Vanity

A few self portraits I did this evening to kill sometime before going out to a gig.

Four More For Fun

Vintage vogue for lunch

A few quick studies.

Sketches done in the idle moments today.

Sunday Scrawling

Some quick felt tip scrawlings on this soggy sunday afternoon.

oh yeah . . .

Forgot that I finally added the finishing touches to this at the beginning of the week.

One from the train

I've done a handful of sketches on the train this week. This is my favourite.

more of the same

More scribbling. Building up steam.

Significant Scribbles

Well I finally did some scribbling this week after a break that was far too long and that was starting to depress me. Nothing great but really good to get pen back to paper and to be thinking about drawing again.

Just scribble

I'm not drawing at all at the moment. These scribbles are about all I have done this month. Not good. Was hoping that after a little break from the drawing board I would just drift back to it . . . Maybe I need more time or maybe a bit of discipline!

Undergrowth

Still mulling this illustration over. This is my third or forth sketch and still a long way from anything I'm happy with but have some ideas so just need to sit down and get them down.

Swing Out

One for fun. I usually find dance illustrations quite hard but I did this one really quickly and had a lot of fun with it. I have a freelance job coming up for a lindy hop illustration and this has got me in the mood to tackle it.

edit - it is so frustrating how a few hours, often less, after finishing something all I can see is the flaws. I like this image. So much I wanna fix though! Such is the path of progress I suppose.

cool and warm

Coffee and pastries

Another thumbnail, done over coffee and pastries. Yum.

On The Beach

I had a break from work and drawing and took some time to relax and refresh this week. I did this sitting on Brighton beach today. Maybe a new Alice picture coming on . . . althought I have quite a lot of other stuff on the boil. Trying not to think about that though and enjoy a fairly idle weekend.

One more . . .

Watercolour Pencil Portrait

I've been meaning to do some colour studies for a while. Finally got it together this lunch time and finished up after work. It's a bit overworked but I like the colour. Strong but not overbearing. Maybe I'll be brave enough soon to use the watercolour sketchbook I was gifted by Paul.

Hopefully this is the start of me pulling out of the rut I've been in. Have a couple of projects on and some freelance work so need to pick up a bit of momentum.
