More sketches from my sketch book.
Life drawing and anatomy sketches 22
Photographs – 4
The 4th set of photographs from my Digital SLR.
Outdoor Sketching – 1
A while back (May and June 2011) I undertook an outdoor sketching class at the Botanical Garden in Dundee. Pretty much all of my work focuses on people and characters, so I wanted to branch out and try something new. The images I created were in pastel, watercolours and pencil. I have only got round to scanning some of the images recently. The sketches were in my paper portfolio and I doubt I’ll add them to my online portfolio, so I thought I’d post them on this blog.
The first four sketches are below.
Photographs 3
A third set of photographs taken with my Digital SLR. Again these are from the streets of Edinburgh.
Fashion Illustration – 3
A few more illustration sketches. All three are mixed media and all three are examples of myself experimenting with new media and styles.
Life drawing and anatomy sketches 21
Some more Life Drawing images. All of these are based on photographs. Some by Helmut Newton and Henri Cartier- Bresson.
Fashion Illustration – 2
3 new sketches done in pastel. I’m really enjoying doing these fashion illustrations. I have no experience in how fabric is cut etc, so I doubt these garments are practical, but that is not the point. I am taking my knowledge of life drawing and medical illustrations and trying something new. I will post up some other sketches soon.

Fashion Illustration
In my spare time I have being experimenting with Fashion Illustration. I am finding this very creative and have been attempting different things and experimenting with different media. Pens, markers, ink, charcoal, pastels, oil pastels and water colours are some of the materials I have been using. Theses 2 sketches were created using pastel.
Fashion Illustration is new for me and I am finding it very enjoyable. I never knew it could be so expressive and experimental. Expect a load of more sketches to be posted up here soon.

I mentioned earlier about my new camera. It’s a Canon Digital SLR and I’ve been out taking some photographs.
Here is a selection. These were taken on the streets of Edinburgh. I should have some more up in the next few weeks. I will be taking a class on Portrait Photography at the Stills Gallery in Edinburgh in a few weeks time, so I will hopefully have a few interesting shots from that class to post up.
