new Train Girls

some more traingirls. I should have something quite different up soon.

 

 

the whole set remains on Flickr

Train girls

One of my favourite things to do is draw people (well, okay, girls) sitting next to me on the train. I’ve drawn quite a few of them:

a sketch.

 

an inkwash sketch I did to test out Fabriano paper. not as good as Schoellershammer, but good nonetheless. a bit more tooth, and way more feathery. but it’s still very useable, and it has a nice texture. my favourite sketchbook, Fabriano’s Venezia, also has this paper. It’s great for inkwashing on the go.

Bloggermajingythingy 2.0

Rebirth! Yep, a switch from LJ. the community seems to be slowly dying (even Brandon Graham is switching over), and I’ve been wanting to go for something a bit more swanky for a while now. let’s see how this goes… the importing of my old pages was very easy to do anyway, so there’s that.

Here’s some artwork I should have posted earlier.

A girl I drew during a train journey. I do lots of those, you can see more on my Flickr page. This one was done in a truly fantastic Venezia sketchbook by Fabriano. Pen used is a Pitt Artist Pen with a Superfine point.

A girl I drew while getting reacquainted with Schoellershammer paper and my 111EF Leonardt nibs.

Dr. Sketchy’s Amsterdam 26-6-2010

I found out last week that Molly Crabapple, the inventor of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School was going to be in Amsterdam this saturday for a signing and mini Dr.Sketchy’s sesion. So I signed up, and yesterday I had a great time drawing from a live model. here’s a badly done collage of some of the sketches I did (click on it to go bigger, click on that to go huge!):

Hospitals, Moomins and other stuff…

I’m going to use the Brandon Graham way of posting from now: not that often, but when I post, it’ll be all sorts of stuff…

Initials BB

I’ve been on a huge Gainsbourg kick lately (both Serge and Charlotte, whose IRM record with Beck is tremendous) and when Initials BB came on the CD player in the car today, I knew I had to draw Bardot as a tribute.
