I’ve been flipping through old sketchbooks, reminding myself of work I’d forgotten about. I came across a cluster of heads in one that I’d bought from the Tate gallery in London. Nice sketchbook. I like drawing heads and faces, but children’s faces are so difficult. The younger they are, the more they look like an alien life form. There’s a mixture of media here, graphite, charcoal pencil, Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen and biro (ballpoint).

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






Great sketches. These are really good. Children can be difficult. Too many lines and they look like wizened old men.
hahaha don’t they just 😀
Sumptuous
Thanks Judith x
the second drawing, the child in profile, reminds me a bit of Van Gogh in the character of the line — they’re a beautiful group of drawings
Thanks Aletha. I should group my drawings more, I think. Because they’re on single pages, I don’t tend to think of them in groups
it’s also nice seeing them one by one — maybe both ways — different presentations bring out different qualities
I’m thinking of putting all my sketches together digitally – heads, people in cafes, on the beach and so on…. see what they look like en masse
