REBECCA TOBIN

Hello again tumblr, I have my internet back! To celebrate, here are two feral children I’ve been drawing a lot recently. He was raised by owls, she was raised by tigers.

I had a dream about a cat that was amazing. It was just glorious.

A (semi) true story.

Hello tumblr, I’ve just got back from a festival, it was amazing. This is a sketch I drew on another camping trip this summer to east Yorkshire.

A watercolour illustration I’ve been working on, and now finished!

So in Homeric poetry, repeated phrases (epithets) are used to describe certain characters and pieces of scenery, helping the bard and audience remember the poem as well as sounding lovely. ‘The wine-dark sea’ and ‘rosy-fingered dawn’ are two examples I’ve always found particularly beautiful so I drew them. 

My scanner has returned! Hooray! To celebrate, here are some morris dancers I saw and then drew whilst camping in Yorkshire. Without morris dancers in the mix somewhere, it just doesn’t feel like summer.

Also, it’s coloured in photoshop, I’m trying to become better at using it.

This is a little preview of some watercolour work I’ve been doing. To be scanned in when the scanner is fixed.

I think everyone knows a dog like this. 

I’ve been working on quite a few projects recently that are not quite ready to hit the tumblrverse which is why my updates have been a bit sporadic, it’ll end soon I promise.

Okay so the whole country’s going insane and my scanner and I are having disputes so here’s a comic from a while ago. Barrista/customer conversations are often awesome.

Stay safe all you UK guys.

The only thing to do after a day of travelling is to sit on your bed whilst playing embarrassing songs embarrassingly badly on the ukulele. 

Goodnight tumblr.

A memory from a long time ago. When I was a kid I was under the impression that having facial hair was a requirement for artists. I mean, Van Gough had a beard right?

A comic about my friend Sophie’s cat. Click for big!

When staying in Canada, I practiced drawing landscapes.

Hey guys. I just woke up and it’s 4am and I’ve got to get on a plane. I don’t think I’ve had to wake up at 4am for years (possibly ever?) Anyway, I thought it would make sense to post these comics I did when super jet lagged.
