Sometimes when I’m sketching, I’m not happy with the result I get with the materials I’m using. That happened with the singer of Zed Motel, a band at Crowleys Rock Bar during Swansea Fringe the other weekend. I liked the effect of the Inktense blocks that I used with a reservoir brush, but they were too chunky to get any of her facial features. It’s hard to get a likeness anyway, between movement and the intrusion of the microphone, but there’s slightly more detail with a ballpoint pen into a smaller sketchbook.
