Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I made a spiced carrot cake for our tea break; I warmed it in the microwave for a few seconds before serving it. This is an older model who has some amazing tattoos; lizards chasing flies and spiders into carnivorous plants all over her body. She has a gorgeous pink, patterned kimono-style robe. This is a twenty-minute pose that I drew on my Samsung Galaxy tablet using the Markers free app. It’s dead handy for colour work because I’m a bit lazy and don’t really want to set up my watercolours or inks. It’s pretty packed out so there’s not much room anyway.
AND IT’S MY 900th POST!

900 posts?! That’s amazing. Keep up the good work, I’m loving seeing your art and hearing about the wonderful ways you connect with other artists. It’s very inspiring. I’m feeling very isolated and you (and Cory huff) have inspired me to reach out by placing an ad on a local online marketplace. I hope I get some replies : )
Think it might work?

Thank you Bella. I’ve never used an online marketplace but I find Facebook incredibly useful for connecting. Good luck 🙂
Love the colours in this and just the posture that you’ve captured. Mind couldn’t help but wander into thinking about the idea of carrot cake whilst reading through the rest of the post though… show us the cakes! 😉
Lol, maybe I’ll put one in tonight’s post
Forgot to congratulate you on your 900th post by the way. Impressive!! 😀
Thanks 😀
The tats looks discrete, bu the model doesn’t 🙂
She’s quite a character 😀
You’re getting quite adept at drawing with that tablet. It really does seem to fit the bill for quick sketches and even more intricate compositions.
Thank you. It’s very convenient.
