Climb To get to the top youâve got to climb. Very quickly done with my sailor 40 degree fude pen and carbon ink. Donât feel like I did the reference material justice, but thatâs what I got done, and i donât have time to restart it today. Reference is from: Anettfrozen Squeak If youâve read […]
Climb To get to the top youâve got to climb. Very quickly done with my sailor 40 degree fude pen and carbon ink. Reference is from: Anettfrozen Squeak If youâve read the Discworld novels, youâll know. This is the death of rats, and even if the rat catcher doesnât believe in reincarnation, reincarnation believes in […]
Ship. I used to read epic fantasy when I was a kid, I had read all the kids books in the library and then over on to epic fantasy (and the discworld) I read a series called Live Ships, where the figure heads could talk, navigate and fight back against invaders. Half way through sticking […]
Blind. References from Attemptestock I started this on the morning of the 24th before work, but I knew I wouldnât have time to get it finished. As it was such a beautiful stock image I wanted to take more time over it and do delicate ink washes, so factoring in that drawing faces and hands […]
Finally, caught up and on track. Although I spent two hours on this, it didnât all go well. However I was able to pull some of it back. Still always more to work on, faces at funny angles/foreshortening. I have managed to embrace what a splotchy wash the ink Iâm using makes. Now I except […]
Very sadly one of my students has passed away. He did have a chronic illness, but got on with life at his own pace and left the class seemingly fine. His wife sent me an email to let me know of his passing, so as he was part of a very proactive art group, weâre […]
Still catching up. Super quick drawings and inking. Wow do I wish Iâd taken an extra five minutes to get the glasses less wonky. On the plus side, the foreshortening isnât so bad. Stock from Senshistock Got a little carried away with this one, couldnât resist an ink wash. Menâs faces are definitely easier for […]
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 donât do art like that artist/as well as that artist. Itâs 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 canât 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 […]
