Sometimes you just have to doodle, To be free. Drawing n the Artrage app. It’s one of my favourite places t draw digitally, you get various pens and thickesses. You also adjust the metallic effect. I enjoy it.
New paintings and regular art updates.

Trying to do a digital drawing after my cataract op and shaking from Parkinsons. Using Artrage drawing app.
It’s a bit rough but at least I tried.

“fishscales” Artrage app, digital drawing I’ve just completed this using metallic and non metallic pens. I love this app. It feels like a truly free way of using digital methods.

Just doodling, keeping my hands busy. I might find something to paint but I’m going to give up my studio at Spode as I can no longer afford it. I’m sad because it feels like quitting and I don’t want to but you can only do what you can do. I’m going to try and find a cheaper studio. In the meantime I have a lot of art work that I hope I can get sold. It’s time I had a sale. We will see what happens.

I found some new tools on my sketchbook app so I was playing around with them earlier. Not the most successful scribble but I think I understand it better now? I will try and make something more coherent next time I use it.

Simple swirls and spirals
Helical, spring like,
Layered pattern,
A tornado or galaxy
Hurricane or sink outlet?
Spiralling out of control.
An intricate web has been spun.
Whirlpool spins and tugs
Ties you in knots.

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

You’ve got to play
Create curves
Enjoy colour
Contrast warm
and cool
A mixture of spirals
Doodled tones
1970’s vibes
Fun!

A doodle drawn in sketchbook app, there are a lot of pens and brushes on the app, so I chose glowing colours and then a thin magenta pen to draw a profile over the top. Spirals are one of my favourite geometric patterns. It’s just a finger painting.

For as long as I can remember I have drawn eyes. Sometimes I’ve even just painted them. I have always drawn faces, my Mom would ask why I drew nostrils when I was about nine or ten, and I said it was because people had them! I’ve never stopped drawing eyes, but I have a definite way I learnt when I was a child and its hard to get out of the habit, they just don’t look realistic. It’s something to do with the shading of the eyeballs, and the eyelids and flesh around them. Hence doodling to play with my technique and used photodirector to change the texture on the drawings.
