drawing

Wednesday in progress.

Prismacolor pencil drawing

Endangered frog featured in a recent news article. 2B and colour pencil drawing. Based on an Imago Wildlife website image.

We couldn't resist an urge to draw Loki himself (played by Tom Hiddleston)! Created by Katie.

My first ever toned tan portrait. I messed up the hair but I learned a lot for next time.

Mushroom made on ink with the pointillism technique

Beginning Maude was so full of watermelon and sunshine that she needed a nap. Watermelon rind seemed like a very convenient hammock with a side of a snack. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjMm25BcuU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Beginning. Bill was feverishly trying to remember how knees worked. Knees made no sense to him. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQLzTZhhoGB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Some more practice with the eyes and nose, but added some expressions to change it up a bit. Let me know what you think

Beginning. The bird had a pair of sunglasses she used exclusively to daydream. Today she dreamed about blueberries. It seemed strange - maybe - to daydream about them while sitting under a blueberry bush, but the bird thought it made them sweeter. Besides, they were better conversationalists in her imagination. https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_rDGEh_80/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Inspired by Van Gogh's "Wheatfield with Crows"

forgotten creature

I decided to try another doodle - some inspiration behind this one - I’ve recently heard how life seems to be this constant dreadful loop, cylinder like walk, everyday the same. Life is more of a triangle, with the point of being up and down, one turn different than the next, and I guess you could say the next turn is unknown - why I left the one side blank, for your interpretation of what happens next.

(HB pencil on 47mm x 80mm paper) Another of my small Guardian Spirit works, which constantly rip into the idea of guardian angels and spirit guides. An idea just about as ridiculous as alien visitations themselves. Could that be a laser weapon the alien's holding, or a portable anal probe?

Another sketch of my hand

TAKING ROOT

The 5th graphite drawing for a series I'm working on. It's called "Burial."

I started sketching a scene and thought "I'm not that good at drawing trees", so rather than do an entire scene, I thought I'd have a go at a single tree as an exercise. In hindsight I used too thick a pen. Time to break out the 0.1 pens for future sketches.

Llyn Mymbyr, Snowdonia. This view looking in the opposite direction to Snowdon. First time using a Uniball UB-150, but the paper allowed it to bleed somewhat so the lines were a little heavier than intended. I think it would benefit from better quality paper or a finer pen.

I saw other artists use a white out pen to add small details to their finished drawing so I decided to experiment. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work.
