Here’s the second digital drawing I made at life drawing this week at Swansea Print Workshop. I started with a very dark ground and worked over it in white and greys with touches of red in the hair and blue on the tattoos. I drew with my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the freeContinue reading “Red Hair”

Head And Hair
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Here’s one of the digital sketches I did with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app. I saved the drawing as I went along and put it into a slideshow gallery to show the development of the sketch. This model has aContinue reading “Head And Hair”
Process Of A Head
Here’s another digital study of a head, working with a professional model and using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app. I started with a mid grey background and built up the drawing using greys, black and white with the airbrush and translucent brushes. I saved at stages during the processContinue reading “Process Of A Head”
Another Day, Another Head
Here’s another digital sketch I did at life drawing this week at Swansea Print Workshop. I concentrated on drawing the head, measuring as best I could to get a reasonably accurate likeness. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with a free Markers app, working from a mid tone background with black and white.Continue reading “Another Day, Another Head”
Head In Chiaroscuro
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop and I continued practicing portraits using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. I created a dark background and worked up the head in greys and white, emphasising the chiaroscuro effect from the ceiling spotlight.
Muck Spreading
I didn’t draw or blog yesterday! I am a bad person! Sometimes life gets in the way. Husb and I ended up shovelling lots of farmyard manure, transporting it to the allotment and piling it on some of our raised beds. Several hours of muck spreading in the heat and flies. Then we went foragingContinue reading “Muck Spreading”
Another Day, Another Head.
Carrying on with studying the head, I did a couple more drawings from the Burne Hogarth book, ‘Dynamic Anatomy’ then I pressganged Husb into posing again. I continued to work in greys and white over a black ground, using mostly a large soft brush in the Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8.Continue reading “Another Day, Another Head.”
Black And White
Had a long day starting with the fabulous Uplands Market this morning then an exciting trip to Llanelli to buy jam pot covers because there don’t seem to be any on sale in Swansea followed by a workout on the beach at the open air gym and then up to the opening of the newContinue reading “Black And White”
Jamming And A Hot Cat
It’s probably been the hottest day of the year so far, in the upper 20sC and the cat is sleeping on a fleecy blanket on top of the hot water boiler! And she wears a fur coat! I ended up in the kitchen for hours making jam. There’s been a glut of blackcurrants on theContinue reading “Jamming And A Hot Cat”
A Happy Accident
Husb and I spent most of today down the allotment, digging, harvesting, weeding, laying slabs, pruning, watering. It was boiling hot and we’re shattered. A hot bath with Epsom Salts helped to ease the aches. I wasn’t in the mood to do any drawing but I’ve set myself the goal of drawing every day soContinue reading “A Happy Accident”
