Illustration Friday Entry - Wrinkles

Here is my entry for Illustration Friday this week it was enjoyable but ended up with me spending a lot of money and the Elephant House again. Oh well, I saw a couple of ladies talking and they spoke in whispers and "bitchy" from what I could tell. So I did an ad-lib of sorts. I hope you enjoy this, I most certainly enjoyed doing it. I may upload some of the other sketches soon as there are quite a few I'm quite happy with.


I had been doing lots of just black drawings some with a fine liner and some with a dip pen, this was fine liner. I hasn't used any colour really so far so I decided to test it on a throw away sketch I did earlier on and then I applied it carefully to these drawings. The ladies weren't really this horrific looking but I extenuated and added the words to make it look like it could either be a thought of one of them or them talking amoungst each other.

Thanks for visiting any feedback would be appreciated!

Wrinkles - Illustration Friday

Monday was a day of mystery not knowing what wonders we would behold as we were given our brief. So this week I am taking part in Illustration Friday, the theme is wrinkles so here is some of my sketch book ideas. I wad trying to get away from the idea of old people and try something that was a bit abstract but now I think I am going to give it more of a narrative feel and I enjoy drawing people so I went for a wee trip out of the studio. We are doing this with Jill Calder and I feel that it is unfortunate that we haven't seen so much of her this year because she has set us some really interesting stuff. (p.s. this is rehearsed compliment designed specifically to get brownie points because she is probably reading this)

I went and hung out it Elephant House in Edinburgh as it's always very chatty and busy, so I drew some people, if you ever go the Elephant house try the mallow delight it's really nice I don't really like hot chocolate but ummmmm. Anyway look at the image and see how deep and meaningful it is. Stay tuned. ^_^
