Moving On


This is one of the most amazing animated music videos I've seen! I love stop motion and the way this particular one has been made.

Getting back into life drawing


The two sheets above were the first drawings I did as I got back into the hand of drawing from life. I was happy with how they turned out for a first attempt. We spent around 15 minutes on each pose.


The next two sheets are quick drawings of poses that only lasted 2 minutes. 


The sheet on the left also has 2 minute drawings, however we were challenged to do this with our opposite hand. I found it difficult to get the correct shape but managed to show the overall gesture. The final sheet shows drawings where we weren't allowed to look. For the top two I wasn't allowed to look at the page while I drew and for the one at the bottom I had to look at the model for 2 minutes and then draw without referring to the model. I found these tasks challenging but fun to see what I could achieve by drawing in different ways. They were also highly amusing!


Smokey fire kitty


This is the first drawing that I came up with after having a break from doing any work. I'm quite happy with how it turned out; I like the contrast in colours which is why I named it a smokey fire kitty! I might develop this further to create a character from it.
