I love drawing things. These days I am rarely found without a pen, pencil or stylus in my hands. In my working life I spend a lot of time in meetings and classrooms, reading papers and strategies, so my home life provides a creative antidote to all that! I also have chronic pain, lots of it. I have scoliosis, fibromyalgia and CRPS, so my life is a balancing act, trying to balance work, which make me feel part of the real world, with pain, which is ever present, and art, which soothes my pain.

Yungblud

We did a Portrait Artist of the Year challenge in yesterday’s Drawing Faces class, drawing Yungblud from a still from the episode he appeared in (season 12, episode 1). We were also inspired by Edie Bound’s winning portrait of him made during that episode, incorporating her bright pink and orange into our portraits.

This was such a challenge to draw and there is a lot wrong with this portrait but I’m happy that I did at least capture the spirit of the inspiration photo.

Jacob

Such a weird angle made this tricky but fun draw of Jacob.
