Strawberry Sketches: June 2011
http://strawberrysketches.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 June 2011. Illustration Friday - Midsummer Night, Launch, Swept, Shadows, Asleep and Soaked. I've been busy at work and had winter bugs so I've stock piled a mega load of illustrations for Illustration Friday, starting from most recent to oldest. Enjoy! 65279;. 65279; As you can see, it's a real mixed bag! I had a lot of fun experimenting with different styles, although, I keep coming back to colouring on the computer as a favourite. I'm now up to date, hooray! Wednesday, 15 June 2011.

http://strawberrysketches.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 April 2011. I drew this whilst watching the Royal Wedding where I got plenty of inspiration for pomp and glamour! Thursday, 28 April 2011. Illustration Friday - Bicycle. Long time between blog entries and I blame it on Easter Eggs. I decided to try out Illustration Friday for the first time http:/ www.illustrationfriday.com/. This was fun to do and a good challenge. I'd like to give it another try again soon and even allow myself more than a day. maybe. Sunday, 3 April 2011. Todays challenge...

Monday, 9 September 2013. Pub Sketches - 9 September 2013. I didn't have the best angle tonight but got a couple of drawings which turned out OK using black conte. Most of my evening was spent feasting on Potato Wedges. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a Graphic Designer and I also write comics, draw and paint pictures now and then.

Monday, 29 July 2013. Pub Sketches - 29 July 2013. Another dark, cold, rainy night in a cosy warm pub for some more drawing. It wasn't as crowded as last week but still didn't get the best vantage point when I first got there even though I actually turned up on time for a change! Some folks must camp out I'm thinking. Got a better spot after the break and a mass exodus. Warm up sketches - 1 and 2 minute, charcoal. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a Graphic Designer and I also write comics, draw an...

Friday, 20 September 2013. Dr Sketchy and Pub Sketches - 16 Sept 2013. I'm doing a double post this week since I had two drawing sessions. This Monday was a cold, record breaking rainy day (almost 60mm in 24 hours for interested weather nerds.) so it meant that there weren't many people there. I got a good spot with one of the best models (I'm being diplomatic, all the models have been great! I didn't recognise her at first behind spotty body paint and blond wig but I did immediately recognise her tattoo!

Strawberry Sketches: March 2011
http://strawberrysketches.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 March 2011. Since I was in the mood and still inspired by the 1927 Picture Show Annual, I created another film star illustration using ink washes, drawing pens and gouache. Again, I really like the dramatic lighting and contrast and romantic poses too. Here is the cover of the book itself for those interested. Sunday, 27 March 2011. Along the same lines, I created the painting below a couple of years ago, acrylic on canvas of a 1940's film star. Sunday, 6 March 2011. I'm a Graphic Designer a...

Strawberry Sketches: February 2013
http://strawberrysketches.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 3 February 2013. First of all, it's been waaaaaaay too long since I last posted anything on this blog so I thought it was about time I got back into it again with a project I've been working on in January. This is an illustration for an upcoming exhibition at The Front Cafe and Gallery in Lyneham during March and April 2013. It's a group sequential exhibition based on the medieval Dutch/Flemish fairytale 'The Song of Heer Halewijn'. More detailed information can be found on the exhibition site,.

Monday, 22 July 2013. Pub Sketches - 22 July 2013. This week we had a variation, a bloke! Now there's a challenge. I'm out of practice drawing male models as the majority have been female over the years. There's a totally different world of muscle tone and fewer curves. I decided to work in charcoal for warm ups and black ball point pen for the longer poses. Warm up, charcoal - 2 mins. Warm up, ballpoint pen - 10 mins. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
