Husb and I went on a family visit this evening and I got my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 out to scribble the dog, Attila the Hunny. Of course, as soon as I started drawing her, she started fidgeting and kept turning her back on me. If she’d been a cat, she’d have posed, turningContinue reading “Attila the Hunny”

Fidgety Boxer
Husb and I visited Holly the boxer and her trained monkeys this evening. She’s rather elderly and full of character and I thought she’d make a good model. She had other ideas. Every time I started sketching her, she turned her back on me as soon as she realised what I was doing. I managedContinue reading “Fidgety Boxer”
Mongrel Scribbles
Had a hectic few days and I’m behind with my blog so I’m playing catch-up. I went to a small relative’s brithday party recently and the family dog decided she loved me. So, unwilling as I am to pass up any opportunity for a cribble, I sketched her. She was very fidgety because the roomContinue reading “Mongrel Scribbles”
Dog In The City
I stopped to sketch some people sitting on benches in the city centre the other day and one chap had a dog with him. I don’t get much chance to draw dogs, as we’re a household of cats and subservient bald monkeys. So I drew this one twice using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens inContinue reading “Dog In The City”
Attilla The Hunny
Went to visit relatives today and did a scribble of the family dog, Attilla the Hunny. She’s very large and boisterous, which is where the Attilla bit comes from and Hunny because she’s a real sweetie. She did not like being drawn because I had to stare hard at her. My kitties LOVE posing whileContinue reading “Attilla The Hunny”
My drawing blog: Black Dogs After Midnight
A weird thing happened after Husb and I visited some friends the other night. As we drove home in the dark, three large black dogs suddenly loomed on the road in front of the car. Husb managed to brake in time and the dogs disappeared as quickly as they had appeared. It was a shock!Continue reading “My drawing blog: Black Dogs After Midnight”
It’s The Dogs…
Here’s an English Bull Terrier I saw on the beach this morning. It was fabulous there; very sunny, the tide fully in and crowds of people enjoying the moment – all too rare in our climate. I don’t often get a chance to draw dogs and he was far more fidgety than my kittehsContinue reading “It’s The Dogs…”
Wet Dogs And Runners
All last week, the weather was gorgeous – a real Indian summer. Then Sunday arrived – and Husb had entered the Swansea 10k race, hoping to improve on last year’s time. The weather was ATROCIOUS! Pouring rain and ferocious winds didn’t put off thousands of runners, though. We went down early to see two ofContinue reading “Wet Dogs And Runners”
Speedy Sketches With Seconds To Spare.
I carry a little sketchbook with me at all times [even in the bath lol] and it’s good discipline to take it out and sketch whatever is in front of you, at random. It means that you can’t be too precious about what you’re drawing and also you have to capture the essence of theContinue reading “Speedy Sketches With Seconds To Spare.”
