Floral prints

You may recognise the flowers in these prints from some of my other fine liner drawings, they were pleasing to draw so I decided to draw them in multiple. These prints may or may not become part of a bigger design in the future, maybe even coloured.

Compass drawing

Compass Inn still have some walls with space to paint on so I've been designing a few options for them such as this brass compass. I carefully added the pub's logo as the compass rose, I wonder how many people will notice...

Pastel Petals

pastel coloured fineliners and yet more cross-hatching

With a dash of colour

Added a bit of warm colour using my trusty ProMarkers
Original here 

Object Creatures

Two more surreal specimens, the beginnings of a flock perhaps...

Ridged Comb Tail

Long Billed Bottle Neck

Cross-hatching Craze

 The latest cross-hatched drawing completed - first mentioned here 

Object Creature

This unusual specimen was sketched as a bit of fun and partly out of curiosity, the design is constructed from a series of household objects. The result is surreal but quite effective, I may even try a few more...

Watch-winged Wader

A combination of ideas

A combination of catalogue drawings and the decorative motifs I've been sketching recently, this is most likely the starting point to a series of works that feature a fusion of decorative elements and household items.

More Cataloguing

Another page of catalogue drawings ( see here for more) 

sneak peak- everyday jumble

Here's a small preview of my latest drawing, its an abstract jumble of fragmented everyday objects - I'm revisiting/revitilising some past ideas around the theme of everyday, particularly the abstraction of household objects.

On another note: I think my cross-hatching phase is hitting its peak about now... 

keep an eye out for the finished drawing - I'll be posting it up soon.

Saltram Stairs

Found this buried in my studio stash today. Its a watercoloured photocopy of a drawing inspired by Saltram house ( a local national trust property), in other words another relic of a past project that I plan to revive / rework.

Leaves

Finding new uses for a doodle pattern that used to adorn my degree lecture notebooks

Compilation sketches

I spent a pleasant few hours hatching away with my fineliners, jumbling together snippets of different subjects to be used later ...

First drawing of the month...

The first drawing of November, another to go with the bunch I posted here.

These drawings I've been producing recently have all been inspired in one way or another by an old photocopied page motifs I found stashed away from years ago. It serves as a nice starting point for the designs though frequently my finished drawing has little in common with the motifs (all of which are no more than an inch wide and poorly photocopied) partly due to drawing style but also because of all the extra pieces I keep putting in.

These two are a good example of the "added extras", as you can see, the bottom one is an expanded version of the top one - complete with cross-hatching (I think I'm having a bit of a cross-hatching phase)
