Inktober 2
So, should have been out yesterday however I got sidetracked BUT at least I did the inking on day 2 :)
Inktober 1
Thought I’d have a go at this, this year. Originally created by artist Jake Parker and is simply a creative exercise to help get more confident at drawing/inking. Maybe you’d be interested too?

Her name is Alice Hole, so, if you have your mug/brew ready, let me introduce you to Alice.

Last Of The Commissions
Last year I started a series of three commissions for a lovely lady. Now that she has (hopefully) received them I think that I am safe to pop the last of these online for all to see.
Another Commission Complete
Hurrah! Another one done!

Old Dog, New Tricks – Using Old Stencils For Zentangled Cards
You know the saying. ‘You can’t teach an old dog new tricks’. I’m not so sure.
If like me you have a stash of stencils and templates that you got donkey’s years ago, and that have sat in the drawer since then, why not have a rummage and see if any would be suitable for Zentangling.
That’s very much what I’ve been doing this weekend.
Portfolio Archive – Drawing and Sketching – Life Drawing
Last week I shared a gallery of images that featured still life drawing attempts.
This week I have a collection of life drawing sketches to share with you.
Portfolio Archive – Drawing and Sketching – Still Life

This first collection is some of my first ‘official’ attempts at sketching and drawing, in particular those that would be grouped under “still life”.
