sketching

Spooky whale time! And a touch of Mark Lanegan flavoured listening material also...

Day job blues... relatable?

Back at it...

Prospects for this month that’s not long started? Here’s hoping!

It's a sperm whale and underground hip-hop kind of day in my world right now.

Here's to those lighter nights...

One last drawing before 2021 draws to a close... There may come a day when I don’t get inspiration from Wings Of Desire, but today’s not one of them (tomorrow’s not looking good either), hehehe. Happy new year when it comes my friends!

Sketch of a fairy.

​Sketching for a new illustration with my Osprey Pens Milano fountain pen.

My Sketch Book drawings = 15€ :) 36 x 27.5cm - shape seems to change coz photos have been cropped https://facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1222732179673725&type=3 https://artdavidmeehan.blogspot.com/p/c.html +351 969 534 520 artdavidmeehan@gmail.com

Return of the space whales (yet again)!

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.

Abstract line drawing while thinking about the different rock formations found in caves, cliffs, hills and those in my rock collection.

When in doubt, draw more whales!

Shark time!

Essential pre-Beltane activities!

All the things!

Drawing time!

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

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

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).

Challenging myself to do only freehand-in-ink sketching this month. Ink + alcohol markers.

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!
