Contoured
When the ink bleeds through the back of a sketch you can draw contours around the splodges of ink. I think the negative space it creates is quite interesting. You can vaguely tell its a still life (with Christmas cactus and flowers in a fish shaped glass bottle. The original felt pen drawing (sharpies) is about three years old.
Tempus Fugit…
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was time. This is based on an idea that I first came up with on my MA. Time flies. I had lots of ideas including a bird, a butterfly and a dragonfly. This is some sort of magical, time travelling bird clock. I don’t think it’s a parrot and it’s very round!
Auroral display
I’ve always wanted to see the Aurora Borealis and last night and tonight might have been the chance. But two things are against it. I live too far south and its cloudy. The reason why it might have been visible is because there is a large area of sunspots that had come into view around the edge of the Sun. It has strong magnetic North and South currents which increases the chance and strength of Coronal Mass Ejections and Solar flares. These could be directed Earth-wards and spark Aurora in both the North (Aurora Borealis) and South (Aurora Australis).
I’d like to see the nothern lights one day. It’s on my bucket list. More information can be found at Spaceweather.com.
Knit
Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was knit.. I hadn’t got a clue what to do so I drew random pattern as if it was cable knit jumper in an abstract pattern. The colours are off because I took this photo in the kitchen and the lighting has a yellow cast. I only drw it today as I didn’t feel like doing it before.
Night
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was night. I decided to draw a moon in the sky at night, but because I don’t have any black felt pens that work (dried up), it became a crepuscular moon, emerging from the darkening gloom of early night.
Town
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was town. Well, as I haven’t been out much I decided to imagine a town scape. It’s on a river and is hilly, so the main buildings are on a high street backing on to the river and the smaller buildings and houses are on the sides of the tree lined hills. Fine line pen with felt pen drawing over the top.
Meditation
Taking my mind off things. I drew a series of spirals then filled them in with different colours usin metallic and non metallic felt pens. Using the colours in sector’s around the spirals in contrasting colours. It took me an hour, and gave me some relief to how I’m feeling.
Private
#bandofsketchers prompt today is Private, with feelings of sadness. I want to just hide myself away, but there is a chink of light as I peep through the curtains. I will gradually try and get out again, but for now, I want the curtains closed.
Churn
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was Rustic. What to draw for this? I looked up milk churn and tractor tyre on the Internet. I have drawn a churn based on one of the images, but not a direct copy and a part of a tractor wheel from another picture. The vegetation is imagined. Felt pen drawing.
