Another Chorister.

Here’s another chorister from the Plygain I went to last week. It’s a performance of traditional Welsh Christmas carols, sung by Côr Aderyn Du, the Blackbird Choir.

The Choristers.

I went to a Plygain last week, it’s a performance of traditional Welsh Christmas carols, a bit late but the choir has been busy doing so many other things. Of course, I had to have a scribble.

Scribbling In The Waiting Room: 2

A couple more head sketches from yesterday’s visit to our local A&E department (nothing serious as it turned out). People are quite still and easier to draw.

Scribbling In The Waiting Room: 1

I was in the A&E (ER) department today, nothing serious as it turns out. It’s a long process having tests and waiting for results so I did a bit of sketching. People tend to be quite still and quiet in waiting rooms. I had a bit of fun with cross-hatching with this one.

Just Watching And Scribbling.

I’ve got a few days off work and I did something I used to do a lot before Covid lockdowns, about once a week I’d go to a cafe for a cuppa and have a scribble as well. Cafes are good places for sketching as people are often absorbed in conversation or thought, so it’sContinue reading “Just Watching And Scribbling.”

Sketchbook Archives: 24

Looking back to my blog posts in March 2013, I was drawing a lot of heads in my sketchbooks. It’s good practice to sketch quickly at random, it really trains you to identify the necessary details and get them down.

Sketchbook Archives: 23

Here’s a selection of people sketches from my sketchbooks in February 2013. That was 7 years before Covid lockdowns when I used to be out and about scribbling so much. I sort of got out of the habit after lockdown, but also there seem to be far fewer people just hanging out in the cityContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 23”

A Bit Grinchy.

I haven’t posted for a couple of days because I went and did my back in on New Year’s Eve. OUCH! I’ve never had back pain before, what a shocker! It really stopped me in my tracks for 48 hours and it’s still a bit grinchy. Is that a technical term? 😀 That’s what itContinue reading “A Bit Grinchy.”

Heads And Carols.

Here are a few more heads I sketched at last week’s Christmas Carol and other music performance at The Westbourne pub. There was a great atmosphere with lots of audience participation. I scribbled these quickly with a borrowed Schneider pen, I forgot my usual ballpoint. It gives me a very different line, which took someContinue reading “Heads And Carols.”

Christmas Carols In The Pub.

I went to a nice festive do at a local pub just before Xmas, an evening of live acoustic music. Husb belongs to a choir, Cor Aderyn Du (the Blackbird Choir) who gave a rousing set of medieval carols and there were other performers too. Of course, I had to have a bit of aContinue reading “Christmas Carols In The Pub.”
