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.

Anti Social Networking
There’s an informal monthly after-work networking meet-up at Urban HQ, organised by the irrepressible Lucy Beddall. It’s called The Anti Social. Husb and I popped along last week, a lot of creatives go along, as well as people with their own businesses and those working in the third and non-profit sectors. Of course, I hadContinue reading “Anti Social Networking”
Overlaying Scribbles.
Out at Elysium a few nights ago (such a gadabout!) and I was having a scribble while listening to some funky rap. I was trying to draw a crowd scene but people kept moving around. HOW VERY DARE THEY?! So rather than start new drawings, I just overlaid them on top of one another. IContinue reading “Overlaying Scribbles.”
Pants!
Big baggy pants at a gig last week. Husb and I had a hectic week, a social whirl! I had a week off work so I made the most of it. Which gig was this? Ummm. Oh yeah, funky rap at Elysium.
The Gig In The Church
Husb and I went to an unusual place for a gig on Friday night, a church! Llangiwg Church is a fascinating place, very ancient with a huge yew tree alongside, which indicated it may be built on an earlier Celtic holy site. There’s also a stone-lined healing / holy well in the grounds and spectacularContinue reading “The Gig In The Church”
Another Gig Scribble…
Let’s be honest, I go to a lot of gigs. And I always carry a sketchbook. So I do a lot of gig scribbling…or is that scrib giggling…or gib scriggling? Maybe I should get a good night’s sleep 😀
Canoodling Couple
I was at a gig the other evening and saw this couple canoodling in front of me. So I scribbled them. Twice! They canoodled a lot.
The Way They Use Their Legs
I was scribbling at a gig again last week, at Elysium for The Krakens and Celtic Vagabond (just missed Whilbur unfortunately). The venue is great for live music AND exhibitions. I saw these two guys standing near each other, but the way they used their legs was very different. So I scribbled ’em!
A Century Of The Gorsedd Stone Circle
Husb and I went to Singleton Park today to the celebration of the centenary of Swansea’s Gorsedd Stone Circle. For many years, the National Eisteddfod of Wales erected a stone circle in each town or city in which the event took place (it moves yearly), but they’re expensive so for the past couple of decades,Continue reading “A Century Of The Gorsedd Stone Circle”
Advanced Scribbling
I did a very quick scribble of a building when I was out and about a few weeks ago, just a few minutes to capture the outline and some key features. Today I spent a little while working into it, making a range of marks with a ballpoint pen. I find that mark-making is veryContinue reading “Advanced Scribbling”
