Life, death and everything in between
I love autumn. It is my favourite time of year, with the myriad of colours, fresh breeze and crunching of leaves underfoot. It is a time of change. And a lot of things always seem to change at this time of year, not just in nature but in life as well. With people …
Practice limbs and head – Dragon
I want to sketch a dragon, one that is earthy and solid. I have an idea in my head, I can picture the scene. I just need to practice a lot before I do it. So I’ve practiced doing a few limbs. I find feet (just like the human ones) very hard to get right. …
Drawing with graphite pencils
This is the first time I’ve used graphite pencils. It smudges a lot but is quite nice to use. And, as expected, it’s all over my hands, face and everywhere in between. Was fun though 😊😊
Painting – Dragon mountain
I was in the mood to paint yesterday. It was so nice outside in the sun…bliss 😆 I took a few close up photos while I was painting as I love the detail of brushstrokes and layers of paint. Hope you like it. Here is the finished painting: Copyright © 200615 by …
Japanese Dragon – Graphics Tablet
I haven’t been able to concentrate today and, as you know, the best remedy for that (for me, at least), is to draw. I love dragons and, for some reason they really have been stuck in my head lately. I think it’s because one of my characters in my novel is a dragon and he …
Step off, dream
Last night I was bombarded with a whole host of weird dreams. They weren’t nightmares, per say. Nor were they those surreal-what-the-hell-is-happening, am-I-going-to-die type dreams. They were unsettling and strange. And they woke me up – several times. The first one I don’t even remember now but it woke me up enough to make me …
Landscape drawing on graphics tablet
I did this landscape drawing on my graphics tablet. Yes, it’s dark. Yes, that is how I felt this morning. It’s not by any means amazing but I think it turned out okay 🙂 I wrote a poem last night (something that was triggered by the story I am writing so not my own emotions …
Drawing – woman side profile
So, I should have been writing this morning but I think I may have overtaxed myself yesterday and so the moment I started, I screeched to a halt. As anyone who has read my past posts would know, I draw to relax. I usually draw if I’m stressed or tired or, as in this case, …
Sometimes
I thought it’s been so long since I posted anything that people are going to start wondering what happened to me. Truth is so much is happening right now that I simply don’t have the energy or enthusiasm to post anything of real significance right now. And I hate posting things just for the sake …
