pen

Since quarantine started last year. I have been at my desk creating stuff. Art has been a great channel for all my emotions.

This line from the Stephin Merritt episode of the 'She's A Talker' podcast (referring to Stephen Sondheim plot-lines) got my imagination ticking in overdrive

A Rapidograph inked portrait of a friend, from a photo.

I am pretty sure I did this from a colored pencil how-to book.

This one is okay I guess....It's nothing but a satanic romance.

3D Drawing - Stairs

Colored Pencil...to make my nieces laugh!!

The historically significant American Civil War era Remington .44 Army Percussion Cap & Ball Revolver (circa 1860's). From my sketchbook: HB & 9B graphite pencil on 14cm x 14cm paper.

Practicing tone with different levels of pencil pressure I found very difficult to do because it requires an immense amount of patience and my hat is off to all of you who have mastered it. ⁀⊙﹏☉⁀

Gestures and Pencils

what do you think?,,,,

The work will have to wait I have no ink left now :)

Something simple, yet magical...definitely need to draw more kelpies here!

Binge-watched “Bridgerton” last weekend and paid the price for it all day Saturday. The drawing is based on my wife's picture of me on the couch sleeping off my bad decision. HB, 2B Staedtler mechanical pencils on 8.5” x 11” acid-free sketchbook.

I was listening to Satan's Host and there was a song that gave me the idea to draw this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnDzK3_Q7MQ

This is a memorial piece for my dog, Gripper. I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Still learning colored pencil....

Found him sitting on a wall in the park where I go for a jog since pandemic started. Was so mesmerised by this magnificent beast. I couldn’t stop staring at him every morning. The contrast between the white fur and black skin. So shiny yet so peacefully he sat doing his job.

For you.
