Day 14, 100 Day Challenge
bit of a different one for me not sure I really like the style of this but only had a few minutes to do a quick sketch yesterday. Looking at this now its finished I’m not sure if this really fits into my 100 day challenge as my plan was to stick with the simple line drawings with coloured panels so probably a bit of … Continue reading Day 14, 100 Day Challenge
Day 12, 100 Day Challenge
Back to a more simplified style of drawing this one started out ok but I messed up the mouth and the final sketch is a bit dreary Continue reading Day 12, 100 Day Challenge
Daily Doodle
Something completely different from my 100 day challenge. I treated myself to a tin of charcoal which I picked up on a recent visit to the Tate (I finally got in to see the Van Gogh exhibition). I tried to buy this in Cass Art but they were out of stock and then completely forgot to order some so was really pleased when I spotted … Continue reading Daily Doodle
Day 10, 100 Day Challenge
an old man this time. Really not great drawing men and if I’m honest I don’t enjoy it as much, I’ll try a few more but I have a feeling my 100 sketches are going to be heavily biased to women. Continue reading Day 10, 100 Day Challenge
Day 9, 100 Day Challenge

Summery Pattern
I thought I’d try creating another pattern design. If nothing else its a cheery header for my Facebook page Continue reading Summery Pattern
Day 7, 100 Day Challenge
Day 7 needed some inspiration which is a bit worrying this early on in the challenge, so I checked out the 100 heads in 10 days challenge on Pinterest and found some stimulus. So as its the end of week 1 here’s my favourite mini sketches from the first week Continue reading Day 7, 100 Day Challenge
Day 6, 100 Day Challenge
Day 6 and one I’m not too happy with, I should have kept this drawing simpler as it feels like it sits between a character illustration and a line portrait and doesn’t really work as either Continue reading Day 6, 100 Day Challenge
Chocoholic
I sketched this when Simon was up in Newcastle and I was home alone. I was looking round the house for something to draw and found his stash of chocolate so thought I’d capture an image of one of the bars Continue reading Chocoholic
