SMOKING SKETCH
I just can’t stop!! Probably should move to using something other than the Pencil function to sketch..
SKETCH OF FRIDAY
Sketch of the day. It is very cold today! I am very close to the point of hibernation.
A WEEK IN BIRMINGHAM
A week in Birmingham! A city I have never visited before, and so off I went with rucksack packed with my climbing shoes, chalk bag, camera, swimsuit (hotel with pool!) and other necessities. I had one of the most relaxing weeks.. I do enjoy a hotel stay here and there :) I like waking up,...
ARCTIC BIRD
Anyone not watching Attenborough’s Frozen Planet on BBC? It is amazing, and I truly wish he was my grandfather; imagine all the stories you’d get to hear. I was trying to get some stills from the show to marvel at, but ended up googling for arctic birds instead and found this little fella- the Redpoll....
AZTEC COLOUR
Inspired by yesterdays post, today I ditched the go-to pen of choice, the black felt tip, and went straight to colouring without borders. Don’t think I’ve ever done this actually; I’ve always enjoyed the boundary that black lines give me, feels like shelter. But today, having walked through the Bristol Zombie walk in the rain,...
SHIELDS
First attempt at someone of the opposite sex, photographer Tyler Shields. Stumbled upon his site a few days ago, found a photo that I thought might be fun to draw and here be it. Would have liked a more natural skin tone pink in my felt tip collection!
THE RISING SUN
Fei Fei Sun, a wonderful model I had the privilege seeing walk at London Fashion Week. Found a photo of her after / between shows and it was a great simple one to bosh out. Bit of a pure sketcharoo today, no colour besides the eyes.
LATE NIGHT SKETCHING
And I am back. A thousand apologies for having neglected this site for awhile, I have been ever so busy with exciting new ventures that in short, involves fashion week, bundles of vintage clothes and styling for a magazine… whirlwind! When I get a breather in my weeks, it always feels amazing to have time...
MASTER CLASS
My first magazine purchase in absolutely years on a milk buying walk to the local McColls by the Evening Post building. I thought, well why not hey? Let’s buy the Vogue UK Sept issue. The writeups on the history of Gucci, the life of Galliano, were quite enjoyable reads. I haven’t yet got to the...
LOVE
I do love the topic of love. It’s truly interesting and encompasses the ticking on of the world. Wherever it’s created from, what side of the brain it is, what causes it to happen, this and that, tit and tat.. who cares really? All is important is that it’s real and special to all living...
DRAWING IN JUNE
I’ve seen many blogs reccently (many, many, many) due to my internship with Motel Rocks that started a few weeks ago! Some that I’ve come across have really stood out and offer something interesting and different from the crowd (and are now on my Google Reader list). ElleVictoire was one of them where I came...
LIVE ON
I tweeted this sketch ages ago, and reccently I have also cleared my desk out abit, alongside the paper stack that was compiling itself on top of my printer scanner. Live on, live on, rock and rollers. Shake the crows out of your hair, let a shout loose and strutt your wonderful self into the...
CALL HOME
A quick sketch coloured in, her alien features prompted me to give her blue hair.. no other colour seemed to suit in my felt tip collection. I like these little devilly creatures that seem to be the guardians of my drawings. I like to think there’s a big trail of them following me around in...
CHOOSE LOVE
Another day, another sketch.. well not entirely true. This was from the pile that I drew on my drawing kick yesterday, and coloured in with my felt tips this afternoon. I’m regaining usage and love for my felt tips. I have an on-off relationship with them, I will use them lots, then for 4 months...
DIFFERENT
Today particularly was somehow very condusive for my brain to pour out and draw. I am not entirely sure why, perhaps it’s the rumblings of calm excitement at the new arrival, maybe it was the sunny yet windy disposition outside, or simply the right combination of breakfast, lunch and an assortment of cups of teas.....
