Sketchbook page #4 and #5

Actually a couple of older sketchbook entries that I did last year, but forgot to upload them. (Partly plans for an idea I have involving robots!)

Sketchbook page #3

Continuing with the female themed sketchbook drawings.... I've been reading an online superhero book called Worm. I was influenced by the main character, Taylor Hebert, to draw a female superhero (or "Cape").

This is a not my version of how Taylor (aka "Skitter") looks, just a character sort of based on her. In the book, Taylor is more of a plain, geeky type of young girl who (if I remember correctly) wears glasses when not in costume.

I like her ability, which is the power to manipulate bugs, insects, etc.

This is my attempt at trying to colour an inked sketch using brush marker pens (water-based).

Sketchbook page #2

Time for some more sketchbook drawings. I decided I need more practise drawing females!

Sketchbook page #1

I've decided to try and do more sketchbook art to keep up a regular artistic flow. Characters, scenery, whatever....!

During our recent stay in a cottage in lovely Amble (Northumberland), I was inspired to draw the plant box and "frog" flowerpot that sat on the wall in the back yard.

There was also a framed display in the cottage of different knots (Amble being a fishing town). I fancied having a go at trying to copy the "Carrick Bend" knot that was part of the display.



I'm experimenting with using coloured pencils at the moment, so there might be a "coloured" version of this sketchbook page appearing soon!

(Edit: 10 Sept 2017)
I thought it best to add the coloured version here, rather than start a new blog page. So....here it is!
