Armoured Glove – Warm Up Sketch
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.

Megaloceros Giganteus #2
I had one mission in mind when I went to the Leeds City museum, and that was to have another go at drawing the Megaloceros. My orginal sketch from February 2009 is here
It’s interesting rereading the commentary from where I drew it first time round. Where last time I was concerned about proportions, this time I was far more concerned about the light. The lighting in the room is extremely unnatural – not that you expect to see giant skeletal Megalocerous running around in daylight of course.
The museum lights do throw shadows, which in turn effect the shape of the skull which I found distracting when trying to define the shape. I do feel, I have done far more justice to his jaw this time around, though I do feel I have cheated him on his teeth.
Also of note, where I mentioned in my drawing of the cranial nerves about the cheap pad I used that was extremely smudgy. I actually deliberately used this pad for this drawing, to use that “smudginess” to my advantage.

Speed Sketch #5
After much cobweb collecting, The Leeds Sketching Group is back. I myself, have taken over the reins and we had our first new meet this sunday gone, at the Leeds City Museum.
I am also involved in the running of the Leeds writing group , I write fiction mainly set in the Belle Epoque, which you can find over here at The Dead Adventurers Club . I mention this, as I’m currently looking at bringing the two under the same umbrella. Watch this space

Biting of More than I can chew
Knew it from the start, but thought i would give it a go anyway! this is the entry to the county arcade in the victorian quarter. Filled with lots of shops that I don’t really understand. There’s a photo i took of it in the snow back in February this year
here. Biggest problem i had was drawing curves on a perspective,been reading up since and actually looking forward to giving this another go.
Anyway, I will be back in June with some more updates to this blog

Long overdue! These were actually done about 3 weeks ago. Just some simple quick sketches drawn of people walking down Brigate in Leeds to warm up. Also, my last Leeds Sketching group for a while as I’m away for the next few weeks.
