It's taken me far too long to post these sketches from this session where Daniella Traub modelled as a 'fantasy creature'! Through the evening I explored different versions of the character - more elfin, a wild girl of the woods, a villain.

Character Sketching – Ballerina
Beatrix held some tricky-to-draw ballet poses last Friday for CTN's On Model class.
Costumed Drawing – Maiden
Last week I was finally able to catch the free costumed drawing session CTN is running before it vanished from YouTube! As it's a recording I was able to skip back and forward a bit as I pleased, so though poses were between two and seven minutes I spent less time on...
Kinsey’s Sword Thumbnails
A few years ago I posted some images from a short story I'd written and illustrated. You can view them here if you didn't see them the first time around! The story follows Kinsey, a young Queen who battles her fears in order to reclaim her sword, her family, and her...
Equitots Lanarkshire Pony Booklet
My sister and I were horse mad when we were younger, with model horses, multiple books, and notebooks filled with pony sketches and stories. I still ride, and (when I'm not in lockdown) volunteer with my local Riding for the Disabled group. So creating this booklet...
Character Sketching – Dorothy
Rachel modelled as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz at last week's On Model session. A little different from the last couple of weeks - this time I wasn't following a model sheet!
Life Drawing, 19th May
Vera modelled at this Tuesday's session. She held some great poses with interesting shapes.

Last week's CTN On Model sketching session featured Jonnathon as Alameda Slim, the villain from Home on the Range. I've only seen the film once so I don't know the character very well. At first I really struggled to figure out how his head connects to his neck! By the...
Life Drawing, 12th May
Vilidian modelled at this week's life drawing session. Unfortunately I'd run out of paper (more is on the way) but I drew in Photoshop instead. I tried to resist using 'Undo' but didn't always succeed ... It was nice having some close-up poses near to the camera.
