103 – Raphael (acrylics test)

Following my latest attempt at Raph in watercolour, I wanted to experiment with acrylics to give a much darker, richer result. Yeah, acrylics it is.

102 – Mizzle’s family portrait

Now available as an art print! > This is the first time where Mizzle’s family is shown; it took ages to develop and get right, so I’m thrilled that it’s complete! If you like my Mizzle comic, she has her own website now (and tumblr, […]

#101 – Dave 3

Watercolour & ink, 35 minute pose I was’t going to post this one, as I’m in two minds about it. This was the third and final piece in the session with the model Dave. As I wasn’t getting on with the style I’ve been previously […]

#100 – Dave 2

Watercolor & ink, 30 minute pose. I wanted to focus on his face and hands, his bushy beard and his awesome retro watch! So here I tried one last attempt painting Dave with the watercolour & ink technique I’ve been working on recently, except with […]

#99 – Dave 1 (Man on Chair)

Watercolor & ink, 30 minute pose. Thought I’d try my hand at the same illustration style as in Lisa 7 last week, but French boudoir style just didn’t fit Dave. It’s funny innit, how you think you have a style down and then when you […]

#98 – Big Raph

I’ve been sketching turtles again. Thought I’d try them in my newly acquired watercolour and ink technique, but I think I’ll leave it at this one of Raph. At first the style was too delicate for the subject matter, so I added more line work. […]

#97 – Lisa 7

This piece available as a limited edition print > 45 minute pose, watercolour & ink…following the same style as in Lisa 6 (but with less facial fudge-ups). One person in the group commented that this has a French quality to it, which I found amusing […]

#96 – Lisa 6 (the ink ran away)

30 minute pose, watercolour and ink. You can now see a better scan of this on my website > I had a bit of a breakthrough in this session; pulling in some inspiration both from the illustrative work I’ve been doing of late, and the […]

#95 – Lisa 5

10 and 20 minute poses, watercolour and ink. We’d not had the pleasure of drawing Lisa in a while, in fact the last time it was when I first used watercolour. And I think I got Lisa’s name wrong then — if you’re reading this, […]

#94 – Mizzledala

I love Mizzle. I love mandalas. This is all handdone in ink; the original isn’t cropped. Now available as an art print, on my shop >

#93 – I heart U

One for my husband who does a pretty good job of putting up with me.

#92 – Leslie 5

Monochromatic again, although here I thought I would give the sumi-e brush (that my mum recently gave me) a try. I like the brush! I only decided to use it halfway through, and so hence why it’s not really sumi-e (there’s other brushes being used, […]
