Back about a decade ago I went through a phase of drawing on a Galaxy Tablet using a free “Markers” app. This is a digital sketch of a young Sparta, she was about 4 and a half years old here. She’s 16 this Autumn.

Mari Lwyd On Fire!
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!”
