I know that Liverpool is the seat of creation.in my teen years I wrote this, and a few other songs. I know I’m not  the next ‘beautiful south’ but I’d Love an honest appraisals of what I’ve achieved.

Also I’d love to hear the song/remixes/or anything creative our fellow rawkites haves done.😘😘😘😘

I don’t care if it mixing, knitting, rapping, rhyming, or or anything... show your skills

This proves that I'm a better painter than photographer.

That's pretty good Did you just write it or also perform?! Which one is you?

I'm a serial amateur in all of my hobbies, so not worthy of a post

Wow, love your style! I actually really love drawing, but have never mastered the digital art form. I particularly like the 'flat' style (like the heart on your landing page). Since I cannot draw it myself (yet), I subscribe to Freepik so I can use these illustrations in my presentations and documentation   

What tools are you using?

[The G in Gerrard]

Imperator & Zlen some good stuff there. You ever done tattoo designs

Not that good really mate; you've left big white splodges everywhere.
Get yourself a decent paint roller and go over it again.
Make sure you move that great painting out of the way first though

Just watched that along with Tape head ( great video ) and Tell me why ( my favourite so far ).
Great stuff and really easy to get into

Could learn a thing or two from Mr Bean!

Thanks man.
I would either work in Adobe Illustrator using a Wacom tablet or on the iPad Pro using the Procreate app and Apple Pencil.

I prefer the Illustrator approach, simply as using layered vectors gives me infinite scaleability and also lets me animate the illustrations down the line.
Also I like the infinite crispness of such artwork. There is an article linked from the Red illustrations page that explains in detail how my process.
(Short story - I use the most clunky tool in Illustrator to draw a bazillion small, organic shapes).

Wish I had more time to draw these days.

Nice, will dig into that tonight  I actually have a Wacom Intuos M, but have not got used to looking at my computer screen instead of down at the pad while drawing. Maybe an iPad would be a better option (or a Cintiq, though I'm not sure on the resolution..).

[Zlen]

I can't recommend the iPad + Procreate enough.
First of all, the Pencil (even the old one) has most pressure steps than my Wacom Pro.
iPad screen and colour reproduction is immaculate.
It's also incredibly convenient and the Procreate app is the absolute pinnacle for useability, quality brushes and sheer fun.

It's what I dreamt of decades ago when I started digital art/design and it has crushed that lower end of the market.
Wacom still rules with Citniq for high end pro use - but iPad beats anything unless you invest five digits into gear.

Disregard my fetish for vectors, iPad + Pencil has almost no flaws in terms of output and new iPad Illustrator is coming soon anyway.
