Random bit of set painting I did for the Molly Leigh project at BArts at the weekend, a type of sketch? I put it in for the #bandofsketchers prompt as it’s very random…. Acrylic on cardboard

Digital play
I’m looking a bit glum. I’m tired and got a headache. I know I’ve been overdoing things which is why I haven’t posted much here.
This was taken from a selfie, I tried giving myself a cartoon face but it looked bad so then I played with adding texture in photodirector. I layered another version of the selfie on top. Then I added more using Instagram tools. I’m smiling inside!
Mouth
My friend did a river mouth image for this prompt. It gave me an idea, so instead of drawing a mouth with teeth I decided to draw the mouth of a volcano starting to erupt. For #bandofsketchers prompt. ‘mouth’, digital drawing.
Seabiscuit
Watching the film Seabiscuit on the TV. I decided to try and draw a horse so I used Artrage to draw it, then I edited it in Instagram and also Photodirector apps. It’s a bit smudgy and indistinct but I quite like it. I drew the mane blowing in the wide and it’s tail up in the air. Brown with a white blaze on his nose. Digital drawing.
Sunlight over bluebells, a year ago
An innocent day, a year ago. We were out at a Rode Hall, walking through the bluebell woods. No sign of the troubles ahead.
I wish I could hold the hand I held for 43 years, so firm and strong, walking into sunlight with you. Taking each step carefully along the path. You leading the way, supporting me.
I heard the birds singing and felt a gentle breeze that shook the bluebell heads. Nodding in the dappled shade. All ready for some fairy parade when we were gone.
I drew this later from a photo, I wish I could go back in time.
Identifit?
Trying to line up the features I have been drawing recently. Looks like an identifit photo! The nose and mouth were a bit big so I had to shrink them down, I used my incollage app on my phone to line the images up.
Eyes prompt
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was eyes. Well I had a go, digital drawing with a stylus. Eyes drawn on my Artrage app. I’m shaking a bit much to get a neat image. I used various pen and smudge tools to get a softer image but I want to try and do some real painting and drawing soon if I can overcome my shaking.
Pattern prompt
For #bandofsketchers prompt pattern, I was playing with a previous digital drawing. I altered it in my Sketchbook app on my phone to add more symmetrical patterns and lines, then I adjusted it in photodirector.
Pink
#bandofsketchers prompt was pink, Following on from my nose drawing, here’s some pink lips x not brilliant, maybe I should have drawn flowers. I’ve tried to be accurate but I think I’ve created a trout pout! Anyway it’s drawn in the Artrage app on my phone.
Irritating
I just posted this doodle on Instagram. About 1 out of every 3 posts on my Instagram are now adverts or sponsored. Understand INSTAGRAM, I will never buy anything from these adverts, it’s a waste of my time and their time. I hide the ads when I see them, they are IRRELEVANT. I don’t buy things online, I hate adverts, I am bored by them, but I’m also not going to pay a premium not to view them.
