2143 – Two evening habits combined

I don’t know what brought me to this idea but I thought it would be fun sketching some random scenes from a movie I was watching. I prefer to sketch from life but I really had fun doing this. Of course, part way through I realised I had set myself the task of doing 4 sketches in one evening, albeit small ones! Can you guess the movie?…highly underrated I think.

1398 – Daytime TV

Today I joined #Kyusisketchers again for a virtual meet up. Today’s theme was #Entertainment, so naturally I sketched our TV. Part of this was done while the TV was off, part was done while my daughter was watching the Great British Sewing Bee…now I am expecting more of my old clothes to be cup up and repurposed!

1223 – Mindless

Here is my belated sketch for day 2 of #Inktober2019 – the prompt for which was “mindless”. I didn’t have any difficulty choosing my subject for this – what is more mindless than blobbing in front of the TV in the evening – though after a hard day at work…well there is nothing like it, if you need to switch off your brain!

1163 – The pad

No prizes for guessing what I was doing the other evening…as well as sketching of course. Frankly there isn’t much to do in the evenings here (going out is super expensive)…and I have been catching up (or you could saying bingeing) on some TV shows I have been meaning to watch. Breaking Bad is the one at the moment.

1154 – Sketching from bed

The only room with AC in my apartment is the bedroom – these days I have been spending more and more time there as it’s getting so hot (better WiFi signal too). It was inevitable that I would do a sketch of what I can see, so here it is.

1135 – Family fun

There is a TV in my apartment but I really have to crane my neck to see it as it’s mounted way up near the ceiling. It seemed like a good subject for yesterdays #WorldWatercolorMonth prompt of family fun….when you’ve had a tiring day at work and a long commute home, family fun for us in the evening often ends up as falling asleep in front of the TV!

1110 – Watching Black Mirror

Sometimes in the evening, if I haven’t drawn all day, I just sketch the first thing I see. These are not my legs (which are much hairier), but my wife’s. I was quite pleased with the flesh tones I got on this – a complete fluke as I wasn’t taking much care.
