Husb and I have a small visitor having a sleepover. He’s 10 and his face is starting to elongate but still has childlike chubbiness. Very young faces are so hard to draw, no wrinkles, no saggy bits, very few visual cues to go on. I used graphite into my A5 Tate Gallery sketchbook. Why doContinue reading “Impossible Lashes”

Scribble Cat
The end of a long, cold, rainy day, busy with loads of admin. I’m sitting half watching a documentary about World War 2 on the telly with Sparta Puss on the stool in front of me. Time for a scribble. I used graphite into my A5 Tate Gallery sketchbook.
Bone Idle
A totally lazy day today. It’s Sunday, it’s Xmas time and Husb, the cats and I did absolutely nothing all day. Except a spot of cooking, watching mindless telly and Facebooking. Here’s a quickie of Husb doing nothing. Drawn with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app in about 10 minutes.
Lazy Day
Apart from a visit to some delightful relatives, today’s been a lazy day. Yesterday was such lovely weather that Husb and I walked about 8 kilometres along the seafront in Swansea. Today we woke up to torrential rain and high winds so now this evening we’re cwtched at home behind tightly drawn curtains watching television.Continue reading “Lazy Day”
Another One Of Those Days
Today has been one of those hectic days with loads of things to do and here I am at the end of the day with no drawing done, so it’ll have to be a quickie of the cat again. Sparta Puss looked up from her sleep just long enough for me to capture her expressionContinue reading “Another One Of Those Days”
Teenager
I did a quick scribble of Teenage Niece this evening. It had to be a quick scribble because she can’t sit still for long. It’s an interesting phase of development. Her face isn’t the scrunched up alien physique of a child but she still has a child-like roundness to her features. I used Faber CastellContinue reading “Teenager”
Drawing Black
It’s hard, drawing black. Very hard. Sparta Puss is tortoiseshell so there are a few lighter bits on her. It was even harder to draw my late, great kitteh, Bola, who was as black as a panther. It’s all down to the marks you make, varying them to delineate the different areas of the subject.Continue reading “Drawing Black”
Get In Quick
Husb and I are off to the cinema now in a minute so I did a really quick sketch for my drawing blog tonight. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. We’re going to see the James Brown film. The music should be fab!
Sneaky!
I snuck up on Husb tonight and scribbled him as he watched TV. Sometimes I think I might be a stalker! Drawn with Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens sizes S and F into my A5 Tate Gallery sketchbook.
Cwtch And Pajamas
It’s cold, it’s been a long week and I’m cwtched in my pajamas on my comfy chair with Sparta Puss at my feet. I’m not going anywhere so I did a scribble of the cat. She’s looking like a bit of a bruiser at the moment, with her thick winter coat and winter weight gain.Continue reading “Cwtch And Pajamas”
