Illustration Friday "Water"

My entry for this week's Illustration Friday "water"

Weekend sketches

Friday 

 I visited Surgeons hall. Lots of things to look at but not necessarily draw I felt. Something that really interests me though is structure of the human form and bones. This was a sketch using brown and white pencil on brown paper of a skeleton hand that had a bullet hole through it in the war. Which I thought was pretty interesting to look at. The gun shot is aparantly the hole in the bone at the wrist (on the left hand side).

I enjoyed sketching the fine detail especially in the joints.

Saturday

I met one of my best friends for some coffee time :) I've not drawn her for a while so I decided to today

This was the original sketch then I decided to colour it in digitally for a change, to experiment a bit more with what media I'm using.

                        Here's the end result after being coloured in photoshop. It was very minimal and I could use          more practice but I think it works quite well

"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside"

Mixed Media - Collage, sewing, found objects, paint and photoshop

After visiting the beach/harbour a few weeks ago I wanted to continue on the sketch I did looking down and seeing what was at my feet. Here's the end result :)

Poppy painting

Final portrait

My sister wanted a new painting for her room and I jumped at the chance to do one for her. I've not painted let alone drawn flowers for quite a while so I was really happy the way it has turned out and so was she :) I think the gold paint really helps it stand out.

Museum sketches 14/9/12

Continuing my sketching practice at the museum and I really enjoyed working from the animals especially today. Working in conte sticks I think really helps bring out the colour and tones from my work.
