storyline, Paul is still a brilliant Doctor and one of my favourites. His Big Finish audio plays are great too...heres hoping we'll get to see him on screen again....one day....

One Hundred Days - Day Seventy Six

Another Doctor at last! Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor. Technically the first Doctor I ever saw, as he regenerates at the start of the 1996 TV Movie.
This was also the first Doctor to draw where I didn't have an action figure to use for reference. I don't know why, but I much prefer having a figure to use as reference instead of photographs. I'm not sure why, I guess because I can position it how I want it, and view it from any angle, instead of having to find photographs that are as close to what I want as possible and end up having to compromise between them and my vision.



Two weeks after drawing this, Character Options announced they were releasing a Seventh Doctor figure, exclusive to Forbidden Planet, which will come out mid March.

One Hundred Days - Day Seventy Two

Another Doctor, this time the Sixth. I think this is the best one yet...which is a little annoying as Colin Baker is probably my least favourite Doctor....

One Hundred Days - Day Seventy One

Continuing [kinda] Doctor Week, here is Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor.

One Hundred Days - Day Seventy

Today begins (what was meant to be) Doctor week! I'd put off doing Tom for so long, I decided to get all the Doctors out the way as soon as possible. Here he is at last, the Fourth Doctor.

One Hundred Days - Day Sixty Six

Building up to continuing with my attempt to draw all Eleven Doctors...I warmed up a bit by drawing the Tenth Doctor's hand-in-a-jar.

One Hundred Days - Day Sixty One

The mini-Dalek found its first victim today :(


Really pleased with how this came out. It was a really quick job, but quite effective. I just wish I knew why the Lego skeletons have freakishly long arms...

One Hundred Days - Day Fifty Nine

CYBERMAN! I watched Tomb of the Cybermen today, which is one of my favourite Doctor Who stories and, along with The Moonbase, has my favourite design of Cyberman of all time.

One Hundred Days - Day Fifty

I really wanted to draw something spectacular for Day 50, but unfortunately I was still suffering from a nasty cold. Here is The Eight Doctors instead. Hopefully to be the Eleven Doctors soon? Just need Character Options to get their arses in gear and sculpt Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann.

One Hundred Days - Day Forty Nine

This is a crap picture, I know. I came down with an awful cold today and felt too crappy to draw anything and wasn't feeling particularly inventive photo wise, so i just took one of my Doctor Who DVD cases on the shelf. Like my book pile photo, it is already out of date. The gaps in the classic series have already been filled, and even more on top of that.

One Hundred Days - Day Forty Six

Just took a quick photo today. My big pile of books to read which has already grown, and started to shrink again, since this was taken.

One Hundred Days - Day Forty Five

Today the Classic Spacemen have a dangerous Encounter!

One Hundred Days - Day Thirty Two

I very nearly forgot about 100days yesterday. I think it must have been because I didn't upload the new years eve pic until the morning so somewhere at the back of my brain a little voice was trying to tell me I'd already done it when I hadn't. Also I was preoccupied with the brilliant finale of Doctor Who featuring the regeneration of poor Mr Tennant.

But enough of excuses. I was determined to draw something instead of just taking another photo (and I had no idea what to take a photo of) so between 11:50 and midnight I drew this quick, rough sketch of the TARDIS.

I very much enjoyed the Doctor Who finale, which was mildly surprising considering RTD's previous efforts, which are usually a little disappointing. A brilliant send off for Doctor ten, and really looking forward to seeing where Matt Smith and Steven Moffat take it in the spring.

One Hundred Days - Days Eighteen, Nineteen and Twenty

Apparently I keep forgetting to update my blog. Will try to keep it up in future. I've still been doing my daily project, just about, so here they are:

Another attempt at the Doctor. not particularly happy with this one, but not sure why.



Nearly forgot on day nineteen, so I doodled a quick 'self portrait' in the last 15 minutes before midnight.


Spent a bit more time on todays picture. Borrowed a recent photo of one of Tara's ponies all wrapped up in the snow and used it as a reference to draw him.
