A quick drawing from life from yesterday's swimming lessons. Swimming teachers make the best shapes when crouching down to the water.

Pretty happy with the arms, hands and the shoulder line

A pencil sketch of a giraffe on two legs playing football as in soccer. He (or she) is wearing a football kit, boots and is kicking a ball. The hugely long neck and legs are almost bend double as the giraffe runs for the ball :)

Drawn in pencil then coloured digitally.

I poke my tongue out while concentrating too :)

Happy #worldbookday everyone. I'm sure there'll be lots of Harrys and Hermione's dressed up for school today.

Here's one of my #harrypotter pictures :)

They really should do an animated version instead of redoing the live action films

We have a new kitten who's proving very, er, helpful when I use a pencil to draw. Love this picture as it looks like the character is saying 'hey! Get off the paper!' :)

Photograph of a kitten pouncing on a sketchpad and playing with a pencil. There is a pencil drawing of a cute rabbit character that looks like it is shaking his fist at the kitten as if to say 'hey, get off the picture'

From the #sketchbook today. Wasn't planning to do this but sometimes it pops into your head and doesn't go away so you have to get it down on paper :)
