I have to resist the urge to moan about how rotten my October has been. Health wise it hasn't been wonderful but I mention it here only so I can look back at this in Octobers to come and hopefully feel, however cold and miserable, at least it was better than that. Just a couple of weeks ago the azalea started flowering again and we thought it was strange until I checked back on the blog and found it had done exactly the same thing last year! How quickly we forget. At least the blog is useful for keeping track of such trivia!I drew this little guy at the weekend to try and cheer myself up. I felt sorry for him when I spotted him in the Sultan Centre supermarket in Kuwait but as I drew him I realised he has a Christmas hat on! The dreaded C word has suddenly appeared in the shops and on TV recently so I suppose it is timely!
HB, B and 2B pencil.

Very different subject matter for you but the same gorgeous pencil work!! I love it.
He's wonderful!
I'm sorry to hear your October has been less than stellar. Mine has sailed past so fast I feel like I missed whole weeks of it.
I absolutely adore this drawing! It would make the most wonderful Christmas card. I'm trying to guess what the caption might say.
Thanks so much Teri!
r.e., I remember that you like autumn/fall (too cold for me!)- maybe that has something to do with it? Mine felt like it sailed past as I was lying in bed :(
Thanks Jana! Now why didn't I think of that?
My October hasn't been the best either, Felicity....let's hope November will make up for it.
Your drawing is exquisite as always.....I love the detail and shading. This robot toy is similar to one my oldest son had when he was a child. The one my son had was made from plastic bottle tops.
This is too cute, FElicity!! And I agree about October ... here's looking forward to November!!! LOL Giving a 'go' to something different can be a challenge and a stretch that makes us return to our 'regular' work with a freshness that really helps! I love this little fellow!
Oh, he's absolutely gorgeous - even with a Christmas hat. (good grief I'm not ready for all that yet) I'm so sorry to hear you've been suffering and don't like autumn-hope you're feeling a bit better now. Bed's good though and always a struggle to leave at the best of times! Normally I find autumn a little miserable too but this year has been so glorious; sunny and warm that I've really enjoyed it. The colours in our local arboreteum (sp?) have been fantastic.
I'm so sorry to hear you've had a horrible October with health problems, Felicity. It's been a bad month all round - not for me but for some dear friends. So bring on November. I've just been catching up with all your posts since my last visit. You're writing like a pro and your drawings, as usual, are so pleasing in the most refined way. I love them.
As a science fiction fan I love your drawing of this toy robot.
