Up The Rugby Club: 1.

Husb and I went to a birthday bash this evening for some friends who are both 50, in a local rugby club. It was fun, a buffet with cocktail pasties, mini sausage rolls and coronation chicken sarnies. And the rambunctious Green Dragon Band playing crowd pleasers that filled the dance floor. Great stuff. Of course,Continue reading “Up The Rugby Club: 1.”

Metal Legs: 6.

And here’s the last of the Heavy Metal legs in my little sketchbook. This is a very scribbly pair of legs. The hot summer is bringing out the shorts and I get to see close up just how big men’s feet really are when they’re not partially covered with the bottom of trousers.

Metal Legs: 5.

And even more legs in shorts from the Suns of Thunder gig at Elysium last week. The sunshine is bringing them out! In my tiny leatherbound sketchbook using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen (size S) and nitrile charcoal stick.

Metal Legs: 4.

And some more heavy metal legs. I was in a tight space in the audience for Suns of Thunder at Elysium the other night so I looked down and drew what I saw, lots of men’s legs in shorts with some pretty groovy foreshortening. Foreshortening isn’t a biscuit by the way 😀

Metal Legs: 3

And another pair of legs from Heavy Metal night last weekend. Loved listening to the music, loved drawing people’s legs and shoes.

Metal Legs: 2.

More legs from the heavy metal gig at Elysium the other evening, with Suns of Thunder. It’s not the easiest to draw in the middle of a crowd, but it gave me some great foreshortening to work with. I used the continuous line drawing method to get the positioning and proportions right.

Husb and I went out to see a heavy metal band the other evening, locals Suns Of Thunder at Elysium. Fantastic – very loud, very dancy – I had to have a scribble! I had my tiny leather-bound sketchbook with me and it’s too small for a lot of detail so, what to draw? IContinue reading “Metal Legs: 1.”

Cafe, Coffee, Scribble…

Popped into my favourite cafe, Waterstones in Swansea, earlier for a coffee and of course, I had to have a scribble. Just a quick one.

Quick Conference Sketch: 3.

Here’s another quick sketch I did at the conference I went to last week. It was quite a relaxed event and this guy across the room was very laid back in his chair. I used a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen (Sepia, size S) into my small leatherbound sketchbook.

Quick Conference Sketch: 2

I was at a conference over last weekend. It was a good one, not one of the boring, meaningless jollies I remember from my younger working days. I guess people don’t have time to waste now, or demand better value for money. But I found a few minutes here and there to have a quickContinue reading “Quick Conference Sketch: 2”
