Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was Voyage. I loved drawing galleons when I was a child… I was all at sea with this challenge till I thought of that! Felt pens again…. A galleon ship sailing off along the sunset…

Great minds think alike?
I drew this this morning but hadn’t published it. I was just going through the reader section of WordPress and found someone else had done a very similar image. I did this digitally, playing with a drawing that I had been altering over the last couple of days. The other person’s art is four different female faces, using a totally different technique. It’s so interesting that artists come up with similar ideas from different beginnings. I like her style and work, good to see the creativity here!
Bright face
Smudge and fudge
Please don’t judge?
Abstract face
Drawn with pace
Quick and messy
Like graffiti, breezy…
Oily marking
I might be larking
Around with sprays?
No, finger plays
On screen, I did it all
Digital!
Upside down again
Oh dear, I’m in a whirl again, lack of sleep isn’t helping. Someone was chatting with me today and yet again I found myself crying. When will I ever feel happy again?
It was raining this morning when I went out, so I decided not to wear a coat. Cool, damp, with a breeze, it was good to feel a little more comfortable. When I got home the fan went on, and that’s stirring the air up nicely. I’m going back out later, but for now I just had a nap (I must be getting old). The cat came and poddled away kneading my knees and then fell asleep too.
Shall I dream of life and loss again tonight? I don’t know. Its hard to control things when you sleep, then wake up in a tizz.
By the way the drawing on the right was based on the drawing on the left, just by sketching over it. I decided to turn it upside down to match my confused mood.
Profile with orange
Another quick fingerpainting this time just in sketchbook app. You can vary the pens and brushes, there’s a large selection, but they are almost too numerous to work with. It’s hard sometimes to decide which to use. Thank heavens for the back button so I can delete what I don’t like. This started out as a quick sketch that I was drawing to show a friend how the app worked, but then I decided to finish it tonight.
Faces abstract
Digital playtime again. I used the curved lines drawing as a basis for this. I had fun with textures and patterns. Finger painting in the Artrage app. Then I ran it through the photodirector app on my phone. I’m not sure who the face is x
Wheel photo
Spokes wrapped in coloured foil, to add sparkle when a performer spins and balances it. The spin causes centrifugal force which makes it more stable than a static wheel. That’s why when you cycle the bike tends to stay up. The photo was taken before Raj circus started their act at the White Bear in Middlewich in Cheshire.
Abstract curving lines
Spin and twist
Curve and flip
Abstract line
Shift and dip.
Drawn with energy
Given lives
Negative space
Between the lines.
Twirl around
Like a web
Of neurones linked
Inside my head.
Floating
Floating was today’s #bandofsketchers prompt. I have taken this idea of Canada geese floating on the canal from an abstract painting I did in 2020. I moved the geese around in this and left out the greenery from the original. I used felt pens and a silver pen to give a liquid glint.
Angel sketch
Figures are hard to finger paint, the details are difficult to draw clearly. In this Artrage oils drawing I threw pretty much all the pen tools at it, including watercolour, spray paint, and an eraser pen. I’m not quite certain why it turned into an angel, I think I was just trying to fully fill the page. Again this experiment seems to say freedom is a good thing to try and work to…
