Dr Sketchy drawings

These are all drawings from Dr Sketcy Nottingham sessions. The first one is probably my favourite 10 mins of drawing ever. A girl in a jar. I am doing a version in oils right now. Woo hoo! Most of these are 5-10 mins a couple may be up to 15. Dr Sketchy is ACE!

Paintings and stuff

Hi everyone. This dump is a fairly mixed bag. The 3 broadly treated portraits are from the sessions at the West Hallam Portrait Group. The monochrome one was my first (rather bad) attempt at doing a Grisaille study. It was very interesting to do, so much quicker than painting in colour and really lets you focus on tone and edges. I will be doing more of these soon.

This one I revisited after the initial day of painting as I was not happy with the overall contrast. It got a bit fiddly in the end. Use the biggest brush you can for the job at hand!


This one is of my wife and was a much longer painting.
I did this as a birthday gift for my fine old friend Mr Chapman. He is such an excellent fellow and also is Batman!
Charcoal portrait. Begining of a long learning curve but i enjoyed it and learnt a great deal doing it!

RED PANDA INVASION

HOOBA finally arrived. He far surpassed my expectations and the build quality is perfect.
I think they have a few left over at Patch Together if anyone wants to grab one!!
I took a few photos so you can check him out. Massive thanks to the guys at PT for making this a reality for me. YAY!!

Mech Knight

I have been tinkering for this one over a good few lunchtimes. Props to John mad dog McCoy who showed me a few magic tricks a month or so a go. That boy has some mad skills indeed!

Frankii Wilde Pin Up

I have been working on this one for a little while and am calling it done. Had an absolute blast with it.
Thanks to Frankii Wilde (the loverly model) and Luna Rain (the marvelous photographer who allowed me to kindly use her images as reference).
I am pleased with the overall pop on this one and the energy I have achieved. Good fun.

'Delicious Burlesque' event

Hello blogosphere!
I attended the Delicious Burlesque event in Derby on Saturday.
The talented Charlotte Thomson very kindly let me come and draw on the Dr Sketchy stand.
We had a brilliant day drawing the glamorous burlsque-ers. We did a good few drawings but I only occaisionally remembered to take a photo! Stupid Jake. Here are a few of the 10 minute portraits along with their respective sitters.
It was tough to do but it was a real buzz. I will be doing more stuff like this in the future hopefully.
Edit: my drawings are the left ones on the 1st and 3rd photos and the one on the second photo. The other 2 are by Charlotte. It was great fun working with someone who has such a different style from me.
