A few from the sketchbook. Went to the first of the Cardiff Sketchers meet-up today so two are from that!

Its a good reminder about how useful and easy it is to go out and draw

speckled hands and raw fingers. painting, sanding, show prep

I really need to invest in a camera, bad quality phone images just don’t cut it with pencil drawings. Here’s two of my last life drawing for a while now! I’ve seen a huge improvement in my drawing over the 10 week course.

[also thanks to all the new people who saw my work on the featured tag and decided to follow! :) ]

nearly sorted my final display, just need to tidy up the tape painting and finish off my books!

a few life drawings

I think I’ve been making these smaller drawings to compensate for the fact I haven’t reeeally liked anything I’ve made this term. I enjoy doing these because I don’t have to worry about them trying to be something more than a drawing. After experimenting (quite a lot I feel?! especially with paint) this term I know that my interests lie within drawing, with materials I can use continuously with out stopping to have to load paint onto a brush or get scissors to cut tape with… Materials that are instant. The work I enjoy doing is strongly based around process, layers and line. I could definitely experiment more with colour in my drawings though..

Crayons with my nephews and doodles on found illustrations

So this is my first ever gif and ok, I didn’t quite nail it, but I’ve finallyyy been able to upload it without my theme making it massive
