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”
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”
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.

Since getting back into drawing, I always like to ensure that I have a drawing project on the go. I generally have a busy day working my day job for a university library, and in the evenings, I’m carrying out genealogy research for clients for my business, as well as studying for my undergraduate degree.Continue reading “New Project”
Yoda
Having already completed a Stormtrooper helmet, I wanted to attempt another character from Star Wars. As my husband is a huge fan, I decided to let him choose who and what I would draw next, and he chose Yoda. We looked at a couple of images and he went with one where Yoda was lookingContinue reading “Yoda”
New Art Equipment
As I am still relatively new to drawing, (I began about five weeks ago), I still need to build up my drawing materials and sketch books. I bought myself a Derwent Precision mechanical HB pencil a week or so ago to see what it’s like to sketch with. I really enjoy the grip compared toContinue reading “New Art Equipment”
New Project
As soon as I complete a project, I like to try and start a new one straight away, and by being able to draw in the evenings, it helps me to wind down and relax before I go to bed. At the moment, I’m working from home due to the coronavirus, so I’m in myContinue reading “New Project”
