This is the last of the digital drawings I did at this week’s life drawing session. I forgot to take the stylus that goes with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet so I had to draw with my finger. It’s the first time I’ve done this and I’m quite pleased with the results. It’s muchContinue reading “Finger Drawing”

A Digital Head
Here’s another digital sketch I did at life drawing this week. I used the free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and saved regularly to make a slide show of the development of the drawing. This is a marvellous model with a very interesting and strong face.
Gone Fishing
Husb and I are keen walkers and we’re having a great late summer here at the moment, with a spectacular Supermoon and high tides. We went for a walk along the promenade at Mumbles, a little former fishing village at the Western tip of Swansea Bay. I stopped to sketch three of the many peopleContinue reading “Gone Fishing”
Life Drawing And Northern Lights
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I did quite a few digital drawings on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. Here’s 2 of them. I’ll blog the others tomorrow. Husb and I are off out now in a minute. There’s been a massive solar flare over theContinue reading “Life Drawing And Northern Lights”
Another Curry Quickie
Here’s another quick sketch I did the other evening at our local curry house, the incomparable Vojon. Sketching in public forces you to be quick and it also forces you to zone in on the essential details, which is really good practice. Drawn with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen, size S into my littleContinue reading “Another Curry Quickie”
Supermoon Random
We’ve had a fabulous supermoon the past couple of nights. I had prepared some Khadi handmade paper sketchbook pages with Indian ink wash some months ago. It had stippled heavily over some parts of the sheet. Inspired by the supermoon, I made just a few marks on it with a white oil bar to giveContinue reading “Supermoon Random”
Quickie In The Curry House
A young relative did well in her recent G.C.S.Es and deserved a curry, so we went to our favourite curry house, the most excellent Vojon, and after took a spin to Mumbles for an ice cream. I managed a quick sketch in the Vojon, in between mouthfuls of Handi lamb Polongwala.
Burgers
Husb and I spent a couple of happy hours yesterday with friends in Cwmdonkin Park, made famous by the author and poet, Dylan Thomas. It’s the centenary of his birth this year and there are loads of events to commemorate it in Swansea, including the arts fair in Cwmdonkin, with music, poetry and visual arts.Continue reading “Burgers”
Baggies And Beards
Now I know I’m getting old. I sound just like my father when I see what young men are wearing these days. Baggy, baggy jeans halfway down their bums and beatnik, or is it hipster, beards. What’s wrong with waist length hair, crushed velvet loons and pretty, clean shaven faces, eh? Mutter, mutter ……
Not Flattering
I need to draw every day, and Husb often ends up as my long suffering model. We stepped out for a walk earlier and before we knew it, we covered 8k. When we got back, Husb changed into his dressing gown and slippers and crashed out on the settee, channel hopping. I had a quickContinue reading “Not Flattering”
