Doodling with some texture brushes




Oh show <3 

Got most of my Christmas shopping done yesterday AND went to see Richard the second, courtesy of Donmar Discovery (thank you Donmar Warehouse!).  I appreciated that it was a period production, because they did a fabulous job with the atmosphere and music.  The whole room smelled of incense and the set had a lovely distressed look with a lot of gold flecks.  I went in with no prior knowledge of the play, so it was a little tricky to keep track of all the characters, but I managed well enough.  Richard himself was played brilliantly; you completely write him off in the beginning as sort of shallow and stupid, but later when things begin to go wrong he really gets to stretch his acting muscles!
