I wasn't sure if B&Bs was one of those things we have in the UK and nowhere else would get the (not actually that funny) joke. I kept trying to draw details of honeycomb on a shape and failing miserably so went back to the drawing board and drew some blobs. I recommend it, it has helped. If in doubt - draw blobs 
! I'm still non the clearer of any design yet. Sticking with round shapes before I tackle any technical hexagons. Please excuse how rough these are.
I love coming up with the little details, it's the best bit. It's all fun and games when you are drawing little scribbles. I'm guessing I will be wishing I had followed 'less is more' when I try to draw the real thing. 
Hiya,
I'm loving everyone's inn wips at the moment. So much creativity going on. Looking forward to seeing the finished concepts.
Thank you again for the feedback regarding my bee (the poor thing is still without a name - Buzzbee? Barnabee?)
When I started the traveller brief last month I was planning on using the theme of the three prompts to try and make three coherent pieces to add to my portfolio. In my mind I already had a story for him and an idea of where he lived before he was finished.
I really like the inn prompt - I already had some hive/home visions that seemed ok but now it's come to creating one, none actually work.
As my brain is writing cheques that my skills can't cash at the moment I have gone right back to the basics and started just looking at ref and drawing shapes.
I know I would like:
- called the Buzz Inn (buzzing)
- honeycomb for the inn rooms, like a Japanese pod hotel, visible on the outside, (slightly rounded hexagons? with numbers on doors or just curtains)
- an outdoor bar area - such as a window box of flowers/beer taps being fed from flowers because bees drink flower nectar (would be nice to have this but not essential)
- hanging from a tree branch like a natural hive
- hive-like appearance with bits sticking out
- hexagons/rounded shapes (although need to think of a way of combing straight and curved shapes)
I think I'm going to have trouble shoe-horning all of this into one building but I'm going to have a good go at it just to see if I can actually do it without it becoming a big jumbled mess. I may run out of time to do it all.
Here is what I have come up with so far. It's not much as I can only do bits and bobs in the evenings due to work (non illustration) so I think it's going to be a very slow process.
Could I ask one question please? Are B&Bs (Bed & Breaksfast hotels) just a British thing or are they in all countries?
Feedback always appreciated.
Thank you
Liz
