Sprogs still here and I’m still trying to draw them. It’s easy enough getting them to pose – just stick them in front of the computer or playstation and they stay quiet. If they start fidgeting, give them sweets. I’m still struggling with their impossibly huge heads, little snub noses and massive eyes. They’re aliensContinue reading “Drawing Aliens”

Sprog!
We have some little relatives staying overnight so there’s a scribbling opportunity while they watch cartoons. Unfortunately, they’re really hard to draw, with weird heads and ridiculously oversized eyes. I did a couple of digital sketches of the 6 year old but I don’t think either looks like her. But that’s the way it goes.Continue reading “Sprog!”
Window Dressing
I’ve spent a couple of days working with the 15 Hundred Lives art group on a big draw at the Creative Bubble artspace in Swansea’s City Centre. We were joined by a number of artists, art students and members of the public as we drew over cardboard-covered walls. It was a challenge to draw onContinue reading “Window Dressing”
W.I.P.
Work in progress on a very big drawing at the Creative Bubble artspace where there’s a 2-day Big Draw going on. This figure is based on a quick sketch I did recently of a ‘sagger’, you know, those lads who wear their trousers almost around their knees. I’ll be adding some more figures tomorrow. I’mContinue reading “W.I.P.”
Pink Plaster
Here’s a digital drawing I made from a photograph. I like to draw people on the street but sometimes they move too quickly and I need to take photos for reference. I’m going to be working on a large drawing at the Creative Bubble shop in the city centre tomorrow and Saturday and I wantContinue reading “Pink Plaster”
Princess Pea
I spent several happy hours at a friend’s smallholding today, up a mountain, out in the fresh air and sunshine, shovelling horse manure! I also hung around while she fed her delightful pea fowl. Most of them are adults but there is one little chick. I’ve nicknamed her Princess Pea. The adults are huge; PrincessContinue reading “Princess Pea”
The Hat Party
We’re in Bath at a friend’s birthday party. It’s a hat party. His little boy has the best hat. Here it is. Now, let’s party!!!!
Still Trying….
Just got back from the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop and I’m still persevering with digital drawing on my Galaxy Tablet. The first pose took about 40 minutes and the head was a quickie, about 10 minutes. I used the Magic Marker app.
Prelims
I spent the afternoon at Swansea Print Workshop, doing some preliminary studies for a small series of work I want to finish by the end of the month. I’ve been doing some sketches and photographs and I developed a working drawing from these. I scanned and printed it out to fit one of my perspexContinue reading “Prelims”
Technical Thingy
Nearly didn’t blog this evening because our box thingy that gives us the Internet has an intermittent fault and Husb has had to connect my tablet to his smartphone so’s I can blog. I haven’t got a clue. I realise that’s terribly sexist but I go through life on a ‘need to know’ basis andContinue reading “Technical Thingy”
