'Granny Hen' 2005




Model from Magazine 2005


Revisiting old sketchbook (2005), found this one of my Granny Hen (not sure she'd be that flattered!)

I like to try and capture people by sketching them quickly, so often there are bits missing - perhaps I only do half the face. Somehow this tends to look more realistic, or representative of what the person actually looks like (see pic of my dad below). I used to spend a lot of time on trains going to auditions, or back and to from various places that I was working or studying, to Manchester.
I will publish some of these if I can find them...



Have a lovely weekend, oh and check out my sister Lucy's cute drawings! She is posting a drawing a day on our handmade and vintage blog.


How cute is this?! Well done Lu xxxx

What is and isn't there...

hello hybrid
How amazing is this fella? The seals follow the fishing boats in every night at the harbour and we were lucky enough to see them one evening. The above picture is a sketch of the harbour (and me and C) from the same place we saw the seals. Perhaps one should feature in the background...I think I will add a little addition to the final illustration.

Illustration Friday Topic - Swell

Just to clarify, I haven't got a baby in my tummy! I just thought the premise of this picture is cute, fits this weeks IF topic, and could possibly be a children's book (for those soon to be siblings). I have taken 'swell' to mean getting big, or growing larger so I chose this picture that I did ages ago. A few of the lovely ladies I met through aquanatal when I was pregnant 3 years ago are now having their second babies so this is inspired by them.
