A Head In Lines

Here’s another digital study I did at this week’s life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I took a different approach with this one and concentrated on line rather than tone. I did this on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app and drew with the smart stylus.

Smudgy Finger

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I concentrated on portraiture this evening. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app and used my finger for this study rather than the stylus. It gives a much softer and smudgier effect. I built the drawing by overlaying tones ontoContinue reading “Smudgy Finger”

The Nightmare Foot

Here’s another digital life drawing I did at Swansea Print Workshop this week. I love doing life drawing; I love anatomy and I like to challenge myself with a bit of foreshortening. It’s hard to draw though. That left foot was a nightmare. I used my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free MarkersContinue reading “The Nightmare Foot”

Sleepy Head

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop and here’s a head. The weather has been much colder and stormy the past few days. It was the first time the central heating has been on there since the Spring and our model dozed off. I drew this on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8,Continue reading “Sleepy Head”

More Paintingy Drawingy Stuff

I carried on doing the paintingy drawingy thing today. I stapled a bit of gessoed canvas to the wall and started rubbing Daler Rowney System 3 acrylic pigments, thinned with screenprinting medium, onto it with my fingers wrapped in rags. The original is a life drawing I did earlier this year. It’s odd using paint.Continue reading “More Paintingy Drawingy Stuff”

Paintingy Drawingy Thing

Today I had an urge to use paint. I’m not a painter. I don’t get paint but I really fancied using some earlier. So I stapled a bit of gesso-ed canvas to the wall and rubbed it all over with a yellow ochre acrylic pigment, put on with rags. It dried pretty quickly so IContinue reading “Paintingy Drawingy Thing”

A Body In Space

Here’s another digital study of a female nude I did at this week’s life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. It is a quick sketch, about 10 minutes, where I concentrated on siting the body within the space. I used a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app.

A Late Head

Here’s another digital study of a head that I drew at life drawing last night at Swansea Print Workshop. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app. I wanted to blog it yesterday but the Internet has been terrible for the last 24 hours and has just come back.

An Older Woman

Here’s another of the digital drawings I did during life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop a couple of evenings ago. I like working with this older woman model. Her face and body have lived life and are so very interesting to study. I prefer to work with older models and male models, to break awayContinue reading “An Older Woman”
