Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I started drawing with my Samsung Galaxy tablet and the darn thing ran out of battery! So I had to go old school and use pen and paper; Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen size F in sepia into a Khadi handmade paper sketchbook, pre coloured with a tea bag.
I’ve hardly used pen and paper for life drawing since I’ve had the tablet and I really enjoyed getting traditional again. Our model is new and it’s always a challenge for me to draw someone unfamiliar, but it’s a reasonable likeness. The foreshortening was also a challenge and I’m not too happy with bits of it, but overall it’s okay. It took about 40 minutes. She’s sitting on an old bentwood chair with a red velvet seat that’s been knocking around the Workshop for donkey’s years.

Great drawing, you can’t beat old school
I really enjoyed doing it. Maybe I will leave off the new technology for a while 😊
Nothing beats pen and paper ….. lovely drawing.
Thank you 🙂
It’s really a beautiful sketch. Very impressive. Have a lovely weekend!
Thank you, and you have a lovely weekend too 😀
I thought this was going to be a variation on Stone Paper Scissors – Nude beats Chair because she can sit on it etc.
And pen beats nude because you can poke her with it 😀
And chair beats pen cos if you put a chair leg on a bic pen I know which would win! Where does paper fit in the game?
Wrap them all up in it!
Your pen/paper efforts are great too!
Thank you ☺
Thank you. Khadi paper is surprisingly cheap too
Love it! The paper and the tea stain looks amazing!
