Garlic!

Now that i'm a full-time student again (wohoo!) i'll have lots more drawings to post...

Another old one!

Another really old drawing, a volume study this time. I'll get doing new stuff soon!

Is anyone else still posting?!

Charcoal Life Drawing

This is from 2010... but I haven't managed to do any drawing the last few weeks!

Roots pt2

More roots drawing!

I'm in India till May after this, so mightn't be much pics from me for a while, though hopefully i'll do some sketching while i'm away

Roots

Pencil drawing of these great looking roots Barky dragged up out of the garden.

Old Character Sketch

Didn't get around to doing any drawing this week so here's something I found on a backup drive.
Think I did this about 16 years ago...Jaysus I'm feckin old!

and another example of ropeyness

imaginary landscape....

ummm.. hullo... sme again...

ropey sketch of Leo.....

Life drawing.... second last one

This is actually a painting from a few weeks back, our last class is this Thursday, so i'll be mixing it up a bit soon hopefully!

Elderly Woman Part 2

Slightly more finished version of last week's sketch..

Freaky Woman

Painting from last week. There was some lovely brown paper in the class so I worked on that, the colours came out totally different on it to usual and it was actually very hard to get warm skin tones on it, hence the weird white gobliny creature I ended up painting! I'm going to fill in the background with colour so she's not floating in space so much, we'll see what kind of difference that'll make.

Elderly Woman

Could only manage a quick scribble this week but will try to do a slightly more finished version of this for next week..
I'll definitely do tigger n piglet soon too Maria!

Saatchi Online + last weeks painting

Hey guys, I discovered a new site this week, http://www.saatchionline.com/discover, it's a great place for seeing new work, but also if some of ye were so inclined ye can sign up, put your own work up there and put it for sale, the site takes care of printing, shipping etc. Something to think about maybe!

Also, my painting from last week, shakey!

Winnie The Pooh

I love the original E.H.Shepard illustrations so thought I'd have a go at one of them..

Pink leaf continued...

Just attached the leaf I painted a while back to a canvas with some text...plan is to make a series of them.

Acrylics

Watercolour

Finished off this chap with some watercolour.
Did ye see the culture show last week? It reviewed the watercolour exhibition on at the tate. Have a look: http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/watercolour/default.shtm
Inspiring me to do something less traditional next time...even john squire is using watercolour!!

Screenprinting

I was screenprinting over the weekend at Cork Printmakers, best weekend ever! Here's a couple of prints on paper (700g cartridge... lovely!), I did a few tshirts and bags as well, really enjoyable weekend, would love to do more.

Scribbles

Just a bit of scribbling.Good fun though..

photo of a photo

Lazy post this week - never got to do any painting. These are a sequence of photos printed on some nice fabriano paper. Taken in Tuscany.

Painting

More painting from me! Life drawing class last week, a lot of redrawing of lines and very messy,

Another Old Fella

Sorry bout the no show last week.Been a bit busy.
Still working on this but here's where I'm at with it at the moment...

Blue tit

Didnt get round to posting last week had the winter vomiting bug - very pleasant indeed.
I've to finish this off so you might see this fella again next week.

Old Chalk Drawing

Haven't had time to do something this week and missed my life drawing last week (boo) so here's an old chalk portrait,

Nice Hat!

I think i should be a hat designer.

More Painting

From last weeks life drawing class, very enjoyable, but quite a wonky result! The shoulders and body are very wasted looking, when perspective goes bad! Really enjoying the whole learning process of it though.

Random Auld Fella...

1st attempt on the iPad - in progress...

its fairly ropey but as i said, its in progress...
Sorrya bout the delay in posting - i was in kerry all weekend...

Giraffe

not much time this week so it's just a very quick sketch but I did try the pen which I'm a bit afraid of cos you can't undo!!

Painting Attempt

I tried painting at my life class last week, these are the results, pretty terrible! Although to be honest I thought it was going to be worse, at least you can tell it's a person!

Again, the top image here is half way through the class. I chickened out of trying to sort out the hands at the end of the class and just painted a background instead! There's LOADS wrong with the final result, but I absolutely loved doing it, can't wait to give it another go this week.

Stare

Kinda ropey sketch of a Jenny Saville painting.Good fun though...:)

preening pelican

i dunno - i kinda like it and i kinda dont.. was going for something a little less harsh that i usually do....

Pencil & Watercolour

Random Fashion Girl

Hey guys,

I have nothing new for this week (boo!) so i'm posting an old wacom painting I did. I really enjoyed doing it and at the time I was like "i'm definitely doing more of these" and then I never did another one again! I will get back to them though, eventually.

It's from a Vogue photo, I find Vogue brilliant for fashion photography which is always really nice to draw, lovely lighting and colours, and beautiful girls of course!

I'm loving this blog by the way, so interesting seeing all the different styles and lovely work!

Not really John Healy...

This was supposed to be a sketch of John Healy but it looks absolutely nothing like him... :D

tomfoolery

Still not bored of the markers...

Hey guys,
