Yesterday’s #bandofsketchers prompt was inside my head. I drew a complicated pattern, I think I have a whirlwind in my mind! Felt pens and fine line ink pen. A bit like a chrysanthemum opening up.
New paintings and regular art updates.

Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was cheap, so I did a sketch in felt pens of my hand and added cheap, cracking, nail polish. I added a digital filter to add to the effect.


#bandofsketchers prompt yesterday was hero’s and heroines. This is Heroine in PPE. From an image on the Internet. They are real hero’s of the awful pandemic. Hopefully no one will need their help now. X

A drawing of Sunflowers from a photo of a Summer thunderstorm in North Dakota, by Thomas Kee (used with his permission). I’m using felt pens and building up the colours light to dark.

Laughter is watching my cat chasing the belt to my dressing gown. One side has lost its belt loop so it drags along the floor and…Pounce! So funny watching her bounce around! Todays #bandofsketchers prompt. Black fine line pen and felt pens.

Fenton Cenotaph. Fallen soldier, from the 1914-1918 first world War. I was out with Stoke Urban sketchers today. We were outside Fenton Town Hall. A very cold wind was blowing so I just did a small sketch. I chose to use pale blue and yellow because of what is happening in Ukraine. The news continues to be terrible. The Russians had offered a ceasefire and escape corridor for civilians to get out of Mariapol but they haven’t stopped shelling the city.

Since todays prompt is beautiful I decided to draw a beautiful view of the Ukraine. So sad about what is happening. Felt pen drawing, #bandofsketchers. I love the mist coming down over the hills obscuring the pine trees.

Beach, #bandofsketchers. Today’s prompt. Felt pens. I also did digital variations. I might put them on another post. Trying for a 1930’s art deco vibe.

Still coming up with ideas for dragons for my final college piece. I’m working on ideas for their morphology. This has the head of the bull, wings of a bat and body of a Boa constrictor. Felt pens and fine line pen…

Sitting waiting for my hubby while he was at an appointment. All the angles and layers made it an interesting view to draw. I got bored with looking at my phone and listening to ‘easy listening’ radio. I added colour when I got home. I also tried to draw a garden chair that was in the courtyard and looked a bit chunky.
