A series of Nakedness

This and the following two are thanks to the two episodes (if you would call it that) of the life classes recently from channel 4. This was the first. It's all a bit scribbly but I hope you can see it's a middle aged man on his back?! Was also experimenting with some new pastel and charcoal pencils that were a present a little while ago. (I was rather afraid of them but I think they're lots of fun now).
Not exactly my favourite. It's the one I had the longest on, so naturally ended up overworking it with far too much colour and blending. Another lesson learned...


Another c4 life drawing. Some bits are all squiffy but i still rather like how it looks overall.

Big Ripe Pineapple



It's a pineapple! Very rushed after work yesterday evening because i was desperate to EAT IT. Did you know that pineapples try to dissolve you when you're eating it? That's why it feels a bit tingly. But i defeated it!! Ahaahahahaha munch munch
The colours in it as it ripened are awesome.

Garden Flowers



Did this quickly in my garden today. I quite like it! I really liked my cow picture yesterday so i thought i would try working in the same style. Its really fun drawing like this!

Scilly Isles (from a description)


This is the part of an image i did yesterday as a birthday present for my dad. I started meaning to do a 'proper' picturte all neat and complete. I don't know why but I really didn't want to do this, didn't feel right!
I really like the way it has come out and the appearence of the colours on the brown paper, which I've never used before.

Mr John


This is donkeys old but im still rather fond of old mr john. Drawn on the day i discovered the magic world of fine liners.

Fenwicks Coat



Tweed coat drawn in Fenwicks on the shop floor with everyone staring. Awesome. The shadings a bit off but i was distracted by nosy middle aged women with too much make up and perfume.
