Fishink Sketches

I am keeping my hand in by sketching every now and then when I can find the time, playing around with different lines and styles. It does create new ideas and keeps my eye focussed on different ways of drawing and helps to build up a portfolio of imagery that I like too. Here are a couple of pages from my sketchbook.

With a splash of colour on brown paper and other textured surfaces.

Here I played around with the idea of doing a scribble with the brush pen and then quickly making it into something recognisable from the shape it suggested. Each dog took no more than 30 seconds. Some I like more than others, but generally, I think they have a good sense of movement. I added some colour to the top three dogs afterwards.

Some scruffy hounds in this bunch !

I like the butch one above (probably called Spike or Brutus) with the eye patch and the frantic one below chasing his tail. More hounds over on my Fishink website here.

A few more splashes of colour to add texture, movement and variety.

Happy day everyone and all comments, as ever, are most welcome.
