Drawing at gigs in the near dark is good practice as I have to squint to see the basic details of what’s in front of me and get them down quickly before people move too much. It sharpens my instincts and improves my drawing in the light.

The creative imagery of the tree is rooted in the ancient oak forests of Britain, growing through the ages to branch into the present. From ancient Druidic and Celtic […]
I share your sentiment. I love drawing in the dark. Even when you can’t make out what you’re doing, I think there’s a gain in creating the gesture, the strokes and shapes — it’s like drawing on the inside your brain!
