If you have been following me for a while, you may remember that I did a drawing of my front garden in about the 23rd of February 2019. Since the beginning of 2020, I had the idea that I would – at some point – draw the same scene, 1 year apart. Here it is…

Paintings of my bedroom setup!
So I was wondering what I should paint next, and I decided to paint what was right in front of me – my desk! I did this artwork a couple of months ago, and wasn’t sure whether or not to post it, but I have decided to do it now! If you haven’t seen my…
Shed in the back garden (again)!
I am sorry I haven’t posted for a while – I will try and get back into schedule now. Anyway here is my latest drawing. As you can see, it is of the shed in the back garden. I have used many different shading techniques – smooth shading (in the roof), hatching (in the floor…
Venice Bridge!
Welcome back! A short while ago I bought a set consisting of some paper with this scene sketched out, along with some pencils and a rubber. It also comes with some instructions about how to do different types of shading. It probably took me about a week altogether to complete this, and it was an…
(Very Overdue Post) Last Assignment for the drawing course!
Before we get into the post, I would like to apologise for the fact that this post is extremely late! I have been busy with my other projects, and have had relatives to stay! Anyway this is the last assignment for the drawing course I was completing. This week was about drawing optical illusions. I…
Drawing Using The Grid Technique.
Here is another post. As most of you probably know, I am currently completing a 3 week drawing course and I thought I’d share with you the work I am doing. These are 2 of my favourite drawings from the 3rd week of the course. This week in the drawing course, we are learning about…
Metaphorical Still Life
Welcome back everyone! This is a still life I have done for the drawing course I am doing. Before I actually drew it, I jotted some ideas down in my sketchbook and planned some thumbnail sketches. After that, I put the objects down on the floor, photographed them in a few different angles, and then…
Plastic Bag Drawing – Evaluation.
I am in the first week of a 4 week online drawing course. This is one of the assignments I did of a plastic bag so that I could practice folds, creases, wrinkles, etc in the context of smooth shading. In the course, one of the tasks was to do an evaluation. Here it is:…
My first painting with watercolour pencils – for a long time
I’ve use watercolour pencils before, but that was a while ago and I wanted to try it again. So, I went off to an art shop and bought some! They are nothing special, just fairly cheap Crawford & Black ones – but it will help me to learn how to use them well. This painting…
Mixed media portraiture.
Hello everybody. So today I have been doing some portrait drawings. I got a reference from a YouTube video I watched (the video was about drawing portraits). It doesn’t look like the person on the video, but that’s okay for now. I did this partly in pencil, and partly with a fine liner pen. It…
