Wow!
A drawing of William Dafoe made with a blue biro pen.
A rather elongated Willem Dafoe. I started with my posh fountain pen and instantly smudged the initial lines. So I switched to a nice cheap biro. I rather liked it! I think I’ll do more biro drawings soon.

Pencil drawing of a woman.
Pencil drawing of a man.
Two more pictures that I drew with Dylan Sara’s Advent draw-alongs. I’m rather enjoying this method of putting down a layer of pencil which works a bit like using coloured paper.

This morning’s ten-minute advent draw-along. It’s interesting to me as it’s a technique I’ve not tried before.

I wish there was more reporting like this rather than personalities and drama. In the other hand the news is so depressing I should probably stop being so interested.
Thanks Jo!!!
Pencil drawing of Neo from the Matrix
The fact you only have the ten minutes takes the pressure off it being “good”. I am getting very interested in what Dylan is saying about “simplification”. I am very tempted to go back and add darker tones to the first five pictures but I thought I’d post them in their ten-minute state. 3/3 #art

Pencil drawing of a woman in glasses.
Pencil drawing of a man with a beard.
Luckily, I stumbled in a video by Dylan Sara who is doing a daily ten-minute draw-along until Christmas. I grabbed a random drawing implement - an H pencil - and caught up with six of them yesterday. By the sixth one I had the sense to grab a 2B pencil too. 2/3

Pencil drawing of a laughing man.
I was completely burnt out after #inktober and haven’t drawn anything since. That’s a month and a week without drawing. I was starting to get “The Fear” about putting pen to paper again. What if it was terrible? What if I’d forgotten how to draw? 1/3

GLASSES-WEARERS: Do you have to take your glasses off every time you sneeze or blow your nose? I feel like this is my first winter with glasses and this is not something I foresaw. (Perhaps my foresight needs glasses too!)
I really like the Ty Seagull version of this. Anyway, here they, as requested:

#inktober? InkOVER, more like! It’s the final day. Woohoo! I’m free!
Day 31, “award”

#inktober Day 30, “vacant”. The penultimate drawing! I was frustrated that I didn’t get a better likeness of John Lyndon as he’s so distinctive. Adding colour is probably against the “ink only” ethos of Inktober but hey. Anarchy!

#inktober Day 28, “skeletal”.
It’s a skellington.

#inktober Day 29, “lesson”. I think I might have to do a triple whammy of pictures today! There’s two from yesterday. And then if I share today’s drawing today, I can post the final picture tomorrow on the final day of the challenge.

#inktober Day 27, “onion”. I feel a bit sorry for the lady in the reference photo for this drawing, who had to pose in an onion fancy dress costume with inappropriately positioned roots, but a job’s a job, I suppose.

#inktober day 10, “sweep”. There are going to be a few days of double drawings as I get to the end of Inktober. Here, I’ve gone all the way back to day 10 which I skipped at the time. Day 27 in a bit.

#inktober day 25, “inferno.” Bruce Campbell in a devil suit... again.
I was a bit hasty in sharing this yesterday. Here’s the improved version.

#inktober, day 22, “button”. A second drawing from yesterday. I chose to interpret “button” in the American way, as badge, and then found the most British example of badge wearing: Rik from the Young Ones.

#inktober day 21, “blast”. I thought of the phrase “blast off” and found a photo of the space shuttle, then, as I’m trying to focus on people, I found a photo of this astronaut.

I had to do a bit of a catchup on #inktober yesterday &, to be honest, I was feeling a bit sick of it. Burn out is setting in. So I did one picture in the hatching style I’ve been developing, then another much simpler with a thicker pen. The third was somewhere between the two.

Day 18, “Deal”. Apologies to Kim Deal as it looks nothing like her!
Day 19, “Arctic”. It’s Paul Hollywood making an Arctic roll!
Day 20, “Rivals”. A drawing of a famous photograph called “The woman with the handbag”.
