Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was man-made. What to draw…. Imagined shoes.. Thinking man-made upper….black acrylic wash in my sketchbook, just a vague outline, then finished off with a black ink fine line pen.
Tuesdays prompt
Category: Sketching
Stones
Sundays #bandofsketchers prompt was Stones. I thought of drawing one of the members of the Rolling Stones but decided against it. Since I’m using a new sketchbook and I’ve been painting in acrylics this afternoon I decided to conjure up some stones from my imagination using the colours I’ve been using in the paintings.
World
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was World. This is an alien world, all colours and patterns, drawn in black fine liner pen then shaded in felt pens. Finally digitally filtered with photodirector to give it texture and make it more alien looking.
Hot
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt is hot. dragon is back in my new sketchbook. This one is purple playing ‘hot’ jazz! Ink blotted into the sketchbook then outlined with black fine liner pen and white pencil crayon to add shading.
Red eye
Red velvet coloured eye. Digital doodle, just playing with monochrome colours using one part of the spectrum, a deep red and it’s associated colours with added black and white. I tried to make it look three dimensional to give it a realistic effect. Not bad for a digital finger painting.
Monochrome
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was monochrome. I did a monochrome drawing in black conte crayon of my husband having a nap. When I took a photo it looked brown under my kitchen lights but I used a black and white filter and autocolour to get it looking right. This is the first sketch in a new A5 size sketchbook.
Finally!
Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was colour. I decided to draw a Multi coloured pattern, using the word multicolour then filling in the gaps with more colours. Felt pen drawing, last page in my lovely sketchbook, need a new one!
Drawing of a replica.
Cave painting is amazing. The strength of the lines, the energy. The real feeling of life on the cave walls. A cave replica has been created in France of Chauvet cave. This is to protect the original which has been closed to the public. Human breath can create condensation and will allow mould to grow which damages the ancient pigments. This was Sundays prompt for #bandofsketchers. Just catching up.
Faces?
Yet again I can see faces in this pattern. Like little dogs faces. The pale green patches with black horizontal lines coulsvbe frogs eyes. I got the colours by playing with ‘curves’ on my photo editor on my phone. I like the way the complementary colours of red and green work together. I could see this as a print on a scarf or even a place mat for a coffee cup or a pattern on the actual cup.
Too many colours?
Triangles and squares
Tangled nightmares?
Or coloured patches
Tiles as thatches
Worn and softened
By digital drawing hand
Playing with space
In this doodling race
Rainbow that rhymes
Abstract at times.
