Today Sktchy has asked artists to draw George Floyd, who was killed last week by a police officer in the United States, and whose death has sparked both peaceful protests and riots across that country in the days since. Sktchy are donating $50 for every portrait drawn of him until Friday to Campaign Zero, a campaign to end police violence in America, so if you’re a Sktchy artist reading this please think about posting a portrait of George Floyd on Sktchy before the end of the week.
I’m taking the new Sktchy course Ink Naturally with Dylan Sara which started this week – learning to make ink out of natural products and draw with it. So I drew this portrait with a bamboo calligraphy pen and using coffee as my ink.
