The first self portrait in a while
So here’s another portrait drawing; a self portrait – drawn from a photo on my computer. I wanted to choose a photo that wasn’t just a blank expression – and I think the likely expression in the drawing makes it come alive. It probably took be around half an hour and I completed it in…
I redrew the same photo three years later – and it’s even better than before.
About three years ago, I was looking though a portrait drawing book. I saw a drawing at the back, so I thought I’d give it ago. Since then, I’ve hardly done and drawing. But I decided to get back into it a bit – and so I drew the drawing again. Somehow, even though I…
Another architectural drawing
Here is another drawing I’ve just done with a fine-liner pen. It’s of an imaginary place – with mountains and forests. At the bottom of one of the mountains is a rather large house. It has a generously sized front garden with a few palm trees and other plants. There are a few steps leading…
Some floor plans & drawings for a CGI house design in blender.
Over the last few days I have been designing a few architectural floor plans. These aren’t quite the finished product, but once I’ve finished them I’m planning to create some 3d renders of them using blender. It’s been a while since I’ve done any 3d architectural renders. Since the blender 2.80 release – which needed…
A drawing/painting with a brush pen.
For my most recent piece of artwork, I decided to see what it would look like if I used just one colour of brush pen. My thinking was, that it would be similar to a fine liner pen except you could easily vary the widths of the strokes. So I decided to see what it…
A couple of updated drawings that I have been working on.
Over the last couple of weeks & months, I have sort of “forgotten” to post any of the drawings that I have done. So, I decided to update you now. These are 2 I did at different times. They were both done in the same 5″ sketchbook with a fine-liner pen, and the first one…
I drew Frodo Baggins from The Hobbit Movie!
So a couple of days ago, I decided I wanted to do another portrait drawing. I decided to keep it in the Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit theme, so I drew Frodo Baggins! Here is how I did it: Like before, I started out by drawing and outline of the face, including where…
A drawing of Bilbo Baggins!
This is another drawing I did – it is of Bilbo Baggins in the live action hobbit movies. Here are some of the things I do and don’t like about it: Things I do like about it: The wrinkles around the mouth, under the eyes and on the forehead are better than I expected –…
I drew a self portrait!
So a bit over a year ago (before I started this blog), I did a couple of portraits. I learnt most of what I know about it because of several books my parents got me about drawing portraits. But then, I sort of stopped doing them – until now! I decided to do a drawing…
