Illustration Friday - Focused

A really quick Illustration Friday sketch this week, I actually went out trying to find someone who was reading a newspaper or doing a cross word puzzle but when I saw this lady engrossed in her book and the guy behind engrossed in the lady I couldn't resist.

St. John's and St. Cuthbert's finished!

It took all week and a lot of consultation with Bryan and Steve in the print workshop, but they really helped me out and now it's finished. :)

St. John's and St. Cuthberts

OK the new slightly different version (minus colour):
old version:
Thinking of maybe making this into a print... can't decide.

Front Row Seats

Very occasionally I draw people who are not in coffee shops. These are a couple of images from my holiday. The first one has a bit of a funny story behind it, there were actually two ladies sunbathing topless and the reason I never got to draw in the second woman is because a couple of stray dogs got into a fight nearby and the poor ladies were so 'frightened' that they ran and jumped into the laps of the men (literally! their laps!) who were watching them, much to the amusement of everyone around. Of course, these guys could not believe their luck!

Sketchbook

A couple more of my favourite subject matter. :)

Sketchbook

I'm sorry to say I haven't been doing much studio work this term, as you can probably tell by the amount of life drawing I've posted. This is because I've been writing my dissertation, but I handed that in today so hopefully I can now get back to real life! :) Here are some recent sketches.

Life Drawing - Charlotte

I don't know for sure that her name is Charlotte but I thought that's what it was. These were all done in 5 mins or 20 mins.
