Back in the summer last year, I took part in a public ‘draw-in’ in St. David’s on the west coast of Wales. A dozen artists based in Goat Street gallery were filmed drawing or painting locals and holidaymakers who queued up the road and round the corner for a chance to have their portrait done and appear on the telly. The item will finally appear on the TV tomorrow night, 11th February on The One Show, BBC1 from 7pm. I’ll probably end up on the cutting room floor, who knows.
It was good discipline for me because I aimed to draw each portrait in 30 minutes while getting a good likeness. I drew seven in 4 and a half hours. I hadn’t done anything like it before so I was well pleased with myself. Here is one of the portraits I drew with Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens into my A5 leather bound Steampunk sketchbook.

So talented
Do you teach, Rosie?
Nothing is wasted. Still great work.
What a wondering and amazing drawing. Have you used other art media besides Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens?
Thank you. Yes, I have used other mefia but these are my favourite for my sketchbooks as they’re easy to carry and use.
I love the “spareness” of this drawing which did not in any way inhibit the liveliness of it!
Great sketch of a very characteristic person/face! Have a lovely day. Sunny Greetings from the Baltic Sea! 😉
Thank you. I bet it’s cold on the Baltic. We’re sending rain your way 😀
No, it isn’t that cold it could be in February. 🙂
