Our pre-teen nephew is having a sleepover with us. He’s annexed the large settee with the best view of the television and installed himself for the duration. He’s at a funny stage of development with his face starting to assume adult proportions, but still quite squished up in a large head which sort of wobbles on top of a skinny body with Bambi legs tapering off into the distance. I think this scribble captures that adolescent lethargy. I used 3 grades of graphite sticks into my A5 hardbacked sketchbook.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D View more posts

Also love the way you connect with your family, and animals and community.
