Here is another sketch of my mum done while we were having a video call. I did one before (see sketch No.3381) that she didn’t like…at least she didn’t complain about this attempt.

115-3389 – My mum again
Portrait
115-3381 – Not me
Here is a sketch of my mum done while we were having a video call. I showed her this after I had finished it and she said “that’s not me…that is a little old lady”.

98-2960 – Trying a portrait
I don’t usually do portraits (you can probably tell by this sketch), but I thought I would have a go of painting my dad from a photo (I can’t do him in person as he is no longer with us) as I was thinking of him (this was done the day after his birthday). I was also thinking I would give this to my mum as a present (she is in the background and I think my sketch of her worked out better)…but I think I need a lot more practice before that happens!

920 – Scrolling through life
Last Saturday we went to see the latest Fantastic Beasts movie and ate at a place called the Old Spaghetti House beforehand. I only had a few moments to draw so the obvious subject was my daughter right in front of me (I coloured it later). It’s not a great likeness – her eyes are too far apart and her chin is a bit pointy (though I tried to correct that).

#361 – Not me
I haven’t posted in a long while because I’ve been ill with a cold…I only missed one day drawing though. Here is a sketch of my wife…it’s not very flattering and she doesn’t really look like this, but I tried!
