Husb and I went to a gig at The Bunkhouse on Saturday and I had to have a scribble. I saw this guy’s back and wanted to draw him from behind. So I did.

Picnic On The Beach
It was a picnic on the beach a few weeks ago, snatched when we had no idea how long this heatwave was going to last, making the most of it, sandy sandwiches and all.

Husb and I went to the Amplitude music festival in Swansea this evening, a free event put on by Swansea Council as part of it’s “Joio! Enjoy!” summer programme.

Yes, it’s a young man in my sketch but the flat hat and moustache (also making a comeback apparently) that make him look older.Continue reading “The Flat Hat.”
Leaning…
Here’s another of my quick gig scribbles, this guy was sitting and leaning his arm against a pillar, while his other arm leant against the bar. I used the continuous line technique which helped to establish the proportions between the chair and the two people.
