Life Drawing

Been slipping again, missed life class four weeks in a row. I always find it hard to get back into the flow after not going for a while. Here’s a 40 minute charcol sketch.

The Ten Bells

The Ten Bells, a Victorian pubon the corner of Fournier Street and Commercial Street, Spitalfields, sometimes referred to as a “Jack the Ripper pub”.

Just finished re-reading Alan Moore’s graphic novel From Hell, in which the Ten Bells is visited quite often. So thought I’d re-visit with a sketch. Across the street is Nicholas Hawksmoor’s Christ Church, which also features heavily in From Hell.

Sketch Club

It’s been a busy month so far, so far frustratingly not been getting out to do much drawing. Although While sketching on the ipda last night, I did discover that the Sketch Club app has a record function. It’s a great drawing app and great fun playing back what you’ve just drawn. So I thought I’d upload the video and share it here. Think I’ll have to take the ipad out sketching when it eventually stops raining.

Life drawing – week 2

Made it to Life Class two weeks in a row, which is a bit of an achievement for me.
Here’s a 30 minute sketch from last night.
