To quote Belle And Sebastian, do something pretty while you can • in my case, drawing while on the phone, even though I’ve been sick most of the week and can’t seem to get quite back to normal • elder Sketcherman brush as always, because I am a creature of habit 😊
Swipe for the inevitable 30-second timelapse • @earthsworld , you keep me drawing, even late in the evening, when I think I am too tired or too busy to make a mark on the paper or on the iPad • there is always a face, a stark shadow, a hairdo to explore • and for that, I thank you! • Elder Sketcherman brush in @procreate
A little background, a little texture, and still trying colors • even though I prefer the sketch stage, go figure • elder Sketcherman brush in Procreate
There’s always that hope that if I lay these colors thick and on top of each other, blending some to an unspeakable mess, that perhaps, perhaps it will yield something • colored pencils on smooth bristol paper • @cansonpaper@prismacolor
I don’t like it, but it’s a process — and this is one of the many steps toward a better understanding of color • and trying to resist the urge to crosshatch but crosshatching anyway • Shigeru Ishiba in the NYTimes today • swipe for the 30-second timelapse
Yes that line in the paper is the crease because I was just using a piece of mail which had been folded • color pencils on photocopy paper • swipe for a glare-y timelapse of how • also, I have always loved this song by the Guess Who • what’s another great song about eyes? 🧐 • #colorpencil #drawalongwithfrance
There’s a timelapse and I almost managed to stay in the frame - not quite • a bunch of colored pencils on some paper with no brand on it • still grappling with colors • #colorpencil #eye
Continuing my little adventures in color — opening boxes of color pencils I had forgotten I had, sorting them by skin tones and putting them in different mugs • the mugs-to-desk space ratio has forever been altered • @fabercastellglobal Goldfaber and @prismacolor pencils on some thin-ish paper • #drawalongwithfrance #coloredpencil
Slide for the timelapse • I think this is the most I have labored on a drawing on the old iPad, ever • i completely got lost in the details • we’re seeing Oasis in 10 days, 30 years after seeing them for the first time • who’s going and who has gone? • Elder Sketcherman brush in Procreate • #oasislive25 #oasis #liamgallagher @oasis
