Now available, the Complete Freedom Scorned! This project seems to have spanned the history of this little blog, starting as a one-off sketch back in 2012, and is now a complete narrative, available to buy from comixology.

Sadly in 2017 I’ve not done as much life drawing (2018 – do more life drawing). Here are some highlights from Blackburn’s Drink and Draw earlier in the year. An Easter special and ‘Gothic Lolita’ – hopefully self evident as to which is which. And I did an evening of life drawing in Barcelona, with […]

Inktober’s a great exercise and, though I clearly failed on the drawing per day, I did do drawing – yay! All drawings completed on iPad pro with Apple Pencil. No real inks or pens suffered in the process of making these drawings.

A quick comic, no script, no plot, no plan. Just for fun.

I had a primal, neandarthal life drawing session at Studio 22b this week. The theme for the session was prehistoric cave drawing. In keeping with the concept I left the ipad pro in my bag and went to it armed with nothing but earthy coloured charcoal. Lots of excellent, dynamic poses from the model and appropriate […]

Fantastic nights drawing at drink and draw with enthusiastic, if occasionally fidgety, young models showing off a range of dancing skills. ipad Pro now seems like the only drawing implement I’d ever want. It’s top draw… I’m using Procreate, keeping to one tool, the 6b pencil, which is ever so flexible especially when the pencil […]

I took the iPad Pro along to life drawing – a session inspired by the work Tamara de Lempicka,  at Studio 22b. iPad Pro is a great drawing tool, alongside the Apple pencil and Procreate app. Taking it to a life drawing session was a really good test – it allowed me all the flexibility […]

More drinking and drawing in Blackburn, with more fire!     There’s to be an exhibition of Drink and Draw work at the Bureau in Blackburn, and I’m hoping to put a few finished pieces up, as well as some sketches.   Classic poses at Studio 22b Meanwhile at Studio 22b, life drawing has taken […]

Pole dancing at Drink and Draw in Blackburn. Not for exercise or voyeurism, but as a subject for some frenzied life drawings. I took photos for the main performance pieces and it would have been very unfair to ask the ladies to hold a pose on the poles for longer than 30 seconds, but there […]

I love drawing people, it’s the best mental exercise there is – and there’s plenty of life drawing in East Lancashire to choose from. Currently I’m going to two very different life drawing sessions. For the more formal (not formal like evening wear, I mean formal like nude) life drawing I’m attending studio 22b near Barnoldswick, […]

Here’s a drink and draw that I’ve saved for a rainy day before giving it a good colouring in, and I’m glad I did, because I love vikings. At least once per session we’re encouraged to do something silly or let our imaginations run wild. It was a medieval theme, so I’ve added a sword, and […]

My life drawing’s taken a step forward as I’ve been sketching a nude at Studio 22b. The artists’ studio in Sough, near Earby, has started life drawing sessions, and I was there, pencil in one hand, sketchbook in the other. A regular attendee at Blackburn’s Drink and Draw, I’ve also been yearning for some more traditional life drawing. If the […]
