Warm up exterior sketch of Temple Works

A very quick warm up sketch done of the exterior of Temple  Works in Leeds, done as part of a Leeds Savage meet to the building.

A phrase heard quite a few times over the visit, was “A lot of straight lines”

Victoria Hotel Speed Sketch

Collection of speed sketches

Speed Sketches Victoria Hotel

Phew, February was an extremely busy month, March is not looking of any sign of easying up, but it has all been for a good cause. The Leeds Savage Club is now up and running. Its a bit cables and wires at the moment, but keep checking back to that link.

This Sunday just gone, was the first meet of the sketchers, now under the Savage banner. Six of us turned up to the Victoria Hotel in George street to do some sketching. To the right is my warm up.

A very quick sketch of the statue ‘The War God’ at Leeds Art Gallery.  You can see the original here . I was at the gallery for, the very last Leeds Sketchers Meet, which was appropriate, as it was where the first one was inFebruary last year. Though it is the last ‘Leeds Sketchers Meet’, it is not the last time we are meeting. We will be meeting in March under the name, The Leeds Savage Club.  Check out this link after the 3rd of March for details.

Armoured Glove - Warm Up Sketch

The Second meet of the Leeds Sketching group 2010, and this time it was off to the Royal Armouries.

The left, is a quick warm up sketch of a 15th century armoured glove. The glove is part of a half set of armour, which I continued to draw in my next drawing.

Latin Rock #2

HB and 2H Drawing of the infamous Latin Rock

Latin Rock #2

Back to the Latin Rock for a warm up. This time, I used just an HB and and a 2H pencil in this sketch, concentrating more on the detail. In fact, went to town a bit and it would be fair to say I overdid it.

It interesting, though at a slightly different angle from my first latin rock sketch, which concentrated on the shading.
I can see in my mind now, how if i was going to do a proper drawing of the rock, I would combine the two. Where I would use detail and where I would shading.
Well worthwhile exercise in doing the two separate drawings.
