Paris Draw-a-thon 2011

Hey hey!

In a break from tradition I'm going to be putting the images I'm uploading below instead of above, as I feel you need a warning beforehand - there's quite a lot. These aren't even all of them, just a small selection of pieces that I liked.
I considered posting them over a period of time but a. I'd probably forget, and b. you'd inevitably get bored of "Here's another Paris post!"
I've deliberately left out the bright pink Notre Dame I did (nobody needs to see that - I think the sun had got to me) but otherwise I'm pretty pleased with the work! I really enjoyed getting back to working on coloured paper and only being able to work very immediately - no computer access! I also really liked the hazy pastels that kept creeping into stuff; I definitely want to use that more.

Anyway! Here's to it...














So! Hope you liked some of them! Words cannot express how wonderful it was just to spend four days drawing. Any comments/opinions always welcome - they make me happy in my soul!

Till next time...

See you later!

Because you've got to

Hello again!

Apologies for being rather slow on updating, many works in progress at the moment, and fewer final pieces as a rseult. Plus! I'm going away to Paris to draw for a few days (which I'm uber excited about - I've started making my own sketchbook to take with me) so that's been taking up a lot of organisation time.
Just before I go though, I thought I'd get the ol' Moulin Rouge'esque image out of my system. You've got to do at least one, if only to tip your hat to Toulouse Lautrec (I love his stuff - so much movement and life!). So here we go! One brush and inky, interesting fonty, slightly grubby looking pre-Paris piece.

See you soon lovelies!
