I’ve been working in colour pencil in my ‘new’ sketchbook which was a birthday present from last April. It does mean I finished a sketchbook to get to this point, so that’s something.
I like the red ribbon hanging off durring scanning, and its hip to be square.
A warmup for today, Barney the guinea pig.
More posts soon!
Just a couple of quick sketches.
Some quick warmup sketches.

So today is Self Portrait Day. It only sort of looks like me.
A couple of pieces I finished a few weeks ago.
I think I wanted to buy this parka, instead I painted it. Much cheaper.
A very pretty mackerel eyeing a strange lure.
Something that has been sitting on my hard drive for ages, but I knew it would be quick work and satisfying to finish.
A sampling of the better drawings from the last few weeks of life drawing.
I’m working the Fairytales re-imagined over on CGHub. Haven’t worked as hard on this as I should have. First proper sketch:
And a sketch of some nail varnish bottles.
I’m having a lot of trouble deciding if I have a style or not. I clearly have some sort of attachment for realism. I also am still quite messy with my lines. I’ve been in a copy from life/reference slump for a long time and only just starting to stretch my imagination muscles, so it’s hard to see anything unique in what I’m doing. I sometimes get the impression that having a bit of an obvious style is desirable, but I don’t have a clear idea of what sort of style I might have or even want.
I’m envious of people with a clear-cut style that is easily recognisable. I figure I’ve got a lot of work left to do before I’m comfortable with my work.
Sigh. More things to worry about.
More drawing from the life drawing group in oxford. First two from yesterday, others from last week.
This was over an hour long pose, the longest pose I’ve had in the group and it was a nice change. Two pairs of shoes because we had a break for tea and biscuits.
Five minutes each

Five minutes
