Sarah’s Mum

This is another portrait focusing on the eyes for Sktchy’s Anatomy with Tiffany course. The drawing is of Sarah’s mum and was made on an iPad Pro with the Procreate app.

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

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.

Anika

I love drawing foreshortening and this portrait of Anika from Sktchy is a great example. I drew this on my iPad Pro using the Procreate app and Lisa Bardot’s Texturrific Pastel brushes.

Pattes

This is Pattes from Sktchy drawn on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil using the Procreate app.

Kiana

This is Kiana from Sktchy. I was so happy with how the face worked out that when it came to drawing the hair I really didn’t know what to do with it. I’ve spent two days messing about in Procreate with all kinds of ideas and not liked any of them so erased each one. In the end I decided to simply draw it in and leave it with this cool blue background because I didn’t want to draw too much attention away from the face.
