They Moved

I’m scribbling in a sandwich shop in Kuwait Airport on my way to Pakistan. I homed in on these two chaps having a snack nearby using a free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8. It’s always a risk when you sketch in public that your subject might move. This place does a crackingContinue reading “They Moved”

The Hard Hand

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I chose to punish myself this evening with a foreshortened hand. It was hard. After the tea break (with a Victoria Sandwich) we had a one-hour pose and I spent the whole time working on this hand and knee.

Saucer Eyes

Another day stuck behind a computer, phoning, going to meetings …… it’s a good job that I’ve committed to producing an artblog each day otherwise I’d never get any artwork done! I popped over to The Fox Project again for a look at their photos and came across a little cub with huge saucer eyes.Continue reading “Saucer Eyes”

Fox And Frustration

It’s been a frustrating day. I’ve been searching for airfares online since lunchtime and I’m sick of the sight of the computer! I haven’t done anything creative so I searched the photos of one of my favourite Facebook sites, The Fox Project. I had a quick scribble. Here it is. And now to bed. Goodnight.Continue reading “Fox And Frustration”

Scribbly Male Nude

Another of the life drawings I did last week. I got really free with the scribbling on this one and had a bit of a play. That’s one good thing about going digital, you don’t get precious about wasting paper and drawing materials because you can just wipe the screen and start again with noContinue reading “Scribbly Male Nude”

An Older Male Model

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, working this evening with an older male model. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and a free Markers app. This is a quite long pose, almost an hour, but I didn’t really get into the zone this evening. Still, it’s good to practice andContinue reading “An Older Male Model”

Monkey Magic

Greetings trained apes. Sparta Puss here. I am now digitised. The idiot she-monkey usually scribbles into a book with sticks with dirt in them but now she’s managed to smear the dirt into the pooter box! It’s Monkey Magic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjQQhH6Jbok (One for the baby boomers 😀 ) She says the smeared dirt looks like me.Continue reading “Monkey Magic”

Why The Nude?

Here’s another drawing from the Thursday Night Life Drawing Group at Swansea Print Workshop, done on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with a free Markers app. Sometimes I’m asked why I draw nudes. It’s because I’m a traditional artist and I work within the European tradition which has portrayed the human nude for around 40,000Continue reading “Why The Nude?”
