  • Life Drawing #25a – Hoopy

    Life Drawing #25a – Hoopy

    Jumping through hoops? The life model (Ash) brought her hoop with her, and it was a lot of fun going around in circles, looping the loop and well, hooping the hoop. Did a nice A2 brush and ink piece (with some added tippex pen) seen above, and a few nice watercolours. Drawing the gestures and…

  • Drink and Draw #2 – Fairy

    Drink and Draw #2 – Fairy

    So I finally got to Drink and Draw proper a few weeks ago at The Lamb. Fairy, a local and very colourful model was appropriately wearing wings (hence her name given to her by Robin Hutchinson of Seething Festival fame). I had a lot of fun trying to do her clothes justice (I sadly didn’t…

As is the watercolour above where I was holding the pose in the air for a long time…) Also drew my feet because John challenged me, he said ‘what about feet?’ and claimed…

  • You need hands…

    You need hands…

    It’s been obvious from my lifedrawing that my hands need work (as do most people, it seems everyone thinks their hands could be better, even when they look great to me, it’s a common complaint). So here is some hand homework, studies 1:1 in Pilot 0.8 pen and my new Winsor & Newton Watercolour Sticks…
