Tim and I are fans of the TV presenter, company owner etc etc, Henry Cole and I decided to have a go at drawing him. He's probably not very well known, so I've included the photo I used for reference!
Henry Cole was educated at Eton and has gone on to forge a career spanning some 32 years in the TV and movie industry. The owner of a television production company - HCA Entertainment - Henry is best known worldwide as aTV presenter immersing himself in his lifelong passion for motorcycles and the tinkering and restoring of vintage machinery.
Currently he’s the presenter of World’s Greatest Motorcycle Rides (Travel Channel Worldwide), The Motorbike Show (ITV4 and Discovery Networks), Shed and Buried (ITV and Travel Channel Worldwide), The Motorbike Show Special: Steve McQueen’s Motorcycles, Find It, Fix It, Flog It (Channel 4) and more recently Find It, Fix It, Drive It (More4).
As well as television presenting, Henry runs the production company that makes allthe shows he fronts ... and a whole lot more he doesn’t.
In 2013 Henry set a world land speed record for a pre-1955 750cc motorcycle, riding a Brough Superior on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
"not a tree can count his leaves
each herself by opening
but shining who by thousands mean
only one amazing thing
(secretly adoring shyly
tiny winging darting floating
merry in the blossoming
always joyful selves are singing)"

Happy Sliders' Sunday!
Inspired by a photo plaque of kitten hanging onto a branch.
Hang In There Kitty Copyright 1994, Pencil and Ink.
Digitized in 2014 according to the date modified. However I have lost computers since then and may have scanned it in a long time before that. Prints of this drawing are available to raise funds for our foster cat household. please message me. -Kat
"Hang in There Kitty" was one of the few drawings I made in 1994, inspired by a photo plaque of a kitten holding onto a branch that said, "Lord help me hang in there." Photographer unknown. Plaque is now rare and hard to find on the internet. Reminds me of Psalm 36:6&7. "Oh Lord you preserve (save) both people and animals. How precious is your unfailing Love." - Amplified Paraphrase.

P. S. Original drawing was on tracing paper. I have different techniques when using tracing paper. I scanned the original tracing paper with a scanner/printer and created a print on white paper. I'm sure the original was scanned at Kinko's (bought by FedEx) since I didn't have a printer in 1994. Later I scanned that copy into the computer, cleaned up the smudges to create a clear image on white background.
Here is a drawing I did before Christmas - I was a bit lazy about uploading but I was still drawing while the boys were at work!
Little old lizard driving along near the downtown of an imaginary city. Study for something that I’ve not pursued further. I taped this drawing into a sketchbook, so that I wouldn’t lose it.
No 'celebs' here, just a couple enjoying a cuddle! Just notice how my iPad cover looks just right with the chair cover in the background, lol!

A drawing from the beginning of the month. Can't explain why I wanted to draw this - some photos just appeal.

I haven't been able to get out and shoot in the last few days with the rain and wind, so i thought i'd post another drawing. Some of you may have already seen this one on my Imagekind site - it is another drawing i did of my daughter, depicting the pressures of being a teenager. Some days I think she just wishes she could hide from the world . . . . but then, don't we all . . .
A print of this image is available at Jacki on Imagekind
A bunch of tulips to brighten up the sitting room for Easter. I drew them relatively quickly, but perhaps with too much pencil shading, before adding the watercolour.
portrait of a 7 year old.. She had just lost a front tooth the day of our photo shoot ..so getting the right pose was the challenge..... The drawing is pretty much per photo ..
We are fans of the Netflix series "Stranger Things" and have started watching series 4. Unlike most people, we don't tend to binge watch as we don't want to finish a whole series in one go - we like to spread it out! I used to be a Kate Bush fan (favourite album is Lionheart) and it's good to hear her single "Running Up That Hill again, which features in the series. This drawing is my tribute to her.
Hello Friends..
This is my first charcoal drawing of a human face... its a 12" x 10" charcoal portrait on cold press watercolor paper, I have taken near about twenty hours to make it complete, and in this photo you can see my drawing tools too.. Thank you for your support.
The drawing is still going on in my spare time (and I have quite a lot of that!). Here's one of my latest!

Inspired by granddaughter’s success in growing beans, I, in my turn, have finished a long-postponed project - a frame for the picture of the Yellow Lady's Slipper Orchid, which I color-pencilled about two years ago. Slow brooding brew, eh? But hundred per cent from scratch, with use of local material and theme 😎
One TV woman I love is Claudia Winkleman, best known for her presenting role in BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. She comes across as scatty and cookie at times, but is no airhead. I love her fast wit and am currently hooked on her latest presenting role in 'The Traitors', which is a ruthless game of trust and treachery.
Sketching together with Gérard, Fabien, Lapin, Antoine, Arnaud, Veronica and Omar. Pencil, Fineliner and Watercolour.
I actually copied this from Sasastro's photostream around a month ago. As with many drawings, something just clicks and I feel a strong urge to draw them. This woman looked like she was enjoying the sun on her face!
When watching a series I often find a character I can identify with and in Stranger Things it's Joyce Byers (played by Winona Ryder), probably because she's a mother. She's much more feisty than I would ever be though and I love the humorous side of her in the series. I also enjoy reading about her personality and how the other members of the cast and crew like her and are impressed with her knowledge of the 80s, which is when Stranger Things is set. Here is my drawing of her - a bit smudgy but hopefully she's recognisable!
The Debtors' Prison was built between 1701-5 as a County Gaol. The architect is unknown but may have been William Wakefield of Huby. The side, rear and internal walls, are of brick and stone, the front wholly of stone. The original entances were on the first floor of the projecting wings, reached by flights of steps to where there are now the central windows. The left one lead to offices for the governor and then through to cells for felons, the one of the right leading to a chapel and then onto cells for debtors. One of the most famous inmates was the highwayman Dick Turpin who was tried in York and executed at the Knavesmire in 1735. Later executions were carried out in a walled yard to the rear. Later alterations included removing some of the cells to accommodate prison warders, after the building of new prison blocks on the castle site from 1835, and then for conversion to the Castle Museum from 1952. The steps on the right lead to the Assize Courts which still houses York Crown Court.
