The day 22 prompt for #30daysketchbookchallenge was hands. I thought I’d play with the idea… I used felt pen and got my old nail polishes out…and because of the prompt yesterday that was back to school, I remembered drawing round my hands….

Prompts
Today’s #30daysketchbookchallenge prompt was back to school so I did this…
Can anyone remember having to do lines? I know I used to write with three pens, but I think I was just playing after seeing the idea in a comic like the Beano or Dandy….
Jewellery
#30daysketchbookchallenge, jewellery. Struggled to draw the tiny beads on this necklace. I was trying to make it look realistic, I’m not sure I did and the photo is a bit blurry.
Used pencils, felt pens and coloured pencils to produce this.
Redo with metallic paints and better photo…
Day five #MendNotTrend
Today’s prompt for day five of #MendNotTrend was calm, do I tried to draw a mandala to meditate to, (not a corona virus!)
Two variations. The top one reminds me of a patterned tile. Drawn in Sketch app. I feel a little bit calmer.
Day 19
#30daysketchbookchallenge. Day 19, standard lamp with pink sparkling lampshade. Plus view of vegitation out of the window. The prompt was lamp and lampshade.
Drawn in marker pens. I went for bright colours. A little A5 sketch.
Going 3d
Today’s challenge on #MendNotTrend (day four) was to create something three dimensional out of string or plastic and perhaps draw it or draw the idea of what it would look like if you didn’t have anything to work with. So I cut a carrier bag in half (down the front, then down the back) leaving it uncut at the bottom. I twisted both sides by the handles to make a plastic ‘rope’. I then looped it through one handle and looped into the loop over and over, finishing at the other handle loop…. See photos. I finally drew the outcome…
Drawing with something different
If you want something difficult to draw with try one of those ink rollers that you can cover over your name and address with.
I decided to see how it would handle. The answer? Hard to manipulate. Difficult to draw thin and curved lines.
Anyway, this is a profile portrait of my hubby.
Penkhull church
I did a quick sketch from a photo I took today. Wish it was drawn from real life but I was walking so I didn’t get the chance to sit and draw….St Thomas’s Church, Penkhull, Stoke-on-Trent. The Wassail starts out from the village hall which I’d just across the road to the right of the church. At the top of Trent Valley Road. #bandofsketchers today’s prompt was religious building..
Digital crocosmia
Digital crocosmia
I like playing with images and these are two versions of a digital drawing using different options in photodirector.
This was my basic sketch in ArtRage oils which I drew over with Sketch app.
It might not be very good but it shows what you could do to make it more interesting….
Crocosmia Lucifer
I’m watching Gardeners World on BBC TV. They arr showing a compilation programme of the best bits from 2020. One section was about the crocosmia plants that you grow in the garden and the fact that their anticedants came from South Africa.
My garden has crocosmia Lucifer growing in it in the late summer, but its several years old now and I think it’s time to get new bulbs so I’ve painted this to remind myself to get some more..
