Sketching Start Points

Though I haven't practised my drawing skills in a while, I've been thinking that in order to collect ideas and refresh my mind I should be drawing more whilst I am out and about. 

I drew this quick little sketch of some thorns I saw whilst out walking a few weeks ago and was surprised to see how many different shapes I could use in my future paintings.

Portrait Practise

I draw this a couple of weeks ago - it's a portrait of a model I saw on my Tumblr dashboard that caught my eye. Her hair is originally a bit darker and her eyes were brown, however I wanted to play with a little more colour. I haven't really drawn anything as well as this before so I'm pretty happy with it!

It isn't part of any projects of mine, it was just a way of keeping me occupied this holiday and building up my personal portfolio.

Disney Sketches

This week I've been having fun drawing Disney characters (well, Peter Pan and Alice) as part of my art project. I'm aware that Alice in Wonderland is over abused so I probably wont use my entire collection of drawings of her in my project but some may be useful. It's been a good way to try out my new set of Faber-Castell pencils I was given especially!
