So obviously I thought I’d drive myself mad trying to be Picasso for this rough (normally I’m trying to be Van Gogh so at least it was a different variety of frustration) the light and love generated is mutual in my version though. Wouldn’t it be lovely to be Picasso eh?!

I was totally blown away by how Picasso uses light in this drawing to show the adoration from the woman, the light is coming from within her, shining onto an unaware (and rather undeserving imo) man.

The Arrival by Shaun Tan is really interesting as it is wordless, but uses invented text to help express the experience of someone arriving in a new country.

There’s just something special about glimpsing inside a sketchbook isn’t there.

I do love drawing a tree, only a little tiny bit less than I love drawing a hedge.

I do love drawing houses… they’re characters in themselves and also I like to imagine who the characters inside might be.

Definitely. I always like to know where my characters live.

I think so long as it’s not a starter pack titled β€˜awful smelly meanies’ it’s fine?

Seeing as so many people seem to like these, it would be rude not to let you know you can buy a house portrait by me here :-)

I’m sure yours are wonderful. In these I’m working through an obsession with how surface (flat tonal shapes) and line interact… trying in my sketchbook to tonally solve my problems with colour - which in my drawings is always the surface interacting with my dip pen line… forever a work in progress.
