I was on a roll sketching at the recent gig at Elysium, but it doesn’t always work out. This one was really hard to do. The musician had a distinctive stance and that, coupled with the angle of his guitar, made this scribble difficult.

More Heavy Metal Legs
More heavy metal legs I scribbled at the Elysium gig Husb and I were at last weekend. Male metal fans seem to like wearing short trousers, so I get lots of practice drawing men’s legs with socks and trainers.
The Stance!
This guy at the recent gig at Elysium had a great stance, so I scribbled him. I was listening to the band “Goat Major” at the time and really getting into the “occult doom/stoner metal” groove as I scribbled away, it made my pen strokes much more intense, I think.
I’ve still got it!
When I’m scribbling away at a gig, there’s a lot of things to take into consideration that you don’t get when you’re drawing in a studio setting. For a start, the musicians and audience tend to be moving around a lot, which is a right pain to draw. Then there’s usually low lighting so theContinue reading “I’ve still got it!”
Heavy Metal Legs
Just back from an awesome gig at Elysium…more on that tomorrow. It was heavy, mostly metal, and there are always plenty of heavy metal legs to scribble.
Petrichor.
After weeks of dry sunshine the weather broke this evening with a spectacular thunderstorm and downpour. There’s a lovely cool and fresh feeling outside and I now have a chance to use the word “petrichor”, which is the smell of the ground immediately after a rainstorm. My garden smells of petrichor and it’s lovely.
A Free Bus Pass.
Now that I’m an Old Git I have a free bus pass, so I used it to go visiting today. I had a bit of time to kill on the return journey so I sat and sketched for a few minutes, I guess about 7 or 8, just enough time to work on some perspectiveContinue reading “A Free Bus Pass.”

Some of my output from November 2013, when I routinely pasted brown parcel paper into my sketchbooks, I liked the way that the random shapes interacted with the line drawings.
A Way With Hats.
I did some sketching at the Saint George in Swansea last Friday eve, where Husb and I had a great time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Apart from being superb musicians, they have a snazzy way with hats.
The Accordion Player.
Here’s another quick little scribble from last weekend’s gig with local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. When I was little I remember my Nana played an accordion but after she died, back in the 1960s, I never saw one played again for many years, but recently I’ve seen a few coming back into play.
