Further Watercolour Heads

By in color, heads, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Maybe I should be doing other things, but I enjoy doing these. Looks like Sophia Loren and the Gangnam Style guy:

Warmer Times

By in color, men, paintings, sketches, watercolour, women

The above was sketched on my friend’s verandah, when it was warmer, and possible to do such things. Below is more stuff from my head, and out of one of my books.

This is a fun painting I did on a theme I was thinking about earlier.

Another New Sketchbook

By in black and white, brush pen, men, pencil, sketches, women

When I feel down, unlike people who buy a pair of shoes, I sometimes get one of these babies. Doesn’t take long to fill those rather small pages. The black Koh-i-Noor stick is nice, too. Hooray for seasonal sales at the art or stationery store! Terrible stuff to watch, last night, on the “Tube” (Youtube, […]

Back to Watercolour

By in color, dogs, horses, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Feels so relaxing painting in watercolours after all this digital staring into the screen thing. I also enjoy painting animals and backgrounds, not to mention plants. So maybe that means some real painting at last. It’s hard to find time for that, though. This sketching I do is mainly therapeutic. Beats punching a wall and […]

Etcetera….

More Heads, and Trees

By in black and white, cats, color, dogs, heads, men, pen and ink, ruttan's place, sketches, women

I’m getting back into the thing of posting what I drew lately, as long as it’s not too dreadful. It’s been hard for me lately, because I’ve been trying new things, and am not totally comfortable with them. Or even convinced that I should be trying them and not doing things more useful. But life […]

Where Have You Been?

By in black and white, men, pencil, sketches, women

Mainly drawing heads, in pencil: Haven’t felt much like sharing. I’ve been working on things like digital painting in Photoshop, creating websites with Dreamweaver, and also studying a method created by Andrew Loomis in the 1940s for drawing heads accurately. Using guidelines always makes my work stiffer and more wooden, and I’ve been working on […]

Walter Colours

By in cats, color, horses, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Despite the punning title of this post, this isn’t Walt Disney. He’s actually the cartoonist who designed Porky Pig. I’ve forgotten his name at the moment, but watched a bio about him on youtube, where a number of these interesting documentaries can be found, if you know where to look for them. UPDATE: Augh. Okay, […]

Pen Mischief

By in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, women

I’ve been drawing and painting a lot, but not blogging much. Will try to remedy that today. So here are some pen drawings with the amazing erasable gel pen in different colours. La la. Need to practice my landscapes. Well, that’s what this is for! Everyone should draw, everyday. But I don’t want to sound […]
