Dog portraits – the perfect picture

Drawing chit chatBy GarryDecember 18, 2017

Pencils to draw with

Drawing chit chatBy GarryFebruary 13, 2017

Pencils are my tools of the trade, it’s what I draw with, simple as that. So like any other good worker I need to look after my tools and that’s where my Derwent pencil wrap comes in. It keeps all of my pencils neatly stored and safe along with an assortment of rubbers and pencil sharpeners.…

A drawing as a Christmas present

So the lead up to Christmas was quite frantic on the drawing front as I had quite a few drawings to get out as Christmas presents. This pencil stub (below) is testament to that. The two weeks before was full on, burning the midnight oil to help Santa fulfil his present quota. I’ve had some…

Pet portraits, where do you start?

Drawing chit chatBy GarryMarch 17, 2016
