Latest drawing. Art is therapy. I have arthritis in my thumbs which limits my dexterity. I've taught myself to draw not using my thumbs. I work in short bursts and can't draw 2 days running. But I have to regularly, it helps mental health and gives me purpose. #FrancisRossi

Yesterday #AliceCooper reposted the drawing I did of him on FB and insta. Beyond thrilled. I've no way of knowing if he's actually seen it. It's an indescribable feeling. He also shared it as a story too. #sickthings. #fanart #portrait #colouredpencils #art
Maaaaaaaaa...
It's spring and little cute #lambs are everywhere near me. So here's one I painted in #watercolour this weekend.

Alice has such a glorious face and stage persona this was a joy to draw.

A part completed coloured pencil drawing of the legendary Alice Cooper, wearing an oversized black top hat embellished with metal studs and a black jacket. He has wild black hair and his trademark stage black eye make up.
It's been a while, but finally a new drawing on the go. The fabulous #Alicecooper .
What a face❤️ #prismacolor and #Holbienpencils on #Strathmorebristolboard A4

Gig of my life so far. Blew me away and I've seen some amazing artists.
But I had been waiting since 1989 to see them.
Thank you. ❤️
A realistic drawing of a red fox at night, staring straight out of the picture directly at the viewer with a dark blurred background of a hedgerow/long grasses.
I'm so pleased with this drawing

A colourful male mandarin duck facing left on a river with it's colours reflecting beneath him.
A mandatory duck in pastels I did a few weeks ago. I'm really pleased with my progress in pastels. Practice practice practice.

Thank you ❤️
Something different for me. Acrylic on canvas sheet. I'm not a natural painter and find it confusing. So more practice. Practice thinking, exploring , doing... And the inevitable cliche.. the journey not the destination.

Thank you so much
That’s really beautiful .
I’m the same I’m all in buy all the gear get obsessed for a few years then try something else .
Absolutely. Frustrating, fiddly and swear inducing
I started drawing in lockdown after 30 years of doing no art at all.
Practice and complete obsession is needed. I'm never happy. I love using watercolours, I think you have to try different things to push yourself but also to discover what suits you. And don't follow rules...find your own way
Thank you. I'm constantly pushing to be better. I was really pleased with this... But it was frustrating at times
Thank you . I'm obsessed with realism. Sometimes I get it right, sometimes not. Thanks for following.
Thank you
Wow, thank you❤️. I'm obsessed with realism. I usually use coloured pencil on top, but this is pure pastel and pastel pencil. It was extremely fiddly/frustrating

Thankyou. She was perfect
Thankyou.
Sketch in coloured pencil of longhaired women with hair tied up with her face half covered, cuddling a pure white english bull terrier dog. The dog is looking directly out of the picture at the viewer . You can only see the dogs head. It is partially coloured.
A self portrait I'm working on, (although probably wont do much more) with my beloved and much missed #bullterrier Nansi.
