Mick and Hoppa 'Reading material'

Dracos' Last Stand, Drawing From Wargames


 Something I am increasingly doing is drawing from my wargames and the toy soldiers I use. The figures I use mostly stand 54mm.

 The picture is made with fine-liners, gel pens, water color and acrylic.

'V' TV S.F. Series

 

I did something different by starting with a magazine cutout of a mouth. Anyway, I like old SF series and the ladies in this one made an impression.

Sketchy Sketches of the Portrait Group

                                                                                                        
 


These are 15 minute 'sketchy sketches' using pencil instead of my usual pens. The first two were part of the same sketch. The colored one shows Rod and Klara chatting before they began sketching, Rod soon sat down so it was a very quick drawing of him.

Well, I don't feel TOO bad for using the American version.
