Gamers!

Prompted to post this one having seen a post on Lining a Drawer of someone playing the DS. People playing computer games are the best models as they invariably don't move and keep the same expression for huge periods of time! Here's some sketches I did of a couple of my mates, who I don't think would have held any kind of pose for me had they not been doing pretty well on Silent Hill...

On the buses part 4

Erm, a bloke chewing gum...
Really wanted to capture the weather systems being charted by his hair but don't think I quite pulled it off..

On the buses Part 2

This was a guy in the coach next to mine waiting to leave Victoria Coach Station.

On the buses Part1

Went on a trip to Eastbourne recently, and spent a fair amount of time either on National Express buses or waiting for them. I did quite a few scribbles along the way, and as a cunning way of looking like I do a sketch a day, I thought I'd spread them out over a few days. Let me know if you get bored!

At Victoria.

Not the pics I planned to show but as is often the case I can't find the right sketchbook. Absentmindedness is a curse! Any way these are two guys I started drawing at a recent lifedrawing class (it's good to draw peeps drawing as they don't move much - ditto my series of 'People playing Playstation', to follow..) Ta ta..

Jesse's sketchbooks

This week oi av been using mostly.. Moleskine sketchbooks! They are great but you can always see what you drew on the last page through the one you're drawing. Sometimes it works alright mind.......
I'm very into doing quick journalistic drawings at the moment - these ones are of the house band from the other night - more stuff to follow...

More Drawing club....

Hello again! Went to Mr Wolfs for the live drawing thingy with Drawing Club t'other day, doing a big collaborative drawing on a big paper covered wall, which wasn't half as scary as i'd imagined! Having spent a lot of the year at the lightbox tracing faint pencil lines to be 'just so' it was great to have a marker shoved in my hand and told to draw something. In fact I may have got a bit carried away - apologies to anyone who got caught in the path of my flailing arms...

Bristol Drawing club

Hello peeps, and sorry again for being away soo long. Here's a pic i did at last week's Bristol Drawing Club meet at the Full Moon in Stokes Croft (done upside down - sketchbook not me - from a mag cover that was also upside down.......pretty arty eh). Never been to the Drawing Club before, but thoroughly enjoyed drawing, drinking and chatting with nice folks so will go again. I will try not to pose for any more photos mind. Captions on a postcard to........

You can see more of the scribbles done on the night on their blog http://bristoldrawingclub.blogspot.com/

Life drawing disasters

I've recently started going to lifedrawing sessions again which has been great. I've been mostly drawing really quick 5 min sketches (I'm a bit of a tightwad, and I get more sketches for my money that way!) and the results have generally been alright. I say generally........
