Portraits At The Pub 35: Marsha
Less happy with this portraits session unlike previous ones, not sure why. I like the woody pencil piece, and the abstract parts of this paint stick – the knees and chair specifically, but I do feel the parallel pen piece didn’t work – looks like she’s terrified…and the other paint stick piece is rather wonky.…

Life Drawing #40 – Tessa
Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc was on my mind during this session, the model had long locks which made the session interesting and rather hard for accurate drawing because of the short pose times.
