A Speedy Head

I has a few minutes left at the end of life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop last week so I scribbled the model’s head very quickly on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app.

Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop, the regular Thursday night group and I am shattered, so just a quick blog from me.

She came to this session with a magnificent embroidered kimono with dragons all overContinue reading “The Model With The Dragon Kimono”

Lizards scramble across her body chasing ants and flies into carnivorous plants. She’s not easy to draw because it’s a balance between drawing herContinue reading “Tattoo Tattoo Tattoo”
