Today's onions!
I may have been a bit too ambitious trying to complete this life drawing late in the evening, using only black pens. I thought onions and garlic on a tea towel would be a simple and quick sketch—but clearly, I was wrong.
Onions always make you cry, whether you're peeling them or drawing them. 😅
For the seventh day of this black and white challenge, I drew this picture.
Today's piece is a life pen sketch of the "The Dog Rules" shopping bag by @totteringbygently. On the external part there are some illustration of a humorous dog story by Country Life cartoonist Annie Tempest, and when I saw it, I was immediately inspired to create today’s drawing.
I needed a cup of coffee this evening. So, here it is my drawing.
This is a life pen sketch of my kettle, which was the only inspiring object I could find in the kitchen at the end of another super busy day. I’m in hot water now—time for a cup of tea!
And today's drawing is the following.
Inspired by my busy Sunday, this is my trusty drying rack. Despite being small and compact, it can hold a surprising amount of clothes. Life drawing in pen.
The fourth drawing for this challenge is the following.
After another busy day, the only thing I craved was a cup of coffee and some ginger nut biscuits. So, why not use them as models for my life sketch? By the time I finished the drawing, there was only one biscuit left.
On the third day of the black and white picture challenge, I decided to draw this.
Despite this being another pen sketch (I really do love pen sketching!), I wanted to feature Lola, the other studio dog. I drew her this evening, sitting on the living room floor after a busy day. She was curled up in her bed, wrapped in a blanket, with her muzzle tucked under her tail. The scene was lit by the kitchen light from the right-hand side. Of course, Lola didn’t stay in that exact position long enough for me to finish the drawing, but it was enough to capture the essential lines.
On the second day of the challenge, here it is my drawing of the day.
This is another pen sketch, featuring my beloved dog Susie, curled up for a nap on her favourite chair in the studio. She must love the warmth from the radiator—who can blame her?! It’s a simple drawing done from life.
At the beginning of this year Claire Tozer, a lovely painter who shares the same love for nature and the countryside as I do, challenged me to post one black and white picture each day for 10 days.
This is my first drawing.
