Officer Eema has stumbled upon a curious race of lifeforms. Luckily they appear to be harmless and better still, they have a natural gift for guiding lost individuals. #drawingroom #characterdesign #aliens

Belugatoons International Podcast Day Special

This episode was streamed live on YouTube 30th Sep 2018

A bit of a last-minute episode for this special day for podcasters around the world.

The Drawing Room LIVE - Eema

Thank you for 100,000 page views!

What makes this even more exciting is that, as some of you may remember, 2 years ago this page got to 50,000 views and I joked that, "Maybe in another 8 years we might get to 100,000".
It took 8 years to reach 50,000 views and only 2 years to double that amount!

Thank you all for visiting my web site. I can't tell you how supportive you have been.

The Drawing Room LIVE - The Royal Chinchilla

Sorry for the short notice. I did a live stream on YouTube today. Here are the rather strange drawings I came up with.

Alien cop sketches

Some more doodles of Vicky

Streamless sketches

Annoyingly, I'm having trouble streaming again so I'll just be working on sketches privately and I'll try to remember to post them here each week.

3rd September - More animal characters

I'm going to do a live stream today... I think

Time for an update on the situation involving my YouTube channel.
Over a month ago, I posted a video in which I explained why I had disappeared for a bit. I mentioned that OBS wasn't streaming efficiently and it turned out all I needed to do was delete Google Chrome. Since then, it has become clear that there may be other reasons why I was getting such poor streaming from OBS. It's kind of hard to pinpoint the exact culprit because not only have I seen changes happen from deleting different files, mostly from Google Photos, but also it is entirely possible that my actions are not actually linked to the problem being resolved. It's a head-scratcher and for now I'm going to assume that I don't have complete control over this.

I have also been spending less time on drawing and podcasting. This is mostly because the inability to stream has made it hard for me to stay motivated. I did have plans to do some special live streams for special occasions in future. I might still do that but it's hard to make plans because I simply can't promise that these live streams will actually happen. This year has involved a lot of distracting issues that I have spent a lot of time addressing and I could go on at length, but I'm just going to say that there are two possible outcomes from this. Either I will carry on with things as they are, or go away and spend some time on new projects for YouTube and my podcast. Seeing as my channel is nearly 10 years old, it seems appropriate to think about new things.



Update: I did do a live stream today and you can watch it here!

Audio Junk #231 - Something to get used to

The Drawing Room LIVE - Tearful Squirrel

To make things a bit more fun, I set the challenge of randomly selecting an adjective and a noun as prompts for each drawing and this was the result!

Thank you to all the artists who inspired this video.

How to take part in the #DrawThisInyourStyle challenge

I posted this over a week ago but since this is such a fun challenge, I wanted to let more people know about it.
A lot of artists on Instagram have recently been drawing each other's artwork and using the hashtag #drawthisinyourstyle. I'm encouraging people to draw Theresa in their own style. Below is a link to the post with all the details you need. If you want to have a go, great! Don't forget to tag me in your picture so I can find it.

Have fun!

Here's a picture of my OC Theresa for the #drawthisinyourstyle challenge! To participate, simply draw this character in your own style and upload it with the hashtag #belugatoons (or just tag me). I’ll make a story featuring all entries. #artchallenge #drawingchallenge #originalcharacter #drawthisinyourstylechallenge
