John Wayne

This is an old pencil drawing I did for my Grandad, because he was a huge fan of western films. It was supposed to be a Christmas present for him one year, and I remember staying up late on Christmas Eve still finishing it off! Typical. Unfortunately this drawing is coming back to me now, I'll have to find somewhere good to hang it. Looking at it I can't wait to do some more portrait drawing!

Toads & Letters

Yesterday I sketched a toad in a rather sharp Alexander McQueen suit.

I also did a few quick lettering sketches. I'm not sure if these are actually going to be useful, but I did enjoy doing them.

Doodles

On a busy Graphic Design course I don't often get the time to sketch people, so I take the chance when I can, fitting them around notes in my sketchbooks. This is usually when I'm bored in the studio, so I apologise to my classmates for being the focus of these sketches! Points if you can spot yourself. 

Chickens & Dogs

Here are a few of the latest drawings I've done as presents for family (making presents is much better than buying - cheaper too!).

First up is Maisie and Gertie, my brother's two chickens. Lovely and squawking, they very rarely sat calmly together like this!

The following two are my sister's dogs, Monty and Bruce. I took plenty of photos of these gorgeous boys last summer when I stayed over, so I had lots of poses to choose from. They love being the centre of attention.

Lastly, dear Sasha. She was also my sister's dog, but this I drew for my Mum as I had been promising to do so for a long time! This is her inquisitive look, watching us in the kitchen and forever hoping for something tasty to fall on the floor.
