Moleskine portraits


















This is probably the drawing I like best in the Moleskine. I joined Wally Torta's self portrait challenge simply because I hate doing them! I started off gently by doing my hands. It shows things I like - tea, drawing, music and my favourite cup. The skull refers to my taste in music (I like all sorts of stuff) and is a nod to Holbein, one of my favourite artists.





















The pencil seems to look enormous in this one!




















Portrait with glasses.



















First portrait of a cat. I just drew it on impulse seeing this cat's face on a book cover and I really enjoyed it. I've loved cats all my life but never drew animals. A little lightbulb moment!




















A quick one of Tom Cruise to get some practice in.















A gratuitous drawing of some green olives since they are also in the Moleskine.

This are TREMENDOUS Felicity! I've coming back to your blog frequently and only now have I managed to leave a comment. I really like the bits of furniture in your last entry - especially the chandelier and 70s lamp shade - a light fetish I guess!
