Very little sleep and a very quick sketch

Those of you that have been reading my blog since the start will know that I like my sleep! Last night I only got four hours - and today I had to be up and away very early to get to a dog show where I was helping rather than showing. I've felt dreadful all day and just got back a short while ago - that will tell you that once again no time for art. I did get some nice photos at the show which will hopefully be good enough for some future projects, a lovely young rottweiler male and a delightful young whippet.

So for today I'm just uploading a sketch. I started doing these quick sketches a couple of weeks ago, in an effort to improve my freehand drawing skills. I set myself a time limit, try to draw without erasing (or very little) and then look to see what is wrong with it. This one of Taivas (which took seven minutes), has I think captured her personality but unfortunately she looks as though she's reflected from one of those fairground distortion mirrors LOL. She's rather long and thin!

Happy Lappie


It's a dull and windy morning but I shall be out walking a bit later. I wanted to upload a pic I completed a short time ago - it's called 'Happy Lappie' - partly because he looks happy and smiley but also he was nicknamed 'happy dog' while he lived in the UK (he's now gone home to Finland). I hope he cheers up anyone that visits today!

My Girl

I'm a beginner artist living in Hampshire, UK. I've been drawing for approximately 3 years, but for 18 months of that time I did no work at all due to a shoulder injury. "My Girl" was my first piece when I started again.
