Elephant in the river

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, just for the art of it.

Today's is an elephant in a river.
It reminds me of the Just So Stories, if you have not read them, don't worry, you are not dead yet so there is still time to correct this omission. If they weren't part of your childhood, then at least you can find a kid to read them to.

Highland cattle and my book is out! And an art tip.

I'm creating a drawing a day for two years, just for the art of it.
Today's is Highland Cattle, so common in my native Scotland.
I'm riding a high because I've published my book!!!

Jaguar and 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 Jaguar.

Today's tip: Try some coloured papers, and very thick paper that you can use soaking wet!

Shire horse and 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 shire horse.
Today's tip: Try to be the shire horse not the racehorse. Press and even artists, like to portray artists as unreliable and flighty, this may be because they wish them harm, or it may be because it makes them interesting to write about,  but ether way, it can sneak into your thinking about art. Forget it! Leave the the fidgeting and kicking to the racehorse. Be the shire horse, get that cart and lean on it, overcome it's resistance to starting, drag it up hill. The beauty of art is, if you do this, you will very soon look behind to see you have left both shire horse and racehorse on the ground, because you have become the kestrel, whipping over uphill ground, now irrelevant to you!

Page of rabbits and 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 page of rabbits, and a little pencil test in the corner.

Today's tip: Things are not really made of lines, they are areas of colour, and light and shade. Try out a little light and shade, pencils have a range, shown in the corner of the picture, get some nice soft ones (2B, 3B... the Bs are soft) and take some part of the drawing as dark as you can.

Meerkat snuggle at Tilgate Nature Centre

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today we went to Tilgate Nature Centre and this family of meerkats was in such a snuggle you could hardly tell which was which, then the little one got too hot and pushed its way out the middle to lie on top for a bit! My daughter was enchanted!

Frog

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
When is the last time you looked at a frog for 30 minutes? Have you ever? One of the wonderful things about drawing is I just spent 30 minutes looking at a frog! I always knew they were awesome but I haven't admired one that carefully since I was 10! And I had forgotten how awesome they are.
