A Mo’- Success!

This was the first year I decided to jump into the Movember ring and try to raise some money for men’s cancer. Tams and I have men in our life who have been affected by this… and let’s face it, we all know or love someone who has been touched by this. Let’s do whatContinue reading “A Mo’- Success!”

Captain Jack Sparrow and Hulk Hogan!

More Movember sketches! Day 9, a donor requested Captain Jack Sparrow! Lots of detail on his outfit to simplify. Day 10, I had to do Hulk Hogan – this one was fun to do with cutout construction paper because he is just made up of colours and shapes 🙂

Movember catch-ups.

What do Chaplin, Sam Elliott and Wolverine have in common??? Almost nothing. Except they were requests in my Movember sketch challenge! If people give money to this cause, they earn the right to suggest a drawing! So here is Day 3, 4 and 5! Keep Mo’ing on and donate here!

Sketching “Psycho”.

Trying an exercise I haven’t done in a while…. watching a favourite film, pausing it whenever I like the composition, and trying to sketch it as fast as possible.

These didn’t all turn out, but with theContinue reading “Sketching “Psycho”.”
