Hugh

I like to know the names of people I draw, even though I’m usually drawing from a photo on the Sktchy app. This is usually fine because people mostly post selfies. But people do also post photos of friends and family and they don’t always add the person’s name in the caption. So in these cases I invent a name.

The inspiration photo for this portrait was posted by Laura and I’m guessing that this person is her partner (but I could be wrong). A way she didn’t note his name so I’ve invented the name Hugh for him. Say hello to the anonymous guy I’ve christened Hugh!

Taelor

I do love drawing portraits with ballpoint pens.

Kimia

Drawing that dotty pattern on Kimia’s scarf was so much fun!

Izumi

I haven’t used watercolour for a while so it was good to get my paints out for this portrait.

Alix

This portrait of Alix was created for Sketchbook Skool to promote my classes and workshops.

Ryo

I’ve been meaning to draw Ryo’s wonderful face for ages and I finally got around to it.

Jenny

Totally lost the likeness on this portrait of Jenny but had fun drawing it.

Tony

A quickish ballpoint pen portrait of Tony from the Museum by Sktchy app.

Esther

Had fun trying to capture the purple reflections on Esther’s face in this portrait. Was also trying out a new fineliner but decided I prefer my usual grey Unipins.

Scribblebug

I drew this in about 45-50 minutes in my Drawing Faces class yesterday. Really happy with how it turned out given the time limit.
