#72-75 – Christina (life drawing)
Not a piece towards my 1000 drawings, but I warmed up with the blind drawing technique where you don’t look at the paper at all. Highly recommended, if you haven’t tried it, and great fun. #72 – Christina 9 Ok here we go, a 20 […]
#70 – Mizzle 4: “Sigh”
Mizzle has been a busy girl, and now has her own blog! I’ll still be posting these on here as well as they are part of my art challenge (plus the other blog is on Blogspot).
#68-69 – Steve (life drawing)
#68 – Steve 3 Ok technically this is 2 paintings but I wanted to try getting two on one page, to practice as I’ll be continuing this effect next week with my previous painting of Christina). Plan tonight was to: A. Find an area to […]

#56 – Introducing Mizzle
Meet Mizzle, she’s my new friend whom I’ve been spending so much time with recently, and whom you’ll probably be seeing more of in future. I figured before I venture into a 4-issue comic or graphic novel, I should practice panels, pace and those sorts […]
#55 – Daphné (portrait)
It’s official. I hate making portraits. This was the third (and last) in this series of poorly represented nieces. I’d drawn it a month back but had nearly binned it in frustration of it looking too mechanical. But Daphné liked it so I carried on, […]
