I saved at stages during the processContinue reading “Process Of A Head”
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”
Head In Chiaroscuro
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop and I continued practicing portraits using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. I created a dark background and worked up the head in greys and white, emphasising the chiaroscuro effect from the ceiling spotlight.
Taking The Plunge

I drew with a Derwent sketching pencil size 4B into an A3 Daler Rowney sketchbook. Our model has a very distinctive face andContinue reading “Taking The Plunge”

I’m trying to push out of my comfort zone which is minimalist line drawing, preferably small and with a fine pen. So here I am for a few days drawing very big with chalk and charcoal onto sheetsContinue reading “Even More BIG. A daily drawing blog.”
