    Online Life Drawing #2 & Portraits #3

    Still going strong with the online sessions, I think I’ve got this quick-drawing-cos-I’m-usually-late thing down pat with the Sailor fude fountain pen. First up is the second life drawing session with pictures of the amazing Daisy, a model I have featured here many times as a regular at Cass. I didn’t finish this session but…

    Portraits at the Pub 5: Aniela

    Life drawing #12

    This week was an older lady modelling, and I wanted to focus more on  accuracy. So wanting a more defined and bold line, I experimented with the free Pigment fine liner I got from Cult Pens which I’d not used. I really liked the drawings I did with it, so I’m definitely getting some more!…
