Corpsed And Aching

Another nice day so Husb and I took ourselves down to the beach for a workout on the free Trim Gym. Now I’m corpsed! So’s Husb. I’m slumped in a chair, he’s lolling on the settee. Perfect pose. I scribbled him on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app. I acheContinue reading “Corpsed And Aching”

One Eyed Ming

This is Ming the Merciless, our one eyed rescue kitteh. We love her very much. She often poses for me when I cannot be bothered to get up from my comfy chair on a grey, wet, miserable evening. Like now. It’s that dense grey drizzle that so often puts the dampener on Welsh summers. ButContinue reading “One Eyed Ming”

Funny Old Day

It’s been one of those bleurgh days that feel like nothing’s been done, although when you add it up, it’s not such a waste of space after all. Husb and I have been foraging for blackberries for the past couple of weeks, apparently it’s a bumper year, and we’ve made a fair bit of brambleContinue reading “Funny Old Day”

Red Hair

Here’s the second digital drawing I made at life drawing this week at Swansea Print Workshop. I started with a very dark ground and worked over it in white and greys with touches of red in the hair and blue on the tattoos. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the freeContinue reading “Red Hair”

Head And Hair

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Here’s one of the digital sketches I did with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. I saved the drawing as I went along and put it into a slideshow gallery to show the development of the sketch. This model has aContinue reading “Head And Hair”

Process Of A Head

Here’s another digital study of a head, working with a professional model and using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app. I started with a mid grey background and built up the drawing using greys, black and white with the airbrush and translucent brushes. I saved at stages during the processContinue reading “Process Of A Head”

Another Day, Another Head

Here’s another digital sketch I did at life drawing this week at Swansea Print Workshop. I concentrated on drawing the head, measuring as best I could to get a reasonably accurate likeness. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app, working from a mid tone background with black and white.Continue reading “Another Day, Another Head”

Head In Chiaroscuro

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop and I continued practicing portraits using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. I created a dark background and worked up the head in greys and white, emphasising the chiaroscuro effect from the ceiling spotlight.

7 Chickens And A Piglet

I had a lovely day out at Swansea’s Community Farm today. I managed to steal a couple of small relatives for a day or two and took them up to the farm’s summer playscheme. They got themselves immersed in mucky farmy things and I drew. Seven chickens and a piglet, just like it says onContinue reading “7 Chickens And A Piglet”
