A Head At A Gig … The Thoughtful One …

I spotted this bloke at a gig Husb and I recently went to, he was in the audience and lost in his own world of thoughts … which meant that he kept pretty still, easier for me to draw 😀  I used a graphite block into my Khadi handmade paper sketchbook.

A Head At A Gig….The Jolly One…

Here’s another muso from a gig Husb and I went to the other evening. He is a jolly musician in a very jolly and upbeat band. He was fun to draw. I used a graphite block into my Khadi handmade paper sketchbook. I like the thick graphite with this textured paper, anything finer would struggleContinue reading “A Head At A Gig….The Jolly One…”

A quick portrait sketch with a graphite block into my Khadi handmade paper sketchbook. I like the thick graphite with this textured paper, anything finer would struggle to be seen. This guy had lots of quite unruly hair and the thick end of the graphite block was ideal for scribbling a likeness.

Deep In Focus.

I was at the Riverside folk club the other evening and scribbled away in my sketch book. This performer was deeply focused, very wrapped up in performing. I used a 2B Koh-i-Noor graphite block into a square Khadi handmade paper sketchbook.

Feisty Folkie With Risqué Rhymes.

This guy was a hoot at the Riverside Folk Club the other evening. No refined refrains for him, straight into some robust renditions of saucy songs.

The Joy Of Drawing!

Sometimes I just want to draw for the sheer joy of it. Some people love to sing, or to run as fast as they can. I love to draw. I was at the Riverside folk club the other evening and scribbled away in my sketch book. I often draw musicians and audiences at music events,Continue reading “The Joy Of Drawing!”

More From The Annual Cockling.

A couple of very quick little sketches from the annual labyrinth maintenance at Rosehill Quarry. I had to work quickly because people moved fast. Very good practice though
