Here are a couple of portraits that I made at our last Dr Sketchy Sheffield event 'Get Your Tatts Out'. They are both on A3 paper - which is why it's taken a while to upload them. One day I will get myself an A3 scanner and not have to cart them off to print shops to get them scanned. I'm pretty chuffed with both. I did them very quickly (they were 15 min poses) with marker pens. I did add some extra cross hatching, to Natalie, at home later. But most of the shading was done with a marker pen that's running out of ink - which is currently one of my favourite tools. No decent pencil case should be without a marker pen that's running out of ink! I've told you before; I ain't a pen snob. Anything goes.

And, the blog title? Well, to those with discerning taste, you'll know that's a Kate Bush lyric. I've just found out that I'll be going to see her in concert in September! Eeeek, eeek and more eeek. I never believed this would happen; a) she'd ever play live again and b) I'd get tickets.
Wow! The fist one, the first one <3 :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you'll get to see Kate Bush! Love these sketch-drawings!
ReplyDeleteLove these portraits! Lucky you, seeing Kate Bush - I worked out the other day I must have seen her just before she became a recluse. I worked at the BBC and snuck out of my office to watch her record some songs for a music programme. Enjoy the concert!
ReplyDeleteI just recently started art journaling and came across your work on Pinterest and it is so awesome to me that you can do that. Love it. Inspiring in a way that I could never do that but that I might be great at what I want to do creatively one day.
