I went to my first pyrography training yesterday and I tried out the technique with one of my Mari Lwyd drawings. It took some getting used to, I made a lot of smoke! But I got the hang of it eventually and started to enjoy it. The technique shows a lot of promise and IContinue reading “Mari Lwyd On Fire!”

#Caturday Archives: 22
Here’s a very old sketch of the late, great Bobbit. We had her as a kitten of 8 weeks way back in the summer of 1994, and this sketch is from 2011, when she was enjoying the sun by dozing in a drain! She died a few weeks later aged 17, enjoying the sunshine andContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 22”
#Caturday Archives: 21
Here’s a blast from the past for this week’s #Caturday Saturday, from 2011. Husb and I had two naughty torties, Bobbit and Ming. They hated each other but had to learn to live together for many years. I drew this just a few weeks before Bobbit died, of very old age. She was very poorlyContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 21”
An Interesting Crowd.
I did loads of sketches at the Elysium gig last week, it was an interesting crowd. This guy had a big, quite fancy leather jacket on and he was taking photos with and SLR camera so he was hunched over a lot. I really liked the pose.
Another quick little sketch from the audience at the recent gig at Elysium. It was a fab gig with the Jerry Williams Band, Goat Major and Mister Bison.
This Was Hard!
I was on a roll sketching at the recent gig at Elysium, but it doesn’t always work out. This one was really hard to do. The musician had a distinctive stance and that, coupled with the angle of his guitar, made this scribble difficult.
More Heavy Metal Legs
More heavy metal legs I scribbled at the Elysium gig Husb and I were at last weekend. Male metal fans seem to like wearing short trousers, so I get lots of practice drawing men’s legs with socks and trainers.
The Stance!
This guy at the recent gig at Elysium had a great stance, so I scribbled him. I was listening to the band “Goat Major” at the time and really getting into the “occult doom/stoner metal” groove as I scribbled away, it made my pen strokes much more intense, I think.
I’ve still got it!
When I’m scribbling away at a gig, there’s a lot of things to take into consideration that you don’t get when you’re drawing in a studio setting. For a start, the musicians and audience tend to be moving around a lot, which is a right pain to draw. Then there’s usually low lighting so theContinue reading “I’ve still got it!”
Heavy Metal Legs
Just back from an awesome gig at Elysium…more on that tomorrow. It was heavy, mostly metal, and there are always plenty of heavy metal legs to scribble.
