Looking through my sketchbooks from June 2015, I was going through a phase of pasting brown wrapping paper into my sketchbooks to give a bit more variety to my drawings. Here are some I did of musicians at one of the local folk clubs.

The Last Hat.
The last sketch and last hat from the Imbolc gig. There seems to be a trend for hatted performers at the moment for some reason. This is a fine bit of headgear and thankfully this musician isn’t bearded or bespectacled so he was a bit easier to draw.
Short Pants, Long Pants.
Husb and I went to a gig at Elysium on Samhain a few days ago, a mixture of performers, folk and metal, with a pagan theme. When I go to gigs, I often draw legs in the audience and I did at this one. Then it occurred to me that everyone was wearing long trousers.Continue reading “Short Pants, Long Pants.”
The Samhain Mask.
Husb and I went to a fab gig at Elysium last Friday. It was Samhain and we listened to a great line up of pagan-ish music. This guitarist with the most excellent band Adfeilion was wearing a terrific, and terrifying, animal skull mask. Of course I had to have a scribble. Adfeilion is a youngContinue reading “The Samhain Mask.”
Warming Up At The Gig.
Husb and I were at a gig at Elysium last night, an evening of pagan folk, rock and metal. Lovely. I had a scribble of course. I usually start by doing some quick sketches of the audience to warm up.
Trying Too Hard…
Sometimes I just try too hard and I end up with a drawing that is over-worked and without much life. This was a very striking woman in the audience at one of the music events at the recent Swansea Fringe, but because she was quite still, I worked too slowly and lost the spontaneity ofContinue reading “Trying Too Hard…”
The Quick Scribbles: 1
When I go into a venue to draw at a gig, I usually start off by scribbling a few quick sketches. It wakes up my muscle memory and I can check if I feel comfortable drawing in that position – is there enough space or am I being jostled? Is there somewhere to rest myContinue reading “The Quick Scribbles: 1”
The Happy Imbiber.
Here’s a very happy chap at one of the Swansea Fringe gigs at Hangar 18, He was dancing very energetically but never spilled his pint! Kudos.
The Psychedelic T-Shirt.
I was sketching at Hippos on Swansea’s High Street on Friday, part of the Swansea Fringe, and I spotted this fabulous t-shirt on one of the musicians in King Goon. I scribbled with a ballpoint pen and Inktense blocks.
The Enthusiastic Rocker.
I was sketching at Swansea Fringe this last weekend, and I spotted this guy in the audience at the rock gig at Hangar 18. He was loving it (so was I) and I had a quick scribble.
