New paintings and regular art updates.
Another #bandofsketchers prompt was Shoes. Another digital drawing, I then put it through the collage app on my phone to make it a pair not a single shoe. I liked trying to get some reflections into the drawing.
Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was shoes, I drew some of our shoes and sandals, you can see which are my hubbys as I only have small feet. I added the patterned carpet background to jazz it up a bit. Felt pen and fine black ink pen.
Summers over and my sandals must be put away for another year. I will have to get my flat heels out again. I don’t bother to buy pairs of shoes. I bought three sorts of the same type in different colours, and never wore them! It’s strange, some women have tens or hundreds of pairs, and different ones for different occasions, I never got into that. I think it’s because I’ve never had much money. When we had a death in our family when I was a teenager, my mother gave us money to buy a dress and cardigan and shoes to wear to the funeral. I think that’s why I don’t get excited buying clothes or shoes. As long as they aren’t falling apart I keep wearing them….
I wanted to buy some new slippers today but they only came in small medium or large in our local supermarket. We’ll that was strange. Feet come in lots of sizes and not averages. I had socks and shoes on which I didn’t want to take off but I remembered something from reading art books. Your forearm is the same length as your foot! The medium ones were the closest in length to my forearm and seemed to match the length of my shoes so I bought some. On wearing them they are a smidgen too small, but if I had bought the large ones they would have been like boats! Supermarkets? Not good to just sell three sizes!
Shoes under motorcycling news. My sketch for this prompt Under for #bandofsketchers on Tuesday. I was going to draw the cat under a chair I prop my easle on for painting but he moved before I could do it.
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was Shops. I don’t go to the shops very often unless it’s to get grocery shopping. I couldn’t think what to draw so I decided to sketch an imaginary shoe shop. It didn’t help that my black ink liner pen was running out so it’s a bit scratchy. I just used felt pens for colour, but they are starting to run out too.
Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was pair. Here are my new shoes I bought in Rhyl. I tried to draw in patches without an outline. I used felt pens to do the drawing and tried to make an interesting pattern on the carpet.
It’s been a few days since I had a good walk, I haven’t been well. Today its sunny and warm and I’m fed up of feeling trapped in the house. A short walk, a flat walk, a slow walk, but a walk.
A few thousand steps will help me and give me some relaxation….
Bye, I’m off out!
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was outline. I decided to draw my right sandal and left shoe (no I don’t wear them together). Black ink fine line pen. It was good to do a simple drawing for a change.
Not with those soles!
This was a patch of concrete or cement on the pavement next to a telecommunications box. Maybe someone in forensics could date these soles, their size, the weight of the person? The dog print looks like it’s a large dog, big claws on it. And the crack, did that happen because there are tree roots below it? Why stand on this? I wonder if it was deliberate.
