Another quick little sketch from the audience at the recent gig at Elysium. It was a fab gig with the Jerry Williams Band, Goat Major and Mister Bison.

This Was Hard!

I was on a roll sketching at the recent gig at Elysium, but it doesn’t always work out. This one was really hard to do. The musician had a distinctive stance and that, coupled with the angle of his guitar, made this scribble difficult.

More Heavy Metal Legs

More heavy metal legs I scribbled at the Elysium gig Husb and I were at last weekend. Male metal fans seem to like wearing short trousers, so I get lots of practice drawing men’s legs with socks and trainers.

The Stance!

This guy at the recent gig at Elysium had a great stance, so I scribbled him. I was listening to the band “Goat Major” at the time and really getting into the “occult doom/stoner metal” groove as I scribbled away, it made my pen strokes much more intense, I think.

I’ve still got it!

When I’m scribbling away at a gig, there’s a lot of things to take into consideration that you don’t get when you’re drawing in a studio setting. For a start, the musicians and audience tend to be moving around a lot, which is a right pain to draw. Then there’s usually low lighting so theContinue reading “I’ve still got it!”

Heavy Metal Legs

Just back from an awesome gig at Elysium…more on that tomorrow. It was heavy, mostly metal, and there are always plenty of heavy metal legs to scribble.

A Way With Hats.

I did some sketching at the Saint George in Swansea last Friday eve, where Husb and I had a great time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Apart from being superb musicians, they have a snazzy way with hats.

The Accordion Player.

Here’s another quick little scribble from last weekend’s gig with local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. When I was little I remember my Nana played an accordion but after she died, back in the 1960s, I never saw one played again for many years, but recently I’ve seen a few coming back into play.

That Darn Guitar!

Husb and I went to a local pub a few days ago to see local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Great gig, thoroughly enjoyed. Of course, I had to have a scribble. I find it very hard to draw guitars, especially when they’re being played and I have to cope with movement and foreshortening. AhContinue reading “That Darn Guitar!”

Snazzy, Stylish and Steampunky.

I did some sketching at the Saint George in Swansea last Friday eve, where Husb and I had a fantastic time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Apart from being superb musicians, they are also very snazzy dressers, a little bit Steampunky with a lot of style. I wish I’d had my coloursContinue reading “Snazzy, Stylish and Steampunky.”
