Live At The Boxing Club: 6

The last of my scribbles from the Gwent Boxing Club in Townhill in Swansea. The lads are really, really fast so there was no time to do any detailed drawing, I could only do speed sketching. It was good practice to capture movement as quickly as I could. It was very intense, lots of concentration, but worth it becauseContinue reading “Live At The Boxing Club: 6”

Speed sketching gives variable results, sometimes catching fleeting moments quite accurately, sometimes the scribbles look like…well…scribbles. Sketches from my recent visit to the boxing club, these guys are so fast.

From The Ceiling And The Floor.

My first sketch from the boxing club last week, a warm up to get some proportions using continuous line, looking at the punch bags connecting to the ceiling and the floor, before the boxers arrived.

Through A Looking Glass…

I visited a boxing club to draw the other evening. Before the boxers arrived I turned to a large mirror and drew what I could see. I found it easier drawing the image in the mirror than drawing the real world. I used the continuous line technique as the scene is very complicated.

This evening I went and had a scribble at the Gwent Boxing Club in Townhill in Swansea. The lads are lovely and gave me a warm welcome…and a bit of joshing 😀 They’re really, really fast so there was no time to do any detailed drawing, it was speed sketches all the way.
