      The rate my ears keep ringing that may happen soon :snork:

      Thank you. People are not difficult to draw. You have to find one that you know will sit still. Most of the people I draw don't even know I'm drawing them and it gives them a more natural pose.

      Love it. How much? You should start selling these on your etsy page imo.

      Have you ever tried doing insects btw? I think the watercolour and inks would transfer quite well with your style.

      Awesome! Is that a slate tile?

      I have access to loads of these paints and have never thought about using them for artwork. Apart from painting my wellies maybe.

        I have done a bit of work with acrylics before.
        They haven't come out great in the photos. The first is of two wrestlers. The second is half finished. I lost motivation halfway through, after laying down some base colours (bridge, roofs etc) :sad:.
        If you can recognise the place ??, I must have done a good job :blue thumb: :snork:.

          Ah Jane i find people really hard. We did loads of life drawing at art foundation and im just terrible at it. Faces and hair is my worst thing followed by hands and feet. But im really not good at people and find it really hard. The only things i have ever drawn well that are people based were a skeleton and a manniquin draped in some cloth at art a level lol

          The sketches im doing now arnt for sale im afraid they are for my KLC Desiging with plants sketch book. Hence why everything is plant based

          If im honest i would much rather be drawings buildings and scaffolding and anything urban and industrial

          Dont think i have ever drawn insects to be honest. Maybe once the course sketch book is out the way i might give it a try.

          I love the first once northants its very moody and provokes a lot of feeling.

          The second one is looking good. Its horrible losing motivation isnt though maybe when you get bored one day just pick it up and start doing a bit you might find you get into the flow to finish it

                              Painted sheep would be cool!

                              Another sketch from me of the local abandoned school house. Annoyingly the boarding on the window was taken down as soon as I finished. Will have to sketch it again now.
