The model we were supposed to have for this session (one of our regulars, who shall remain nameless) cancelled at short notice. Fortunately Robert was able to find a replacement. Nigel has posed for the group before, but not since I joined them.
I arrived a bit late for the session, just in time to catch the last two minutes of what I think was the first pose (which would make it a 15 minute pose). Rather than start in my usual sketchbook I decided to launch straight in with a charcoal drawing on A3 paper.
I think this was a good move as this enabled me to use a looser style that worked better for what was effectively a very short pose.
This is another drawing from a while back...I think 1994 or 95. At this time, I was submitting my work to independent press publications of the horror and weird fiction genre, in the hopes of getting my name out there. This was among the first of a hanfful of small assignments. Although this seemed like an exercise in futility, I did manage to get some stuff in print...
This drawing (and many more) now appears on my new art blog: apieceofarteveryday.blogspot.com - feel free to check it out!
Joel Bruyere is the bass player and backup vocalist for the Band Thousand Foot Krutch. I was pumped when I found out TFK was going to be at Lifest (huge four day long concert with a ton of my favorite artists) this year, and I immediately set off to find some good pictures of the members of TFK. I couldn't find many pictures of Joel, let alone good ones. I had found a few however, but they were too small and pixelated for me to jot down any details, so I settled for this one. It was a bit hard to get the light on the side of his face right next to the darker shading on his cheekbone, but I'm happy with the results. I had a bit of trouble with the eyes as well, being that Joel's eyes are shaped differently then most people I've drawn. The hair wasn't too hard, but it sure is a bit -er... unique :P I usually have trouble getting the lighting on dark shirts like this one right as well, but I think I'm getting the hang of it, cause it looks pretty good to me! This drawing took about 5 or 6 hours, a bit longer than I thought it would. I can't wait to give TFK the drawings! Well, o about 20 drawings and 6 or 7 more bands to go!
original drawing by Kirsty Charleston called "dark elf" any constructive criticism or advice appreciated :)

Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral
The cathedral brings back memories of being child, when I first entered the cathedral as a youngster the colours that surrounded me inside were magnificant. I wanted to bring the colour aspect into the picture but in different way so i used my photography to do this.
