Have a little faith in me

Pencil. I was going to give this sketch a depressing title, but I think God just reminded me to "have a little faith in me". So I did and am and he's been good so I'm all good. Cheers. Think I'll go down to the shore this weekend if the weather holds up and maybe try to get some of those sea scenes.

Edinburgh beginnings

To my Pa, who wanted me to keep my blog updated and to my Ma, who keeps sending me parcels from home. Left - top of the Royal Mile, Right - Self-portrait (kinda looks like me - the nose anyhow!). Finally found an art supply shop in Edinburgh today, just past the North Bridge. Got an artist journal with different colour paper which I look forward to using. Also went to Museum of Scotland and got half way through and the fire alarm went off. Good what I saw though and early BC/AD jewellery was cool.

Contour at Airports

Blue ink on paper. Waiting at Singapore and Heathrow airports I thought I would try some contour drawings. Stumbled across Scottish National Portrait Gallery today. Portraits completely blew me away. Looks like I'm going to have to try drawing my own face again!
