Drawing of white on black digitally then mirrored it and added a mozaic over part of it. Just playing. Using different ideas and styles. I never keep to one thing…

Sculpture
Lit by led lights, this sculpture at Keele University is striking. Spires of reflective steel radiate outwards. Each line of them diminishes in size as them move outwards. It seems energetic, yet constrained. Like a frozen fountain. At the centre is a low metal plinth or seat. I wanted to walk into the centre of it and sit or stand on it. But thought it might be too fragile. A peaceful place to contemplate the universe perhaps?
Abstract two
#band of sketchers today, again. This time with colour. Van Gogh meets Picasso (ish).
Abstract
Abstract cat for today’s #bandofsketchers prompt, but I might colour this doodle in. I liked the idea of doodling a familiar thing with added pattern.
Saturn
Space, hard to draw stars, so I drew Saturn instead. Then I filtered it through photodirector. Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt.
Black fine line ink pen.
Two pens
Holding two pens
I draw a face.
Hard to control,
The pens wobble
Tighter grip now
Try again…
The face emerges
The offset pens
Give it a blurred look.
An ancient roman
Apparently appears.
Sundays drawing
Sundays #bandofsketchers prompt was sleeping. I drew my hubby asleep late at night. He had fallen asleep in front of the TV.
Black fine line ink pen on cartridge paper.
Arrows or tall beach huts?
I like using post it notes and I saw these arrow shaped ones in the supermarket. I am going to use them in a project for my illustration course. It’s based on homelessness and I’m trying to show time going backwards to when people were safe and happy. I did see them as beach huts, but that doesn’t fit with what I’m using them for.
Every year thousands of people lose their homes for various reasons. They coukd be causing trouble. Or they might not be able to afford their rent, or have lost their jobs, been bereaved, had benefits cut or have mental health problems.
There are so many reasons for homelessness and I think it needs explanation. To many times homeless people are seen as causing their own problems instead of not always being responsible for them.
Clouds
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was clouds. I went for a short walk this evening and saw a nice sunset so decided to draw it. This was done with felt pens. I didn’t have the right colours for it, so it’s more purple than the real colour.
I just found this draft, so I decided to publish it.
Cat pattern
Cat drawn with a biro. Then I altered it in photodirector, and then added colours with a flood fill and a digital pen. I like building different layers. It’s fun being creative.
