A variety of drawings...



Today I am posting a range of drawings that I have done recently.

While in Melbourne I found Moleskine notebooks for sale and bought one to take home and try. While at the Picasso exhibition I found that I was wanting to take notes so I went to the NGV shop to see if I could buy a journal to make some notes as I looked at the exhibition and found that they sold Moleskine notebooks there too. So I bought one and took some notes and voila!

I have found that I really like the notebook. It is a great size for carrying in my bag and I really like the elastic band that keeps it closed. I have used watercolour pencils in it regularly and find that it takes the water okay as long as I am sparing with the amount of water I use.

Here is a pen drawing of a seat on the plane home from Melbourne.

When I arrive home Louis is delighted to see me and has a great need to be with me every second. Here is a drawing of him sleeping near me on the lounge chair. I used watercolour pencils and found that his hair wasn't nearly as difficult to do as I had previously found it.

He is a dear little thing when he is asleep but can be quite mischievous when he is awake.

Below is another drawing of Louis, this time in pen and from the opposite chair.

  • Love the angle of the drawing of the airline seat.. I tried to do a similar composition on a train recently and gave up so well done! Great pics of the dog too!

  • The drawings you posted today are great- glad to see you worked on the EDM challenge- well done! My Fav would have to be Louis, of course- cause I'm a sucker for a nice lookin pooch. You did a great job on the fur.
