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...
Rob Key
It's been a good summer of test cricket. I was watching it yesterday and suddenly realised that Sky cricket pundit Rob key would make a great...
The Rush Collection
And here's the complete set together. It may even surpass the chess player set that I thought was my opus magnus. It's up for sale. To see the...
Alex Lifeson

Neil Peart
Next up in either the Rush collection or supergroup collection is the late Neil Peart, one of the greatest drummers of all time and an amazing...

JenB
I found a great website today. It's artmodel tips.com and is a great source of material for figure drawing. In particular there are lots of naked...
Headless Amy
So I had another go at Amy, this time without a head. I started from one of the one-minute sketches I did earlier as it looked so energetic and as...
Amy
After the warmup, I was ready to do a proper picture of Amy using the inktense pencils. I started with a decent gesture drawing. There's a nice...
Warming Up With One-Minute Sketches
After a pencil drawing and a painting yesterday, today it's time to give those inktense pencils a runout. And to have a proper go at some figure...
The Frankenstein-Dracula Variation
After reading Painting By Design by Charles Reid, I felt ready to attempt my first watercolour portrait. It started off as the world chess...
