Our punk 'Dr Sketchy' model was wrapped in a strategically torn t-shirt. This was greatly appreciated by a bunch of 14-yr-old boys when she nipped out for a fag!
Actually I turned up with my multi-coloured sketch pad and discovered I'd left all my materials at home; the surface of the paper is pretty awful for everything except brush pen, so I did my drawings in pencil and then worked over them once I'd got home. I'm really getting into the brush pens - many thanks to Alex Hughes!
Why can't I get brush pens to do this? I must have cheap ones. Lovely line work, and not a cross hatch in sight...nor even a slightly annoyed one.
ReplyDeleteNot just any old brush pen, Steve, but one what kind old Alex Hughes gave me to keep when we went out to play at Dr Sketchy! What a gent!
ReplyDeleteAnd Steve - your brush pens are too busy doing this sort of genius stuff, if you remember:
