Swan
I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, just to see what will happen!

Serval and an art tip
I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.
Today's drawing is a serval, we went to Tilgate Park today and they fed one a rabbit! This is a compact little predator.
Today's tip: Art teachers talk a lot about perspective and proportion. I have invented my own simple definitions for these, which I include here, but as always, if you really look, you will see what is there without needing a rule to tell you what is there.
Perspective is simply the way in which things (or parts of things) look smaller as they get further away. For example roads get smaller (narrower) as they get further away.
Proportion is simply how many of something can you fit into something else, or how big is it compared to something else.

Girl with sunglasses.
I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.
Today's drawing is my daughter with sunglasses on her head, done with a graphite block only, to make me work crudely.
Today's tip: Try things, media, techniques, art forms, thinking you are no good at art because you don't draw well with an HB pencil and an evil school art teacher, is like thinking you are no good at sports because you can't swim crawl. There are other sports, there is even other swimming.

Lion cub relaxing
I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today's is a lion cub. This is done with Conte crayon. My dad and his friends were all wild for them at Glasgow art school in the 60s, to be like Rembrandt or something. They took a bit of getting used to but I'm starting to like them.
