Polly Alderton

From the past few months I've been trying to give myself from half an hour to an hour of free sketching after work everyday: no client vision involved, no self-judgement, no particular idea in mind, no purpose other than just practicing and letting my hand flow freely on the paper. It's been the most rewarding and healing thing I've done for myself in years.

For these study sessions I usually take videos/photos references from internet and photography catalogues (alas I don't have freedom of movement due to covid or enough time to go to life drawing sessions everyday). This is an example of some sketches based on the work of my favorite contemporary photographer: Polly Alderton. I feel so connected with her vision of the world: the subtleties of daily life, the poetry in the rawness of childhood, the storytelling of human relationships... Just go enjoy her art :)

Tim

Yesterday's life drawing session modeled by Timothy Clark and hosted by 2Bornot2BCollective was so cool to draw! Here's a portrait study of a 15 min pose.

PS: Oil pastels look too yummy to not be food.

Baby Bojack

One of my favorite moments from last year was when we got to meet baby Bojack (or so we call him), a tiny foal that lives close to our house, when he was literally just born a few hours ago :...) 

(He's now a young adult boi and we still love him)

Some quick studies from the amazing Shoko Hashimoto's photographies.

Una

Rachel Suggs shared some pics of her dog Una on IG and I got so in love with her super stylised shapes that I had to draw her! It's as if she had a maned wolf at home :O . Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful pics Rachel! :)
