A little eye study of Jun from Sktchy for Sktchy’s portrait anatomy class.

Tiffany

This was a quick eye study of Tiffany for my Sktchy portrait anatomy class , drawn on my iPad Pro using the Procreate app.

Skull portrait

A year or so ago I took a Sktchy portrait anatomy class with medical illustrator Tiffany S. Davanzo. I absolutely loved it and right now Tiffany is offering a new portrait anatomy course on Sktchy. I was trying to resist this new one because I don’t really have the time for it but, of course, once I saw portraits of skulls popping up in my Sktchy and Instagram feeds I caved and signed up. So here’s my first skull portrait. If you want to see other class portraits on Instagram the hashtag is #anatomywithtiffany.

Livey ‘s Monster

I loved the Sktchy inspiration photo for this portrait of Livey’s toddler and I really wanted to play a little bit with his shadow. When I was drawing it definitely wanted to be a bird monster of some kind so that’s what it became.

I drew this on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using the Procreate app.

Naomi

Today’s portrait is not from Sktchy. This is Naomi, the aerialist from Draw Brighton’s Drawing Circus, drawn on my iPad Pro.

Since the first Covid lockdown in the UK last Spring I’ve been a supporter of Draw Brighton, my local life drawing school which had to shut its doors due to coronavirus but started offering activities via Patreon to provide income for its teachers and models. They offer virtual life and portrait drawing sessions, blogs and a range of online classes and activities each month and they also they release photos of their models and from the Drawing Circus (their themed semi-clothed life drawing troupe) archive.

Karina

This is Karina from Sktchy drawn on an iPad Pro using the Procreate app.

Mo

Trying to stay sane in an insane world by drawing, drawing, drawing. This is Mo from Sktchy drawn on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using the Procreate app.

Marie

Last portrait of the year and I decided to draw Marie from Sktchy on my iPad Pro. Thank you to everyone who has followed my blog, read my posts and supported me in any way. I really appreciate your support. Posting my portraits here is one of the things I do to ensure I keep drawing regularly so by visiting this blog you are actively supporting my drawing habit. Thank you and Happy New Year to you.

Lil

This is Lil from Sktchy drawn in what is now becoming my signature Copic method of a basic Copic marker drawing followed by some more work in coloured pencil and then some cleaning up and finishing touches on my iPad.

Courtney

This is Courtney from Sktchy. I’ve been feeling very anxious this past week and today I decided to draw a smiling face as a form of art therapy. I loved making this drawing, especially adding the freckles, always my favourite feature to add to a face.
