I've been trying my hand at painting. I tried acrylics a while ago and pretty much hated the quick drying buggers, but I thought I'd give it another go, and I might even be falling a little bit in love with them.
Here is the, as yet unfinished, painting I've been working on. Sorry about the dodgy scan!

Welcome to my artwork blog.
Drawing is a passion of mine and I hope you will enjoy looking at my artwork.
I will be adding some tutorials to this blog in the near future, so I hope you will pop back now and then to check them out.
If you have any questions or comments about my artwork, or about drawing in general I would love to hear from you.

Well, after my initial excitement of setting up a blog I haven't actually done any posting! But I have done some drawing. This little guy was in the Next catalogue and I just had to draw him.
I've gone very dark on the eyes, using a Mars Lumograph 8B for the pupils. I wasn't sure how it would look, when I've tried very soft grades of pencil before I find they can look out of place against the shinier harder graphite. I quite like the effect in this drawing though and I might even try a bit of colour (maybe on the eyes) on my next portrait.
