Lord knows I'm not that good a photographer, and I know I'm keeping you waiting for my 'What I did last Year' bit (I am aren't I?.....guys?), and more importantly the beast that now has to be 'World of Noses' (sorry Keith), but I have to let you know what I'm up to at the moment, as I'm really excited about it...
The deservedly acclaimed theatre company Shakespeare At The Tobacco Factory in Bristol are currently rehearsing for their upcoming production of King Lear, and they've very kindly allowed me to sit on on their rehearsals and draw them. Whilst on one hand I asked to do this as a drawing exercise, I am really hoping that I can do something worth giving back, and that maybe I can exhibit some of it.
The pictures here are from my first two days sketching (done last week) - at the current rate I may well reach the dreamed of pinnacle of my artistic career, which is to fill an A2 sketchbook in a week! They said it would never happen..
All this sketching is also feeding into a bit of work I'm doing for their programme... more when it (hopefully!) gets the all clear - I'll post any good sketches in the meantime..

Looks really good, Sam. Good luck with it all.
fab sam ! looking really great.
hey can we do a piece for the blog..send some photos and blurb?
What a great opportunity to draw people - lucky you (and them too of course, to be sketched by you).
Are these sketched with your lovely fountain pen? It is so long since I went out and drew people in public, I'm not sure I would know where to begin on the page now! It is a good habit to form, and so much observation pays off when you sit back at the drawing board to create something.
But I still want to see the noses thing :o)
Eyop! Thanks for all the niceness. I'll put something on Brillumastration tomorrow. And yarp, that is my trusty Parker, with abit of Quink brushyness here and there to make things look less weedy where necessary. S'pose I should get a quill on the go if I'm properly going to get into it...
And yes, noses noted!
The last one of them all sitting around is great.
I am reading these post backwards as well, if you haven't guessed.
Backwards in order that is....!
Do they all want to see what you have drawn, or are they leaving you alone ?
