Weekend sketchbooking

Bus sketch

My sketch friend Rooi recently lost here beloved dogs so I did this to send her

I’ve not posted here in a while but, like anyone who draws from life, I find censorship on mainstream platforms hard to work with

Roberta. Missed

Life drawing in Lyttelton

.. I finaly did it.. Leap of faith into something hopefuly kinder to sensual, nude art.. Lots to learn, bear with me as I come out of the dark..

@bellaciaobella.bsky.social Welcome Bella to Bsky 🦋

When you draw someone you seem to connect well with things fall into place and this happened here. The wonderful Sol

How do we feel about videos on Bluesky? Here's a quick reading. #writingcommunity #indieauthor

This year has been a real challenge and although this is how I look and feel , I am grateful for so many things. Support from friends colleagues and peers has got me through. My sketchbook has been my release. Spring is nearly done and summer feels close.

Eddie, my cat is always on my lap when I sketch! Handstands in an elevator!

This morning’s bus ride sketch of a guy with a plaited ponytail from behind

If you're looking for some light reading to take your mind off of the upcoming holiday season, I've got just the thing. *notices synopses* Okay, I didn't say it isn't somewhat sad. It's sad in a different way, ya know? #shortstories #indieauthor

Another sketch from a recent reference by Vilidian. I appreciate being able to post this on Bluesky and not suffer the censorship of instagram. Thanks Bluesky!

On holiday remembering important moments in my past like being struck by the words “ give peace a chance” … how a little phrase changed my thinking that we are all good at our cores

Last life drawing class of the year. It’s been utterly fantastic and has accelerated my drawing journey in great ways

I so enjoyed doing this sketch… some drawings are about going with the feeling you feel.

Sometimes the colours don’t work out

Vilidian isn’t here on bluesky yet but is one of the first models I had the pleasure to sketch. Great to see her develop as a life model.

More life drawing studies from a couple of weeks ago

Happy Monday to all Robin Williams fans.

If I accomplish nothing else in my life, I hope at the very least to deter as many people as humanly possible from putting living, breathing creatives out of work by using the same tech that has stolen from them. AI doesn't make art. Humans do.
