Elle

Elle from the Museum by Sktchy app.

Henri

I’m working away from home this week and I had a long train journey today. So I drew Henri on the (very crowded) train.

Drew

This is Drew from the Museum by Sktchy app drawn on my iPad Pro using the Procreate app.

Scott

This is Scott from the Museum by Sktchy app, drawn in around 45 minutes in my Drawing Faces class yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve ever managed to complete a portrait during class!

Apo

I’ve been hatching this portrait of Apo slowly while dealing with a migraine. I have chronic migraine and have headaches which last for several days, and hatching with a ballpoint is the only drawing that is manageable. So glad that this is still possible though.

I recommend ballpoint pen drawing to anyone who wants something meditative and creative to do – once you’ve drawn the outline all you need to do is hatch!

Brittany

I had a lot of fun adding the reflected greens and yellows to this portrait of Brittany. I experimented with adding Irotijen coloured pencils over the Bic hatching to soften it a little and I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Troix

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.

Taran

This is Taran from the Museum by Sktchy app, painted with watercolour and finished off with coloured pencils. I really enjoyed drawing and painting that fabric but I’ve had enough of trying to work with the paper in this new Moleskine watercolour sketchbook.

I’ve been very happy with them in the past but the paper in this one is different. The paint is drying differently, it’s not layering well, and it’s not responding well to multiple layers as it has in the past. So I’m going to abandon it (something I almost never do) and move on to a new sketchbook.

Zoe

I bought some new Japanese coloured pencils last week and tried them out today with this portrait of Zoe from the Museum by Sktchy app. They are Irojiten pencils made by Tombow and they’re beautiful to use – so creamy and very blendable. It was very easy to build up beautiful layers of colour with them in this portrait.

Eden

I lost the likeness with this portrait of Eden from Sktchy but i loved drawing it and that’s what matters.
