Artist & Tutor
Filthy Cloud A five minute and a ten minute quick catch up sketch. Filthy is on Hahnemuhle bamboo mixed media paper and cloud is on lyndhurst, a cartridge paper that is marketed for ink and wash by daler rowney. Both sketched out with my kuru toga pencil and then inked with my Lamy safari fountain […]
I often get paralysed by comparison with all the artists I admire out there, and am often really mean to myself about how I don’t do art like that artist/as well as that artist. It’s often something I hear from students as well. Why are we so mean to ourselves? As Minnie Small says in […]
In an effort to improve my people drawing I did some sketching when attending an Art Fund lecture on country houses. I can’t remember the name of the lecturer, but he was very good. It was about how country houses and castles are functionally different, but they did overlap. In exploring this it highlighted how […]
Graceful Stock from Senshistock. I do like the face a bit better for not cross hatching it, but will have to work on noses. Used the usual suspects: Lamy safari fountain pen, gel pen, kuru toga mechanical pencil, Pental pocket brush pen, premixed ink wash in a brush pen and my heat gun. Have finished up […]
Fat Todays theme is where I felt bad for my self imposed theme of female faces/figures, but Senshistock came to the rescue again. In terms of what I set out to do, I ended up hiding the hands, as I didn’t have time to fix them, and again with not being happy with my cross hatching. I […]
Teeming Fierce Mysterious Been busy, some where all done on the 15th, and I am not happy with them. I bashed them out in under two hours before I went to bed. So they’re very small, and none of the anatomy is particularly convincing, but they are done. I did them with lamy safari fountain […]
Shattered Stock from Robyn rose and Everythingisinstock. A very rushed one, left it drying on the backseat of my car while i went to work, and then did a bit more and drove on. Yes, the wash is still wet on the ‘finished’ one. I used what i could easily carry without having a catastrophe in my handbag. […]
Run I couldn’t resist this stock photo from Senshistock and so i put more time into getting the drawing correct than putting my own spin on it. I have no regrets. Great drawing practice. I just wish I’d spent more time on the expression…! I think i have found what i need to work on…. Materials are […]
Gigantic Stock is from Senshistock. Overall pleased with this one, couple of mistakes that are more obvious for me trying to fix them, but hey. Zeppelins! I think the scale would have been more obvious if I’d added birds eye view of a city scape or something… but not this inktober! used my pre-diluted ink washes […]
Screech I really enjoyed this one, there’s still things I would change, but I’ve achieved what i set out to do, she has a facial expression! And it is done in ink. I used the same materials as #8…. because they where both done on the 9th of October. Reference: Faestock
