Today's practice piece. The reference photo is from the last day of #drawingaugust this year. Now rendered in oil paint. I think I'm even beginning to slow down. miraculous 🐌
Looking at your work for #DrawingAugust again, your use of colour is complex and subtle yet with some fabulous contrasts, complements and juxtapositions. Such balanced composition too - working A5 and A6 must be challenging 👍😎
#drawingaugust Here all my drawings in one image. Thanks for the likes and reposts. Really enjoyed doing this and seeing others drawings. Here's to next year.
Seven very scribbly figure drawings: a waiter, three photographers, calling a taxi, pulling on a rope and just sitting (on the ground). Signed ‘JDK, 31/8/25 Drawing August’.
It was day 31 #DrawingAugust & #DrawingAugust2025. I got a few quick figure sketches in. Not from life and all open for improvement, but v happy with them overall.
I’d’ve loved to have got more done in the month, but I’m v pleased to have done as much as I did too. Should do more, here’s hoping.
A rough charcoal sketch of a smiling middle-aged woman with glasses and a plait.
This morning I was all,'Phew, August's over. Thank goodness I don't have to do a drawing today.' And then... out popped another one. Guess it's a habit now. Trying to do a smiling self portrait. So difficult. Charcoal this time. #DrawingAugust
#DrawingAugust today's sketch with added rain splodges.
Thank you, everyone, for your posts and to everyone who has liked, shared and commented on #DrawingAugust
Sliding in on the final day of #drawingaugust with some dear little dead 🐝 and 🦋 I have found here and there and collected (but not killed). It’s been super seeing everyone’s work again 🥰💕🌻

Have thoroughly enjoyed #drawingaugust both participating in and seeing the work of other people - though I have missed a few days!

Drawing of a scene with three trees
One for the last day of #DrawingAugust 😊 #trees #drawingtrees #drawing #sketchbook #art
Photo a a sketchbook page showing a drawing in coloured pencilled of a tree by a canal side, with a life buoy to the right of the tree.
The final day of #DrawingAugust and I've continued with the canal side. This tree has entranced me.
It's been great to have this month as a focus for drawing of some kind. Thanks to @viviennem.bsky.social for getting us going.

The last for #drawingaugust
It’s been great to see all the drawings people have contributed for the month, especially on this platform.
Looking forward to next year already!😉😁👍✏️

My last drawing of #DrawingAugust is of a poor tree split by Storm Arwen in Nov 2021. The fallen trees are a daily reminder of the power of the storm. Hopefully not to be repeated any time soon.

Reeds and waterside plants next to the river, a house and trees are seen the other side. Pencil sketch.

I’ve really enjoyed creating a daily little piece of A6 art in my sketchbook for #drawingaugust. Sharing what I’ve created during this month with you all today. ✍🏼😊❤️

A stylised fineliner illustration of a pumpkin, cat, rocks, grass & a dandelion seed wafting in the air
Trying out some new (to me) watercolour paper & doodled something a little autumnal seeing as it’s the last day of August
I also managed to do more dipping in than out for #DrawingAugust too for the first time in ages, which I’m taking as a win. Thanks for all the likes & reposts

A pencil drawing of a scruffy woman in glasses with hair tied loosely in a plait.
Day 31 of #DrawingAugust and I finish with a self portrait, this time in very soft pencil. Some might say it would have been a good idea to brush my hair first and/or tidy the room. Some might be right.
A colourful drawing of green apples and a couple of pears on a plate, with some red apples in the background.
A by-product of #DrawingAugust - a still life that took three days, on and off, while I tried to shrug off this cold. 'Apples and Pears' in pastel.
Final! #DrawingAugust Day 31
While our Lime tree blossom is white our Lemon tree has pink tinged flowers.

A gull floats on water and another flies overhead, wings curving out and down, framing it.

Gulls, allegedly.
