Sketchy blonde

When I get bored I doodle.

Usually faces either in profile or three quarter positions. But I’ve noticed they usually face left, and I thinks that because I’m right handed. I also draw cats and horses facing left too.

I think its because I’m right handed. I usually draw the edge of the face first, then the eyes and the mouth, and hair and the ear. If you draw across the page you can see what you have drawn without your hand getting in the way. I spoke to someone who is left handed and she draws faces facing right. I haven’t done any research but it would be interesting to find it hw prevalent this is….?

Digital art memory from 2 October 2016. I have no memory of how I did this. I think I used a free app called Artrage oils. And I must have used the old layout app, but I don’t know how I achieved the different colours. Anyway it’s definitely a piece of my digital art. 7 years ago.

Picassoish pyjamas

Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was pyjamas. I’m watching a programme about Picasso and I drew a digital image channelling one of his female portraits. Then I decided to collage it and see if I could make it look like a print for pyjamas. Artrage, incollage and Sketchbook apps used.

What could you do more of?

I have been ill and down for a while and I need to start feeling better and reclaim doing some real art. Yes I can work on my small phone screen and create small pieces of digital art, and yes, over the years I have done a lot. But I begin to need to paint again. It must be a good sign? I’ve got to stop being frightened of creating, fear of failure is holding me back. Will I ever get through being blocked? At least now I can admit I want to.

Sketchbook app using the watercolour pen options to create a flowing, wet in wet effect. It’s a portrait of my hubby, watching TV on a quiet Sunday afternoon. I’m so pleased I found my stylus (I had to glue it back together) it’s much more controlled than simple finger painting.

I am

I am a coffee cup

Drawn in photoshop

I was my owners friend

Until I got broke

My owner dropped me

And as I fell

I hit my limb on the floor

I had no handle any more

Our friendship has lasted though

Now I sit proud

I have a Christmas cactus to hold

On my gentle grey inside.

Recline 1999

My first ever digital drawing using a mouse. I did it in 1999. I actually got it in my local open art exhibition. I guess it was unusual at the time although it is rather rough and ready. I found it on my Facebook memories. It isn’t as bright as the original. I’m not sure what happened to it.

Hidden faces

My mind is full of ideas balled up like elastic bands wrapped together. They are bouncing all over the place. The feeling of faces watching me as I struggle through them. A crowd of amorphous figures that slide in and out of focus.

How to describe where I went to create this digital sketch. Pushing the boundaries a little more. It is also about how I am feeling tonight

Am I being too verbose? I’m experimenting with how to describe things, trying to be more thoughtful instead of simply explaining. It’s interesting to try and change how I think. Making the words more poetic. But trying to make sense too….

Shed

Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was shed. Our shed is painted grey and stuck in a corner covered in ivy and privet and Russian vine. It’s crammed with ‘stuff’ and needs decluttering. We have flower pots by the door.it’s another digital drawing, this time done in my sketchbook app.

Complementary

Blue and orange are complementary colours. I thought I would use them to shade this drawing of a profile and straight on face. I like the way the two faces almost merge into one. This is a theme that appears quite frequently in art. It’s also something the band ABBA used when singing! They were not using these colours.
