Through The Window: In The Bookshop Café

I scribbled this in Waterstone’s café earlier today. I managed to get a seat opposite the huge windows and sketched this figure slumped over his smartphone, with part of the new biophilic living building in the background.

Studying: In The Bookshop Café

Before Covid (remember those days?) I used to go regularly to Waterstones Bookshop café to sit and sketch as it was so peaceful. It’s taken me a long time to go back to some of my pre-Covid habits, but I hope to reinstate this one. I popped in there today for a coffee and aContinue reading “Studying: In The Bookshop Café”

Free Talks With The Friends.

At the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery again on Friday, for a really good talk about the origins of the Welsh Red Dragon, by Professor Helen Fulton. Of course, I had a scribble. The talks are supported by The Friends of the Glynn Vivian and are free. The next one is on Saturday October 4th byContinue reading “Free Talks With The Friends.”

Big Words: In The Bookshop Café

I scribbled this in Waterstone’s café the other day. I liked the signage on the wall and the chap taking tea beneath it. I started to draw his companion, but they upped and left. How rude!

Continuous Line: In The Bookshop Café

Here’s another quick scribble from my visit to Waterstone’s café the other day. I like to use the continuous line method of sketching when there’s some depth to whatever’s in front of me. I find it’s the best technique to help draw perspective and proportion in a hurry.

Leaning…

Here’s another of my quick gig scribbles, this guy was sitting and leaning his arm against a pillar, while his other arm leant against the bar. I used the continuous line technique which helped to establish the proportions between the chair and the two people.

The Continuous Line.

Here’s another scribble from the gig that Husb and I went to over the weekend. I drew this lute player with the continuous line technique, not taking my pen off the paper. It gives an interesting dynamic to the sketch.

From The Ceiling And The Floor.

My first sketch from the boxing club last week, a warm up to get some proportions using continuous line, looking at the punch bags connecting to the ceiling and the floor, before the boxers arrived.

Through A Looking Glass…

I visited a boxing club to draw the other evening. Before the boxers arrived I turned to a large mirror and drew what I could see. I found it easier drawing the image in the mirror than drawing the real world. I used the continuous line technique as the scene is very complicated.

Playing With Concepts: Getting Used to It.

I took some digital photos at the Wassail and Mari Lwyd parade in Chepstow yesterday and I’m using them to try out the CONCEPTS free graphics package. Husb downloaded it for me a few months back but I haven’t done much with it yet. It’s weird using a stylus and the angle of drawing onto the screen is aContinue reading “Playing With Concepts: Getting Used to It.”
