Fierce Foreshortening ( Male Nude)

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Tonight’s pose gave me a go at some terrific foreshortening, with the right hand and foot thrust forward. Drawn with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app in 40 minutes.

More BIG Stuff

Back to the Creative Bubble artspace in the city centre today with fellow artist, collagist Sylvie Evans. We’re both part of the 15 Hundred Lives collective and we’re using the space all week to work big and try out some new ideas. On Friday and Saturday we’ll be opening the doors so that people canContinue reading “More BIG Stuff”

Working BIG

I’m spending a few days in an artspace in the city centre with a fellow artist, we want to work big so we’re basing ourselves in Creative Bubble until the end of the week and doing massive stuff on the walls. I’m working from sketchbook life drawings, in charcoal and chalk on brown wrapping paper.Continue reading “Working BIG”

Gestures On The Beach

I was on the beach in Swansea Bay again earlier, having a walk and a workout on the outdoor gym equipment. I stopped awhile to have a bit of a scribble into my little spotty sketchbook, size A6, with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen size S. Typically called gesture drawings, these speedy sketches forceContinue reading “Gestures On The Beach”

Who Wears Short Shorts?

We wear short shorts! It’s summer and everyone on the beach is in shorts. It’s the law lol 🙂 I stopped for a scribble with my tiny spotty A6 sketchbook and a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen size S. There’s Mumbles in the background. The name allegedly comes from the French, Mamelles, or breasts, spottedContinue reading “Who Wears Short Shorts?”

Wrong! Wrong! Not Too Bad!

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Not had a good time, didn’t take my mojo with me. My first two drawings were clunky and didn’t work at all. So I gave up trying to draw the full figure and focused on his head. It was better. I’ve worked with this model before,Continue reading “Wrong! Wrong! Not Too Bad!”

Scribbling Overlay

Husb was hoovering around the house so I followed him with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, scribbling with the free Markers app. He moves fast when he’s doing housework so I had to do speed sketches. It’s a bit cumbersome to keep resetting the little computer box to do new drawings and I didn’tContinue reading “Scribbling Overlay”

Feline Muse

Had another long day behind a computer and ended up sitting in front of the telly quite late with a cat sleeping on my lap. I haven’t done any drawing so far today so the cat will have to be my model. She likes posing. I have used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, withContinue reading “Feline Muse”

Badly Drawn Man

I’ve been really busy with computer stuff and family doings today and I had to snatch a few minutes to do today’s sketch just now. I bought ‘Game Of Thrones’ earlier and here’s Husb reading it on the settee. It’s huge. A lot of what artists make isn’t very good, that’s why old canvasses haveContinue reading “Badly Drawn Man”
