Silver monopoly hat - pencil
Last of the 100 days drawings. I drew this in my notepad at the 100 days live event in Dalston, at the request of another 100 dayer.

i drew this in the pub and was a bit worse for wear at the time... and then the blooming bar staff took the salt shaker away before I finished drawing it!

snow walker - pen/brush and ink
We went for a hike at the weekend, aiming to climb Ben Ime. Unfortunately the snow was way too deep, waist high sometimes. Got some great pictures of the snowy landscape though, and this ink drawing is from one of them.

Lighter - oil paintA lot of my drawings and paintings look quite good from a distance but a bit messy close up. I think this is one of them, although I quite like it.
When I looked at this the next day I realised I forgot to paint the sparking mechanism... not sure how I missed that.

weird looking bird - bush with india ink and red inkI try to draw from my own photographs or from life, but I don't have a fish. I found the source picture for this on flickr.com, although I can't find the link now.
I lightly drew the shape of the fish in pencil. I also sketched some of the shapes of the shadows, then using very diluted india ink and red ink, I painted in those shapes, and this fish appeared.

Dumbarton Castle - Graphite stick on cartridge paperI rarely draw outside as I don't find it easy or convenient, but this is one of those rare occasions. I find it difficult to draw random and complex patterns like the rock face in this - i probably should have just made some suggestions and approximations of the detail.
There were children, dogs and families bussing around me as I drew this... my biggest fear being that a wet dog would walk up to me and do that shaking-the-water-from-its-fur thing.

cake - oil paints
second attempt at oil paints... difficult but this one is a bit better.
also... you should know, I only have 6 colours and none of them are black, so there is some epic colour mixing going on here.

life drawing class - Charcoal
I decided it was time to get some lessons! I saw an ad in the art store (which I have been frequenting recently) for a life drawing class in the Glasgow Botanical gardens on Tuesdays. So I went along to check it out. It was interesting, but I definitely felt that I was running out of time at the end of most of th poses. next week I need to bring bigger paper though.

79/100 - 17.02.2010
charcoal and chalk
This is the largest drawing I've done so far, usually I work on A4 ish sized paper but today I picked up an A3 pad of coloured paper. It was quite a difficult subject but I think it turned out quite nicely.

coffee pot - charcoal and chalk on tinted paper.
I like how this one turned out. I think that over the last 70 days I've started to see better, which seems to be one of the big hurdles to becoming a better artist.
