I had insomnia again this morning and I’ve decided that instead of reading, I’ll grab my Tablet and have a scribble. This is what came out of my fevered imagination in the early hours. I’m posting a drawing a day into the Facebook February drawing challenge, ‘28 Drawings Later‘ so the sleepless scribbles will comeContinue reading “Day 3: A Face In The Dark”

Day 2: Sleepless Scribbles
Wide awake at 4 in the morning and I reached for my Samsung Galaxy Tablet for a scribble. I’ve had insomnia since my teens and have tried everything except sleeping pills, but it isn’t too bad these days and I can usually get back to sleep within the hour. Normally I draw from life,Continue reading “Day 2: Sleepless Scribbles”
Hare Raising
hmmmm how many puns about hares can I get away with? 🙂 I’m still practicing drawing hares, alternating between the Samsung Galaxy Tablet and pencils. Another day or two and I’ll move onto another animal. I visited the old Swansea Museum today. They have an exhibition on Alfred Wallace with some taxidermy including foxes andContinue reading “Hare Raising”
Here’s A Hare
I’ll be working on British wild animals for a while; I’m not letting on why just yet,but expect more hares,some hedgehogs, badgers, foxes,red squirrels and maybe a Scottish lynx over the next couple of weeks. I’ll also be using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet to draw them,so I’ll be getting plenty of practice doing digital drawing.
Frustration!
Having a play with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet this evening, sketching from photos. I’m working in the free Magic Marker app and I quite like how I’m getting on with it. I don’t like the ‘Gallery’ on the Tablet though. The drawings get saved to the ‘Gallery’ but the edit function is extremely temperamental andContinue reading “Frustration!”
Digital Finger
Still got a rotten cold and it’s been pouring down today so drawing opportunities indoors were limited. Husb stepped up as usual. I tried something different with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet, doing a finger painting and then using the stylus to scribble over it, with the Magic Marker app. I’m enjoying experimenting with digital drawing;Continue reading “Digital Finger”
After The Storm
Husb and I just wrapped up warm and jumped in the car and nipped down to the sea front at high tide to watch the spectacular storm that was crashing over the promenade. I’d been nursing a nasty throat infection all day but was going stir crazy by this evening and this is supposed toContinue reading “After The Storm”
Cupcakes
Husb and I are off to a friend’s birthday do soon so I made some cupcakes. Then I scribbled them. The cakes are vanilla sponge with blackcurrant buttercream icing and the drawing is made on a Samsung Galaxy Tablet usin.g a free Magic Marker app.
The Icelandic Hat
Just over a year ago, Husb and I were striding across glaciers in Iceland. Husb had forgotten to take a winter hat with him and he bought a locally made, hand knitted traditional hat. He dug it out this week because the weather has been so bad, so I nabbed him for a scribble onContinue reading “The Icelandic Hat”
Filling In The Spaces
Here’s another digital drawing I did yesterday when I was visiting friends in Pembrokeshire. It was blowing a gale and I only had time for very speedy scribbles using the Magic Marker app on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet. I did more work on it today. It became much more abstract; I was not interested inContinue reading “Filling In The Spaces”
