sketchbook

My last drawing of 2024? Who knows…

Taking time after all things festive to scribble some more… and of course, test out even more washi tape I got gifted!

Why not?

New Washi tape time!

A mellow peach that’s much needed after the last few days!

Return of the space whales (yet again)!

Getting inspired by Blixa Bargeld from Einsturzende Neubaten and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, as you do!

Tonight, I’m getting ideas from Lando Calrissian and all things Star Wars… :-)

Fuschia flowers from the garden which are a favourite with the New Holland Honeyeaters.

This little pine cone was missing one side and looks like it’s been eaten, revealing a repeating pattern in the centre of the cone.

Digital art using sketchbook app features a sole traveler. He us heading to the structure-no smoke so no one is home but it's shelter

Spooky shark time :-)

When in doubt, draw more whales!

Shark time!

Essential pre-Beltane activities!

All the things!

8x5.5 sketchbook, pen & markers

Drawing time!

It’s a Billy Connolly inspired piece this time around…

Doctor Who flavoured cats and goblin sharks going cosmic…

The inevitable Eevee fan art! As you can see, they’re inspiring company :-)

Digital pencil sketch

An impromptu Shane MacGowan tribute! Rest in power good sir, thank you!

Sharks out on a space walk… or just another Tuesday in Bleu’s world.

Freehand sketching in ink, from a photo reference I found online.

Practicing sketching freehand in ink. Pen + alcohol markers.

Part of my challenge to myself to sketch directly in ink this month, and to play around with using alcohol markers for value (a new tool in my arsenal).

For a long time, I always misheard the lyrics in the song ‘Torn Green Velvet Eyes’ by The Magnetic Fields as ‘Tom Green Velvet Eyes’… told myself that one day I’d draw something inspired by this mishearing of things and well, here you go!
