Wee bit more tonight. Now if I could find one of the 6 million putty rubbers I have in the house that would be handy!

Wee bit more of Uncle Charlie. Currently looks like he’s been hit in the mouth by an iron ‘Tom and Jerry style’ but I’ll work on it.
On a weird note, it’s mildly disconcerting when a drawing is staring back at you from the drawing board…

Started on my next one. I’m not brilliant at portraits but I’ve done a few and they’re always challenging. This is the beginning of Uncle Charlie.
Also I have a new pack of Faber-Castell graphite matt pencils and I am a happy bunny.

Getting close. Still loving it.
Been watching Guillermo Del Toro‘s Frankenstein tonight. Been a long time since I’ve been both creatively inspired and emotionally devastated by a movie. Absolute class.

I keep buying and trying new pencils but I keep coming back to my Faber Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencils in 10-12-14B for shading. Absolutely love them!
Another wee bit tonight. I tend to lay down a base and then go back into it again so no area of this is finished btw!

Blocking in Doggo One.
Next one outlined in. Why oh why did I agree to draw doggos this size?!? I had to purchase some new 16B pencils for it tho…
And at least it’s not like when I did the giant hockey painting and started dreaming about the massive canvas 😂

For the past few months I’ve been attending Art Wednesdays at the Anatomical Museum in Edinburgh.
Finally got permission to post the pics. Various stages of finished but I’m quite chuffed with them.
