Instagram Round-up - Cauliflower heads, Cate and cars

Some sketches from the past month. Includes foliage, a cauliflower headed man, Cate Le Bon, made up landscapes and gangsters in cars.

Huggers

A few sketches of Huggers from my sketchbook last week.

Huggers are extremely skittish creatures. They can be traumatized by almost anything - birdsong, ringtones, the opening of an envelope, the sound of a falling leaf, an insect yawning, a particularly loud shirt - and can be in full hug mode in seconds. They mean no harm but unfortunately don't know their own strength. Avoid at all costs standing next to a full grown hugger at a bus stop.

Berlin Sketchbook

Here's a few sketches from our recent trip to Berlin. So many nice cafes, bars and museums to sit sketching in. Wish I could spend more time in Berlin just drawing.

From top to bottom - Cafe Cinema, Ramones Museum, To Be Or Not To Be, Katie's Blue Cat Bakery (best cup of coffee I had in Berlin!), Starbucks.

Instagram Highlights

I hadn't realised how little I'd posted in August so here's a bumper crop of sketches I've posted on Instagram over the last 3 or 4 weeks. Includes trees, animals in clothes, hard to reach houses, Tiki, dubious robots and Pie Fonz.

DoodlePlanet August

Here's my piece from August's DoodlePlanet. I used a matchpot of paint, a brush pen and an ivory POSCA. Once again I had no idea what I was going to do before I started. I've thought about planning something out in the past but I don't think that's what DoodlePlanet is about. Something interesting happens when you just start drawing. Not always good but always interesting.

Portmeirion

I finally got to visit Portmeirion a few weeks ago and managed to do a bit of drawing (not enough!). Such a beautiful place. Next time I need to go back armed with some colour.

July/August Instagram Round Up

Some recent Instagram activity. Warning - includes a lot of moustaches.
