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 chose a recent photo of myself as I wanted more practice doing hair compared toContinue reading “Third Portrait”
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”
Human Skull and Rose
For some time, I have wanted to draw the human skull as I have seen so many drawn in many different styles. I like to think that my particular style is black and grey realism, and whilst I’m still at the early stages of my drawing career, I like to think that in the tenContinue reading “Human Skull and Rose”
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”
Tattoo Design
After a couple of people suggested that I could be a tattoo artist from seeing my drawings, and because this is something that I am unable to do due to having uncontrolled epilepsy, I decided that I would start designing tattoos instead. Since I had just completed a rose drawing, and I have a coupleContinue reading “Tattoo Design”
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”
Rose
Roses have always been my favourite flower; I like them so much that I have two large tattoos on my left arm: The above tattoo took about six hours and was completed in one day with a few breaks. My next rose tattoo I had done in February 2019: This tattoo took slightly longer andContinue reading “Rose”
Elephant #2
I used the previous drawing of the elephant head that I drew on my iPad as a preparatory drawing for this piece of work. I wanted to do a full composition of an elephant and complete it in colour and whilst I completed the drawing, I decided to take photos of the stages of completionContinue reading “Elephant #2”
Elephant #1
I decided to have another go at drawing on my iPad using the Linea Sketch app, and this time, I decided to draw an elephant. I thought I would try and draw just the head, and if it turned out ok, I could use this as a practice run for drawing the whole elephant. ThisContinue reading “Elephant #1”
