With most of my drawings being completed in black and grey, I decided that I wanted to use colour pencils so that it would provide a different finish to my projects. I carried out a lot of research when it came to deciding the brand of pencils that I wanted to use. After much deliberation,Continue reading “New Forest Pony”

Werewolf
When I’m drawing, I like to vary my topic, so that I can practice drawing different subjects. If I am in between working on projects for other people, I like to draw pictures for my family. This next piece was at the request of my husband, who is a huge fan of the film “AmericanContinue reading “Werewolf”
Football
My son is a huge fan of Manchester City, so he asked me to draw a picture of his favourite footballer; Sergio Aguero. After searching the internet for a decent reference photo, I began preparing the page on my sketchbook using the grid technique. After carefully sketching the outline, I began shading. The whole processContinue reading “Football”
Third Portrait
After the last portrait, I decided that I wanted to attempt another one; this time I wanted to have another go at doing another self-portrait as I was feeling more confident in my abilities compared to the last time.

I was sentContinue reading “Green Lady”

It was thirty-one years later, when I picked up a pencil again, and decided to draw regularly again. Five months intoContinue reading “Portraits”
Holding Hands
This piece of art was one that I finished on the 25th October last year. I’d been thinking about drawing another part of the human anatomy, and this time decided that I wanted to feature hands as I think, depending on the pose, it can evoke a lot of feeling and emotion. I wanted toContinue reading “Holding Hands”
Golden Eagle
It’s been a few months since I last shared a picture on this blog. Whilst I have continued to draw, I’ve not found the time to write a blog due to working on my degree, as well as carrying out genealogy research for my genealogy business. I was given the idea to draw an eagleContinue reading “Golden Eagle”
Anatomical Human Heart
I’ve always been fascinated by the human anatomy, and to coincide with my passion for drawing, I decided to draw the human heart. I carefully researched different images of the heart and then settled on an image that I wanted to draw. The next step was to sketch the image, which I did by usingContinue reading “Anatomical Human Heart”
