Here’s two sketches of the same musician from the recent Swansea Fringe. He’s playing with the band Sigiriya. It’s good practice to repeat sketching the same subject, it refines what you do.

Hitting And Dribbling.
Getting some colour down at Swansea Fringe last weekend – has it been a week already? I was rocking out to Sons of Thunder (at Hangar 18) and literally HITTING the paper with my Inktense blocks. Then I hit the paper with my reservoir brush, dribbling the water all over the place. Sometimes the imageContinue reading “Hitting And Dribbling.”
Groovy Paisley Shirt.
Sometimes when I’m sketching at gigs, I look for interesting things going on around the figure I’m drawing. This musician with the band “Strange Orchid” had a groovy Paisley shirt and was performing in front of Philip Cheater‘s artwork in Elysium. I drew the head with a graphite block and used Inktense blocks and aContinue reading “Groovy Paisley Shirt.”
Heavy Rock Legs.
When I sketch at gigs, I don’t just want to draw the bands. They’re often moving so fast that it gets a bit frantic so to cool off a bit, I draw the audience. Sometimes it’s fun to draw heads, sometimes legs. This is a leg sketch. It’s good practice to get that foreshortening onContinue reading “Heavy Rock Legs.”
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.
A Little Hairy Basket…
I went on a short course at Swansea Print Workshop this weekend led by the artist Dr. Veronica Calarco. It’s called “Prints To Baskets” and she shows how to reuse those failed prints (we all have them) by converting them into hand-made baskets. This is a selection of those made by the artists participating. TheContinue reading “A Little Hairy Basket…”
A Year Gone Already?!
Suddenly a year has gone by and the Swansea Fringe is upon us again! I’ve been sketching last night and this at some of the Rock venues. I’m tired now! All rocked out! More to come…
#Caturday Saturday
It’s #Caturday Saturday once again, don’t the weeks rush by quickly? Here’s Sparta Puss all cwtched on a blankie on a giant cushion on the window seat, posing in front of some brilliant sunflowers.
#Caturday: Almost Together.
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a photo of Bill (William ChatNoir) in the foreground and Sparta Puss in the background, just a metre or so from each other. Bill’s on the bed, Sparta Puss on the window seat and both are trying very hard to ignore each other. It’s been 14 months since weContinue reading “#Caturday: Almost Together.”
