I started this sketch of Dave the labradoodle earlier this month, but finally finished it today! Drawn using Sakura Pigma Micron Pens in an A5 sketchpad.

Summer Solstice Sunset
Summer Solstice! I still haven't made it out for a sunrise, but I did catch the sunset on the longest day of the year. I took the opportunity to walk up on Mousehold Heath in Norwich with my camera. There was a period when the sun disappeared behind the low cloud, but the view did … Continue reading Summer Solstice Sunset
Wayfarer at Night, pen and watercolour
Initially when I started this drawing I had a different idea in mind, and then I made a mess. Instead of throwing the drawing in the bin however, as I often do, I persevered and used it as an opportunity to experiment with the paints and let my imagination take over. I was surprised (and … Continue reading Wayfarer at Night, pen and watercolour
Max, pen and watercolour
Created using a couple of reference photos, this was a gift for a colleague. He was fun to draw!
Rosie, pen drawing

University of East Anglia
A few photos I've taken around the UEA campus over the past month. Most of these have already been shared on social media as part of my '365 Day Art Challenge'.

I'd heard of it before, but this is the first time … Continue reading Inktober Challenge
Fennec Foxes
Although I've sketched fennec foxes a few times in the last year (being desert animals that sleep most of the day, they make lovely drawing subjects!) I hadn't gotten around to creating a full size drawing of them. The reference photo I used for this drawing was a slightly grainy image I'd taken in 2016 … Continue reading Fennec Foxes
Snow leopard
My latest pen drawing is of a snow leopard I saw at Banham Zoo recently: My daily drawing project seems to have shifted somewhat from it's original plan. It started with the goal of completing one drawing each day for a year, then shifted to having the aim of doing at least some drawing each … Continue reading Snow leopard
Fox, Pen Drawing
Fox, Derwent Graphik Line Maker 1.0 on unbranded cartridge paper. This started as a doodle, but I got carried away and really quite like the finished picture! Reference photo my own, taken in 2016.
