Courtney‘s friend

A little bit of Bank Holiday drawing resulted in this portrait of Courtney’s friend, wearing his beautiful flower crown.

Jaan/Princess Leia

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).

David

It always takes me a little while to get used to the change of paper when I start a new watercolour sketchbook, especially if I’ve changed from one brand to another. My last one was a Fabriano Venezia and this is only my second painting in my new one, a Moleskine, so I’m still making that adjustment, but I’m pretty happy with how David’s portrait turned out.

Rines

I was playing around with some watercolour brushes in Procreate on my iPad for this portrait of Rines from Sktchy.

Diey

Lots of meditative hatching for this portrait of Diey.

Korka

I love holiday weekends because I get so much more time to just play around with drawing and experiment. Over last Easter weekend I had fun with a Chromograph stippling brush on my iPad Pro and tweaked a line stippling brush I already had so that I could use that with it, and drew this portrait of Korka from the Museum by Sktchy app. Obviously influenced by Van Gogh and Seurat but I was also very much just playing around and having fun and seeing where that took me.
