    Inktober 52 #13-26 – Half Way!

    I may be a few weeks late but finally I got half way on Inktober 52. Weird to look at the 16 imaged below it feels like a marathon even if it maybe doesn’t look it. I stopped several times, most recently after the BLM pieces where I felt the prompts were a little hard…

    Abstracts

    Getting tired of sunny daytime landscapes, I’ve gone the other way inside, or in my garden or at night time to work on abstracts, portraits and night pieces.

But now you can finally see the rest of this session it came from. Two more good…

    Life Drawing #54 – Nick

    Nick was a wonderful model, I hope we have him again, very friendly – and most important, wonderful poses. Another good session for drawing – something I don’t do enough of, especially in pencil or charcoal or graphite. Some very good 5 minute drawings especially the reddish brown one on the left, using my favourite,…
