February 2014 was a month of mostly digital drawing, and I continued January’s animal theme with these little studies of foxes. Eleven years ago I had rarely seen a fox in the city, now I see loads, along with bats, squirrels, seagulls and birds of prey – kestrels, red kites and occasionally peregrine falcons. We’reContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 39”

Chubby Foxes.
Husb and I had a few days away, staying with friends on the South Coast – that’s East Sussex, not Barrybados LOL 😀 Their garden was visited several times a day by two of the chubbiest foxes I’ve ever seen. Big, fluffy and ginger, I thought they were odd-looking corgis when I saw them first.Continue reading “Chubby Foxes.”
Sniffles And Sweets
I am such a wimp. I’ve got a cold and I’ve retreated to my settee with a blanket, aspirin and a big bag of sweets – Gummy Bears, my favourites (I rarely eat sweets except when I’m not well). I can’t work up the motivation to do any art while I’m wallowing in sniffly miseryContinue reading “Sniffles And Sweets”
Mini Monos
I spent today at the Creative Bubble artspace in the city centre. I’m a member of an art collective called 15 Hundred Lives and we’re at Creative Bubble all week with an exhibition of our work and each of us is doing demonstrations of techniques that we use. Today I worked on some new littleContinue reading “Mini Monos”
Rain, Rest And A Little Darling
Last night was the opening of the Commensalis group show at The Octagon in Fringe Arts Bath. Husb and I went up for the opening night and took in some of the other venues as well – more than 40 shows in 15 venues until June the 8th and all for free! The traffic backContinue reading “Rain, Rest And A Little Darling”
Foxy Again
End of a long day and I haven’t done a drawing so I found one of my favourite Facebook groups, The Fox Project and did a digital sketch using one of the fox pictures as a reference. I drew into my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, using the Marker free app.
Saucer Eyes
Another day stuck behind a computer, phoning, going to meetings …… it’s a good job that I’ve committed to producing an artblog each day otherwise I’d never get any artwork done! I popped over to The Fox Project again for a look at their photos and came across a little cub with huge saucer eyes.Continue reading “Saucer Eyes”
Fox And Frustration
It’s been a frustrating day. I’ve been searching for airfares online since lunchtime and I’m sick of the sight of the computer! I haven’t done anything creative so I searched the photos of one of my favourite Facebook sites, The Fox Project. I had a quick scribble. Here it is. And now to bed. Goodnight.Continue reading “Fox And Frustration”
Foxy Finale
I’ve been taking part in a Facebook daily drawing challenge for February and this is the last one. The month’s flown by. I’ve done quite a bit of practice on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and also been practicing drawing British wildlife from Internet stock photos. I’ve enjoyed it and I’ll probably carry on forContinue reading “Foxy Finale”
Bureaucracy!
Today was one bureaucratic mess! I’ve been planning something really big for months now and I was hoping to make it public today but bureaucracy has gotten in the way and I have to spend more time getting paperwork and forms together and travelling hundreds of miles to get the documentation I need. Pain inContinue reading “Bureaucracy!”
