Life drawing 23rd February

Another week of life drawing. It's almost the end of the term now, so soon it will be a long pause in "live" life drawing unless I get a job so I can pay for sessions outside uni. We had Adrian in this evening, which by now you should know is my favourite model because …

Life drawing 16th February

Sketches from this week's life drawing session. I had a slow start this time and so I don't think I produced that many good drawings until late in the session. I've mentioned before that some days I just struggle to draw for no apparent reason and the solution is usually to keep going for a …

Trollhunters water colour painting finished!

It took me a good week and two attempts at the water colouring part, but it's finally finished! I'm so happy with it and feel I both managed to capture the bright colour scheme of the show as well as replicating it in my own style and not to mention in water colour! I'm still …

Life drawing 9th February

I was looking forward to this life drawing session and I was not disappointed. It was so much fun! The model, Robin, brought a suitcase of props like wigs, glasses and hats and put up a show for us. The fact that he acts for us for up to half a minute before going into …

Water colouring and Trollhunters

Earlier this year I was introduced to the new Netflix series Trollhunters by my friend Selom. He was already obsessed with it and was sure I was going to like it and he was right! I absolutely love it! It's so beautiful, the story is very good, the animation is amazing, but what I love …

Life drawing 2nd February

I had a really good life drawing session yesterday. Tried holding the pencil in a different way to see what effect it would give and although it messed up my hand a bit. I guess my muscles were quite confused with what I was doing, so it hurt a bit in the beginning until I …

Life drawing 26th January

First time this year that my favourite model was in and thankfully I had one of those days were I felt my drawing were quite good. Which is great cause drawing Adrian on a day were I'm just not feeling like is so frustrating! Since I'm starting to get a better sense of faces now …

Life drawing 19th January

It's a bit late, but here is the drawings from life drawing two weeks back. It's not that many as me, Natalie and Krisi met up with Steph at 8pm. Which was really really nice by the way, we hadn't spent time together all of us since we all worked in the studio together, so …

Life drawing from 12th Januray

First life drawing session of this year. Had a fairly good evening, not to rusty from the month long vacation. I got some new markers for Christmas and brought these to see how they worked, some of them turned out very nice to sketch with or to add shadows. I might get some more light …
