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”

Another Dark Room

I carried on drawing in a darkened room with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 this evening. I liked what I did yesterday, so I kept to drawing on top of a dark ground with white and touches of other colours. Husb and I have been making the most of the good weather to workContinue reading “Another Dark Room”

Funny Old Day

It’s been one of those bleurgh days that feel like nothing’s been done, although when you add it up, it’s not such a waste of space after all. Husb and I have been foraging for blackberries for the past couple of weeks, apparently it’s a bumper year, and we’ve made a fair bit of brambleContinue reading “Funny Old Day”

Here’s the second digital drawing I made at life drawing this week at Swansea Print Workshop. I started with a very dark ground and worked over it in white and greys with touches of red in the hair and blue on the tattoos. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the freeContinue reading “Red Hair”

Here’s one of the digital sketches I did with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. I saved the drawing as I went along and put it into a slideshow gallery to show the development of the sketch. This model has aContinue reading “Head And Hair”

Process Of A Head

Here’s another digital study of a head, working with a professional model and using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app. I started with a mid grey background and built up the drawing using greys, black and white with the airbrush and translucent brushes. I saved at stages during the processContinue reading “Process Of A Head”

Bigguns

  I’ve spent the past two days at the Creative Bubble artspace in Swansea City Centre, with the 15 Hundred Lives art collective. We have the venue every month to give us the space to work together, try out new ideas and we open the doors to the public so that people can drop inContinue reading “Bigguns”

Another Day, Another Head

Here’s another digital sketch I did at life drawing this week at Swansea Print Workshop. I concentrated on drawing the head, measuring as best I could to get a reasonably accurate likeness. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app, working from a mid tone background with black and white.Continue reading “Another Day, Another Head”
