Humungous Boots!

Just look at these big bad boys! Boots are getting bigger and bigger at gigs, but the legs don’t seem to be growing to fit.

Sketchbook Archives: 41

It’s archive time again, from March 2014. Here are 4 sketchbook scribbles and a sketch on newspaper that I did at a “live” drawing session.

Back At The Bunkhouse: 3

A couple of backs at the Bunkhouse in this little scribble. Husb and I were there over the weekend, it’s a good venue. The man had HUGE trainers.

I see loads of different and very sketchable clothes at gigs, I try to draw the interesting ones. This pair of fancy schmancy (long) shorts impressed me and stayed still long enough for a good scribble.

Doing My Scales…

A very quick scribble from the crowd at a recent gig at Elysium, just a minute or so, ballpoint pen into an A6 sketchbook (fits into my pocket). Working so quickly forces me to focus on the important features in front of me and not get distracted by detail. It’s good practice, like a singerContinue reading “Doing My Scales…”
