Last Nights Drawing. I Make These Tiny Drawings Right Before I Get Into Bed.

Last night’s drawing. I make these tiny drawings right before I get into bed.

I use a 6B pencil and any paper that’s to hand. I have to make drawing as easy as possible, especially at that time of night, so I have a pencil and paper ready on my desk all the time.

The Way Home

A small, abstract pencil drawing. I draw these last thing at night right before I get into bed.

This one has a sci-fi feel to it. Is that a helmet at the top?

I use a 6B pencil because I love the really dark lines it makes and the powdery-ness of the graphite.

A shallow puddle filled with the most beautiful, organic patterns of reflected trees and swirls of water moving over and around pebbles. I love these muted colours too. There is beauty in winter and it makes my heart sing!

Small drawing, approx A7, using Derwent Inktense pencils.

Trying something different for a change: colour(!), using water, and waiting for paint to dry. Thought this might be a problem but it's been a bit of a revelation cos I can still create in breaks from working at the computer.

Future experiments: neater edges and stretch paper.

Some things are still the same: it's small, unplanned and intuitive and I have no idea what it is.
