More and more I’m going through sketchbooks and working into some of the drawings I did a while back. My sketchbooks tend to be full of spontaneous scribbles and when I’ve done one, I turn the page and forget about it. So lately I’ve started trawling through them to see what turns up. This is one of a series of sketches I did at a theatrical event about 3 years back, before Covid. The space was very dark and red so I’m trying to capture that atmosphere, of the figures bathed in a bloody light.
The original is in a Khadi long format sketchbook with heavily textured paper, and I’m using Derwent Inktense blocks to add the colour.
Here’s a short instructional video on how to use Inktense blocks.
