Despite trying something new by crafting and actually creating things that can be sold. I can't stay away from paper and pens. I have been sketching and stashing bits of ideas more than ever recently. The place is crammed with scraps of paper. I'm sure they are going to make some sort of channel 4 documentary about it :os
I have just got back from Essex where I have been looking after my brother's lovely dog and only took a sketch book - mostly because of Lily's ever increasing wardrobe and toy collection. This led to some observation drawings. I did landscapes, but they have always been a bit frustrating for me, so I drew my favourite subject Lily seen above.
I then decided I would attempt a self portrait something I haven't attempted since 2006. It was a bit of an eye opener. I have changed loads, quite apart from the lines and dark circles under the eyes my face is thinner, my eyelids heavier, my nose much straighter. I haven't looked at myself for ages. My eyebrows just about looked ready to crawl away :os
My eyes are a bit big in this one.It has got so hard to draw a faithful picture.
This is me looking a little bit worried by the whole experience :os I'll just stick to drawing Lily next time.
