Last night
I drew a pattern
Gave it a twist
Tied it down
Into quarters
Now I see
Rabbits or hares
With red eyes
Staring at me
Bright eyes
Burning like?
Rubies!

Tag: Felt pens
Pointed
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was pointed. I didn’t really know what to do. Not feeling too inspired, I’m ill, so just drew a cone shape with a point on it and a darker shadow then added pen, pencil and paintbrushes with points. I suppose I could have drawn the Shard in London or something like that.
Shallow
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was shallow. Since I don’t own a swimming pool I decided to draw the sausages I was shallow frying for tea. Couldn’t draw for long because I was trying not to burn them! So it’s a five minute sketch in felt pens
Deep
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was deep. I drew a picture of a cats eye in black fine liner pen and felt pens. My cats are all black and white but I drew a tabby because there was more definition around the eye. This took about ten minutes.
Window
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was window. I decided to do a quick sketch of the hanging baskets and plants in the back yard with the lampshade and plant inside in silhouette. My black felt pens are running out so I had to layer them up with brown, blue and purple .
Interior
I didn’t know what to draw for Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt but I’m watching climbing on TV so I drew the TV and its surroundings. Very quick sketch, five minutes in felt pens. Just used a bit of colour on the screen.
Skyline
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was skyline. I’ve been trying to see the perseid meteor shower that is currently happening but the moon has been too bright and has drowned things out with its light. I was hoping to see something because it’s been warm enough to stand outside late at night.. Felt pen drawing filtered in Photodirector.
Curves
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was curves. I drew random curves with a few felt pans taped together. Then I used Masking tape to block out lines. Finally I coloured in the uncovered paper, then removed the Masking tape and coloured the rest I’m slightly differently. I left the pad on the floor after taking a photo and the cat who had wet paws from sitting in the water that had spilled out of the hanging basket came snd sat on it and smudged it badly. So I added more colours to define the patterns again. That’s why there are two photos.
Straight
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt is ‘straight’. The cat went straight up the tree! It was going to be a straight road but when I started drawing I changed my mind. Felt pens white pencil crayon and black ink fine line pen.
Abstract ‘scales’
Watercolour and felt pen ‘scales’ digitally manipulated to create a jazzy pattern. To dazzle and bemuse? What kind of creature could stand next to this and be hidden? A chameleon dragon of course? Can you see him? No? Didn’t think so! He’s magic!
