After John Paul Jones came out so well a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to have another go at drawing a portrait with markers by concentrating on...

Jenni
The second bit of figure drawing of the day. This time it's Jenni. Back to the colours that work best for me at this sort of thing, with lots of...
Brie
It's cold and wet outside, so no chance of any painting. Instead, I'm indoors with the inktense pencils and plenty of Models just waiting to be...
AnaIv
After that last disaster, a quick response. Figure drawing with the inktense pencils is much less risky than portraiture, so I went on to...
The Sneer
Oh dear. A portrait of Zinedine Zidane in inktense pencils that went horribly wrong. The worst thing about it is the mouth. Oh and the general...
Sedona, Arizona
Yesterday's High Noon painting was a bit lacking in colour for one of my creations, so I thought I'd do something colourful today: a three colour...
High Noon
With not many ideas about what to paint and not wanting to keep doing abstract after abstract, I thought I'd have a go at another famous Western....
The Tree Of Life
My second painting of the day was a lot more successful. The underpainting was again in ultramarine blue, raw sienna and burnt sienna. With two...
One For The Bin
All my artwork, good or bad, goes up on this website. That's why I'm showing you this abomination. I saw a Jean Lurssen video this morning in...
Led Zeppelin
And here's the complete Led Zep collection. The four drawings are all in different styles but work well as a set. Four different colour...
John Paul Jones
And here he is at last, John Paul Jones. The only bassist to have ever given me any trouble (Geddy Lee, Jimbo and Roy are three of my greatest...
Robert Plant
Next up in the Led Zep collection is Robert Plant. Those curls were always going to make this a difficult job but I don't think this came out too...
John Bonham
Next up in the Led Zep collection is the late John Bonham. He's going to look like the odd one out in this collection, being drawn in his heyday...
Jimmy Page
Before I get back to the paints, some portraits with markers. And after the Rush collection turned out so well, I thought I'd go slightly more...
The Vulture
Well, I think I set off with the right intentions. I wanted to do another portrait and wanted to take the easy route with a bald gentleman. I...
Annual Self Portrait 2020
I fancied another go with the inktense pencils but, rather than doing another female nude, thought I'd have a go at a self portrait. And,...
Winter Is Coming
I thought I'd have another go at turning an abstract underpainting into something recognisable. This time, though, I made three changes. The...
Skyfall
After a bit of a break from them, I picked up the paints again yesterday. I couldn't decide what to paint is thought I'd start with some random...
Colour And Light: A Guide For The Realistic Painter, James Gurney – Book Review
This might be the last book review for a while as it's the last of the books from my birthday stash. It's the James Gurney book that I've heard so...
Inktober All Year Long, Jake Parker: Book Review
This book has been accused of plagiarising Pen & Ink Drawing by Alphonso Dunn. Just watch this video https://youtu.be/bG3ENcAdWBM and make...
