Today's subject is the Old Man of Tarsuinn, another rocky formation but this time closer to home on the Isle of Arran. Looking through my swatch...

The Hoodoo Watch
The weather was good enough today to spend a bit of time painting properly in the garden. The subject matter is a set of hoodoos. These are weird...
Colour Bugs
Now that the squad is selected, it's time to follow up that trial of the reds with a full scale workout for the new set of colours. Rather than...
Mark Ruffalo
After Chadwick Boseman came out so well just after after Christmas, I thought I'd build a team and use him as the first in a series of MCU Avengers...
The Regeneration Of Lord Ernie
I got some silverbrush black velvet brushes for Christmas and have been itching to try them out, so braved the cold today and did some painting in...
Chadwick Boseman
It's only 28th December but a new year's artwork kicks off here. I wanted to have another go at a black and white portrait against a black...
Gestural Heather
Another go at an expressive, gestural bit of figure drawing. I picked a pose by Heather for this one, wanting something simpler and quite liking...
Gestural AnaIv
I was in the mood to take some risks today, so I thought I'd have a go at a technique recommended by Bill Buchman in Expressive Figure Drawing....
Kevin
After all the dog drawing I needed a break last weekend but I'm back with the inktense pencils today. To start off, here's a new model, Kevin. I...
Heather
Time for a break from the dogs, so I did a bit of figure drawing. Today's model is Heather. I chose quite a straightforward pose with an easily...
Easter Island
I might have settled into a rut. It's quite easy to keep drawing naked figures with inktense pencils, shading in the shadows and painting over...
JenB, Kneeling
It's JenB again! This is my third drawing of her. Her poses are just consistently powerful, and that's what keeps me coming back to her. Today's...
JenB, Recumbent
Much too early to put my gear away, so I followed up the marker portrait with a bit of figure drawing. This is JenB's second appearance as one of...
Michael Clarke Duncan
Ok, so there was still time left in the day for a portrait with the markers. The Daredevil film was on the telly the other day and I couldn't help...
Maxine
A late start in the painting today, so this will be the only one unless I decide to get the markers out and do a portrait. Today's model is...
Brie, Relaxed
You know me - when it comes to this figure drawing, I like to do two in a day. This time, the model is Brie, someone I've drawn before but not...
NMA Model 15
Today's model doesn't even have a name. She's Model 15 from the New Masters Academy. Great pose though. The idea behind this one was to make it...
I Am The Eye In The Sky
So, AA, when are we going to see what you're doing with that painting of an eye from the other day? And why is it exactly that you're needing to...
Michael
All my figure drawing so far has been of naked females and there are a lot of people out there who would rather see naked male bodies, so I thought...
Aubrey, Seated
As I said in the previous post, it was time to do something different with the figure drawing rather than just turning the handle on the sausage...
