A Young Couple – A Sketchwork
It’s been a while since I’ve done much sketching and I’ve been missing the creative time if I’m honest. However recently I felt compelled to create a piece for a young couple getting married.

Sketching Little Dogs
This latest large sketch work is based on a photo of 2 small dogs laying on a sofa. As you can imagine getting the it to look right is more than just perspective and getting the face look right – there’s loads of fur try and capture the look of. So the line drawing started…
