People

I love drawing people. It's difficult however to get people to pose sometimes and that's why I often resort to drawing myself. I have drawn myself hundreds of times over the years and always found it the hardest thing... I always think of being able to draw yourself well as a gauge of drawing ability, and I always struggle with it.

Drawings

Sleeping dogs and basil

My pen has run out of ink so I have to draw in pencil at the moment. I am pleased with my basil drawing because I have always been useless at drawing plants but this one doesn't look too bad (in my humble opinion). I usually just look at all the leaves and get completely flummoxed! I think working in pen has improved my eye a bit, as once you put a mark down there is no going back so you have to judge measurements and angles correctly first time.
