14th October
There's a fabulous painting of this on the side of an old (almost derelict) building (changing room I think) on a football pitch on the south bank of the Ribble (opposite Avenham Park) I've often admired it whilst walking past. I just watched Tom Hanks in 'Angels & Demons' and recognised a shot of the statue, in Rome - I thought I'd have a go.

DRAWING on the RIGHT SIDE of my BRAIN
DRAWING on the RIGHT SIDE of my BRAIN
September 29th 2013I had a set of pencils and a sketch book delivered last week:
A colleague of mine (Loz Lomax) had posted some of his drawings on Facebook - it kind of inspired me.
My first atempt was this 'Burying Beetle' which I caught in my moth trap (I copied from a photo that I taken)
Next I had a go a 'Rosy Rustic' again I had caught this in my moth trap and photographed it
(Richard Lewington has nothing to worry about)
I ordered a book from AMAZON - DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN - by Betty Edwards (My son Ryan recommended it.) These next four drawings were done before the book arrived:-
Finally the book arrived
- made for a lightly different approach.
This Butterfly - I found a picture on the internet - turned it upside down and copied it upside down
I noticed one or two grid lines showing on the finished article - needed a grid that didn't need erasing. Printed one on card so that I could place beneath paper and see through.
Result (From a photo of a friend of mine - again copied upside down)
