The Process Of The Portrait:1

I carried on carving my little lino block portrait of one of the life models I work with at Swansea Print Workshop. I’ve done her hair and the outline of the main lines of her face, now I have to decide how I’m going to cut the rest. Lots of things I could do. Decisions…

Sketchbook Archives: 54

Going back to February 2015 for these people pictures, mostly drawn in my sketchbooks, although the bottom left is on a piece of vintage paper that I marbled before drawing with charcoal. The sketches on the top left were done in minutes, those at centre left, done in seconds – really speedy. I love lookingContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 54”

#Caturday

It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s a new quick sketch of Sparta Puss, just a couple of minutes so no details of her lovely Tortoiseshell markings. I struggled with her tail, I kept checking but that’s the way it was positioned, looks weird to me on the drawing.

Scribbleheads

Chilling out the other evening, I started scribbling some little imaginary heads into my A6 Indigo-bound sketchbook. I rarely draw from my imagination, but it’s something I want to do more of as it stops me being too precious with what I draw.

Scribbling At Home

Just chilling out yesterday evening and I grabbed my little A6 Indigo-bound sketchbook and did some quick scribbling. Nice. Relaxing. Enjoyed. Sometimes art is very hard for me, most of the time in fact, but now and again it’s a gentle and quiet thing to do.

Imaginary Head

I was playing with some Derwent Inktense blocks the other day, using them to draw on top of a very bland pastel drawing that I didn’t like. I let my imagination lead the way, which is something I rarely do and should do more often. It’s Christmas so I put my imaginary head in aContinue reading “Imaginary Head”

Family Heads

Christmas is a family time of year and I’ve been looking back through my sketchbooks to find sketches of my relatives. The advantage of drawing family is they’re FREE hahaha 😀 These are from December 2014 and January 2015, using a variety of materials, including Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens, graphite, compressed charcoal, and aContinue reading “Family Heads”

Seasonal Sparta Puss

Many years ago, Husb did a digital sketch of Sparta Puss. She was tiny then, but still had masses of Cattitude! She’s sixteen now and this drawing was done a few weeks before her first Christmas. It sums up her philosophy in life really. Anyway, Nadolig Llawen, Merry Christmas to you and yours. Never letContinue reading “Seasonal Sparta Puss”

#Caturday Archives: 35

Looking back through my sketchbooks to February 2015, I spotted Little Ming aka Ming The Merciless. She was a tiny, fluffy Tortoiseshell with one eye and a giant personality! She was a sweet, delightful, cuddly little cat UNTIL we took her to the vets. She had a red marker on her notes at the vetsContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 35”
