More from the gig on Samhain at Elysium. The headline band, Adfeilion played a very atmospheric set. I scribbled away in my sketchbook but to be honest, I got right drawn into the music and ended up headbanging…hurt like heck the next day! Samhain is also known as Halloween and in Welsh, it’s Nos Calan Gaeaf.

Scribbling On Samhain.
Husb and I went to a fab gig on Halloween / Samhain at Elysium. The line up was great, Root Zero, Grindhorse 83, Pyrogaric and Adfeilion headlining. There were a lot of women, both performing and in the audience. I had a scribble of course. Makes a change sketching women’s legs at a heavy gig,Continue reading “Scribbling On Samhain.”
Transfer And Carve
Last week I did a series of portrait drawings at Swansea Print Workshop’s Life Drawing Group. I chose the best likeness, the last drawing as it happened, and I transferred it to a block of traditional grey lino and then started carving. The drawings took 2.5 hours, the transfer about 15 minutes and so farContinue reading “Transfer And Carve”
#Caturday Archives: 32
It seems I was doing a lot of digital drawings of SpartaPuss back in December 2014. She’s a five year old here. I’ve drawn her with a free Markers app onto my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet. I liked that app very much but there came a point where I lost interest in digital drawingContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 32”
Quietly Watching
I was sitting quietly, sipping coffee and watching others sitting quietly, sipping coffee and reading and writing, in Waterstones Café in Swansea. Ideal conditions for sketching people. So I did. Ballpoint pen into an A6 sketchbook.
Coffee And Scribbles
I had a nice cuppa coffee in Waterstones Café this afternoon and scribbled some of the other patrons as I sipped. I used to go regularly to the café before Covid, but the lockdown got me out of the habit, which is a pity because it’s a good place to sketch as people are usually absorbed inContinue reading “Coffee And Scribbles”
Sketchbook Archives: 49
Here’s a selection of scribbles from my sketchbooks in September 2014, I was busy out and about sketching that month. I must find more time to draw in public again.
Got There In The End
Here are the final three sketches I did last week at life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. I’m going to be focusing on portrait drawing for the foreseeable future and I want to improve my technique to get an accurate likeness as quickly as I can. But for me, it still takes a while, sloggingContinue reading “Got There In The End”
#Caturday Saturday
I carried on with this little cat piece, using Derwent Aquatone watercolour sticks onto a heavy watercolour paper with Escoda Versátil brushes. The cat shapes are from a stencil I cut of our little Bill the rescue cat some time ago. This is the first thing I’ve done with the Aquatone sticks and I’m getting usedContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday”
Keeping At It
Here are the next 3 sketches from the life drawing session last night. I’m going to be focusing on portrait drawing for the foreseeable future and we had a long pose yesterday so I was able to get in a lot of practice. These are more accurate than the first three I did and IContinue reading “Keeping At It”
