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

I had so much fun making this portrait of Mahan.

I drew this portrait on my iPad Pro using the Procreate app and brushes that I’ve had in my Procreate brush library for a while but have never used. It was fun to experiment with new brushes and see what I could do with them.

Taking a few days off work this week to recharge my batteries which , of course, means drawing more. This is Vsevolod from the Museum by Sktchy app drawn on my iPad Pro.

This is Marty whose photo was posted on the Museum by Sktchy app by Jacob. We’ve been drawing him over the past couple of weeks in my Sketchbook Skool Spark Drawing Faces class using Copic markers and coloured pencils.

I started drawing portraits with ballpoint pens in 2020 and I’ve drawn one every few weeks since then. Today I finished my first sketchbook of these drawings almost exactly three years after I started it with this portrait of Jodi from the Museum by Sktchy app. It’s a wonderful sketchbook because I can see how much progress I’ve made over these three years I developing both my skills and my style.
If you’d like to see a flip through of my completed sketchbook you can view it on YouTube here.

The inspiration photo for this portrait of Natascia just cried out for an iPad drawing exercise using the symmetry tool so, of course, I decided to draw it the hard way, in my sketchbook using Copic markers and pencils.
It was a fun drawing exercise, where I was checking both on the image and my drawing to try to get some sense of symmetry but trying not to be overexercised by it. I wanted the drawing to work on its own, rather than worrying too much about it being perfectly symmetrical. And it certainly isn’t the latter but I think it works nicely as a drawing so I’m happy with it.

Today’s face is a quick ballpoint pen portrait of Bia using Bic 4-colour pens.

May the Fourth be with you! Happy Star Wars day. I spend the whole year looking forward to my Star Wars day portrait 😂 This year I had to celebrate the fact that Carrie Fisher is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.
So I drew Jaan from Sktchy in Princess Leia cosplay. She has a whole series of photos in this costume and I’ve drawn another one before but I loved drawing her again, this time on my iPad Pro (I drew the last one with Copic markers).
