When work takes up my full day, I’ve been doing some still life and interiors drawings or value studies. In some instances I have gotten carried away with myself and stayed up too late doing the drawing. I’ve found the make art everyday challenge useful in that it’s made me go down the studio to […]
…. is putting the finishing touches on, and debating whether or not they’re ‘ruin’ their piece. I usually encourage a more gunshot attitude (I am very good at telling my students to put more shadow in, height lights etc) but when it comes to commissions, my knees are knocking, and my hands are shaking.

Mask. Reference from Letzteschatten-stock. Well I think the month has helped me get better at drawing, and noses, but I still need to work on drawing smoke. This photos a bit lighter than the original as it was to dark, but I didn’t really notice until now as I was galloping out the door to […]

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. […]
Crooked I love the concept for this one, but i failed to pull it off. I need to figure out the back lighting situation with the fire, do better with monotone fire and smoke, and avoid giving her a hatching moustashe. In the stock photo she has a crooked smile, looking up to no good and […]
Swift I found my Pental brush pen! I spent all day looking for it when I was doing my inktober stash post. I promptly scribbled all over my drawing and regretted it. I am not happy with this one, and I am putting it down to the rush to get it done before work. I’m […]
