Water Colour

Posted on November 8, 2011 by Guthlac

I have been threatening this for sometime and have finally got round to having a go…yes I am starting g to experiment with watercolour. The last time I tried this was over a year ago and it wasn’t that successful … Let’s hope this time is better.

The real Pretty Woman

Posted on November 6, 2011 by Guthlac

In truth this a sketch of Julia Roberts from pretty woman – however it got away from me a little but I think it is he better for that…perhaps this what the real character might well have looked like rather than the stunningly beautiful Ms Roberts.

Blade runner and Tron experience

Posted on November 6, 2011 by Guthlac

I am having an out of body experience at the moment…I’m watching American football on the red zone whilst listening to Daft Punk’s Tron music on the iPad. At times it seems like I am in game when music syncs with action…very strange.

Tron

Posted on November 5, 2011 by Guthlac

A bit of an up and down day…still I enjoyed making this Dude drawing. Tron Legacy is one of the silliest films made in a while yet it does have certain charm – even if it is all gloss and very little substance.

Nude Man

Posted on November 3, 2011 by Guthlac

I have decided that it is time to draw more than just the face. This is a bit a wrench for me as I started this whole art adventure wanting just to be able to capture a likeness. Well I think I am well on the way to achieving that goal, now I want to draw the whole body. It is hard work starting to get a handle on the exact proportions and their relationship with one another and if I am honest I am not too happy with the results. However, you have to start somewhere and if the last 12 or so months has taught me anything…if at first you don’t succeed try, try again!

Catherine Tate

No 2 of the sick bed series…actually that makes it sound as if I was quite ill – I wasn’t but why let the truth get in the way of a good story? Why indeed.

Meg Ryan

Posted on November 2, 2011 by Guthlac

I’ve had a bit of a cold for the last day or so so it has meant that I have been able to enjoy myself sketching. Here is the latest creation – Meg Ryan in her prime…however like us all her prime is slowly fading into middle age…oh the joys of life.
