Bed drawing

I'm feeling a little under the weather today BUT I have managed finish off these Pelicans which I initially had in mind to do in an animated small card form for the Ripple blog - however it turned out to be A4 in my sketchbook and a nice distraction from my headache. My back is killing me right now - I should probably sit at a table to do this stuff:




Apart from my back being ruined, it was nice to sit on the bed a doodle. I had a much more unproductive day yesterday before meeting a friend and only half finishing a sketch of the Library Clocktower, due to cold fingers and constant distractions. I would still like to get to the point where I can draw anywhere but I seem to need the right conditions. The REAL condition is probably just shutting down the mind and focusing on the page, but that's a little difficult with a drill and builders a few feet away! Gahh. Other news is, the drawing IS back again (thankgod) and I have got rid of the rubbish in my life. I am chucking out that trash and starting again. A nice little clean slate.

  1. Lovely pelicans! I too find it hard to sketch or do art when I am around others or if I am not in my studio.. I guess I am too easily distracted. I tried in the library the other day and the people there were distracting too... geeesh!

  3. Really nice one! I appreciate the proportion and symmetry actually, and you did it all in your bed ^^ I hope your back gets better soon.

  4. Love the pelicans! As for your fingers being too cold to draw, I had to go to your profile to see where you lived! I'm still struggling the obscene heat and humidity, oh, and mosquitoes. I think I'm a bit like you, needing perfect conditions! Hope you find the time to go back and finish your sketch!
