Husb and I took two little relatives to the cinema to see the first episode of the new Doctor Who series this evening. I had a quick scribble in the darkness. I could see the faces in the light from the big screen, but couldn’t see my sketchbook. It’s a good exercise. Earlier we stoppedContinue reading “Drawing In The Dark”

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”
Slumped In The Sand
Husb and I have taken a few days off work for a bit of a holiday and have never been busier! We have had some little relatives staying and that’s when we realise the advantages of living near the sea. Small children love the beach, it’s free and there are plenty of people to sketchContinue reading “Slumped In The Sand”
The Pub Quiz
Had a very busy day, ending up at the weekly pub quiz at The Brunswick, an excellent hostelry. I did a couple of quick heads, just a few minutes each. We didn’t win 😦
Bigguns
I’ve spent the past two days at the Creative Bubble artspace in Swansea City Centre, with the 15 Hundred Lives art collective. We have the venue every month to give us the space to work together, try out new ideas and we open the doors to the public so that people can drop inContinue reading “Bigguns”
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.
I’m A Little Teapot….
….short and stout. ….and a bit wonky! Today’s sketch is practice. People, animals and cityscapes are my comfort zone but practice should take me out of that so I am going to do some simple still life studies. I don’t like it. There’s not much wriggle room in drawing objects. Never mind. I drew thisContinue reading “I’m A Little Teapot….”
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”
