I have eventually started the Marco Simoncelli portrait today. I was meaning to start it 2 days ago but unfortunately I had to delay the start as my fiance 'Lorna' twisted her ankle while we were out walking our dogs on sunday morning :-( I had to carry her home like a wounded soldier and have until today been more of the 'chief cook and bottle washer' as she has been in quite some pain and so has had to rest with no pressure on her foot.

Anyway I managed to get started today as Lorna's ankle is feeling much better now.
I am using a schoelershammer 4g A0 board for this project as I want to combine 3 different pics of Marco into the one portrait. I started drawing and had two of the pics pencil drawn out before I realised that I wanted to draw onto application tape on top of the board and so had to rub the original drawings out and apply the tape and start all over again :-(
I stopped after the first drawing as my right hand (my dystrophy one) started to ache a bit, I reckon from all the rubbing out the first attempt at drawings.
I shall give it a rest for the remainder of the day and finish of the other 2 drawings tomorrow and maybe even start to apply some colour :-)
