Sketch Blog

  • 1 August

    Ouch, I think my hand is going to hurt tomorrow. But I finished a picture that I’m really proud of! So I feel lots of regret, but also triumph. Strange combination? I feel like for the rest of my life I’m going to be walking this tightrope between too much pain and not enough drawing.…

    I’m back! I’m just back from a holiday, which always makes me reassess my life a bit, and I’m trying to make some improvements. I realised this blog was one of my better habits that fell by the wayside, and I want to make more time for it. I don’t have much art to show…

    Had to hold off on the art for a little while, it was getting too painful with my hands (both of them were starting to hurt, and I still have a day job). I’m hopeful now because I’m getting some new treatment from an occupational therapist which seems to be slowly helping, but the going…

  • Inktober 2016, part 1

    Inktober adventures on my instagram. All of these have contributed to my left hand feeling much more confident about itself. I already posted two of these, but it felt incomplete to leave them out all because they fit into two categories.

  • ART DUMP! I hate that term but I guess I’m limited in vocabulary and I don’t know what else to call this. Mostly just the painty/inky stuff I thought was worth showing from the past few weeks/months/I can’t remember. Maybe I’ll do a post just for inktober and that will just be a mass of…

  • Paris Trip

    Went to Paris, and drew some stuff! Most of these were just waiting in lines: going up Notre Dame, sitting at the airport, etc… And then a little sketching when I got home.

    Instagram pics from the last week or two! I’m still making no progress on fixing my right hand problems, which got much worse this week because I had to make it hurt to get an MRI scan, and I’m still paying all that right hand use. So, that’s not fun but at least there’s some…

    Did this picture a few weeks ago, but was only just able to get a good picture of it to upload last week (my scanner is terrible).  You can find it here on my Redbubble account.  Thanks for watching!

  • Augsburg Zoo trip

    Went to the zoo a few weeks ago on a day off from work, and had a great time filling up almost half my new sketchbook. Also got back to the right hand, because drawing animals is bloody hard enough as it is. The chameleon was great to draw, very adept at standing still. If…

  • Updates, part 4

    Went crazy with some patterns and hands. I like how this one turned out, I’d like to neaten it up on the computer or something later. Also used up two of the cards I’ve been hoarding for no reason, happy I did that. Surface wasn’t awesome for watercolours though, might try the gouache next time.…
