She went four years ago.
One day just gone.
In the blink of an eye
Turn around and lost
I miss her
My sister
I miss her
So much..

Hero
Doing some digital drawing in Artrage. Since there is a new film out about the trojan horse and it was on my mind I decided to try and draw a Greek hero. It’s meant to look metallic, like a bronze bust. It certainly feels illustrationish. Pure imagination. On another thought. I wonder if I draw left handed profiles because I’m right handed (but right handed three quarter faces.?)
Movement
Movement was the prompt and it brought back memories of my childhood. I learnt to draw horses. They are such powerful and beautiful and intelligent creatures. I only occasionally saw them in real life as I lived in a town. But I had the book black beauty, and watched folly foot, a TV series about horses, and was always singing the theme tune to something else “on white horses”, plus champion the Wonder horse and the lone ranger.
It’s no wonder that I loved drawing horses from an early age. When I was a kid at school I used to draw horses over and over again. I even sold some to other kids in my class for sixpence. I loved drawing dappled greys. I was better at it then than now x
Eclipse drawing
Tried to do a sketch of the partial eclipse using Artrage app. It’s using digital pens and tools which replicate things like soft pastels or brush marks.
The image is not based on a real picture, but is more of a doodle. X
Choir sketch
I was at the village hall finding out about what groups were doing there (woodcarving, yoga, slimming world, writers group, theatre, and more) when a flash mob of choir members came in singing the Spice girls song “if you want to be my lover” in a really choral way. All their voices were beautifully integrated. They were called ” In Harmony” and really were.
As they sang I sketched them, I did a biro drawing in my notebook. I could only draw their backs because of where I was sitting. I showed them the drawing and they were very pleased. I’m so glad I have this talent.
Collage
I just found out it has a collaging section where I can upload multiple images then add details like text on the top. This is part way through the process but I’m not sure what else I want to do with it. My cat picture looks like a set of stamps….
More work
I decided to try and improve this painting because it was too reflective and the metallic copper sheet it was painted on was showing through too much. I seem to have worked reasonably well but it took effort to get the acrylic paint to stick onto the surface, but that was the problem on the original picture. Acrylic on a metallic surface.
Perspective
Bandofsketchers prompt perspective. Drawn in Sketchbook app. Digital finger painting, the building is meant to look like a castle keep..
Profile doodle.
Not an image of me but a finger painting of the side of a face. I used both Artrage and Sketchbook apps to do this. It’s a while since I drew something in one app and completed it in the second one. If I like I might use another app to do some more work to it. It’s definitely a finger painting, no stylus used.
Digital face drawing
Artrage drawing using the app and various pen tools to create this image. I used a limited palette to simplify the result. I could have added some red but decided against it. I hope you like the result.
