Continuing to practice using the references over at redditgetsdrawn. Starting to feel more confident with women now, in the sphere of drawing anyhow …
As always, more of my work on my Instagram
Hey all, just biking in to wish you all well. I strongly encourage you to follow my Instagram if you’d like to keep up to date with my drawings. I post there regularly as I continue to try and learn to draw. I personally feel it’s a much better way to share images than wordpress, and as my writing has fallen by the wayside in favour of drawing, that is where you will find me! Cheers.
Railway station in a country town, flagstones wide, dark and wet with rain. Cast iron bolts suffocated by thick beige paint, flaked with age. Train delayed 11 minutes, passengers sleepy and few in number, apathetic to delay or even cheerful, ‘it’ll be alright’, lo holy British stoicism if only in this crouched corner. Gentleman across platform studies paper, widespread khaki slacks and slightly bruised red brown leather shoes asunder, thin and aged hand peeks out of overcoat to grip paper tentatively, though firm, like a mouse’s nose out a crack in a wall. Grey hair not too thin, combed, skin sallow and liver-spotted, chin a wreck of flesh after many years sitting reading papers no doubt, dignified in its way. Pages turn slowly as he bends to his serious study of another day’s events, quiet and watchful as a predator.
Digital, about 1.5 hours
My attempt at Hemingway. Nice to be drawing again after moving into a new place. A3, Charcoal
I worked from about 8am until 10:30pm. Then I drank whiskey and beer and drew and talked until 3am and produced, in my opinion, one of the best drawings I’ve ever done.
Quick sketch, 45 mins.
