A mixed bag
Continuing with my drawing diary inspired by Children’s Laureate, Chris Riddell’s, Five Point Plan, again proved a little tricky over the past few days…but I’ve kept going, albeit not every day.
Chris Riddell’s Five Point Plan
My first drawing is one that I set as a challange to myself. I have a friend who, along with his partner, keeps alpacas in the province of Cordoba in Spain. I wondered if I could draw one…here’s the result of that little experiment. A decidedly pensive/angry alpaca!
Since the last time I posted, I’ve transferred to Spain for a holiday so my second offering is a sketch of the view I have from the balcony. The view is quite beautiful and I’m not sure that without colour I can entirely do it justice. I have simplified what I can see just a little bit, it’s not quite to scale and, like most of my other drawings, it’s a bit wonky!
Yesterday, we were invited to lunch by some friends and the effects of a huge lunch, one or two drinks and the heat meant that the drawing of this ‘rustic’ chair is probably more ‘rustic’ than reality! Another decidedly wonky sketch!
Today I decided to try something a bit different. Having unsuccessfully tried to draw my granddaughter’s face and abandoning the attempt, I Googled ‘drawing cartoon characters’ and came across the TutsPlus web site. Following some very simple instructions, I managed to draw these two characters! I did have fun drawing these but I don’t think any of my illustrator friends need feel threatened!
