Today’s band of sketchers prompt was unusual angle. So I took a photo and now I have to look up my nose! Pencil crayons and fine liner pen.
Brainstorming
Today I had a workshop on brainstorming. Coming up with ideas based on the word heuristic (first we had to read the definition) turns out it’s to do with finding out about things, collaboration, experimentation, investigation. Do we thought if sherlock Holmes, detecting things, doing research, being nosy. Bugging things, bookworms, learning, library, eyes, investigating the universe….
The doodle? That was drawn last night while I was trying to come up with ideas for an editorial brief… Its not anything to do with today, just something abstract.
My poor stats!
Walking with my friend and with my hubby every day is tiring and by the time I come back and get through college work, then I don’t have as much time to blog here.
I still enjoy blogging, I’m trying to share more art, but perhaps I need to write a few more things? I hope I haven’t disappointed anyone following me. I want to entertain and inform if I can… See you tomorrow!
Zoom choir night
Tonight we were singing sea shanties and other songs, led by Greg and Kate from the Boatband. Our choir is called Clay Chorus, and every week I spend a little time sketching what’s happening. It can be an object in the room or an image on the screen. I really enjoy doing them….
Around
Drawing of the tree roots around the base of a tree at the Croft. Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was around. Boldmere colouring pencils on cartridge paper.
26.3 miles
26.3 miles
That’s how far I walked this week.
It’s not far for some people but it is far to me…I’ve also got my hubby out walking. He’s tired but he’s enjoyed the couple of times he’s been out. Next week I hope to go a little bit further. Maybe by doing a couple of walks a day? We will see… And I almost walked a Marathon this week. X
Face or Crab?
I found this face in these tree roots. Could be a little devil? You never really know what you are going to find until you play with an image. What fun…
Imagined characters
We had to imagine some characters to add to an illustration so I drew these. I’m not sure whether they are OK. I did a large face so it comes forward in the image, a genie that eminates from the gas fire in the illustration and a fairy just taking in the view…
The resulting image is quite strange, with added fix, owl, horse, bug and cat. Then I added some flowers and plants..
Bad photos so I used filters on my phone then Instagram to bring out the colours, I need to find a way of taking pictures without shadows and glare on the page….
Don’t cry…
Don’t cry for those that are gone. They cannot feel your tears. Wherever they are they can’t hear you. Remember them but don’t cry. Cry for the living, cry for those that have lost loved ones, talk to them about their loss. Don’t stay quiet and hope it will be OK. They need your words of solace.
And don’t forget the poor, the ill and the starving. The ones that are always forgotten. Take care of them, support them. Help them where you can. One day you will be gone too, but others will still be here. Then hope they get help too from others. So life supports life. And share love.
Seeing faces
Two eyes
A nose
Offset mouth.
Is that a bearded
Chin?
Red faced
And angry?
Small grill..
Gritted teeth..
Crossed eyes
Too close together
Describing a face
That’s what I see..
