Building Sketch

Unusual building sketch in sketchbook while out in Stratford.

Created with Uni Pin fineliners, Winsor and Newton watercolour marker in Payne’s Grey and Pentel water brush.

Bewdley Arts and Crafts Weekend and Sketching

 

Was selling at the Bewdley Arts and Crafts weekend this weekend right next to the river.

Only managed to have time for one sketch while selling stuff Saturday- this is Bewdley Bridge or part of it anyway.

I definitely want to have sketch day there, it’s quite beautiful in the town and by the river.

Work in Progress

This piece is inspired this makeup video by Natasha/myeyeshadowisodd on Youtube.

I may still change a few things after the initial sketch stage. I’m not sure whether to disjoint the image/anatomy a little more, we shall see.

New Artwork- Work in Progress

 

Work In Progress

I was asked to make a custom Tomb Raider birthday card. This is a rough sketch of the watercolour I’m going include in its design.

Both the recipient of the card and I prefer the earlier game models of Lara so this is based off those.

This will be an artwork in itself and scaled down to fit onto the 5 x 7” card.

Digital Sketching Experimentation

I don’t usually sketch/doodle digitally however I downloaded this pencil Photoshop brush from Andantonius and have been playing around with it a little bit. I love the texture of the brush and it really is lovely to draw with in Photoshop.

I thought it would be quite interesting to experiment with sketching things out digitally, print them onto good quality paper and then finish them with inks.

I decided to create a quick, rough outline sketch of Morrissey just because. I’m not sure if I quite like the overall composition of the image and I probably won’t continue to a finished image with it.

I do want to make an ink piece with Morrissey as the subject though so I may have to try out different poses/ compositions  until I’m happy enough with them to take it to a completed artwork.

Moleskine Page

Just a little inky something in my Moleskine…

Acrylic ink and acrylic paint.

New Moleskine

First page of a new Moleskine, poppies for Remembrance Day here in the UK.

Text reads ‘Lest we forget…’

Acrylic ink and pen.

Sketching and Planning

 

 

A quick sketch/study of some displaced seating in the 1999 Britannia crash. I’m planning to do some artwork based around the interior of the plane after talking to a Uni tutor. We were discussing ways to possibly making it relatable to the general viewer, as not everyone views planes as I do because of my love of the exteriors. Over the next few day I will be doing some prep work for bigger pieces incorporating text and other collage, this will help with finalising a composition.

I’m looking at using the interior apparatus of the plane to relate to the general passenger, I have also started to watch certain ephemera associated with the Britannia 757 on eBay. I’m possibly thinking about displaying diagrams and safety cards along with my artwork on the crash ( and other crashes i decide I want to look into for this semester.)
