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.
More Dancers At The Theatre
A few more sketches from the other evening of performances at Taliesin Arts Centre. It’s good to have access to bodies in motion, I usually draw people in cafes or audiences or work with life models. I worked very quickly with a continuous line, mostly.
Scribbling In The Warm.
Husb and I went out for a walk yesterday afternoon, it was sparkling sunshine but also very cold so we called in at a new café in the old Observatory on the promenade, overlooking Swansea Beach. A lovely place in a gorgeous setting. And toasty warm. Of course, I had to have a scribble. IContinue reading “Scribbling In The Warm.”
Continuous Line In The Bookshop
The Covid Lockdown made me appreciate the important things in life – family, friends, home, community – and also the simple little things I took for granted. I used to pop into the café in Waterstones bookshop in Swansea for a coffee and a scribble in my sketchbook, perhaps every fortnight or so. Just sitContinue reading “Continuous Line In The Bookshop”
Scribbling The Shadows.
I was sitting in a sunny polytunnel in the GRAFT Garden, wondering what arty stuff to do and I saw a lovely plant – fennel I think – right by me. But I was feeling a bit lazy and wanted a short cut so I balanced my sketchbook onto the edge of the raised bedContinue reading “Scribbling The Shadows.”
Scribbling At The One Man Show
Husb and I took a trip to Cardiff Tuesday evening to see the writer and broadcaster David Sedaris perform his one-man show – he’s hilarious. I had a bit of a scribble first. It’s nearly always backs of heads at gigs but sometimes there are some great textures, like this woman’s hair. That was aContinue reading “Scribbling At The One Man Show”
Scribbling Outside A Cafe
Husb and I were getting a bit stir crazy working from home so went out for a cold drink this evening and sat outside a nice cafe bar for a little while. I had to have a scribble of course. The main thing about these little sketchbook drawings is not to get a perfect representationContinue reading “Scribbling Outside A Cafe”
