Salome

This is Salome from Sktchy drawn with Bic 4-colour ballpoint pens. I don’t often draw full body portraits but occasionally an image will catch my attention and I want to draw it. In this case it was the great posture – it was so interesting and I love drawing foreshortening so I wanted to try to capture it.

Ava

This is Ava from Sktchy painted with Zecchi watercolours and finished with Polychromos coloured pencils.

McKenzie

This was a fun draw – with Copic markers and Polychromos coloured pencils in my Midori Cotton sketchbook.

Bojoura

This is Bojoura from Sktchy drawn on my iPad Pro using the Procreate app. I’ve uploaded a Procreate timelapse video of my drawing process to YouTube here.

Berenice

This is Berenice from Sktchy. I love that I’m so much more confident and comfortable drawing with ballpoint pens since my whole month of drawing with them for Inktober,

Kasra

This is Kasra from Sktchy, drawn on my iPad Pro using the Procreate app. Most of my drawing this week has been done sat in my armchair in front of the TV consuming US election news 24/7 (although I’m British). I feel like I’ve been drawing while watching CNN for a lifetime, has it really only been 4 days?

Mahan

This is Mahan from Sktchy. I was experimenting with a new Pentel Multi-8 mechanical pencil plus my Pilot Eno mechanical pencils in my tiny Hannehmühle Nostalgie sketchbook – while still watching CNN…

Ahmet

This is Ahmet from Sktchy drawn in Procreate on my iPad Pro. More drawing while glued to the US election results on CNN…

Luke

This is Luke from Sktchy. Trying to focus while watching TV news coverage of the US election 24/7….

Mari

This is Mari from Sktchy drawn with Copic markers in a Midori cotton sketchbook. I have to say it felt so good to be back in my Copic comfort zone making this portrait – but I forgot that I needed to be much neater in my basic sketch. I’m going to have to remember to work on a more accurate and neater sketch, something that doesn’t matter so much with ballpoint pen drawing.
