Sketchbook Archives: 43

May 2014 and I was well into my digital drawing phase. I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free “Markers” app and I really took to it. “Markers” is the only drawing app that I’ve liked and it was so convenient tucking a NotePad into my bag instead of the usual overload ofContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 43”

Here’s a digital drawing of the Late, Great Little Ming, a tiny, fluffy, pretty one-eyed Naughty Tortie, who was also the scourge of our local vet’s surgery! We could pick her up, cwtch her, snuggle her, but when she was put into a cat basket and taken to the vet, she turned into a demon!Continue reading “#Caturday Archives: 27”

Here’s a digital drawing of Sparta Puss from May 2014, when she was coming up to 5 years old. The nice thing about sketching on my Galaxy Tablet Note 8 is that I could hit the “save” button regularly and make a record of the stages of the drawing. I used a Markers free appContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 25”

February 2014 was a month of mostly digital drawing, and I continued January’s animal theme with these little studies of foxes. Eleven years ago I had rarely seen a fox in the city, now I see loads, along with bats, squirrels, seagulls and birds of prey – kestrels, red kites and occasionally peregrine falcons. We’reContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 39”

It’s such a long time ago now, that I did a month-long artist residency in Pakistan, it was wonderful. And I met a Pakistani cat called Messi. So I drew him. I was going through a digital drawing phase at the time, using a free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Back about a decade ago I went through a phase of drawing on a Galaxy Tablet using a free “Markers” app. This is a digital sketch of a young Sparta, she was about 4 and a half years old here. She’s 16 this Autumn.

I went through a digital phase starting about 12 years ago, drawing with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, using a free Markers app. It lasted a while, it was very convenient to carry around and I didn’t get my hands and sketchbook dirty with charcoal and graphite. I remember those leggings well, I wore themContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 33”

#Caturday Nadolig Llawen

It’s that time of year again, when I dig out Husb’s digital drawing of Snowflake Sparta Puss to wish everyone Nadolig Llawen, Merry Christmas, Cool Yule. Have a good one xxx

Digital Tryout.

Husb has been searching around for a free digital drawing programme for me, to replace the “Markers” I used on my old Samsung Galaxy 8 tablet. He found “Concepts” so I’m giving it a tryout. I did this very quick scribble in a darkened room while Husb watched the TV. It’s got potential, not badContinue reading “Digital Tryout.”

#Caturday Archives

It’s Saturday / #Caturday so here’s another from my kitty archives. I went through a phase of doing digital drawings on my Samsung Galaxy 8 tablet a few years back and the cats were good subjects for the programme – a free app called Markers which is great for sketching. Here’s Little Ming, our fluffyContinue reading “#Caturday Archives”
