Drawing In The Dark

Out gallivanting at a gig again on Saturday night, having a scribble as ever. It was very dark and this bloke was all in black with long black hair and this is what I ended up with.

The Flat Hat.

It seems that flat hats are back. I always associate flat caps with old blokes, but now that I’m old, it’s a bit of a surprise seeing young men wearing them. Yes, it’s a young man in my sketch but the flat hat and moustache (also making a comeback apparently) that make him look older.Continue reading “The Flat Hat.”

Leaning…

Here’s another of my quick gig scribbles, this guy was sitting and leaning his arm against a pillar, while his other arm leant against the bar. I used the continuous line technique which helped to establish the proportions between the chair and the two people.

Anti Social Networking

There’s an informal monthly after-work networking meet-up at Urban HQ, organised by the irrepressible Lucy Beddall. It’s called The Anti Social. Husb and I popped along last week, a lot of creatives go along, as well as people with their own businesses and those working in the third and non-profit sectors. Of course, I hadContinue reading “Anti Social Networking”

Overlaying Scribbles.

Out at Elysium a few nights ago (such a gadabout!) and I was having a scribble while listening to some funky rap. I was trying to draw a crowd scene but people kept moving around. HOW VERY DARE THEY?! So rather than start new drawings, I just overlaid them on top of one another. IContinue reading “Overlaying Scribbles.”

Pants!

Big baggy pants at a gig last week. Husb and I had a hectic week, a social whirl! I had a week off work so I made the most of it. Which gig was this? Ummm. Oh yeah, funky rap at Elysium.

The Gig In The Church

Husb and I went to an unusual place for a gig on Friday night, a church! Llangiwg Church is a fascinating place, very ancient with a huge yew tree alongside, which indicated it may be built on an earlier Celtic holy site. There’s also a stone-lined healing / holy well in the grounds and spectacularContinue reading “The Gig In The Church”

#Caturday Saturday

Aaaaaand it’s that time of the week again, when the world puts their cats on show. I started sketching Sparta Puss earlier, when she was asleep, then she woke up and walked away. She’s a tortoiseshell, or maybe a calico, but mostly black with flashes of ginger and white socks. Adorable.

Another Gig Scribble…

Let’s be honest, I go to a lot of gigs. And I always carry a sketchbook. So I do a lot of gig scribbling…or is that scrib giggling…or gib scriggling? Maybe I should get a good night’s sleep 😀
